Friday is MEGA Swag Bucks Day!! On Fridays, we have a better chance of winning higher value Swag Bucks – anywhere from 20 to 100 to over 5,000 Swag Bucks! (Typically, on average,you will earn 10 Swag Bucks from one search.) So, on Fridays, do some extra searching! You may win BIG!! **Let me know if you win BIG!!** Also – don’t forget it takes 450 Swag Bucks to put towards a $5.00 Amazon Gift card!!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Do you cash in your swag bucks every time you get 450 or do you let them build? Can you “stack” the Amazon gift cards?
Thank you
Hi Randy – I do cash my Swag Bucks every time I have 450. Reason being, amazon gift card codes are only released 2x a month (once mid month and one at the end of the month). So, I cash out as soon as I get the 450 so that I don’t have to wait more than 2 weeks for the gift card code. Once you get the Amazon gift card code, you go to your amazon account (create one if you don’t have it) and you can paste the code there. You can stack as many gift cards as you want. And, once you post the codes in Amazon, your gift card balance can grow and grow until you are ready to redeem them. That’s how I got the free Wii.
Thank you…… That clears it right up for me…..
do you have to create the amazon acct before you cash out your swag bucks?
Susan – Once you earn your first $5 Amazon Gift Card and you redeem your Swag Bucks towards the card, Swag Bucks will email you once they have given you the code for Amazon. Once you have that code, you will need to create an Amazon account. That way you can paste your Amazon code into your Amazon account. Your Amazon account will then show that you have $5.00 to use 🙂
Do you have to be on facebook?
Hi Michelle! To sign up for Swag Bucks, you definitely do not have to be on Facebook. Sometimes there are free codes that you can only access on facebook, but for the main part of Swag Bucks is using it as a search engine and that is entirely separate from Facebook. Let me know if you have any more questions!
thank you for this post! I was wondering if I should continue to let my bucks build up in my swagbucks account, or go ahead and transfer them to my amazon account. I really like seeing lots of swagbucks when i sign in, but i think i would like seeing the amazon cash add up better 🙂
Hi Dawn! I like to cash out as soon as I have enough for a gift card although I know what you mean! 🙂 Swag Bucks gives out your Amazon Gift Card codes only twice a month (mid month and the end of month). So, I like to cash out to insure that I receive the gift cards sooner than later. Once you get your gift card codes, paste them in your amazon.com account and you can let the credit sit there until you decide to buy something 🙂
