Swagbucks is a site that I have dabbled with off and on for the last couple of years. I have earned enough points to receive a few gift cards. I was on the other day in a few minutes of down time and they are having a promotion, if you earn a certain number of swagbucks in one day they give you a daily bonus. After a certain number of days of reaching that goal, you get another bonus.
i am hoping to earn enough points in the next two weeks for a $20 paypal cashout.
anyone else taking advantage of this?

I myself am a very active member with Swagbucks, and I can say it is a legit site that does pay. However I would suggest don't get the $20 paypal cashout, get amazon giftcards instead as those are cheaper pointwise. You get more "bang for the point" if you get amazon giftcards versus the $20 paypal cashout.

I don't use the site enough. I think now they have something to do with a bonus when getting referrals, part of their "summer fun" or whatever they call it. I usually do a search, do the poll and watch any videos available and then I get off of the site. I've earned prizes there before, usually I go for amazon or paypal.

They are matching all points referrals earn from searching, special offers, SBTV, surveys, polls, NOSO, and a few other things today only for the Summer Social. Normally they just give you matching rewards when referrals get search wins. It's not on all referrals, though... just the ones you've recruited between 6/20 and midnight tonight.

Thanks for the clarification Frugal!!! Just like Cowgirl, I do the daily polls, search and get off. Nothing time consuming there. When I get close to payout I will do the nosos or watch some videos though. This is a great site to earn since its not complicated and many ways to earn. Its a no brainer. Been paid several times before. Loved when they had a sale and payouts were five dollars.

I've heard of Swagbucks but have not joined as of yet. Thank you for your post and experience, though.
I'm a member of several earning sites and am always looking for others to either add on to what I'm already working or to replace ones that are just not delivering.
I'm finding that to be the case here lately. Some of the sites that I signed up with recently are beginning to let me down a bit so I'm seriously thinking of letting some go and joining others.
I'll keep this site in mind for the future.
Thanks again.

I love Swagbucks, but unfortunately I haven't been able to work it the past few weeks. Too busy unpacking from our move and such!! I've just been concentrating on myLot these days . . . but I know once I have more time I'll probably shift back to going on Swagbucks again. I'm aware of that promotion (it's been going on for a while now), but I haven't had enough time to reach the daily bonus. I love it there because you can actually earn those swagbucks rather quickly if you can be there . . . so I hope to go back soon!

I have been with swagbucks over a year and love the site but for the present, I can not do much because I am on vacation. I have my iPad with me but it does not always work as well as I would like.
I have found that some swagbucks promotions do not always work well for me. March Madness was a disaster for me. I can not speak about the latest promotion because I do not have much time for swagbucks while traveling. This is true of all my other sites including mylot
However, I will be home next week and hope to be spending more time on my sites. I am enjoying my vacation but missing swagging and mylotting among other things.

I also use swagbucks and i've seen the promotion but for me it's too hard to reach the goals. I use swagbucks as my search engine and every time I need to go to a website or look things up I use the search engine tool. I get a few swagbucks a day but I don't spend all my time on it and I don't get enough to come close to the goals. So far I have a few thousand swagbucks saved up and I'll eventually use them to cash out for a paypal gift card.

I have been extremely lucky with the surveys in the past few weeks. I have been qualifying for over half of them that I try, and that gives me my points pretty quickly each day.
I tend to save up my swagbucks as well, I was looking at the $5 amazon gift cards. If I can get the actual gift cards and not just promo codes, then I may cash out to use as rewards for my students.
