Swagbucks - free gift cards and other prizes

so, i have enough for an amazon gc, but i'm not sure if i should get a .com one or a .ca one. Will Amazon.com ship to Canada?

Most likely not
Find the item that you want, add it to your cart and checkout using your address to find out

well you can actually pick from a huge long list of countries for your address, so i guess they do ship to canada. does anyone have any experience with ordering from amazon.com and using your swag GCs? can you stack them? does it apply to shipping as well? any help is appreciated!

Wrong, that means nothing.
You would have to add the item to your card and checkout.
Then on the "shipping method" page you put you address
Next page you'll get an error saying

Hex Dumbell - 5lb

*** We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button below. (See geographical restrictions.) ***

This goes for 90% of the items on amazon

Yes- I ordered a couple weeks ago from amazon.com using my swagbucks gift cards. I had redeemed a number of amazon.com cards leading up to the order, and deposited them into my amazon.com account. Any unused amount is kept in your amazon.com account for your next order. I don't think you can transfer it out once you put it in, but once you deposit it, it won't expire.

There is no limit to stacking these cards, as they are gift cards, and you can apply the cards towards shipping, and also towards most Amazon Marketplace vendors.

I took a trip to the US, so I had amazon.com deliver the package to me at the hotel, so I saved on paying the shipping/import fees that would have been charged to have it delivered to me in Canada.

Some electronics can be delivered to Canada, it depends on the item, but the shipping charges are $19.99 per item, and also possibly a per item or per pound charge, depending on what it is, etc. It's all explained in their shipping rates section. Also, the item will usually say "For shipping only within US" or something like that in the item description. If you do a checkout, you can see exactly how much they will charge, including the import fee.

I think for most items, it's not worth it to order from amazon.com unless you can't get it in Canada. If you have an Ameri-friend, or are taking a trip to the US sometime though, it's a great place to shop. I wish amazon.ca was more like amazon.com, or that they would at least let you use the amazon.ca gift cards for the Marketplace vendors.

oh, thats weird, because i don't get that error message. is that before or after the payment method page?

edit: i just went through almost the whole checkout process and i didn't get that message, so i guess i chose one of the very few items that can be shipped to canada. on a side note, shipping is $30, yiiikes!

Thanks for these helpful tips on amazon gift cards!

I have another question though... Say you have $10 of amazon gift cards, and apply it to something that's $15... do you get charged tax on $15, or the difference of $5?

I guess it would be $15, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed for the $5 haha.

Gift card is just a payment method. You get charged tax on the full amount.

How's the Twitter/RSS feed plan, people? We need something where everyone can post and subscribe to.

An easy way is a new RFD thread where we post only codes and no discussion/thank-you's so you can add an instant email update. Any vote for this?

This is a great idea. The fact that codes lasts only a short period of time, by dedicating a thread to only codes, theres lesser of a chance for us to miss it.
