My Swagbucks can be used to get giftcards or transfer to Paypal. 5,000 Swagbucks equals $50 so I will not only be earning 5x UR from my Ink Card but I will be making about $15. Pretty good deal!<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly my Visa giftcards just shipped and are expected to arrive on May 14 so this whole process will take awhile but worth it since I can do this from home and not have to drive around buying giftcards.<\/p>\n<p>Update: Just got my Visa GCs today 5\/5\/14 and just realized you have to first activate them online at www.giftcardmall.com\/activate and you also must use the activation codes that they sent you in a separate mail envelope. Good thing I didn&#8217;t throw it away! After you activate the card, you can then call the number on the back of the card to set a Pin # to load to BB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: People have reported that Swagbucks and other shopping portals are no longer giving bonuses for Staples giftcard purchases.
