Guide to Amazon Gift Cards

Guide To Amazon Gift Cards

Amazon Gift Cards are one of the most snagged items in the swagstore. A ton of swaggernauts buy these gift cards because Amazon gives you endless possiblities of things to buy. Also for bigger things, using the Amazon gift cards you get from the Swagstore then buying the item off Amazon costs you at lot less swagbucks.

Amazon Gift Cards can be found here: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-checkout&id=2988&catid=17

They are 45 swagbucks and when you snag them you'll get them on the 16th or 1st of the month. You can find them by going to my account and then My Gift Cards. I have gotten 2 Amazon cards which totals $10. I'm more then halfway to my third.

In my product reviews I will put in it whether it's cheaper to get it through Amazon gift cards or in the swagstore. So far all have been cheaper to get through the gift cards.

8 GB iPod Touch Review

Item Name: 8 GB iPod Touch


Price: 3000 Swagbucks



Swagbucks Information: Unless you've been hiding under a PC, you know that the iPod touch is the best thing to happen to iPods since the original product launch in 2001. As if the revolutionary multi-touch interface; 3.5-inch widescreen color display; Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g); Safari browser; and seamless integration with YouTube and iTunes weren't enough, you can get this baby etched with the image of your favorite artists laser-engraved onto the casing.

Review: I have this iPod Touch(8 GB). I personally think the iPod Touch is the best iPod you can get. The endless amount of apps that you can get for it is awesome. This iPod isn't only a music player. The really amazing thing is how many FREE apps there are. I have like 3 pages filled with apps and have only bought like 5 of them. The iPod Touch's games are awesome and their lite versions is a nice feature. The lite versions allow you to get like demos for the games. This comes in handy so you don't buy a really bad game. If you have a facebook and myspace they have apps for those too. Personally I think the iPod Touch is a must-have. 8GB is actually a lot of space, unless you have over 1000 songs. I have about 700 songs and plenty of room for apps and anything else I might want.

Amazon or Swagbucks: Is it better to get it from the swagstore or use the gift cards from the swagstore and get it off Amazon? The Answer: Amazon by 1290 swagbucks. The price off of the Swagstore is 3000 swagbucks. The price of the newest model(3rd generation) on Amazon is $190. That means you need 38 $5 amazon gift cards. 45 swagbucks for each card. So 45x38= 1710 swagbucks. This means you save 1290 swagbucks by buying it from Amazon.

Rating: Haven't started using this system yet, it will be up soon.

PS3 160 GB Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Bundle Review

Item Name: PS3 160 GB Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Bundle

Price: 7150

Swagbucks Information:
Snag this prize and you'll recieve:
*Playstation 3 Console
*160 GB Hard Drive
*Internet-ready built-in Wi-Fi
*2 USB ports
*Dualshock 3 wireless controller
*Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Game
*Voucher for downloadable PAIN game
*Free PlayStation Network membership

Review: I have a PlayStation 3 and I think it is a great system. It has great games like Killzone. I heard that Halo is coming to the PS3 too. Bill Gates gave the rights or something. But I think the online gameplay is awesome. It is a cool system and probably less expensive then the Xbox 360 overall. You won't have to pay for online.
Uncharted: Drake Fortune is a great game, I heard. I don't actually have the game though.

Amazon or Swagbucks: Is it better to buy it off the swagstore or off Amazon? The Answer: Amazon by 3375 swagbucks. The price of it at the swagstore is 7150 swagbucks. On Amazon it is $350. You need 70 $5 Amazon gift cards. Each Amazon card is 45 swagbucks and you need 75 of them. 75x45= 3375 swagbucks. This means you save 3775 swagbucks by buying it off of Amazon with the gift cards.

Rating: Haven't started this yet but it should be coming soon.

Xbox 360 Elite - Game Of The Year Bundle Review

Item Name:  Xbox 360 Elite - Game Of The Year Bundle

Price: 7380 Swagbucks




Swagbucks Information: Get the best games of the year straight out of the box with the Xbox 360 Elite Game of the Year Bundle.

Snag this prize and you'll receive:
* Xbox 360 Elite Black Console
* Halo 3
* Fable II
* 120GB Hard Drive
* Black Wireless Controller
* Black Wired Headset
* HDTV-ready component HD AV cable
* HDMI cable
* Ethernet cable

Review: Xbox 360 is the best-selling of this generation's consoles, but it may not actually be better then the PS3. Halo is definantly a series that keeps people buying Xbox's rather then Playstation's. But with PS3's going down in price to be equal with 360's, I think they might lose some sales. Overall they are probably going to be more expensive then PS3's because you have to buy the internet. I personally think I'd rather get a PS3 but i'm biased because I have a PS3.
Halo 3 is a great game with a ton of people online all the time. It is defiantly worth the buy and getting it in the bundle is pretty awesome. Halo 3's story isn't too excellent but their online games make up for it.
Fable II is a great game, i've heard. But I have never actually played so i'm sorry I can't review it.
I'd say this bundle is awesome but you also might want to look at the PS3 bundle.

