Welcome to the The Official Swagbucks Christmas Challenge! Many readers have already pledged to search, win and save for Christmas! Are you ready to join the challenge? If so, just leave a comment in this post with your pledge to earn Swagbucks and save for Christmas.
This year I am challenging my readers to use Swagbucks to earn "money" for Christmas. I began this journey last year when we cancelled our Christmas club and turned to Swagbucks to fund our gift giving! I was able to purchase the majority of my gifts through Amazon, Starbucks, Target, JCpenney and a few other gift cards I earned through Swagbucks! This year, my goal is to purchase 90% of our gifts through the gift cards I earn! Join me and map your progress here!
-------------------------------
Earning Swag Bucks is definitely a strategy! Here are some tips that I have found to work for me:
•Set a daily goal for yourself. I use 50 as my goal and have easily acheived this with searches and codes.
•Add the Swagbucks Toolbar. It is easy to forget to use Swagbucks and the toolbar may be what you need to remember to search though Swagbucks. You can even receive random rewards for having the toolbar!
• Complete the Special Offers, Daily Polls, and Trusted Surveys daily. You'll receive 1 Swagbuck for skipping through the No Obligation Special Offers, 1 Swagbuck for voting in the Daily Poll, and 1 Swagbuck for checking your surveys.
•Complete a Trusted Survey. I completed one last week that scored me 50 Swagbucks, however some are worth several hundred. Keep in mind, you won't qualify for them all.
•Refer your friends!!! This is the easiest way to earn. You can now connect to Facebook via Swagbucks which will help you refer your friends with no effort!
•Check the Swagbucks Blog and read this blog daily for code ALERTS!
•Type your web addresses into the search box at Swagbucks. I can't tell you how many Swag Bucks I have earned for typing in "Google" or "Money Saving Madness".
If you are not a member of Swagbucks and would like to join the Christmas Challenge, join here and earn your first 30 Swag Bucks for FREE!

i like to use the searches to earn swag bucks,
i over 1700 and just started a few weeks ago
i am saving to get gift cards to use at christmas
I recently started doing the surveys and while I don't quality for most, I did get one for 50 and another for 200. When you get the surveys they really add up fast.
Make sure to log on first thing in the morning, and get your first points for searching...you should be able to get searching points at least a couple more times through the day - and don't forget the surveys!
I am up for the challenge!! This is a great idea!! Can't wait to see the progress.
I'm so excited about this, I've only been a swagger for a few months but have already earned quite a few of the $5 Amazon.com gift cards ... and the trusted survey section is AWESOME!!
I just started using Swagbucks about a week ago, and have already earned one amazon gift card. I am saving them for christmas and my son's birthday which is 3 days after christmas.
I am IN for the challenge! I love when those cute characters pop up with different #'s you win. It never gets boring,I get excited every time! Go Swagger!!!
This is a great idea! I do the daily poll and click on the survey every day- every little bit helps!
I am ready for this challenge. I have been using Swagbucks for about 9 months now and I am winning everyday! Just got 36 bucks for searching and 50 for completing a survey today! Woohoo!

I am IN on this one - I did fantastic last year at saving a ton of money - I linked my SB account with FB so people see the bucks I earn AND the prizes I redeem - so I get a lot of people sign up under me :)Most of the time if I redeem my bucks for Starbucks gift card it really makes people stop and take notice :)
I stay logged in and try to use it for all searches! Even if I don't have anything to search that day, I do a random word search and try to win a few SB. Each day you will always win something for searching (just not every time). I don't spend hours trying...just a few seconds passing by the computer. No effort really. Will save and accumulate the $5 Amazon Cards for Christmas gifts! I have 3 now...

I use swag bucks all day long. Then right before bed I do one more search and usually get a few bucks!

Slow and steady for me. I don't get many swag bucks at one time, but they still add up. I have one referral so that gives me extra, but I would love for more of my friends to sign up! Hope it is my lucky day!

