When you win bucks, it asks you to sign in and that’s it.
SwagBucks is on Facebook (join the SwagBucks group), and releases daily "codes" to give you 1-2 free swagbucks (or more). Over time, that can add up, so if you have FB, be sure to look them up!
Now has used video games available for purchase with swagbucks, older systems included!

No cash needed - this post is to help everyone who could use a little money. Besides, when you sign up and complete a survey from GTM or Opinion Outpost, they give me a dollar - so I have the potential to get $2. That and I got 8 swagbucks from your searching, which is going towards a $5 gift card - so you've already helped, thanks! Hope you earn some good money  |

The best thing to do is Google the signup page - it's no guarantee you'll get surveys, but Pinecone is very strict and it is illegal to share the link if you find it. But people post it anyways, so you should be able to find it  |

Haha, yeah I understand what you mean to an extent - they used to do surveys for $5 and not have the sweepstakes though, and a $5 check wasn't bad at all. I think they do it that way so you don't have to wait for money like other places, so if you dont get a survey for a while it's nice to be able to take that money right after the survey. So I kinda like it.
Don't you have paypal though? They deposit $3 in your paypal next day, and that is much more convenient. Even if you dont have one, it's worth getting one because your balance will go up pretty fast - and then you can use that money to buy stuff here, or paypal can send it to your bank account and you won't have to sign/deal with the checks.
Hopefully even if the checks are a pain in the ass, you enjoy PineCone  |

I think so, only way to find out is to check I guess, but I think it should eventually be backed by a bank account, that's just me though. |
