Swag Bucks

Oh my gosh, I've been seeing stuff about Swag Bucks forever, but I finally got around to signing up the other day and if only I'd paid more attention last year, I might not have been in such lousy shape come Christmas gift-giving time last December. My mom is a total Amazon shopping maven, which Amazon stuff is just some of the many many things you can redeem your Swag Bucks for.

You earn at Swag Bucks by searching (searches include results from Google & Ask.com), shopping, trading in old cell phones, or promoting. You also can earn up to 100 matching Swag Bucks per friend on every one you refer when they win while doing a search - so if they win Swag Bucks while searching, you get Swag Bucks too - up to 100! Swag Bucks is also very active on Twitter and I have seen lots of special stuff on their Twitter page since I joined.

So look, I just joined, like, a couple of days ago - I've already won 5 Swag Bucks just by doing a few searches that I was gonna do anyway! And I only need 45 to get a $5 Amazon gift card. My mom may wind up with a few dozen (or who knows, maybe a hundred) $5 Amazon cards for Christmas this year! I'm loving it!

Members must reside in the US, UK, or Canada to be eligible for prizes. Sign up for Swag Bucks now if you're not already a member! It's great!

DealBarbiePays

Now that I've been doing this for a while, some of you might have been wondering why in the world I hadn't gotten around to listing any of the DealBarbie network of sites, which are all very popular in the industry, and the owner has a great reputation for being and honest and paying admin.

Well, the answer to that (why I hadn't listed any of them yet) is because DealBarbiePays was one of the first sites I joined, and then for whatever reason I got more active on other sites and it kind of fell by the wayside with me for a while and, well, now here I am finally getting back to it! Since I initially joined and all that way back when, I have become acquainted with the admin via other industry discussion forums and such, and have started getting a little more active on those sites again.

In any case, it's just such a great group of sites, and with such a good reputation for honesty and being paying sites, that I would be really remiss to continue on without having listed them yet, so here we go!

We'll start with DealBarbiePays, where I first joined way back when. Tons of contests on this site always, lots of 1-cent PTC on site, two referral levels (20% & 10%) - lots of good stuff, and also a $5 signup bonus!

UPDATED 07/09/2009: The DealBarbie network of sites underwent a sale at the beginning of the month and was sold to an established and trusted owner in the community. One major change to the the site that is really nice - DealBarbiePays now has instant, fee-free PayPal payments available whenever the cashout minimum is reached. Check and gift card payments will be paid twice monthly on the 15th & 30th of every month.

UPDATED 05/21/2009: DealBarbiePays is now open to members in the US, UK, and Canada.

UPDATED 11/04/2009: DealBarbiePays has eliminated the payment by check option, but has added Wal-Mart and iTunes gift cards to available payment options.

UPDATED 06/27/2010: The DealBarbie sites are now owned by respected owner Barbara Norris, longtime owner of AnythingFreeForYou. Payment terms have changed to Net 35 and pays by check, PayPal, AlertPay, Revolution Money Exchange, direct deposit, & Wal-Mart or Amazon gift cards/certificates.

UPDATED 09/24/2010: Cashout at DealBarbiePays has been decreased to a $10 minimum.

UPDATED 03/02/2013:  Once again there's been a ton of changes to the site since I last updated, and really so many changes over the years I about can't keep up. The major ones: Members who joined after January 1st, 2011, can cash out at $5; those who joined prior to that date can cash out at $5 dependent on number of offers done, otherwise cashout is $20.

Payment is now available within 24 hours. Payment methods available are PayPal, Payza, check, direct deposit (with approval), and a number of gift certificate/gift card options. There are still two referral levels, but now at 10% and 5%.

QuickRewards

I need to get a little better organized, because I somehow accidentally stuck my link to QuickRewards in the wrong place, and just recently found it via another list of stuff I had 'cause I discovered I had earned some change through mails from QuickRewards. Oops!

QuickRewards is another one with a lot of good word of mouth and favorable comments out there on the 'Net. Some of the big pluses about it is the fact that there's a LOT of very different stuff you can do, on site and off, to earn cash and other goodies. It also has a number guessing game & a trivia game that you can play daily that I like a bunch.

There are different earnings for different things on the site - you can rack up cash, points (which you can redeem for cash in 100 point increments), and tokens (redeemable for prizes). At 100, the points will automatically turn to cash and I've watched my balance go up a couple of cents just in a day this week that way. They have paid mail and paid to click (PTC) opportunities as well.

QuickRewards has no minimum cashout by PayPal and can be requested anytime ($5-25 cashout minimum for gift certificates). Payment is usually within 24-48 hours. They also offer gift certificate options. QuickRewards members must be from the US, UK, or Canada only.

QuickRewards has been awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com.

This site is a little different from the rest and there's definitely a LOT you can do, so go check out QuickRewards today!
