How to Coupon to Disney with Swag Bucks!

How to use Swag Bucks to Coupon to Disney:

• Follow the steps below to earn with Swag Bucks
• Cash your Swag Bucks in for Amazon.com gift cards. Use these to pay for items you were planning on buying anyways. Instead of paying cash for the item, use your Amazon.com gift cards to pay and take that amount out of your budget and put it in your fund! (For example: If you were buying a book for $5, you would use your $5 Amazon.com gift card to pay and take $5 cash out of your budget and put it in your fund.)
• Save the gift cards for Christmas! (That’s what I usually do.)
• Be sure to read Getting Started “Couponing to Disney”

What is Swag Bucks?

Swag Bucks is a search engine that awards you in the form of Swag Bucks (points that can be traded in for prizes.) You can chose from a variety of prizes including gift cards. My favorite is a $5 Amazon.com gift card. It costs 450 Swag Bucks.

You get 30 Swag Bucks for joining and can win anywhere from 20 – 50 Swag Bucks a day if you search until you win in the morning and in the evening. I usually win within my first 5 searches. They also have Swag Codes out at least 5 times a week that can be worth 10 – 30 Swag Bucks. I always notify you of them on my blog when they are available.

To sign up, go here. Your account will be credited 30 Swag Bucks just for joining!

Here is how to earn more Swag Bucks:

Search

The key is to use Swag Bucks as a replacement for your current search engine. Use it frequently. One tip is to use it to visit websites. The second most popular source of traffic on my blog is via the Swag Bucks search engine because my readers are searching Couponing To Disney in the Swag Bucks search box to visit my website.

Swag Codes

Swag Codes are bonus codes that you enter in the “Enter Your Swag Code” box on Swagbucks.com’s home page. When I know that there is a Swag Code out, I post a message here on the blog as well as on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

Swag Codes can vary in value. The most I have seen is 30 Swagbucks and the least I have seen is 3. But it’s nice to earn a bonus.

Follow Swag Bucks

Be sure to read their blog, and become a fan on Facebook and Twitter. They release Swag Codes on these media outlets.

Use the Swag Bucks Toolbar

Here’s how:
Go to Swagbucks.com and look down the menu on the left side.
Click on Toolbars at the bottom of the list.

Use the Swag Bucks toolbar everyday and you will earn at least 1 bonus Swag Buck a day! Plus there are often exclusive Swag Codes released on the toolbar.

Swag Bucks just introduced surveys as a way to earn extra Swag Bucks. To find what surveys are available to you, visit Swagbucks.com and look for the Trusted Surveys option under Quick Links on the left side.

You will win 1 Swag Buck a day just for visiting the Survey page!

Mega Swag Bucks Friday

Every Friday Swag Bucks offers a higher denomination of Swag Bucks to winners. Instead of the typical 10 – 30, you might win 50, 100 or more! Just by doing the searches you would do on a normal day!

Shop through Swag Bucks

Swag Bucks offers you bonus bucks when you go through their website to do your shopping.

Just go to SwagBucks.com and click on Ways to Earn at the top. Then click on Shop and follow the instructions.

Print your coupons through Swag Bucks

You will earn 10 Swag Bucks for every coupon that you print and redeem at your local grocery store. Keep in mind that it can take 8 to 12 weeks after you use the coupon for it to show up in your Swag Bucks account.

These coupons are identical to Coupons.com. If you print them on Swag Bucks, you won’t be able to print them there.

To know which coupons you printed from Swag Bucks, put a dot on the back of the coupon. That’s what I do!

Trade In Old Electronics

Swag Bucks has a trade in program for your used electronics. Just go to SwagBucks.com and click on Ways to Earn at the top. Then click on Trade In and follow the instructions. (I do not do this. If I chose to trade in, I would go through Amazon, Walmart or Targets program that gives higher amounts in gift cards.)

Earn 50 Swag Bucks on your birthday

All you need to do is make sure that your birthday is in your account details. To get there, click on the drop down box at the very top right corner of Swag Bucks (mine says Hi, Kristin) and select Account Details. You will then see the spot to put in your birth date.

Swag Bucks for Pictures and Videos

If you send them a picture of you with your prize or a video of you unboxing your prize, you get bonus Swag Bucks. You get 10 Swag Bucks for each prize photo and 20 swag Bucks for each video. You are limited to 5 of each type. Email it to prizephoto@swagbucks.com.
(Thanks Who Said Nothing In Life Is Free???)

Refer your friends

Swag Bucks has an awesome referral program. Refer your friends to Swag Bucks and when they win by searching, you win the same amount! (That means if your friend searches and wins 20 Swag Bucks, you will get 20 Swag Bucks too! You only win from their searches and there is a limit of 1000 Swag Bucks per referral. After they reach 1000 Swag Bucks, you will no longer receive credit.) There is no limit to how many friends you can refer.

To find your referral link, go to Swagbucks.com and click on promote and then select Invite Friends and Earn.

And the best part… Cashing in for prizes!

My absolute favorite prize is the Amazon.com gift card. They offer 3 different denominations ($5, $25 and $50. $5 is the best value, followed by $50 and then $25). You can get 5 of each a month. You are limited to only requesting 2 prizes a day, so to max out on Amazon gift card it takes 7.5 days.

Here’s how it works:

On Swagbucks.com home page, click on Rewards.
Then select Swag Store.
Then click on Rewards and Gift Cards.
Look for the Amazon.com gift cards.
Select the one you want and click redeem.
You will have to verify your purchase via email.

How to redeem your Amazon.com gift cards:

When you receive your gift card codes, here is how to add them to your Amazon.com account.
Go to Amazon.com.
Click on Your Account in the top right corner.
Look for Gift Cards located in the Payment box.
Select this option: Apply a Gift Certificate/Card to Your Account.
You will see a box that says “Want to redeem a new gift card?”
Enter the code that Swag Bucks gave you for the gift card and click Redeem Now.
That gift card is now stored in your account as a balance. You can store as many gift cards as you want, it just adds them to the balance.
When you check out, it automatically applies your gift card balance to your order. (You can select for it not to).

Here’s an example of how it would work. You select a $50 gift card from Swag Bucks. You receive the gift card and follow the above instructions to add it to your Amazon.com account. You decide to purchase an item that is $30. You go through check out and it applies $30 of your gift card balance. You now have $20 left on your gift card balance. It will automatically be used to pay for your next purchase. It’s that easy!
