Swagpression: It is what happens when they deactivate you :(


UPDATE:  I HAVE BEEN REINSTATED! My frown has been turned upside down! SWAGBUCKS, you will not regret it :)
I now have my own swag word that describes my experience with swagbucks, Swagpression.  Swagpression is when swagbucks finds out that your husband signed up for swagbucks 6-7 months ago and they deactivate you when it is time to receive your gift card and you are left with NOTHING!  It happened on Tuesday night.  I was shell shocked.  My husband is not active with swagbucks.  He had 9.  I had close to 200 with 5 gift cards heading my way and 30 referrals.  As you can imagine, this was a big blow to my dream of a FREE Christmas.  I am going to take this as a learning experience and move on. I was careless, and it was my fault.  I feel like my boyfriend, swagbucks broke up with me, and I have sent e-mails to them begging that they would take me back.  LOL! He even took away my gift cards.  Ok, I am being a little melodramatic.  


Well, if you are currently with swagbucks, make sure that you:

  1. Never have more than one person in your household sign up for swagbucks.  I was careless and did not read the rules carefully.  Already have 2 accounts?  Contact compliance@swagbucks.com and ask them to deactivate one of your accounts.  They may not have caught you yet, but when you cash in your swagbucks they will make sure you did not violate this rule.  They will find out!
  2. Do not post or list an actual swagcode ANYWHERE!  You will be banned for life!
  3. Do not search too many times within a minute.  Use authentic searches or they will deactivate you and you have to beg to be reactivated.  
  4. Know the rules of the game. I would post a link but they have blocked my IP address.  
A moment of silence for my lost gift cards, referrals and my dream of a FREE Christmas!


Hopefully Swagbucks and I will make up and I can join you as a Swagernaut.

Thinking about Canceling Your Home Phone Service? ooma VOIP

As some of you may know, my family paid  2 mortgages for over 4 months.  We cut all of our expenses "to the bone" so that we would not be in debt. Yes, we canceled our yard treatment plan, satellite, began extreme couponing, budgeting and yes, eating potatoes once a week for dinner! 

Well, I just found a very interesting, award winning product that you might be interested in if you are considering canceling your home phone line so you can "cut the fat":  ooma with No Monthly Phone Service Bills.  Check out the video here to learn more! Even with Vonage, you spend around $300 a year.  This is a one time fee of $231 at Amazon with FREE Shipping!


Here is the information from the manufacturer:

ooma is an award-winning product that gives you free home phone service. Quite simply, no more nickel and dime fees and no more monthly phone bills. Acclaimed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Business Week, and featured as one of the year's hottest products in Parade and In Style magazines, ooma offers premium home phone service as it was meant to be.

Your one-time purchase of the ooma system delivers:
  • Free calling in the U.S. with no monthly fees or contracts
  • Caller-ID, call-waiting, and voicemail
  • The reliability and crisp acoustic performance of a landline
  • Easy setup in just minutes
  • A new phone number from any calling area in the U.S.
  • The option to keep your existing number for a one-time charge ($39.99)
  • The freedom to hear your voicemail and control preferences online in the ooma Lounge
  • Voicemail notifications to your email and your mobile phone
  • Extremely low-cost international rates starting at a penny per minute
  • A 30-day money-back guarantee and an extendable one-year warranty

Nielsen Home ScanNielsen Homescan is accepting applications! Go here to apply!

How does Nielsen Homescan work? Upon approval, they will send you a scanner. For a specific period of time you are to scan everything that you purchase. Then, you connect your scanner to the computer and download your info to Nielsen Homescan once a week so that they can collect the data. This is how they get information and data on products and opinions.

What do you get out of it?  You get points for EVERYTHING you scan!  For each submission you earn a certain amount of points.    You may also complete surveys for points.  The longer you are apart of the panel the more points you accumulate.  You then can trade the points for items like trips, jewerlry, electronics and more!  This is kind of like Swagbucks.  You can use this service to buy gifts.

I have not tried this yet but I have heard that it is fun to do with your kids!  They LOVE to scan, and the points can add up!  Sign up today to learn more!
