Fun fact: During the holiday season, the lowest price for toys is about 10 days before Christmas.
Funner fact: You can get a $50 head start on your toy-buying (or anything-else-buying) if you win this week’s giveaway.
The Swagbucks rewards site has offered to award one lucky reader his or her choice of a $50 e-gift card from the Rewards Store. It’s quite the lineup of cards for restaurants, electronics emporia, retaurants, entertainment and other categories (including my personal favorite, Amazon).
This giveaway is a little different: You must be a member of Swagbucks and earn at least 50 points between now and 7 p.m. PST Friday, Dec. 5. Instead of entering up to five different ways, leave one comment with your Swagbucks user name.
A boost for your holiday budget
Not yet a member? I hope you’ll join using my referral link. If that bugs you, just go to the Swagbucks site and join that way.
If 50 points sounds like a lot, let me assure you it isn’t. You’ll have two weeks to get them through channels such as Search, Shop, Play, Answer, Discover (including Special Offers and Encrave), Watch (including SBTV mobile) and Daily (Poll, NOSO, Daily Crave, et al.). I’d also suggest checking in with the Swagbucks Facebook page during the day because readers post “Swag Codes,” good for additional points, as they become available.
Just answering the daily poll from today until the end of the giveaway will get you 15 points. Do a few searches each day and/or choose from among those other possibilities and you’re in. Keep earning points and you’ll get enough to purchase gift cards on your own. (I’m using them to pay for a chunk of my holiday shopping.)
Again: Enter with your username, once only, then get going on that 50-point goal. There’s no need to leave a comment unless you really want to do so.
Thanks to Swagbucks for sponsoring. I love it when readers get gift cards.
I’m tiredmom – thanks!
Happy Holidays!!
Same back at you!

I think my user name is robin, if that is the name in the upper right hand corner. I had started this awhile back and don’t get on here half the time. It is really strange to me-nothing like mypoints. Is there a limit to the swagbucks you can earn each day? I know you can only do one coupon print. I did a couple of surveys and it didn’t add the points, so am figuring there might be a limit to that too?
Sorry, my swag name is groundy! Couldn’t even figure out for awhile where to find account.
There’s no limit — in fact, some people earn thousands of points per day, often from surveys and playing games. I don’t do either one, myself, but I generally score at least two searches per day and am always on the lookout for Swag Codes.
There’s an FAQ section on the Swagbucks home page that might help, and various tutorials online. Search for “Swagbucks 101.” In fact, use Swagbucks to search for it.
Good luck!
Thanks so much Donna! I can use all the help I can get. I even was reading your daughter’s site to get some info.
Robin: You need to add your Swagbucks username or you can’t be considered for the giveaway. Please do this.
