Swagbucks
Swagbucks is a system that lets you earn points which you can then spend on gift cards from Amazon etc, or cash back from PayPal. It’s as simple as that. Here are ten easy ways you can earn points, and make some extra cash.
10 ways to earn on Swagbucks
- Trial Amazon Prime for 30 days. This one really is a no-brainer. You can earn a load of SB points simply by watching great films and TV shows for a month. Catch Amazon’s new smash-hit Superhero satire, The Boys, or watch any of their original content like Beautiful Boy or The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Seriously, you get all of this free for 30 days and a load of points. Win, win, and win.
- Take a 3 minute survey. Got some spare time while you’re waiting at the tills at the supermarket or queuing at your usual lunchtime bistro, well why not use that time productively and fill out a survey? It takes just 3 minutes!
- Get paid to book a holiday. Swagbucks partnered with Booking.com which means for every £1 you spend through their website you get 3 SB points, that can mean a big reward if you are booking a big summer holiday or winter break.
- Watch videos. That’s right you can earn SB points simply by sitting down, getting comfortable and watching a load of great content. Ever made an easier buck?
- Buy a new phone. Carphone Warehouse are also involved with Swagbucks, so you can get a great new phone and when you buy it you’ll get credited SB points, so it’s basically like saving money from your purchase.
- Answer a 15 minute survey. This one is perfect for your morning commute. Fancy turning that wasted time as you hoist yourself to work into something a lot more productive. You could take a 15 minute survey, the perfect length to fill out on the go.
- Play a mobile game. There are a load of games on your phone that you can get SB points for through Swagbucks. For example, you could play World War Rising on your iPhone. After you hit a certain level you’ll get your points credited to your account. Perfect if you need that extra bit of motivation to hit a new high score.
