This event has now finished.
This round of Swago seems fairly straightforward to complete, mainly just requiring you to visit websites and in some cases activate the SwagButton banner. The most difficult items require the redemption of a gift card and a Swag code.

Swagbucks is one of the longest running reward websites. It has its own digital currency, unsurprisingly called Swagbucks, which you can earn in a very large number of ways. This currency can then be redeemed for cash or gift cards.

The main ways of earning currency are:
You can also upload your receipts to earn additional currency – although I can’t take part in this myself as it’s not currenly available in the UK.
The Swagbucks team offer an associated mobile app on Android and iOS, and also offer the SwagButton which is a browser extension that gives easy access to each of the main categories and alerts you if a particular website offers Swagbucks on sign up or purchase.

Update: The minimum payout amount has risen from 50p to £1 since this article was written.
App Flame 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 App Flame account.
A signup reward of 5555 tokens is offered which means that you generally only need to play for a fairly short time to earn a 50p payout (available at 6399 tokens).
App Flame 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.

Prolific is a service which helps researchers find participants for their studies. The studies are all carried out on computer via the Prolific website and do not require either the researcher or participant to travel to participate. Participants are paid varying amounts for taking part.
When new studies are available these will be shown on the site homepage or you will sometime be alerted via E-Mail.
I feel that the pay tends to be quite fair and the amount of effort is generally fairly limited. I can confirm that the site is legitimate, having received a single payout for a number of studies I took part in.
Payment is processed using either Paypal or Circle. If you choose to receive your payment via either service there may be a fee involved.
If you enjoy Prolific you might also want to check out Swagbucks.

Interested in making money playing games? Many more reviews available here.
Mistplay is a service which pays you for playing games. At the time of writing it’s only available for Android devices.
You longer you play, the more Units you earn which can be exchanged for gift vouchers or prepaid virtual Visa cards.
I have found that you don’t make a lot of money but some of the games are fun and earning Units can be a nice side effect of playing. I can confirm that Mistplay does pay out as I’ve obtained several Amazon vouchers from them.
