March Swagness Has Hit Swag Bucks

My favorite rewards site Swag Bucks just started a new promotion! Here are all the details from their blog.

March Swagness is all about you earning bonus Swag Bucks while doing all of the things you’re already doing on our site. It’s really simple – every day we’ll give you an earning goal, which you’ll find on the homepage – just look for this box on the righthand side on the homepage:

 

As you earn Swag Bucks throughout the day, that meter will fill up and when it’s full, you’ll have earned your bonus for the day. The bonus will always be 10% of that day’s goal. Be sure to check in everyday, as the earning goal for any given day could be higher or lower than the day before. Your total bonus amount will continue to accumulate each day, and your bonus amount will be applied at by April 5th – this special promotion runs through April 2nd. If you hit the earning goal every single day of March Swagness, your bonus amount will be doubled!

Click the Check Out Your Stats button to see how you did each day and when you were able to earn that bonus!

Keep in mind, EVERYTHING you earn counts towards March Swagness – including (but not limited to) Search, Surveys, Tasks, Swag Codes, Special Offers, Referral Bucks, Winning TTPTP, Hashtag and Comment hookups – if you earn it from us, it counts towards the day it was earned!

Get your March Swagness on starting 3/20/2012 when the goal is 50 Swag Bucks.

Happy Swagging!

Put the Yay! in Mega Swag Bucks Day

I love Fridays! It is the end of the work week, everyone is in a good mood and I am always super productive. Nobody likes working on the weekends! They are also Mega Swag Bucks Day! If you are a member of Swag Bucks they offer even higher payouts in their searches. Plus if you share the hashtag #MSBD along with any search win over 10 SB on Twitter you can get hooked up with even more Swag Bucks!

won on a mega swag bucks day!

If you are new to Swag Bucks hopefully you have read my Tips page. Here are a few reminders and more tips to get you motivated.

Make a Daily Checklist

Do the Dailies: Poll, NOSO, Toolbar, Inbox Survey. Then add your favorite ways to earn like Surveys, Search, Tasks. Games. Write down the times you want to do these. For example, my Inbox Survey arrives at the same time everyday. I know to look for it then. You could even set an alarm! Seriously don't miss your Swag Bucks!!

Set Daily and Monthly Goals

After you get used to all the ways to win at Swag Bucks, set some goals. What do you want to win every month? 5 $5 Amazon Gift Cards? 1 $100 PayPal Gift Card? Are you saving for something big? How many Swag Bucks is that? Divide it by 30 and you have your daily goal!

I have a higher goal during the week than the weekend as I like to spend very little time on the internet on my days off. Also, some days you will easily get more than your goal so don't get frustrated if you miss it one day. You can still reach your monthly goal and remember, this is supposed to be fun!


If you have another Swag Bucks tip or questions about the program share in the comments!

Happy Swagging and HAPPY FRIDAY!!

My Smartphone Pays for Itself

I love my smartphone! I don't remember how I got along without it. I play games, get directions, practice my French, look up movies, and figure out just what is that song playing in that commercial. The best part of my phone is that it helps pay for itself.  Smartphones are not cheap and it just made sense to me that it should help pay the bills. Yes! You read that right: my phone earns it keep.

How? Reward apps for your smartphone. There are several out there but these are the three I use daily and love:


Swag Bucks SBTV Mobile App (Android only, for now)

If you are not already a member of Swag Bucks join here, or visit my Swag Bucks Tips page to find out how it works. Swag Bucks is my all-time favorite rewards program because they offer so many different ways to win. The new app is just the icing on the cake.

The SBTV Mobile App plays movie trailers and tv clips on your phone. I like the Comedy channel because the clips are short. There are ads between clips and for every 5 you watch you earn 2 Swag Bucks. You can earn a maximum of 50 Swag Bucks a day. Oh, did I mention it auto-runs?! This one is a no-brainer. Join, download, win. Period!


Shopkicks (Android and iOS)

Shopkicks rewards you for visiting businesses near you. You earn kicks, or points, for walk-ins, scanning producs, and finding hidden bonuses within the app. It is a shopping app so use it to find deals, discounts or just browse the latest products at your favorite stores. I've also found some great local spots thanks to the app!

You can also win bonuses to share with your friends. Sign up with me today at Shopkicks to start with 50 kicks. I'll get 50 kicks too! Trade your kicks for prizes, gift cards (hello they have Target!), or donate to worthy causes.

It is easy to see why they have over 2.5 million users.


Checkpoints (Android and iOS)

Checkpoints is also a shopping rewards app with a bit more. You get points for checking in to places, and scanning products. You can also earn points by downloading and searching with their toolbar on your computer. Then there is my favorite part: the games! You earn coins each time you scan a product, or download and test drive apps. Then you can win more points in the games.

Trade your coins for charity, prizes, or gift cards. Get friends to sign up for more points!

If you do sign up for Checkpoints, please my bonus code 'vsweeps' to get some bonus points when you sign up and I will get some too.



I hope you try out some or all of these programs and have fun making your fancy phone pay for itself too! One more tip: follow all of these programs on Twitter and Facebook. They all have frequent contests and opportunities to win! Yes, it does pay to get social.
