When reaching our 10 millionth member, we asked our members to share their stories. One common theme they all have in common is a love of earning free gift cards. Here's what they had to say.
I can buy my kids nice presents and treats all my pets without having to spend too much from my pockets. I even did a Dora the Explorer makeover for my daughter's bedroom mostly paid for by Swagbucks.
melr262It allowed me to buy everything I needed to set up of my room for the child we're adopting.
katestafflWith a disabled son we have to travel a lot and spend a lot of time in the hospital and money gets tight. I earned enough gift cards to get him a Nintendo 3DS so he has something to do while he is getting treatment.
chrissy3978I am a couponer and they help me pay for my shopping trips. The extra money allows me to coupon and donate on a monthly basis to various organizations in my area. It makes my heart smile! Thank you Swagbucks!
CherokeemoonI'm on a fixed income but still want nice things! I got this fountain by using the gift cards I got from Swagbucks.Now that I can no longer work, Swagbucks makes it possible for me to have lots of nice "wants" and also plenty of "needs!" Love my Swagbucks!
VanettaI can no longer work due to health reasons and this is a way to help me with some bills that I cannot afford to pay. I often have a little extra through this site to buy things for me or my dog as a treat. I think Swagbucks is an awesome way for those who are forced to retire or cannot work to help make ends meet :-)
JDSarrisMy Husband is Military and he always gives everything for me. I want to get him a gift in appreciation for everything his does for me and his country.
Lovely24janeThis site has been my backbone for about a year now with no money to pay bills. Every $5 I earn in gift cards is another $5 that I can spend on groceries at Walmart. Without Swagbucks I wouldn't be able to survive living off of one income! Thank you swagbucks for everything that you offer.
ltbst4They benefit my family and the community. I have been a member of Swagbucks for many years. When I first began, it was to earn extra "fun" money as a stay at home mom during my free time. Since then I've been able to spend hundreds of dollars on Toys for Tots during the holidays and help out those less fortunate. Thank you!
KAYLAMARIE1110I have 6 little boys between the ages of 12-1. Swagbucks has helped to make ends meet; I've used the gift cards for holidays, birthdays and so much more. When we moved to our current home, I had to leave everything that we owned behind. Swagbucks helped me to furnish our new home.
tvealI work fulltime to support my family. My wife is a stay at home mom for two of our children. I make just enough to pay bills, buy food and keep a roof over our heads. With Swagbucks, I can finally make a little extra to provide my family, whether its extra cash on Paypal to pay for a special dinner or Amazon gift cards to pay for "Amazon Mom" subscriptions for diapers and supplies for my kids.
FWeatherwaxBefore I became a swagger our budget was limited and The Grinch was stealing our Christmas a little each year. Now I save my gift cards all year and spend them online while earning even more SB through Shop and Earn. Now I can provide my kids with a decent Christmas and it doesn't make my wallet shrink 3 sizes!
kymomcaMy husband's hours and bonuses at work were cut in this bad economy. I am a stay at home wife and home schooling Mother and we don't want to take welfare; Swagbucks is helping put healthy food on the table.
DemandFreedomNowI use my free gift cards to get free books for when I have doctors appointments. My name is Jessi and I have half a heart. I was born with multiple congenital heart defects among other medical issues. I use gift cards to get gifts for young CHDers in the hospital. I use gift cards to help donate to hospital PICUs.
goffer49My daughter is a US Sailor. I use the gift cards I earn from Swagbucks to buy things to set up care packages for our troops. They really don't make much money and the care packages they recieve helps them moneywise and gives them LOVE from home!
imceciMy hours at work and my bonuses got cut because of the economy. Swagbucks has helped my family buy homeschooling supplies, Christmas and birthday gifts and loads of food.
swaggerdadthomasOf my son. My son has Tuberous Sclerosis, which is is a neurological disorder which causes tumors, seizures and behavioral problems. To reward him for good behavior he gets to go to Toys 'R Us and pick out a Disney Infinity disc, which can get expensive. Thankfully, I can earn gift cards with my SB and Ryan can keep getting his rewards! Thank you Swagbucks!
tinahawkI have a blended family and it helps get nice things for our kids. My children's father passed away in 2008, as did the mother of my two step-sons. Having a family with four children (2 in college, 1 in high school and a 10 year old) can get expensive, especially when it comes to being able to afford some of the things that they would like.
nancyann1234I'm saving up to buy my college text books for my last year of undergraduate school. I'm a full-time student with no current job, so Swagbucks has been a blessing.
abirdannieI want to make sure I can give my grandbabies wonderful gifts for the holidays. I raise my 3 grandchildren, and SB makes it possible for me to buy them gifts and special prizes. Thank you Swag Bucks! We are truly grateful.
brwnidgrylMy middle daughter has Autism. We are on such a tight budget that the gift cards work as rewards for the new milestones she make in her life. We are so proud of her!
tba3coffeyI can't adopt a pet now where I live, so I use what I earn to buy things for our local no-kill animal shelter. I don't have a lot of extra money to donate, but Swagbucks helps me give more than I could otherwise.
alabamabubbsBooks and movies I like are hard to find, so I just buy them on Amazon! Super easy and fun!
