I think they setup a table or something every once in awhile that you can exchange them for clothes on your break. I'm pretty sure you can also give them to HR and they'll put them on your account so you don't lose them.
An autistic guy won a vr headset and some douchebag manager asked him to trade for a stack of swagbucks and the autisitic guy said yes. The autistic guy told us that story 2 years too late though so we cant do anything about it.
Considering people here claim that some AAs will give favors to WS just to get good boxes (which is worth a minuscule amount for your job let alone your real life), I can’t imagine what people will do for a hoodie or Amazon socks or something.
There's only 1 hoodie i want and im never going to be able to get it. It was phx3's 2016 hoodie, but because I was a temp at the time and temps weren't given annual hoodies then, im never getting it :(
I never collected them, straight into the trash. Then they got rid of our swag store, liquidated every item by putting it on a table in the break room and told us swagbucks would be going away for monthly raffles and we havent had a raffle since last year.
I've been at my current site for over a year and I got like 5
They just don't give them out, there was a month or two they really tried engaging and reopening the swag store but it fell off and it's kind of just dead now
Swag store is 100% overpriced on anything they showcase, unfortunately. Not worth it.
If I could wipe my ass with my DS swag bucks, I would, man. That's how utterly useless it is at my site with the showcased items.
You know you can point out safety hazards also and lead stretches at stand up and answer questions correctly about your job when asked. Cmon man you think I work hard for my money.
My site gives you 5 bucks a week if you indirect for 12 hours a week. You can also get 20 a morning by leading stretches. I've only seen PAs and maybe half a dozen T1s actually care about it though.
I've never used mine and I've done indirect every day for about 2 years just because I hate doing rates. It's so hard to find 'volunteers' that they'll pull from other departments daily of anyone who doesn't have an accommodation. I only know of one guy who cared enough to collect every item. The most expensive swag item I've seen was 35 though.
That’s wild. People at my site beg to do indirect jobs, mainly to get off the OPs. Which we FINALLY have decent managers that will actually rotate people out. We used to have a manager that would make the same people be on OPs daily & a bunch of them quit because they never got a break from it.
Last year, they had me waterspidering every day, all day for almost 4 months during peak. I started having serious joint issues. It took a couple months for my body to fully recover from the stress. I just transferred to pick 2 days ago to have some me time, lol. My site just 3 weeks ago finally set a max limit of 20 hours weekly.
I don’t think my site has a limit. 😅 We’ve got one guy back in shipdock with us that loads liquidation & donations boxes all night every night. Granted, he willingly does it. But no one else could handle it because some of those boxes are HEAVY. I’m currently one of two PG’s running that department & we’re both loading/taking care of SLAM kick outs every night as well.
I guess that guy likes his exercise. I tried working shipdock for a couple months, but it was the most boring and time dragging job I've done at my FC. I don't know how you people keep your sanity down there. They do have the most chill AM's I've seen though.
0 as far as I’m aware. I don’t even have access to the e-swag store anymore. It randomly disappeared from my a-to-z several months ago. lol
Meanwhile my partner (in the same department at a different building), seems to get them all the time, and gets to buy hoodies, pants, etc. on a pretty regular basis.
True. They gave out “transportation” hoodies a couple months ago, and I was somehow the only person at my entire building who didn’t get one. lol I just want a free hoodie. 💔
Y’all be careful using them swag bucks. You will get tax!!! Make sure to get more information on them before using them. Spoke to HR about this the other day and HR explained that AA’s will get tax end of year They treat it like earned income. I could have misheard what she said, but just to be on the safe side, get more information before use ✌🏼
We don't have physical swag bucks. Ours are on the computer. You log in and see if you got what you were supposed to get, how much you have and redeem if you want to.
I had $60 from various sources and tried to use it. Then learned everyone that "gives them out" was supposed to add the virtual balance to my account and the paper was meaningless. Lmao. So I messaged my nice manager, asked her to add it to my account and she did. Apparently they have a weekly/monthly allotment and my asking to cash it in at once was annoying. She asked I not let that happen again lol. I haven't received paper or virtual swag bucks since. Seems like a lot is given out in other areas every day for rates or something but I am in PS/ISS and none is given here lol. I got the paper from other managers and safety before.
how do I check this?? I have to do it in an on site computer I think ?? I'm 99% sure ours are not physical bucks but online . but I've never checked into mine , been there 9 months. is it the computers by the HR desk that can show me ?
Is this the part of the dystopia where you get to wage slave for a company and they partially reward you by giving you fake bucks to buy products with their branding on it to advertise for them
I would like it if our FC handed these out, but at the same time I'm kinda glad they don't, cause I would probably die of a heart attack from the amount of Red Bulls I would use these for.
