Redeeming Amazon Gift Cards

I've had a few people ask questions about redeeming the Amazon gift cards that you can earn through Swagbucks.

First, I think the Amazon gift card is the best reward. It's "cheap" and you can buy just about anything from Amazon.com! At only 450 Swagbucks, the $5 Amazon gift card is the most bang for your Swagbuck. However, Swagbucks limits you to only five of the same gift per month, so if you are lucky enough to earn points to get more than five you will have to wait until the next month to order more. If you want to save up your points, the $50 Amazon gift card is a better "deal" than the $25.

Every time I get a gift code I put in my Amazon account right away. You can put in as many codes as you want and they will just keep building up until you are ready to spend them! They never expire. Amazon offers free shipping on many items if you spend $25 or more, so if you save up your Swagbucks and order with free shipping you could get some really great stuff for free!

Here is how to put in an Amazon gift code:

1. Go to Your Account. (It's easy to set one up if you don't already have one.)
2. Click "Apply a gift card to your account" under "Payment Settings".
3. Sign in with your e-mail address and password.
4. "Copy" then "paste" your claim code into the box and click then "Redeem now". Your funds will automatically be applied to your next order.

I ordered several of our homeschooling books with my "earnings". When I first joined Swagbucks I wondered if it was going to be worth all the trouble. When I sent off for my completely free order I realized it was! Have you gotten anything from Amazon with Swagbucks reward gift cards?

If you don't know what Swagbucks is click here to find out more. You earn your first 30 Swagbucks just for signing up!

Don't Forget: Giveaway!!

Don't forget to sign up for the GB Savers giveaway! You can win the prize of your choice at CSN Stores.com with the $40 gift card. Just want to add that your chances of winning are really good so be sure to get your entry in!!

Target Accused of Ripping People Off

Some of you may have noticed that coupons at target are getting rounded down, when they shouldn't. Especially coupons for $ off multiple items. The coupons are scanning for the price of one item and rounding down your coupons. Please keep a close eye on the coupons when shopping at Target.

Here are more details from Common Sense with Money

Walgreens Coupon Policy NOW ONLINE!

After years of confusion Walgreens has finally decided to post their coupon policy online! Although I know it is probably not the case, I would like to think my many complaint emails and requests for this policy over the years had something to do with this new development! :)

The policy is well written and clear, especially on a few points that have long caused confusion for both shoppers and cashiers. Most notably:

Buy One, Get One Free Coupons

  • When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased.
  • Sales tax must be paid for any Buy One, Get One Free coupon offers, if required by applicable state laws.
This appears to be a change in their "official" policy. Although until now we never really knew what the official policy was! This means that you CAN use two coupons (or a $x/2 coupon) in combination with a BOGO sale. And you CAN use a BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale (you will still have to pay sales tax, which has always been the case).

Read the whole policy here. I highly recommend you print this policy off and put it in your coupon container so you have it handy the during your shopping trips to Walgreens.
