For everyone who is new to Freebies2Deals, all of you absolutely need to sign up for Swagbucks. Instead of using Google to search, use their search engine and you will randomly get rewarded points (called Swagbucks). You can collect these Swagbucks and redeem them for free things like Amazon Gift Cards. And yes, this is totally legit!! Myself and other Freebies2Deals readers have earned tons of Free Gift Cards!
I even know people who work all year long to earn enough free Amazon Gift Cards to pay for Christmas. So, while you don’t have time to do that for this year, you will definitely want to get signed up for Swagbucks now and start working on it for next year! Can you imagine not having to pay a dime for Christmas? Now that would be cool!
Right now, Swagbucks is offering a Bonus 100 Swagbucks for new members when they sign up. Just use code HOLIDAYSWAG. The 100 added to the regular 30 everyone gets will give you 130 Swagbucks to start out with.
People always ask me how to earn points other than searching. You can do a number of things like taking free surveys, or referring your friends to start using Swagbucks too. For those who have been doing Swagbucks for a while, and have earned a lot of points, what do you do to earn the most?? I’m sure newbies would love to hear your ideas!
**If you want more details on Swagbucks, you can read my previous post on it here.

I used almost $300 in Amazon Gift Cards I got from Swagbucks over the year to pay for a lot of Christmas presents. It really helped.

I downloaded the toolbar like Melea said and that helps tons. I also check the messages (icon in the toolbar) daily to see what little opportunities are available. Watching a 20 second commercial and confirming the sponsor could score you super quick bucks! I also print my coupons from their site and get bucks after they’re redeemed at the store. Good luck! Everyone should be doing it!

I’ve printed and used coupons from Swagbucks for the past year and have not received any points for using them. Anyone else have the same problem? I would love to know how else to earn points, especially from those that earn $100s in gift cards each year. I used Swagbucks for over a year and only earned enough to get a total of $25 in amazon gift cards. I search every day and answer the poll every day. Also used to sign in to surveys daily and get a swagbuck. Most of the surveys I attempt disqualify me after 10-15 minutes and I only get one swagbuck. The surveys just aren’t worth my time. I know some people receive 1000 points or more each month, please share how you do it. Thanks!

I lways get my credit for coupons. Check your ledger.

Where do you enter the HOLIDAYSWAG code? I only saw one box that might have been it (“swag code” or something like that?), but I entered the code there and didn’t get 100 swagbucks. Not sure what I’m doing wrong!
Andrea
I tryed to sign up for swagbucks but where it has you fill in the letters it keeps saying the picture doesnt match,i tryed it like 30 times,does anyone know what im doing wrong?
Emily
Some of them are really tricky. I listen to them sometimes and look at them to see if they’re right.
Tyana
Andrea~ It’s because of the security code… it’s case sensitive.
Andrea
Tyana, I tryed it all way’s, upper, lower, half and half,but the numbers are one up and then the middle is down and then the last one is up again,and you can’t do that on the computer,you can’t make the numbers do that,so i don’tknow what to do,any suggestions?
Emily
Does anyone know how many gift certificates can be redeemed on Amazon at one time? It’s cheapest to buy the $5 gift cards on swagbucks instead of buying ones in bigger demoninations, but I might buy something expensive and I don’t know if it will only take 2 or 3 codes on one purchase. Does anyone know?

I basically just earn til I get the 5$ amazon card because I do subscribe and save for diapers and wipes so I always have a need for them!
Melissa Walton
I signed up at the end of September and already have earned a $25 Fandango gift card, a really nice pair of headphones I gave my son for Christmas, and I’m really close to another $25 gift card. And I’ve never spent a penny. I mostly do the surveys to earn points but have had some luck with the searching too.
Kimberly Garner
I just signed up for Swagbucks and entered the code HOLIDAYSWAG, but it says it is not a valid promotion code– not sure what to do!
Marisa
I am not really sure how all of this works but I just signed up and got a total of 157 swag bucks. I think that is good. Excited to see what happens!

Just copy and paste directly from the post. It works.
Jennifer Wild
I don’t know how to get the 100 extra points. I signed up but only got 30 points??? I also tried putting in holidayswag in caps and still not getting the 100 pts…any suggestions??
Elizabeth P
Pretty sure you have to put the code in when you are signing up, not after you’ve accepted the terms and moved past page 2 of the sign up pages. I missed it, too. =(
Andrea
I can not get the stupid letters you have to type in to work,it keeps saying does not match,but there is no other way i can type it in,i do it in cap letters and it still says that,i can’t make the letters go up and down like in the picture,any suggestions??
Adrianne
Emily, there is no limit to how many amazon.com gift cards you can use on a purchase. Each gift card you apply to your account just adds to you total gift card balance. Swagbucks does have a limit on gift cards that you can redeem ( 2 per day, 5 like per month).
Tracy
Thanks for all of your comments I just signed up and already have 166 points. I am the only paycheck in my family of 6 and why not get points for printing coupons that I use. Thank You and Happy Holidays

re: Emily–You can use unlimited gift card codes on Amazon. When you get the gift card codes, you enter them into your Amazon account & they just keep a running tally of your total for you to use when you’re ready to purchase something.
The only limit is with the Swagbucks site: you can only order 2 $5 gift cards per day & there’s a limit of 5 per month. Then it takes up to 2 weeks for them to post to your account. So just plan ahead if you’re trying to earn a certain amount by a set date. Sometimes it makes sense to purchase the $25 gift card even though it’s not as good a deal.