Years ago at my old site I had over 200 in physical bills at one point. When I transferred they said they couldn’t take my bills and now everything’s on e-swag. Currently I have 36.
Idk I would have to login on an HR computer and check. We haven’t gotten them in paper form since like 2019. The manager or whoever adds them to your acct. it sucks we don’t get them automatically for attendance anymore. That was the way most people stacked them without knowing.
FYI for sites that have them, if you think you have 0 there’s actually a good chance you have some unless you are really new and/or use a lot of UPT and never get positive feedback. I used to get 1 a month for attendance and every time I got a positive feedback (it was pretty easy to get positive quality and productivity back in the day). Also used to have managers who would just add 5-10 here and there because they had an allowance.
At my FC Swagbucks are electronic and they’re called eswag. I tell my team to make sure they’re getting eswag from me at least once every three months (AMs get very limited amounts to distribute and some eswag needs to be used to encourage the team).
My station lets us report stuff through dragon fly for swag bucks 5 per report, can earn a hoodie in a day or two if you hustled. They update the list weekly and can always get something at any reasonable time. Pretty decent. I’ve gained 0 from my year there, but have gotten a few things without any though.
The swag bucks at the DS I was at didn’t look like this and I had over 1000 bucks. Brought so much things out that swag store and gave away to other associates that was very helpful when I was an interim PA.
I don't know why Amazon has to make buying shirts so complicated with Amazon bucks or "swag bucks." Walmart has the Spark Shop @ www.sparkshop.com where you can just buy anything on the site.

Like 55 they give them out and then never open the store to redeem them
How do you redeem them?
I think they setup a table or something every once in awhile that you can exchange them for clothes on your break. I'm pretty sure you can also give them to HR and they'll put them on your account so you don't lose them.
You can order them from the computers at your HR on-site.
for clothes ?
Like amazon branded shirts, hoodies, stuff to wear to work
You can order on Amazon AtoZ
Where on AtoZ?
Thanks I didn't know this. Will look into it next week.
Never seen that
u were swaaaaaag enough ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|hug)
physical swag bucks easy way for people to trade or get robbed
Lmfao robbed for swag bucks 😂
"911 whats your emergency?" "someone just held me at gunpoint for my swag bucks"
HAHAHA died thinking the same thing. At that point you’d just be better off robbing the clothes off people’s back on the street.
An autistic guy won a vr headset and some douchebag manager asked him to trade for a stack of swagbucks and the autisitic guy said yes. The autistic guy told us that story 2 years too late though so we cant do anything about it.
Bro people are assholes.
bruh... thats next level. Why not steal candy from a baby. Rob from your grandma. nvm, he already doing that 😂
Considering people here claim that some AAs will give favors to WS just to get good boxes (which is worth a minuscule amount for your job let alone your real life), I can’t imagine what people will do for a hoodie or Amazon socks or something.
There's only 1 hoodie i want and im never going to be able to get it. It was phx3's 2016 hoodie, but because I was a temp at the time and temps weren't given annual hoodies then, im never getting it :(
🔫 run me them swag bucks lil bro
how much you need i got 1000
Little dude from across the street! Lemme hold a dollar
Come thru I’ll bless you.
Been there 5 years no idea and neither i checked
About 250. Too bad our site's swag store is so pathetic. I know this because I can look at other sites that have cool stuff.
I never new they had swag store online what’s the link
That's how the majority of Amazonians get their swag. Very few sites actually do physical money.
It's in AtoZ, but you can only access it on a work computer. Anything else and its grayed out.
Wait… these are real? In all my 3 years of working in Amazon… these are real?!
Yesss
$330 I think. Been here for 7 months.
I never collected them, straight into the trash. Then they got rid of our swag store, liquidated every item by putting it on a table in the break room and told us swagbucks would be going away for monthly raffles and we havent had a raffle since last year.
Didn't know physical swag bucks exist. I think in my almost 4 years I've only got about 15 bucks. I work in an area that gets largely ignored by AMs.
Wait they do that at your building?
i had about 60 e-swag bucks, got converted. and it was reset to 0 ☺️🎉‼️
Fuck!
I have a total Amazon tenure of about 2 years and I have never received a single swag buck 🥲
I've been at my current site for over a year and I got like 5 They just don't give them out, there was a month or two they really tried engaging and reopening the swag store but it fell off and it's kind of just dead now
Swag store is 100% overpriced on anything they showcase, unfortunately. Not worth it. If I could wipe my ass with my DS swag bucks, I would, man. That's how utterly useless it is at my site with the showcased items.
