Swagbucks Prize Database

2009-05-08T18:37:16Z

I’m a huge Swagbucks fan. But one of the things I don’t really like about Swagbucks is the huge variation in value of prizes in the Swagstore compared to other prizes and what they are really worth. For example, a $5 Amazon gift card is 45 Swagbucks, but a $10 Barns and Noble [...]

Paid Surveys – 6 Months Later…

2008-09-19T17:50:49Z

I started doing paid surveys about 6 months ago when I needed to earn a few extra bucks to help pay the bills. I’ve learned a lot in that time and thought I would give a quick update on what I’ve learned and how much I’ve earned from the various companies. What I’ve learned NEVER EVER PAY [...]

Books cost between $25 and $50 initially, but tend to [...]
