One more thing to mention...while I usually choose to trade my swag bucks in for amazon.com gift cards, there are MANY MANY MANY other options, including CASH!  Yep, CASH!  You can cash in your swag bucks for gift cards to PayPal, which is the same as earning CASH!  In addition, there are tons of other great gift cards and super cool items.  Also, you can use your bucks to buy entries in many different "swagstakes," with items ranging from additional swag bucks to cool electronics.  So be sure to browse around the store to see what you'd like to save up your swag bucks for!
