So I joined swagbucks one of those join to win and search to win sites and it suck major balls. Takes forever to get points and claim an mp3 I can easily download for free elsewhere. Oh and no I won't post my referalls or anything I'm not one of those guys just giving you all a heads up on what those sites are really about

I haven't ever used Swagbucks, only Lockerz which also sucks.
How long would it take approximately to 16,999 points for Swagbucks.

You get a good amount of points each day.
It's the redemptions that make me angry. They happen each month, IIRC and most of the time the "the server is down" or you can't get it in to redeem anything.

I didn't go on it for awhile (7 months) so I'm not sure if it's better, now.

Edit: I just checked and it's actually rather good. At their shop you can use points to reduce the price of some items. Damn it. I should have kept using it.

Like how many & how much time would it take if say I wanted something big (console or iPod) on there? I mean its great its free and all but most of the time the surveys and offers are a huge waste of time

A console such as an Xbox 360 or PS3 would probably take a year or two.
An iPod would take several months.

Look at this forum more info. Ask questions about Lockerz at the forum below.

Any of these "get free stuff" sites are shit. By the time you get any points to buy anything, let alone anything worthwhile, everything will be stolen within seconds of it being put online. And the only way to get more points quicker is to invite more people. And the more people you invite the more competition you have. And those people then invite even more people. It's a giant pyramid of shit.

You're better off not wasting your time on such sites and simply buy stuff.

I have about 3000 points and only by searching my bookmarked pages instead of going directly to them. What sucks is almost all the prizes don't ship to Canada, like dogbone NES controllers or a retro duo...

I agree....swagbucks sucks major arse NOW....

But last year it was pretty awesome. I was getting ~15$ a month in amazon cards, just by piddling with their search bar now and again.

But as pyramid schemes go, they're finally reaching a suitably large userbase that prize giveaways are few and far between, not to mention the redesign a few months ago cut your winnings to 1/10th of what they used to be.

Nowadays I'm lucky if I get one 5$ amazon gift card every month and a half, so I quit using it. Even my referrals don't bring in shit anymore, because if I get a percentage based on what other people win, and no one's winning anything.......

Anything is better than fuzzy kittens (I typed that in on purpose, just in case).

It takes too long to get enough PTZ to get something good, and then you have to try so hard to get into a redemption.

The Shop discount using PTZ is nothing. 500 PTZ gets like 2% off. It's POINTless (Get it?).

I don't really like Swagbucks, since it takes a long time to accumulate points, but it's one of the better ones out there.

I dunno about all those free sites.

I had a friend give me 20 bucks to try gamefly for a month. 'Cause he made like... 30 bucks per referral or something?

That was awesome.


But really. Learn a little about computers and whore your service out.
You can make like 30 bucks in an hour just running a virus scanner and a tune-up utility, setting them up with Microsoft Security Essentials and stuff.

They pay you this because they don't know how to use a computer.
I got some awesome shirts from a guy last time I worked on a computer.


To boost your credibility with them, learn what the insides look like.
Open their computer, take out a part, tell them what it is, and put it back in.
All of a sudden, you're the smartest person alive.

They never question your prices after that.
