Twitter Tuesday Phrase That Pays – May 16, 2012

TSG — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:00:19 +0000

In yesterday’s TTPTP, in honor of the Swagbucks Carnival, I asked you, if Swagbucks created a carnival ride what would it be called and what would it do?

The three runners up, who will each be getting 50SB are:

“A Buckin’ SWAGERONKO..Hang on & win Swagbucks…watch out! He’s swaggy, tricky & fast! Get BUCKed off & you’ll lose your swag” – karenannleslie of Osoyoos, BC

“The Swag Chute: you are launched from a cannon into an area full of prizes. Whatever you can snatch while in the air is yours to keep” - RVmama of Southaven, MS

“Take a ride on the tail of Swagasaurus Bux! Tap the targets as you swing and collect your prizes as you exit thru the SwagStore!” – SwaggyBSG of Valrico, FL

This week’s TTPTP winner who will be receiving 500SB is…

“The Swaghouse - as you wander through the maze, wacky mirrors change your appearance showing you with different great swag prizes.”

Congratulations, RedfordWrangler of Sun Valley, CA!

Great job to everyone!

Until next time,

TSG

Swagbucks Games: Fore of Hearts

TSG — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:55:10 +0000

Anybody with a computer has at least played one game of solitaire, right? Of course you have. That’s why I think you’ll like the latest addition to Swagbucks Games – Fairway Solitaire, which comes to us from our friends at Big Fish Games. The game is a really fun combination of solitaire and golf, where you play your cards either backwards or forwards, trying to clear the board. There are twists, turns and a different par/goal for each hole of the course – 9 courses in all!

You can snag this game for your iPhone or iPad, and we’re excited to have the opportunity for you to get it for FREE! We’re giving away two $5 iTunes credits PLUS a free copy of Fairway Solitaire for the iPhone/Pod or iPad (your choice): One on Twitter, and one right here on the blog! To win, leave a review of the game here on the blog OR tweet your review to us with the hashtag #SBGames and your Swag Name. We’ll pick one review from each as a winner. You have until 11:59pm PT Thursday night to get your review in!

Enjoy the game, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Twitter Tuesday Phrase That Pays – May 15, 2012

TSG — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:11 +0000

Hey Swaggernauts!

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for the Twitter Tuesday Phrase That Pays (a.k.a. TTPTP), the contest where your creativity is rewarded with Swag Bucks (in addition to that warm, fuzzy feeling). Instead of all the bells and whistles, we’re going to keep it really simple.

If you want a chance to win the TTPTP, just do the following:

First, make sure you have a Twitter account, it’s free to create an account and sign up.
Second, make sure you follow Swag Bucks.
Third, create a message in 140 characters or less that has #TTPTP in it, along with whatever the TTPTP assignment is.
Fourth, enter that message into the “Compose New Tweet” box on the lefthand side of the Twitter home screen. Hit the “Tweet” button to broadcast your message to the world, and sit back and wait for TSG to (hopefully) award you for your wit and creativity.

If you want to include @Swagbucks in your tweet, you can, but you have the same chance of winning either way.

Being that today begins the Swagbucks Carnival, for today’s challenge I want you to make up a Swagbucks Carnival ride. What is it called and what does it do?

Be Creative! Good Luck!

Twitter Trivia Starts At 3:30pm PT

TSG — Thu, 10 May 2012 20:00:21 +0000

Settle in for Twitter Trivia, the online quiz game where I give you the questions, you give me the answers and I give you the Swag Bucks!

If you’re new to Twitter or Twitter Trivia, here’s how we reward per question:

Question 1: First 4 correct responders win 50 Swag Bucks each

Question 2: First 3 correct responders win 75 Swag Bucks each

Question 3: First 2 correct responders wins 100 Swag Bucks!

Question 4: First correct responder wins 150 Swag Bucks!

As a special bonus, if you win all four questions, we’re sweetening the pot with an extra 250 Swag Bucks!

To play, head on over to Twitter. I’ll usually announce on Twitter and Facebook about 10 minutes prior that Trivia will be starting. So make sure you follow us on Twitter.

Then, when I ask a question, you must reply to Swagbucks for your answer to be counted. The easiest way to do this is to hit the curved arrow under the star on the Swagbucks tweet containing the question. This will start your tweet with “@Swagbucks“. After that text, answer the question with correct spelling and answer EVERY PART OF THE QUESTION.

An important note: DO NOT DIRECT MESSAGE the answer. This clogs our inbox and prevents me from rewarding winners as swiftly as I should be. So, if you want less delay between questions, @ Reply to Swagbucks, do NOT Direct Message your answers. Trivia questions ALWAYS have multiple parts so giving one right answer out of the 3 questions asked in the tweet is a wrong answer. Answer ALL parts of the question.

If you’re one of the first to answer correctly, TSG or TSGal will send a message to your Twitter inbox (or Direct Message you, AKA “DM”) giving you instructions on how to claim your Swag Bucks.

Twitter Trivia begins at 3:30PM PDT today. Good luck to all!
