Proof (New Year’s Edition)

Hi All…

We haven’t put up a Proof post in a while.  When the gift card limit came into effect at the beginning of November we had to reassess how we were going to continue with our gift cards.  We’re still figuring out what works best for us.  At any rate, we thought it would be a good time to update everyone on how we’re doing, seeing as it was almost exactly one year ago that we discovered and signed up for Swag Bucks.  Our hope was to win enough Swag Bucks to get a $5 Amazon.com gift card (they didn’t have .ca cards yet) each month.  At the end of the year we would have earned $60!  Well after our first month we did in fact earn enough Swag Bucks for one Amazon.com gift card, but with a little effort our Swag Bucks winnings have surprised even us.

So… here is our latest Proof post to show everyone how Swag Bucks is working for us.  We had made this a regular feature, posting updates in the middle and end of each month.  Lately however, we’ve noticed that our History area in our My Swag Bucks section of our account is only showing the latest dozen or so redeemed prizes.  Therefore we’ve made a screen capture of our Order Status page, so you can see everything we’ve ever redeemed.  The image is a bit bigger so please be patient.

For those of you who are on the fence about Swag Bucks, this is for you.

We know we talk a lot about how rewarding, easy and fun Swag Bucks is but the proof is in the pudding.

Here is a screenshot of our account as of today, January 5, 2010 (One year after signing up for Swag Bucks), showing how many Swag Bucks we have and how many we have traded in for our gift certificates (click image for full size).   Again, be patient, these images are getting absolutely enormous!

If you click on the image above for a full sized version you can see that since we started in January 2009, we have redeemed enough Swag Bucks to receive 193 $5 Amazon Gift Cards, 2 $25 Amazon Gift Cards, and 4 $50 Amazon Gift Cards and we currently have almost enough points for another $50 card.  Before you get your calculators out, that’s $1215  worth of free books (or whatever else you fancy at Amazon.com) not including the $50 card we’re near to getting.  The Swagstakes entries were bought with our miscellaneous Swag Bucks from other search and win sites.

$1215 in Amazon gift cards!!!

If this isn’t enough to get you clambering for a Swagbucks.com account maybe you’ll be persuaded by the following facts:

• We achieved this doing what we would have done anyway.  Namely searching and social interacting.
• We have not received one piece of junk mail due to joining Swagbucks.com
• We love Swag Bucks so dang much that we made this whole blog just to shout it from the rooftops and to help others increase their rewards, find Swag Codes and just plain share the love.

So if you’d like to start earning real world prizes and gift certificates by doing exactly what you currently do every day sign up with our super special love-filled link