I forgot my email address on the last post so I deleted it and tried again!
Love, Love , Love Swagbucks...I am just starting out and I am earning by utilizing the searches and surveys. Everyday I win with Swagbucks. How great is that. Movin on up with my points.
Make sure all of your PROFILES are completed. You get swagbucks just for filling them out, and they provide the criteria for which surveys will be sent your way. I've earned up to 150 SB for a single survey.
Also, check your surveys first thing in the morning and again in early afternoon. That seems to be when new ones appear. :)
I took down my favorites bar and never use it to go directly to a link, I 'search' it on my swagbucks toolbar. I've been getting to my daily goal just by doing this! (can't do it for blogger though, it signs you out. blah)
My new favorite way to earn swagbucks is the trusted surveys. I have completed one worth 500 and other worth between 50 and 200. These are quick ways to earn if you qualify.
I have been using swagbucks for about 2 months and already have $40 in Amazon giftcards. The rate I am going I should have a few hundred by Christmas :)
I usually earn about 200 swag bucks per day. I do the surveys, NOSO offers, searches, and some special offers. My best advice is to watch the swagbucks facebook fan page. When others are hitting on searches, that is the time to search. People also tell you w3hich special offers credit quickly and with high rewards.
I have $125 in my Amazon account, and will have $250 by Christmas!! Yay!
Thyanks for the giveaway! I am definately doing this as my husband lost his job 10 weeks ago. I have almost enough for 10 $5 Amazon cards now!
Signed up a month ago for swagbucks through your site. I didn't do anything with it until last Friday and have actually had a lot of fun searching and earning points! Thanks for the heads up on this! I'm definitely saving up points to get my husband's Christmas present.
Every day, my husband does a search, clicks on one result on the first page, and as soon as he goes to page 2, he wins. It works every day for his first search!
I earn swagbucks through the search engine. Also randomly throughout the day, im awarded 1 swagbuck. This happens a couple of times throughout the day, and they do add up.
I use money saving madness for searches, I have won a lot of swagbucks doing that!!!
I do the searches everyday, do the special offer, daily poll and trusted surveys and use the toolbar to get 4 everyday. We are trying to use the swagbucks to help get extra cash for going to see grandma for xmas, which is a surprise, she will have all 4 granbabies at her house for xmas.
I am up for the challenge! Sounds like a good one and I'm up for it! Thanks!
I started a few months ago and have already earned (3) $5 gift cards. I use the swagbucks search engine all the time and take the daily polls.
I joined SwagBucks in mid July and am already close to getting my third $5 amazon gift card. I hope to buy the majority of our friends and families gifts by doing this. I love it!
The very best thing I've done to earn Swagbucks is to educate the rest of my family. They are excited to win 11 Swagbucks for searching their favorite online game site instead of just typing in the address.
At the end of the year we are using all of our Amazon giftcards to buy something fun for the family. Even if it's not something huge (we only started about a month ago) we earned it as a group and that makes it really special!

I recently started Swagbucks to earn towards Christmas gifts. Your strategy really does work for me. This is the best challenge that I am going to meet.
I stay logged in and use the search box for all the searches, I even tell my hubby to use the Swagbucks search and that helps alot.
I find I do best searching early in the morning, midday, and later in the evening. Also, check for surveys several times a day. You can get 50-150 SB from completing one.
I joined Swagbucks two months ago as a result of your first Christmas Challenge posting. I have $45 in Amazon gift cards now, and my goal is to have at least $100 by Christmas.

I use Swagbucks for everything. I even got my son using it when he uses the computer.
mamalovetoclip@yahoo.com
download the toolbar! it's a reminder for me to always use swagbucks for searching. i love a challenge!
rreyes62682@yahoo.com
I do any survery I am eligible for and use the swagbucks toolbar and search engine.
I am trying to earn money for Christmas gifts this year! I don't have any great tips, I just try to be consistent every day and slowly build my SBs!
I'm in for the challenge! With income reduced due to layoffs we can still have a nice Christmas for our kids
I like to answer the poll, and check the survey first thing when I get up. And I have the toolbar installed, so I do my searching from there. I am hoping for lots of swagbucks for amazon.com cards.

