Need help with Swagbucks and egift cards...

[traces7]

I have enough points to cash in for an egift card. How do these work exactly? I'm thinking of getting a Starbucks one. Do you just print it out and take it to Starbucks and use like a regular gift card?

I know about the good deal on the Amazon egift card, may get some of those too. (Can you use more than one at a time on Amazon?)

Thanks for any help!

I've never done the Starbucks ones so I can't help there. But I have cashed in numerous times for the $5 Amazon gift cards.

After you select to 'buy' it with your points you will have to click a link in your email to verify your 'purchase'. Then, be patient. It can take up to 2 weeks or so for Swagbucks to add your gift cards to your account. Then, copy the 16 digit (I think) gift card number. Go to your Amazon account and click on your account details. There is a link that will say something like 'add gift cards'. You can then paste this number here. Yes, you can add more than one, and they don't expire once you add them. I have added numerous $5 gift cards over a long period of time. It is fun to watch your balance increase and even more fun to shop for FREE!

Thanks that's really good to know, I think I'll get some of the Amazon ones. Now if anyone can help with Starbucks or Target, that would be great!

I have got the Wal-mart, Chili's , Applebee's Amazon, Regal Cinimasa and Steak Shake gift cards. You just print the card off and use as a regular gift cards. I have not Starbucks one. I don't drink coffee at all.

Thanks I bet the Starbucks one works the same, I'll try it! I don't drink coffee either, but my DD likes some of the frappuccinos, etc., so I thought I'd get her one for her stocking.

I love the Amazon GC I haven't paid for anything on Amazon in 2 years!

Starbucks e-GC's can be printed out and used at Starbucks or used to re-load a registered Starbucks card. I use any Starbucks GC's (e-cards or plastic) to reload my registered card. The rules have changed as of today. Now after 12 drinks, you get one free.
I've also purchased CVS and Walmart e-gc's from Swagbucks when they are a 'braggable bargain". I use the CVS paper ones in store, but buy plastic Walmart GC's on the Walmart website and have it mailed to me. The Walmart cashiers have enough problems with regular Walmart GC's and coupons. I'd hate to try to explain a e-gc.
The $5 Amazon is the best deal on Swagbucks. 450 Swagbucks= $5 Amazon. the other gc's start at 525 Swagbucks and up. You are limited to 5 ea per month of any gc on Swagbucks. On the rare occasion that I have more Swagbucks, that's when I wait for a bargain.