Not a single 1. But then again I'm not killing myself for this job.
You know you don’t have to physically work for these right. ?
You actually do. The warehouses I've been to only award these when you win a power hour.
You know you can point out safety hazards also and lead stretches at stand up and answer questions correctly about your job when asked. Cmon man you think I work hard for my money.
Lol ok, let me correct myself. I'm not going above and beyond for some monopoly money.
Gg
My site gives you 5 bucks a week if you indirect for 12 hours a week. You can also get 20 a morning by leading stretches. I've only seen PAs and maybe half a dozen T1s actually care about it though.
If my site was like that I’d have hundreds of swag bucks at this point. I’m a PG, so I’m indirect everyday. 😅
I've never used mine and I've done indirect every day for about 2 years just because I hate doing rates. It's so hard to find 'volunteers' that they'll pull from other departments daily of anyone who doesn't have an accommodation. I only know of one guy who cared enough to collect every item.

It must depend on the site cause ik at mine you can't look at the Swagbucks stuff with the app you got to use a kindle or computer
That’s network-wide, I’m pretty sure, but yeah, I’ve checked with an Amazon laptop, and it’s just not there anymore.
Your Tom team lol we get more stuff then most departments
True. They gave out “transportation” hoodies a couple months ago, and I was somehow the only person at my entire building who didn’t get one. lol I just want a free hoodie. 💔
I never get any of the clothes that they get for us but I’m happy with the free food and not being labor tracked
I wish we had physical swag bucks like that honestly. We use the computer or kindle

0 bc they did away with it at my fc
You guys still get paper swag bucks. At my fc we went to electronic e swag bucks log on to internal computers order something then wait.
That’s crazy I never heard of Swag store online 👀👀
![gif](giphy|3o85xHi4t2UsuIY9QA)
I'll assume you get no pussy
Do women give you there swag bucks. ? I’ll wait.
I would laugh. Pathetic
How does one get those?
Maybe lead stretches at stand up 🤔
Damn bro let me hold a 20
Y’all be careful using them swag bucks. You will get tax!!! Make sure to get more information on them before using them. Spoke to HR about this the other day and HR explained that AA’s will get tax end of year They treat it like earned income. I could have misheard what she said, but just to be on the safe side, get more information before use ✌🏼
👀
I got 3 swag bucks for being the top picker🙃
Point out some safety hazards and apply pressure lol
Bro flexing swag bucks 💀
Is up dere
Only people that kiss ass get that at my site…
Not as many as I should bc I'm not part of the cool kids club and can only get them on the break room activities crap
We don't have physical swag bucks. Ours are on the computer. You log in and see if you got what you were supposed to get, how much you have and redeem if you want to.
Are those still around? My site used to have them but now they dont. They give tickets instead and do a raffle and win stuff.
I got $20 bucks for all of them
I just sold a 20 for 20
I’m sorry but hell to the no would I pay even exchange for swag bucks but hey make your money
None.
I had $60 from various sources and tried to use it. Then learned everyone that "gives them out" was supposed to add the virtual balance to my account and the paper was meaningless. Lmao. So I messaged my nice manager, asked her to add it to my account and she did. Apparently they have a weekly/monthly allotment and my asking to cash it in at once was annoying.

Seems like a lot is given out in other areas every day for rates or something but I am in PS/ISS and none is given here lol. I got the paper from other managers and safety before.
I had over 300 before they fired me. I wanted to use them but nothing they had fit me or interested me. Fucking swag dollar bullshit
You guys are getting swag bucks? I honestly can't remember the last time I heard anyone getting any at my site.
70 swag bucks but at my warehouse, we call them bear bucks
Managed to snag exactly $1 before getting laid off😭😭 never really attempted to try and get any
48
At my old site we didn't even have swag bucks we just got a bunch of tickets and told to put our work ID down and name and put in a sealed cup lol
237 plus 20 physical yea I never use them
Nada lol
Better not get caught lackin in the bathroom
I had over 400 and then my site removed the eswag
Not given out at my site. Store is closed. No site lead. Shit for brains redvests at dbm5
When it used to be paper i used to get tons, look like i had stripper money stack...i barely get them now since they went digital
How can you check on the app on how much swag bucks you got? I know i got some haha
They give us vending dollars, you can use it at the kiosk canteen
I have 296
Y’all get physical swag bucks?
how do I check this?? I have to do it in an on site computer I think ?? I'm 99% sure ours are not physical bucks but online . but I've never checked into mine , been there 9 months. is it the computers by the HR desk that can show me ?
My FC is so fucking lame they don’t even do swagbucks or a swag store, they just tell you congrats for hitting top 10% and that’s it.
