Have you done any shopping through your GPT sites?

I've shopped through Mypoints many times. Their points update rather quickly, within a week I will see the points I earned for shopping through them.. though the points are usually pending for about a month (meaning I can see the points on my account, but can't spend the points).
Last week I did some shopping through SwagBucks. It was my first time shopping through that site. You can earn 2 SBs for every dollar spent. I spent about $400 on car parts for hubby's car.. so I should get about 800 SwagBucks.. sweet! Though my account hasn't updated yet. I'm told it will take a month for my points to show up on my account.
Thankfully I'm not in a hurry.. but still it would be nice to know that I will get those points. Until I see the points on my account I'm going to wonder about whether or not I'll get them.. there's never any guarantee, you know?
Do you shop through your GPT sites? Have you ever shopped through SwagBucks? How long did it take for the points to show up on your account?

I have been accumulating points on the My Point program. It takes quite a while to get to a reasonable level to make some purchases. On one hand, I do not wish to use the points on items which are not that necessary for my. So, I am waiting till I have eneough points to purchase some good items.

This is a way to earn more points. If you have a need and are going to shop online anyway you can visit stores through MyPoints. Say, if you needed something from Sears, if you go to Sears through MyPoints you buy your item and then MyPoints gives you some extra points as well. I found that really helped me add up my MyPoints.

SwagBucks has tons of sites to do shopping on. Whenever we plan on buying something through the internet, I look at Mypoints or Swagbucks to see if the store is on either site.. I might as well earn points for something I'm going to buy anyways!

I just went for an Amazon gift card yesterday. Too early for it to be there yet. Somebody over on Paysnork was worried about hers, it had been 10 days, I think.

I get my rewards fairly quickly through both sites. I've typically ordered Walmart cards through Mypoints and I get them within a few weeks. Through SwagBucks I've ordered 4 Amazon Cards now and usually get them within 2 weeks.

I've done a few purchases through mypoints in the past and I actually made one last week because I got turbotax, but I haven't seen the points show up for that yet. I've never personally done any shopping through swagbucks, but my sister made a purchase through a special offer last month and she did get the points updated for her purchase relatively quickly. The thing is, I never buy things that I didn't need to buy otherwise.
For example, with the turbotax, I would have bought it at the store, but I got an email offer to save 25% if I used my Capital One card (which I'm paying off with my tax return) and when I went to the site it told me that I was also earning 4 points per dollar so of course I was going to do it.

I have only shopped through MyPoints. I think it is cool that you shopped through Swag Bucks be sure to let us know how it went when you get the points.

I have no shoppped through swagbucks because I am not a member. However I have shopped through mypoints. I really love mypoints. The first giftcard that I recieved there was earned soley by reading emails. I didnt even have to buy a single thing. I always buy things that I would have normally bought anyway so its a great site.