Swagbucks or Amazon: Is it better to get it with Amazon cards, then buy it directly from the Swagstore? The Answer: Amazon by 4410 swagbucks. The price off the swagstore is 7380 swagbucks. You can get the system for about $270 on amazon, then you get Halo 3 for $30, and Fable II for $30. This comes to a total of $330. To get $330 on amazon you'll need to get 66 $5 amazon cards. Each amazon card is 45 swagbucks so 45x66 is 2970 swagbucks. So the price of it using amazon is 2970 swagbucks. That means you save 4410 swagbucks.

Rating: Haven't started this system yet, but it will be up and running pretty soon.

Wii System w/ Wii Sports & Wii Fit Review

Item Name: Wii System w/ Wii Sports & Wii Fit

Price: 7495 Swagbucks



Swagbucks Information: Get the best of Nintendo Wii all in 1 Bundle!
Snag this prize and you'll receive:
* Nintendo Wii Console
* Wii Console Stand
* Wii Remote (with batteries)
* Wii Nunchuck Controller
* Wii Sensor Bar
* Wii AC Adapter
* Wii AV cable
* Wii Five Sports Disc (Baseball, Bowling, Tennis, Boxing and Golf)
* Wii Fit Fitness Made Fun Game
* Wii Fit Balance Board
* HD Ready with HD Pro Component Cable for W

Review: The Wii seems like the worst system of this generation's consoles. The games for it are alright but none of them seem amazing. This system seems more of a family orientated system. The shooter games for it are below average. The only reason people bought the Wii was because it was interactive but now Xbox 360 and PS3 are coming out with their own better versions of the interactive play. Personally I think the Wii is a waste of money and I traded in mine to help me get a PS3.
Wii Sports is nothing to write home about. It's fun to play when you have no other games, but all of the other games for the Wii are a lot better.
Wii Fit is probably the best part of the bundle. If you think you need to get fit and want a game to help you do it this is a good game for that. I think it's pretty good but not worthing getting a Wii for it. I think that if you have a Wii it's a nice edition. But maybe you should get just the system then the game with amazon cards or if they have it on swagbucks.

Swagbucks Or Amazon: Is it better to buy amazon cards, then buy it off of Amazon or off of the Swagstore? The Answer: Amazon by 3670 swagbucks . It is 7495 swagbucks on the Swagstore. The price on Amazon is $425 but it comes with another game with it. This was the closest thing I could find to the bundle on Amazon(click on Amazon to go directly to the item). 425/5=85. 85 is the amount of $5 Amazon gift cards you would have to buy to get the amount on Amazon. 85x45. 45 is the number of swagbucks for each amazon gift card so you would need the amount of swagbucks for 85 of them. That comes out to 3825 swagbucks for it using Amazon Gift Cards. So if you use Amazon you save 3670 swagbucks. That is a huge save.
Shipping Time: On the Swagstore, I would say about 3 weeks to 2 months but it depends on where you live. On Amazon, from 1-32 business days. So, you get it a lot faster on Amazon most likely.

Rating: Haven't started this system yet, but it will be up and running pretty soon.

Guide To Swagcodes

Another way to pick up a few more swagbucks every once in a while, is Swagcodes. Swagcodes are codes you get from the swagbucks creators that give you extra swagbucks. These codes can be found in many places. I will be giving you updates on when codes are out and where to find them. I WILL NOT ACTUALLY TELL YOU THE CODE, ONLY WHERE TO FIND IT!! To use the code copy it, and then go to the homepage and look under the thing that tells you how many swagbucks you have. Under it there should be a bar in a red box and put the code in that. If it worked it will tell you, you have have earned X swagbucks It's against swagbucks rules to post active codes, so i won't be doing that. They may not be for that much but every swagbuck gets you closer to whatever your trying to get. So please subscribe to my RSS feeds so you get the updates for the swagcodes right away.



There are four main ways to get swagcodes. The first way is the toolbar. To download the toolbar go here: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-plugins. On the toolbar there is a button next to the logout button that says "From TSG". If the number near it says 1 it means there is a swagcode out(it still says it when it's expired though). Click on it then find the message and click on it. It will open a new page with the code that will be in quotations. Post that in the place i already told you about. Another place to find swagcodes is on the swidget. To download the swidget go here: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-widgetgrab. Occasionally the swidget will have a code that you can get. But this doesn't have as many codes as the toolbar. Another way to get swagcodes is to join their facebook page. Every once in a while TSG will put a swagcode on there. The last way to get swagcodes is the SwagHunt. A swaghunt is when the swagbucks creators make you have to find all the letters or numbers of the swagcode. These usually start on the blog then make you go looking for them in the swagstore or a sponsored website. Make sure to check out my blog to find out when one of these begins.

Well there you have it that's about all there is to know about swagcodes. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please email me at
swagmaker@gmail.com
