Is there a time frame on how long those paypal cards are good for or can u just deposit them into your paypal acct. ?
I have enough for 2 Amazon giftcards now or hang on for a few days & snag a paypal. Lord knows I could use some extra $ to pay the light bill.
Then again the Amazon giftcard is a better deal right ? I guess it depends on what your need is.

Oh forgot to say there's a code posted on Swagbucks blog worth 5.
And for those of you who don't understand what we mean by paypal cards Swagbucks is having a sale on them.

It says you have to claim then and trasfer them to you account in a certain time frame or they are no good.

A little helpful info. If you get points on the partner Swag sites...like KISS or New Orleans Saints or something...you can use though to enter regular swagstakes but only AFTER you use up ALL of your regular swagbucks. So if you find a code for one of the partner sites and get points you can use them for free entries into the swagstakes!!
It is kind of a pain having them though because it makes you think you have more regular swagbucks than you have when you look at your total number on your home page too. But if you go to your ledger under you My Swagbucks under your points you can see the breakdown of points. HTH someone and you get some extra points by winning the swagstakes!!

If you plug in the codes for the partner sites you can ONLY redeem them on the partner sites. But you can use them on swagstakes...but only AFTER you use up all of your regular swagbucks. Does that makes sense?
EX: I had 11 Swagbucks on the New Orleans Saints swag site. I think I got search points when I did not realize I was on that site. It sat in my ledger but I could not use it to redeem that 11 points on my $50 AGC! WAH! So I had to get 5911 in order to get the $50 AGC. Then I burned through those 11 on swagstakes...which I did not win but at least they were not there teasing me! LOL! But I think I am going to try to get them from now on though so I can enter more swagstakes! You can't win if you don't enter! LOL!

K, I got it. I actually didn't look @ my ledger until your post which is when I saw that there was different colums. I realized I had redeemed the codes on a different site just not what that meant.
I'll have to keep a postit note on my desk top to remind me to redeem the different swgbucks after I've cleared the account of regular swagbucks.

Ok so I gave Swagbucks another chance. I was able to get 2 $5 Amazon cards! It does take up a ton of time so I don't think I could get them this quickly all the time. I really have no one to refer, but I think you could get a lot of swagbucks that way. Oh well, at least I made $10. I was able to do 2 survey things which gave me about 100 each time. Of course I went through about 14 before I was able to finish 2. I'll keep doing swagbucks, I just can't use as much time as I have been.
I tried searching a lot on Mega Friday or whatever its called and honestly I was able to get a lot more today (Saturday). I was able to figure out that code for 20 a few days ago too.
Well I made $10, right? At least that's $10 more than I had before!

Congrats on the $10!! On Mega Friday once I get my first search of the day I kind of give up until LATE evening because I have found it so hard to get multiple searches on that day.
Getting 200 points from surveys is awesome!  Keep up the good work! You are doing great!

For the most part I stopped using my favorites tab and just use swagbucks to get to those sites. To get on to HT right now I used swagbucks and got 9sb which is like the 3rd time in the past 4 mos.
Right now I have the swagtv page minimized to the right of my desk top playing a short vid.
Or I read my kindle while it plays ... or knit, or iron, or do dishes.

Nicole, congrats on the 2 agc AND on actually getting 200 points from surveys. I haven't been accepted for a survey yet. I have pretty much just been doing the easy points, videos, searches and swag codes, and occasionally SBTV is I'm already on the computer. I might not get as many sb as if I spent all day trying surveys and tasks, but I have a life, ya know? Still, free $$ is always a good thing, and worth putting a little time in each day while I'm already on the computer for something else. 
I got the whole set of commemorative bucks! Sweet.  Glad you got yours, too, Pam and Pelenaka - woohoo! I really liked the pictures they used for them. BTW, speaking of pictures, there is a guy I see around town that looks like a Swag Guy clone - seriously, I kid you not, he has the same glasses, looks like him and even dresses like him. I do a double take now every time I see him.
I cashed my sb for all 5 July agc already, so I can work on saving up for a $50 card all this month. By mid-month, I'll be ready for a shopping spree when my cards all post.
How do you find out who your referrals are? I have 3, but the names don't match up with HT names and I don't know who to thank for the referral points.

I don't think that you can unless the name that is posted when you get referral swagbucks matches one listed on your referrals section. But then again you can have any name you want online.
I tried clicking on a few of my referrals request as a friend icon but got no reply. If they did then I could mentor & point them to our HT thread.
Congradulations on everyone's gift cards.
BTW there's a code in the blog worth 10 swags. Add in 12 I got for searching firework displays in Buffalo, 1 for daily poll, 1 for clicking survey, 2 for NOSO =26 just while I drank my morning coffee.
Really seems like such little effort I put forth for the $100 in amazon credit I've earned.

question: I play the free games many times a day and I have never gotten any swagbucks for playing them. Do you have to play the tourneys are the paid games to get the bucks?

No, u don't. Try clearing your cookies.
I rarely max out on the games since it is so random, I'd rather spend my time doing swagtv which I'm doing right now.

One more question, I got my first amazon $5 card yesterday. Did the verify account email thing and I don't know where to get my card. I checked under my account my gift cards and it says nothing is there. Under "my swagbucks ledger" it says I redeemed 450 bucks but where is my $5 card.

It takes several days after you redeem for the agc to show up.
My DH doesn't want me to do the swagtv videos any more. They were using up A LOT of our monthly internet allotment. Last month we got an email from our internet provider for the first time ever saying we had reached 100% of what's allowed on our plan.
I'm still doing games, polls, NOSO, any surveys that come my way and searches.
I don't use the same name there that I do here and I can't remember who I signed up under.

Are you going "back to games" in between each game? I play a game...watching the commercial ALL the way through...then 'go back games' and then start another round of the game. Only the free games. You should get 2 points for every 2 games up to 10 points.