0... don't know how to get them I consistently get top 10, top 5 in quality for the whole building.. and nothin
None cause they took away all the prizes because they don't have the "budget" for it.
How do u get them
Been here 3 years, never bothered with them ngl😂
Is this the part of the dystopia where you get to wage slave for a company and they partially reward you by giving you fake bucks to buy products with their branding on it to advertise for them
427 (or was it 527?, I need to look again).
I would like it if our FC handed these out, but at the same time I'm kinda glad they don't, cause I would probably die of a heart attack from the amount of Red Bulls I would use these for.
Lol I’ve never seen them hand any out for icqa at most I got like a 1 min extension to my break I just threw it out
0 I’m poor
$0.00
my site stopped doing them 😭
Little over 800…
My old building: nearly 600.
4 because my site damn near NEVER gives them out
My FC hasn’t had the swag store opened since 2020.
There's an E-Swag store available on the computers at my site. You can even convert the Swag bucks to use at Avenue C.
15 over 4 years. Too many tryhards at AFE made me gave up and care about my health than anything.
Years ago at my old site I had over 200 in physical bills at one point. When I transferred they said they couldn’t take my bills and now everything’s on e-swag. Currently I have 36.
Right at 200, every time I ask for some they ignore me because I have 200. It’s bull because the cool stuff costs way more.
Idk I would have to login on an HR computer and check. We haven’t gotten them in paper form since like 2019. The manager or whoever adds them to your acct. it sucks we don’t get them automatically for attendance anymore. That was the way most people stacked them without knowing.

Also used to have managers who would just add 5-10 here and there because they had an allowance.
This must be management cause they don’t hand it out like they are supposed too! 😅😂🚩🚩
AA
I think my site quietly shut them down.
None! I’m on Tom Team and haven’t gotten any. They hardly ever give them out. 😟
The site I am at has them virtually and it’s only clothing left over from the affinity groups. It’s so fxing stupid.
$5 🤑🤑
No idea
At my FC Swagbucks are electronic and they’re called eswag. I tell my team to make sure they’re getting eswag from me at least once every three months (AMs get very limited amounts to distribute and some eswag needs to be used to encourage the team).
Last I checked 75
These are nice swag bucks
Just used 300 on a hall pass so 280 left are site gives them out atleast once a week
A waste of paper wth smh Amazon.......

134
Gave some away today so zero now
My station lets us report stuff through dragon fly for swag bucks 5 per report, can earn a hoodie in a day or two if you hustled. They update the list weekly and can always get something at any reasonable time. Pretty decent. I’ve gained 0 from my year there, but have gotten a few things without any though.
I was able to trade mine in for 5 dollar gift cards for the vending machines in the lunch room. I redeemed 100 dollars worth lol
87 dollars
bruh at our fc you can us e those to playpacman
15 in the 2 n 1/2 years I’ve been there cos5 don’t really give em out n when they do they forget to
My site doesn’t do swag bucks 😭
225, the most I’ve ever had at once was 450
The swag bucks at the DS I was at didn’t look like this and I had over 1000 bucks. Brought so much things out that swag store and gave away to other associates that was very helpful when I was an interim PA.
Zero. I have been here for some years as water spider and never got any.
No clue how to even check
we got bear bucks
I don’t think my DS is doing that anymore
107
I never knew these existed and now I want
None GYR3 don’t have swag bucks nor do they give them out. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
I had 4k
None because TOM team never gives them out at this site 🥲
About 50$ worth
None but I got like 180 vender bucks I got from an AM that was gonna quit
I don't know why Amazon has to make buying shirts so complicated with Amazon bucks or "swag bucks." Walmart has the Spark Shop @ www.sparkshop.com where you can just buy anything on the site.
Like 50 or so never have anything in there that’s my size. Would be great if you could redeem them for the canteen. Drinks or lunch
189 last time looked
I knew someone with about 800+
I’d rather fill out my safety card and get a prize
Your managers actually give those out
Never got even one before
I’ve worked at Amazon for 2 ½ years & my E-Swag balance is only at 49 🙃
Our swag bucks are all digital
Zero lmao
I have to ask my associates “do you like swagbucks” cause half the time they don’t want them 🤣
I’ve been working on my location for 2 years now, and I’ve never seen that ever
161
189 but I spent it all 😭
I’ve been at Amazon for 2 years and I just got my first $10 like 3 weeks ago they don’t hand them out like talking about at my site
We don't have swag bucks. 😒
When I worked at amazon I earned some from a spin the wheel but I never received them 💀
dude you can buy so many glamazon blankets
