July 13, 2015 by Tara Kuczykowski Leave a Comment

What if I told you that you could get Swag Bucks just for doing your grocery shopping? Not just a few SB here and there — but up to 3,000 SB! What if these groceries were not only healthy for you and your family, but that you would help feed a low income family as well?

That’s the premise behind the newest membership-based shopping club, Thrive Market. And for the first time, you can get SB for joining and using Thrive Market — which of course goes right back into your own pocket as gift cards or PayPal cash!

Sign up for free at Thrive Market. Get 1,000 SB when you make your first purchase. You can also earn 2,000 SB more when you join their membership program! That’s enough SB for a $30 gift card, plus you’ll be buying the best-selling healthy foods and wholesome producs in everyday sizes, but at 25-50% LESS than retail prices! Plus, for every person who gets a membership, Thrive will give a free membership to a low-income family.

If you’re interested earning more Swag Bucks for doing something as simple as grocery shopping, join in on Swagbucks now!

Earn a $15 Movie Gift Card with Swagbucks in Just 1 Week!

May 30, 2015 by Tara Kuczykowski 1 Comment

Going to the movies is one of our favorite family rainy day activities in the summer. Whether you prefer the biggest blockbusters or the sweetest romantic comedy, Swagbucks can get you into the movies for free!

Swagbucks is a rewards site that gives you points called “Swag Bucks” for things like searching, watching videos & browsing articles. You redeem those Swag Bucks for gift cards to places like Amazon, PayPal — and yes, even to the movies. I like to save up my Swag Bucks for Amazon gift cards to help lower the cost of my monthly Subscribe & Save order, but I splurge on a Starbucks gift card occasionally!

Here’s how Swagbucks can help you can turn watching videos online into your watching movies in the theater for free: Earning 1,500 SB gets you enough for a $15 movie gift card from AMC or Regal Cinema!

Whether you’re on the go, at home, or stuck at a desk, here’s how you can get your $15 movie gift card in just 1 week:

SBTV mobile on Android & iOS: Earn up to 36 SB per day watching everything from food videos & news to Hulu clips & music videos – 252 SB
Moviecli.ps app on Android & iOS: Get 18 SB per day watching the latest movie trailers – 126 SB
EntertaiNOW app on Android & iOS (US only): You can also earn another 18 SB per day checking out news on movies and TV shows, behind-the-scenes interviews and celebrity gossip – 126 SB
SBTV on Desktop: Watch a little bit of everything, including Hulu clips & music videos, but with a higher earning cap of 150 SB per day – 1,050 SB

When you have a specific SB goal (like a $15 AMC or Regal Cinema gift card) and a plan of action, you’ll get gift cards faster and check out the newest action-comedy or Oscar-nominated drama without spending extra money. There are even more ways to earn SB online, so take a look around and see what works best for you. You don’t have to wait until the next blockbuster comes out to start saving up with Swagbucks!
