Default Who Here Uses Swagbucks?

I have been using Swagbucks for the last few weeks and I am loving it! I have redeemed $20 in Amazon gift cards so far and I am on my way to the next $5 gift card. This is just from the web searches and referrals. (For those of you who don't know, you earn "Swagbucks" just for searching on their search engine. It is powered by Google).

Although I have been doing well so far, I would like to do even better. Basically, I want to get better at finding Swag codes. How many of you use Swagbucks? Are there any good sites to find Swag codes?

Also, I just signed up for iRazoo and I am considering Blingo. Have any of you had success with either of these? How do they compare to Swagbucks?

Swagbucks is pretty sweet, it's great getting rewarded for something I already do.

I recently started using Swagbucks and it seems pretty cool. I'm 13 away from a $5 Amazon GC, which is pretty exciting.

I know you can follow them on Twitter to get Swag codes.

Hey guys, Swagbucks updated its site! It is now easier to use! They are also supposedly releasing a widget, but it was supposed to come out yesterday and still hasn't arrived. Yay!

I've been trying iRazoo these past few days, and while it's got some cool prizes, you have to earn a LOT of points to get them. I've earned 200 points by commenting and recommending sites (8 points total: 4 for comment, 4 for recommendation), but it would take a lot of work to reach 3,000, the amount needed to redeem a $5 Amazon GC. I've spent quite a bit of time on iRazoo and haven't gotten an instant GC win.

Swagbucks, on the other hand, only requires 45 swagbucks to redeem a $5 Amazon GC, a goal much easier to reach (I find that I get at least 1 swag buck a day just by searching) and takes a lot less work.

I haven't tried blingo yet. I may if I have some time to check it out.

That was what I was worried about with iRazoo. It seems like a lot of work for a small reward. Swagbucks seems to be much easier so far.

Update: Since I started this thread (June 8th), I have earned $25 more in Amazon gift cards! Swagbucks rocks!

So far, no luck in iRazoo. Haven't tried Blingo yet.

My first $5 Amazon GC just cleared my account. How are you getting so much? $25 since June 8th? Do you do all their swag code treasure hunts and stuff?

I do the swag code hunts, but the best way to earn swagbucks is through referring people. When you refer someone, you get a swagbuck every time they earn a swagbuck up to 100 swagbucks. It really adds up fast if you refer people.
