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!

Getting Five $5 Amazon Gift Cards per Month

That is my goal at the moment. I'm trying to be able to get the maximum amount of $5 Amazon Gift Cards per month which is five. I'm doing this in order to buy textbooks on Amazon "for free". By getting all of the money through Swagbucks instead of through my bank account. When I am going over my personal finance, I don't include the income that I make online. So therefore the amount of money I have when I need to buy textbooks (or other essentials) on Amazon that I've gotten through Swagbucks is a way to save myself money.

I have successfully completed this goal for September. And the best part about it is that I already have more then enough Swagbucks to buy 5 Amazon Gift Cards in October. It's awesome to have that much already! I'm hoping to be able to get my next 2,250 swagbucks as soon as possible during the month. My plan for the excess Swagbucks is to try to save up for a $25 Paypal Gift Card with costs 2,500 swagbucks. So I will use any extra Swagbucks per month to go towards getting that.

The Paypal gift cards allow me to get money to put into my bank account which would add to the money I actually count in my personal finance. It's what I consider real money and it can be used anywhere, not just Amazon. Which means that it could go towards the student loans that I need to pay off.

The more I make on Swagbucks, the easier and faster I will find myself in a financially free situation.