I'm new to Swagbucks but am enjoying the opportunity to earn points for gifts this Christmas.
Thanks for all the tips and helpful hints!
I stay logged in and use it to search the websites I normally go to. I am pretty new at this but have gotten a couple of Amazon gift cards already.
jamiehancock@hotmail.com
I'm in! I started using Swagbucks in June and already have more than 1600! I plan on saving them all for Christmas and love that it doesn't cost me a thing :)
USE THE TOOLBAR EVERYDAY AND GET YOUR WHOLE FAMILY TO USE IT WHEN THEY ARE ONLINE
I only do the searches to earn swag bucks. I pretty much search EVERYTHING - even facebook and to check my email. I have several Amazon gift cards that I plan to use for Christmas gifts this year :)
I am up to 5300 and am so addicted! I search and search while watching tv!
I am part of the challenge. I search daily using swag bucks...I need a lot more before I can think about starting Xmas shopping!
couponqueen89@yahoo.com
I love the Swag! up to 5400!! yipee
I added the toolbar a few days ago. I have been swagging for quite sometime, but now I have my whole family using the toolbar to search and it's easily moved me into the 50 points per day zone!
I'm definitely earning swagbucks for Christmas; every day I answer the daily poll. It's only 1 point, but that's something.
I just started in mid July and have already earned enough for $20 in Amazon cards! I have qualified for several surveys and that has boosted my points. I do the daily poll for a point a day as well.

I cannot use swag serches at work, but I search when I first get up in the morning and when I get home. I just started in July and I am working on my 4th Amazon gift card. Plus you get 50 swag bucks for your birthday. For me that is next week!

I search for every website I want to visit. My goal is 25 a day I just had a baby so I'm hoping to get some great deals on toys for christmas for her
I stated Swagbucks on June 20th of this year. I have now received $55 in Amazon Gift Cards. I am hoping to do all of my Christmas Shopping for my daughter on there. She is about to be two so it should not be to hard. I have learned to go to Swagbucks/Facebook for a lot of tips. I use the discussion to see which Offers to complete. I also have entered my referral link on facebook and now have 5 active referrals. A big chunk also comes from Surveys when I qualify.
i have $50 saved on amazon so far!
I rely solely on searches. I love getting the Amazon gift cards! It makes Christmas a little easier
I check the surveys several times a day . I have been doing swagbucks for about 4 months and have gotton over $50.oo for amazon already!
I am in! I just started using Swagbucks in the past few months. I recommend making sure that they have your b-day because you get 50 free swagbucks that day. I love that earning money is free.

I've been able to earn enough swagbucks to get a $5 amazon gift card about every two weeks with searches, surveys and the daily "gimmes" like polls, special offers, etc.
Just started a few weeks ago and already have four Amazon gift cards for Christmas shopping!
My tip is obvious - use it to search for EVERYTHING. I have the toolbar on all of our computers, and I use it everytime I use the internet for anything.
I have definitely started my Christmas budget with my swagbucks!
Just started swagbucks recently.I always type the website that I am going .I have won a lot this way.I search and use this instead of google.Yes I am in for the challenge :)

I get for searching for stuff that I normally would have a quick link for. Real Easy!
Blazingbeaver2@aol.com
I'm excited to join this challenge. I hope to earn enough swagbucks to really punch up our xmas! I just started using the surveys and am so excited to see my bucks jump after I get to complete one! That has been a BIG boost to my bucks!
I love swagbucks! I get most of my points through searching, but I gotta say finally getting a referal REALLY helps!!!
I just started doing Swagbucks this year and have already earned $70 in amazon giftcards just be doing searches & surveys.
I am most certainly up for the challenge. My husband lost his job two weeks ago.Swagbucks will help towards Christmas.
I'm up for the challege. I'm saving my amazon gift cards to purchase my daughter an Ipod for Christmas. I couldn't afford it last year but now since I joined swagbucks in March. I've got well over half of the price saved up and hopefully by christmas I'll have it all. I love the surveys It really helps getting amazon gift cards faster.
This is my first year using Swagbucks i am trying to earn at least 50% i have already started my shopping diruing sales and clearances on now with a few giftcards i have gotten.
To earn SB daily i do the daily 4 (the toolbar, the daily poll, the special offers, and the surveys to get 1 SB each) I downloaded the too bar and search every day even when i am going to a regualy visited site i type it in the toolbar and get a search for it i have earned many SB this way.
I also have gotten many family members to join to i am earning SB from them
and i also recently filled out all my profile that was 100+ SB right there!
I would like to participate in this challenge... anything to make the holidays cost less, works for me!!

Surveys are where I earn MOST of my swagbucks! Thanks to YOU though, I found swagbucks to begin!!! I haven't ever done the swagbucks widget codes - so that is what I'll start doing today!!
I just started with swagbucks two weeks ago and have almost enough points for 2 - $5.00 Amazon gift cards. I am liking this.
I make sure to search morning, afternoon, and night and usually win each time. I also do the daily poll, check for surveys. I haven't qualified for too many yet though.
I also check the facebook page and see what eveyone else is doing to win points. You can find out about the codes and other special offers on there that are good deals.

