YouGov

Summary

Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

YouGov is a public opinion gathering platform where people can give and discuss their opinions on the issues of the day. Surveys are offered periodically which can be completed to earn money or entries into prize draws.

YouGov pays out £50 once you have collected 5000 points. Each survey is generally worth 50 points so you have to complete around 100 surveys, with each survey taking roughly 10-15 minutes to complete.

The YouGov app is available on Android and iOS, which can be helpful as it notifies you whenever a new survey is released.

Swagbucks Tip #7 : Swagbucks Local

If you’re unfamiliar with Swagbucks, I discuss it in much more detail in my blog article.

Swagbucks local allows you to earn Swagbucks when shopping in physical shops and is available on iOS and Android. Unfortunately for me, this only appears to be available in parts of the USA but for anyone in the US it’s probably worth a look!

Additional information can be found at the following two blog posts:

Swagbucks Tip #6 : Daily earning opportunities

If you’re unfamiliar with Swagbucks, I discuss it in much more detail in my blog article.

There are a number of daily earning opportunities you can take advantage of on Swagbucks.

Daily “Discovers”

One easy way to boost your points is to complete the flight search tasks within the “Discover” section of the site. Each only take a minute, pays out 1 SB each and can be completed every day!

To-Do List

You can earn additional SBs by:

  • Completing 6 out of 8 To-Do tasks (currently pays 1-4 SBs)
  • Completing all 8 To-Do tasks (currently pays 6 SBs)

Note: Swagbucks currently has a promotion (in the UK at least) on their To-Do list payouts so the above amounts may change in future.

Daily Poll

Earn 1 SB a day by answering the daily poll (available via the “Answer” section of the site).

Swag Codes

Swag codes are released almost every day and are usually worth 2 or 3 SBs. Personally I use the Swagbutton as it alerts me to new Swag codes and makes it easy for me to view and submit them.

 

 

Cash Alarm

Summary

Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

If you’ve used App Flame or Fitplay then all you need to know is it’s basically the same app with different branding. Even the 5555 token signup bonus is the same. If you haven’t used either of these apps, please read on :-).

Cash Alarm is one of many apps available on Android which reward you with tokens for playing games. These tokens can then be exchanged for PayPal payments, Amazon vouchers and a number of other rewards.

The games available tend to change fairly often but you will still be able to earn tokens for playing previously offered games provided you have already downloaded and linked the game to your Cash Alarm account.

As with App Flame and Fitplay you earn a signup reward of 5555 tokens when you sign up, although it may take a little until you’ve accrued enough to cashout as the minimum cashout amount recently changed to £1 (12669 tokens).

Cash Alarm is great if you get lucky and find something you love playing, but if the games you find are not to your taste then I think it’s probably not worthwhile continuing as the payout is so low.

New round of Swago now available on Swagbucks

swago-may

What is Swago?

What is Swagbucks?.

This event has now finished.

This round of Swago has a high 300 SB prize for completing the board.

Partially completed Swago Board

This round is trickier which makes sense as the maximum reward is much higher than usual. There are still the usual requirements to visit websites, and in some cases activate the SwagButton banner. The most difficult to complete is probably the requirement to refer a new user to the site and to earn referral rewards from them.

TopCashback

Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

Summary

TopCashback rewards you with real cash for making your purchases through them. It’s completely free.

Cashback can be either withdrawn as cash (via PayPal or BACS) or as gift cards by depositing your cashback into your “Reward Wallet”. TopCashback give you a bonus for withdrawing as gift cards, with the total bonus varying based on shop.

Swagbucks Tip #5 : Team Challenges

If you’re unfamiliar with Swagbucks, I discuss it in much more detail in my blog article.

The Swagbucks team periodically run team challenges where, once signed up, you are allocated to a team and you can begin earning points by completing surveys, “discovering” offers and many other things.

Ways to earn points during the Spring event

If you earn more than a specified number of points over the course of the event you’ll receive a reward, with the reward you receive depending on how well your team as a whole performed.

The rewards issued vary by event. See my previous post about the Spring team challenge for an example of the rules and potential prizes offered for taking part.

One easy way to boost your points is to complete the flight search tasks within the “Discover” section of the site. Although these are only worth 1 SB each, they tend to add a significant number of points (20 in the Spring 2019 event). The best thing is that you can complete these tasks every day!
