Why Buy Amazon Gift Cards?

Hello Readers,
Search & Win

I have been mentioning how I've been spending my Swagbucks to buy Amazon Gift Cards. But I realized that you may be wondering why I've chosen Amazon Gift Cards. And there is really a simple explanation. They are cheap. They are the best valued gift card in the Swag Store.

Now, there are other gift cards that are a better value. But those are what I would consider not-real gift cards. The stores might be sketchy or just useless to me. But Amazon Gift Cards have great value. The $5 Amazon Gift Cards are 450 Swagbucks. When you divide that all out, it means that each Swagbuck is more then a cent. That's pretty good considering how easy it is to make each Swagbuck.

It's also cheaper to buy through Amazon then to redeem for a prize in the store usually. So redeeming for the Amazon Gift Cards is the best way to make money through Swagbucks. That's obviously my opinion and may not be what other people think. But it's the way I've earned my money on Swagbucks.

Any other amount of Amazon Gift Card is the usual 1 Swagbuck = 1 Cent of the Gift Card. So the $5 Amazon Gift Card is the only one I'm interested in. After that I choose Paypal because I can end up transferring that money to my bank account and earning interest on it. Plus that money can go towards my Student Loans that I'm in the process of paying back. Trying to minimize the damage while I'm still in school.

I hope you found this post useful! Please leave your feedback or anything you might want to know about Swagbucks. Ask me in the comments section below! Thanks and Happy Earnings!

Creating the Swagbucks Business Model

I have been a member of Swagbucks since 2009. Since then I have accumulated over $275 in gift cards. This is while I have spent time on blogs, social media marketing, and other ventures. It's quite a bit considering the time. I have been earning at least $25 a month for the past couple months though and have turned into more of a steady stream of income for myself.

I have started to focus on getting to the daily goal each day and, in doing so, I get the bonuses associated with getting to the goal. It's usually around 70-100 Swagbucks per day. And I get there by doing the following:

  • Watching Swagbucks TV
  • Searching throughout the day
  • Doing the Daily Poll, NOSO, and logging onto the toolbar
  • Playing the Swagbucks Games
  • And completing Activities
By doing those tasks I can usually easily get to the daily goal. Sometimes I will go beyond. And for September I've maxed out the amount of $5 Amazon Gift Cards I can get (the max is 5 Gift Cards or $25 worth). And I have enough Swagbucks to get 2 more (and almost a third!). So September has been a huge month for earning on Swagbucks.

As a college student I have been getting the Amazon Gift Cards which I plan to use to get my textbooks for school. So I'm saving myself a ton of money. I also plan to start getting Paypal Gift Cards when I'm maxed out in Amazon Gift Cards and can get up to the 2,500 Swagbucks necessary to get the smalled value Paypal Gift Card at $25. That will help pad my bank accounts and possibly help me pay off some of my college loans.
