Congrats! I gave in, I had almost 200 and I turned most in for Amazon. I haven't had any luck at all with the other engines. Roughly how many bucks do you win each day?

That's great johnny. I pretty much only use prize wish anymore. Seems like the only one that I can get bucks on. I just used mine for another amazon so I only have 7 now.  That's alright. I will have enough for another amazon in 2-3 weeks tops. Thanks to my friends.  oh, and if yall are reading this and wondering hey, what is prize wish? click my siggy and be my friend. I know. I'm shameless. |

Congrats.
Up to 424 now, which is a little over 20 for the week.
Still none from ArtistDirect

They keep raising the number of swag bucks you need to get some of the prizes. I would cash in asap. |

The price for the B&N a couple of weeks ago was 85, now it's 115. The "special offer" is just merchandising. Once more people qualify for the larger prizes they may up those too. Just saying. |

Not everything shows special offer next to price (Wiiiiiii for instance). I'm aware of risks of going for higher prizes. As lower ones get more costly, seems to be a reasonable risk as they are now more than 100 for $10.
I'd go for the Target GC easily but I want a physical card to take to store, not a GC for target.com only.

They should be aware that this is tantamount to changing the rules in the middle of the game, and will piss people off. If they keep doing it, people (including me) won't want to play.

I agree. The reason we stopped the Coke points was the same reason I probably will not continue with Prizewish.. greed. There are also only a limited number of bucks they are giving away according to the rules, so they already have said to me "Hey, we have no intentions of anyone really getting hte bigger prizes" I'll stick with Winzy and Blingo now. |

The only reason the points change is because a number of people abuse the system and are searching the same term over and over just for the swag bucks and are really not using it for their every day searches. When you use it for your every day searches and click the search results it adds value for the sponsors of the search. Prize Wish is one of the only search and win sites that still have Google search results also. Good Luck to everyone. |

I cashed in for 5 of them (gotta have books!!!), and only have 20+ now & thought I was halfway there!!! Oh well, I'm just glad I have a chance at winning swag bucks every day, since the IW's are few & far between!!!  |

 I was saving mine up too, but when I saw the Amazon go from 49 to 60 I cashed mine in. It looks like they will soon be going to 100.

Yea, when you go go buy it, it has the 100 marked off as the regular price and says on special at 60! So if you want them, now is the time to get'em.

I'm back up to 41. The Best Buy GC came quickly (and has already been spent).
Between old and new, I've gotten swagbucks from 95 different search and win sites.

The timing and the award of swag bucks is random. Please also remember that the Prize Wish search engine is a "Search Engine" first and the Swag bucks are a benefit. Its your free wheel to go from engine to engine trying to get the bucks but thats not what was intended. There will probably be more larger monthly prizes in addition to the swag buck if people use PW as a search engine and not as a one armed bandit.  |