I started in January and have 8 amazon gift cards - just through searches and the daily poll. I was earning more before they changed the denominations, but it will still significantly reduce my christmas spending
I do the polls,search, and surveys.
I alway use the swagbuck toolbar..and I set a daily goal for myself...works everytime.
This is such an easy way to earn money!!! I am def. saving mine for Xmas time. I love to do the surveys, if you qualify they add up fast.
avalanche_81611@yahoo.com
I'm going to start small and set my goal at 25 a day. 50 just seems like too many for me... maybe it will get better once the kids are back in school! I have almost 200 now though!
I love getting them by using the surverys they really add up then
oh and email is logston07@hotmail.com
I keep an eye on my swagbucks toolbar--i love it when i notice the envelope has that little yellow (look at me) speck in the corner. lol :) It's great when there is a high amount of swags hidden there and in the blog--I so love my swagbucks!!! :)

I use the swagbucks toolbar daily. I just started the surveys. One thing I do that is fun is while I am watching TV at night. During the commercials, I search random products or companies that are being advertised...I get at least 25 bucks a night!
jodidawson at hotmail dot com
I used swagbucks to sweeten a few awesome amazon deals last Christmas! I'm totally on board to try and earn big for Christmas!
brittanywhit@gmail.com
My suggestion is to search for items, even if you already know what the URL is.
Start early in the morning, so you don't forget as the day wears on.
runningmatey at hotmail dot com
I won 11 swagbucks for searching moneysavingmadness... wow..
I am new and have started earning swagbucks.
just4myhome at rocketmail dot com
I try hard to use Swagbucks....I am having a hard time getting them to add up is the only problem! I would love to score some giftcards for Christmas! I am not sure how to do the surveys??
I am obsessed with searching and with Swagbucks it is a profitable obsession.
I like to refer friends to rack up swagucks
I go to all of my "regular" sites through the swagbucks toolbar...I get at least 30 every day without really doing anything!
I have earned about $30 in gift cards so far with Swagbucks. I have the toolbar and I complete the Special Offers and Daily Polls mosty days!
I'd like to earn at least $100 in gift cards by the end of November for Crhistmas shopping.
i use the search bar for everything - amazon,google,etc. I have also gotten a couple friends to sign up and those points really add up fast.
rosenquist dot trish at gmail dot com
My best tip for earning swagbucks is to gather the swagcodes whenever they go up and for doing some of the easier surveys. Really adds up!
dreamzz12{at]aol{Dot]com
I always use the swagbucks toolbar to do my searches.
kwellnitz@litewire.net
I think it's been said here before, but longer Swagbucks searches seem to yield higher rewards in my experience. I'll have to try some of those surveys out. I keep forgetting about those.
ramona (dot) cc (at) hotmail (dot) com
I am new to swagbucks but I am loving it. I am saving for Christmas and hoping to get enough to use. I search several times a day to win several times a day. I didn't know about the surveys. I am glad you told me so I can get more Swagbucks.
avon2003@columbus.rr.com
Yes I am ready for the challenge.I win everyday.I search once in the morning and once in the afternoon and one in the night.I win almost every time though not very big ..
just4myhome at rocketmail dot com
I LOVE swagbucks and can't wait to spend all my Amazon gift cards on gifts for Christmas time! Swagbucks is the best!!
I set a goal of 35 bucks a day. I usally average about that. Swagbucks is definetly my favorite!! I love the idea to save them for X-mas. Thanks for the idea!
Searches definitely give me the most swagbucks.
jamiehancock@hotmail.com
I'm new to this but am hoping to get things started.
i search through the swagbucks box for everything. i find that thats the best for me.
Ever since joining swagbucks when you told me about it, about 3 months ago, I have already earned $30 in amazon gift certificates. This will help so much when Christmas comes around, especially since I have 4 more months to go!! THanks for telling me about this opportunity.
Xbrittneyx@hotmail.com
I search all the time and try to do as many surveys and polls available.
debbieoleisky@gfs.org
I have really just learned about Swagbucks but I'm already hooked. I just traded in my old cell phones for 425 points!! I typically would've just tossed them or put them in the recycle bin at my cell phone dealer!! Great way to start out with Swagbucks AND they paid the shipping to send them the phone!
I would love to be a aprt of this challenge! Just got started on swagbucks.
