I've been steady collecting Swagbucks. Now I have to decide what to do with it. Of all the possible rewards, I'm considering three: Amazon gift certificates, Paypal, and Starbucks gift card.
Amazon is the best deal at 45 swagbucks for $5. But trying to keep a minimalist lifestyle here. I rarely buy books or CDs. I don't need electronics since I own a Zune (MP3 player), Garmin (GPS) and Cannon(camera). All of which I'm quite happy with and don't need to upgrade yet. I need a new laptop but getting enough swagbucks for a Laptop would take forever! I thought of buying things for my home. But Amazon.ca have very limited and expensive selections. I could try Amazon.com. I've had a hard time shipping things other than books and DVDs into Canada from Amazon.com though. So I have to really look and find merchants that will ship to Canada. This will limit my selection and shipping costs will be high.
Starbucks is the second best of the 3 at 130 swagbucks for $10. This would be good for those times I go out for coffee with friends or have a coffee craving. Although I don't go to Starbucks much because I'm not too keen on their drinks. Not sure if I'll have much use for the gift card.
Paypal is the most expensive at 70 swagbucks for $5. The benefit is that I get cash and I can do whatever I want with it.
Any suggestions?

Swagbucks..i too think amazon is a good option to opt.
I redeemed for Amazon.ca gift certificates before Christmas to buy gifts. The Amazon option is the smartest choice.
I'm a fan of Amazon not only for my own DVD splurges, but also because it's a great way to buy gifts...and maybe you can have them shipped to friends int he States if that's an issue?
Your tips were terrific and I’m going to apply them. Thanks for the great post about on "What to do with my Swagbucks".
