A native Californian transplanted in southern Illinois.I've been doing Swagbucks for a few months now. (CreditCardFree's tutorial from last May is very helpful). So far, I have purchased 1 $5 Amazon gift card for 450 Swagbucks. What I would really like though, is to redeem for cash.
Today I noticed there is a gift card for a vendor called Dwolla. Dwolla seems to be very similar to Paypal. Dwolla does charge a $.25 fee for transactions over $10.
Currently, $5 Dwolla gift cards are on sale for 400 Swagbucks. I bought one. It will take a few days for Dwolla to verify my bank account info, and a few days for my gift card to be available.
Hopefully, one day soon I will have $5 cash in my checking account, courtesy of Swagbucks and Dwolla. It will make a lovely mortgage chip.
Last night, I met a girlfriend I hadn't seen in about 6 months for drinks, dinner, and giggles. I offered to pay. I spent $30 including a generous tip. (The place we like to go has awesome margaritas for $2. Also, the best chips and salsa I have ever had). We had a great time.
Today I am planning to drive up to Davis to see BF. I will spend the night and come home tomorrow afternoon.
Heard About Dwolla?

Best points earned through the surveys but also through watching the videos (only 30 seconds and you can move on) or the activities, an easy 5 or 10 points. I go for at least the minimum each day to get the bonus points.
Everything is going to Christmas this year.

According to what I have read, it is a flat fee of $.25 per transaction, waived for transactions less than $10.
Here is the NYT blog post I read:
