Do you use Swagbucks to gain points?
What in shitting crikey are swagbucks?
Googles…
Seems to be some sort of voluntary web-based spyware? No thanks.
What are “Swagbucks”, where do you get them, what are “points”, and why would I want them?
I’m not sure if this is Czarcasm or not but…
Swagbucks is a website where one registers and one can gain points or “swagbucks” there by using their search engine and doing other tasks. If one has enough “swagbucks” one can use them to buy things at their store which include gift cards, and consumer goods.
Perhaps you could tell us what you are talking about?
I’m checking it out, and it look hinky. You can apparently get premiums if you sign up for this program. To get the “Swag Bucks”, you have to use their search engine, watch their “Vidoes”(that inspired confidence!), buy items from their catalog to earn a Swag Bucks rebate to apply towards a Free Gift Card, and various other assignments. How many of these “Swag Bucks” does it take to earn a premium of any value? You can’t tell without signing up. What are some of the premiums available? You can’t tell without signing up.
A five dollar Amazon gift cards is roughly 450 swagbucks for starters.
And how amy videos or web searches does it take to get 450 swagbucks?
OMG, did I fall in a time warp back to 1996? Sooo not majoring in philosophy this time!!
I took me a few weeks but I’m not a fanatical swagbucker. Some kids usually got it every two weeks or so.
What’s the conversion rate between Swagbucks and Stanley Nickels?
Doesn’t sound worth it.
And what can you get for these 450 swagbuckeroos? A toaster? An iPod? A three-day all expenses paid vacation on the Space Station?
See post #7-a $5 Amazon.com gift card.
So you can earn a five dollar gift certificate with only a few weeks worth of work?
I’m amazed this program isn’t more popular.
Hell no.
Hm. That didn’t come out quite right. Let’s try again.
Fuck no!
There we go.
PS: I have a feeling these poll results are going to continue to be hilarious.
I wonder if this is going to have SDMB’s most one sided poll results.
As for the question, no I don’t use it. It’ll take a lot to get me to use a search engine other than google.
Now, if they had good porn videos, (equivalent to what you can find on youporn or xhamster), I might be willing to use them for that, but otherwise, no, not going to use them.
That’s child’s play, son. Gotta switch your game up to xvideos and mammothtube. Eventually you might be able to handle motherless.
And no, I’ve never heard of Swagbucks and the entire thing sounds like a bad idea.
I see that you do. I would suggest you use CCleaner on your system, pronto.
