Swagbucks and Amazon




MegaBucks Fridays are days in which, supposedly, you can earn more SB for searches and such. It is just a day where extra SB will be more prominent than usual. I have yet gotten more SB on search on this day, but others have.

The Hourly Winner is when Swagbucks chooses you as the winner of 1000sbs for that hour, say, between 9-10. You have to claim these swagbucks within that time frame or else you do not get those points. The hourly winner changes every hour and it goes all day long, including at 2 in the morning. So you coule be chosen at any time fo the day, so checking the blog every hour, when you can, is a good idea.

Every month there is a daily goal set by Swagbucks, if you hit that daily goal, of, let's say 50 points, you get five bonus points for that day. There is a different goal every day that ranges from 40 - 150. If you hit the goal seven days straight, you get, in addition to those daily bonus points, 25 points; fourteen days gets you 100 points; 21 days gets you 200 points; and every day in the month (28, 30 or 31 days depending on the month) gets you 300 points. The in a row points and the daily points will be added to your account the following month, usually by the 5th. On average the daily point total comes to just above 200 points, so you will get a total bonus of over 500 points doing this.

Once you have your SB, here's what you can do:

Now, for every 450 SB you get, you can get one $5 Amazon Gift Card to be used any way you want. You can only get five of the same prize a month, so only 5 of the $5 AGCs. You can only get two prizes a day. But, you can get as many different prizes as you want, as long as you have the SB to get them. Most everyone here gets the 5 $5 AGC a month first before the other gift cards since the $5 AGC is the cheapest one every month. All of the gift cards are the same price (except the $5 AGC which is still 450sb). $5 = 500sb, $10 = 1000sb, $15 = 1500, $20 = 2000, $25 = 2500, $50 = 5000, $100 = 10,000 and so on. You can get as many of these prizes a month as you can get, except the $5 AGC which you are only allowed to get five of a month.

But this is a good way to get extra money for Kindle books, or anything else you'd want on Amazon. This is a virtual prize that appears on your account under My Gift Cards as a code you copy and input into Amazon to redeem the money. I've learned to keep the codes in a word document or to take a picture of the codes on SwagBucks since I share a Kindle account with my mom. After having my money disappear five times because my mom bought a book at three in the morning, I learned to only put the codes in once I knew what I was getting.

All right, there is now an Andriod App for SBTV that is available in the Amazon App Store, that you can do in addition to the SBTV on the web, for 50 SB a day. What I did was purchase it (it's free) on the computer through Amazon, then went to the app cloud on my Fire to download it. When it pressed it to download, it took me to the app page in the store on my Fire and I pressed intall and it downloaded. Easy as that. You can find it on the Fire, but it was easier to find on the website than the App Store.

However, I found the Amazon SBTV App to be not as good as the one from the Swagging 101 site (maybe that will change). Search for Swagbucks 101 on the Kindle Fire and it will show up. Look for the Kindle Fire button and it will tell you what to do to get the app. Since this is a 3rd party item, you have to allow 3rd party apps before you can download it and it would be a good idea to have some anti-virus software just in case. I use Dr. Web anitvirus which, so far, has worked pretty well. Now, sometimes the app freezes or gets stuck on a video or becomes slow. To fix this without needing to delete and redownload the app, go to the settings, go to applications, go to the SBTV app and clear the data and cache. This will reset the app to when you just downloaded it. When you go back to the app you will have to log back in, but it should work properly. If not, you may have to do this again or delete and redownload the app.

And, there is now an iPhone SBTV app! Go to iTunes to download it. It works pretty well since it auto moves onto a new video, although it does have a tendency to shut down. And I do like this one better than the Fire SBTV App. Just a note, the videos on the iPhone app are different than the ones for the Fire app. Now, this app also has frozen on me. I used to delete and redownload, but I found out that if you press the home button twice, quickly, a little popup menu appears. Find the SBTV app, press and hold it until it shakes and then press the minus button that appears. Press the home button again to get back to the main screen. Go into the app and it will be as if you just started the app. You won't have to log in again, though. I think this just clears the cache so the app does not remember where you were but keeps your login info.

Also, you can get another 26sb on your android device with EntertainNow. Instructions for loading are on the front page of swaggin101
