Swagbucks Tip #11 : Safer Signup to free trials

~ sparetimeincome ~ Leave a comment

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

You can often earn a significant number of points on Swagbucks and Treasure Trooper by signing up to free trials but this generally requires you to specify a credit card. This can be nerve-wracking if you’re not 100% sure the site is trustworthy.

One way of limiting the risk is to use a virtual MasterCard with only a small amount of money associated with it. Virtual MasterCards work identically to standard credit cards except that they’re limited in value.

One way of obtaining these is by redeeming Swagbucks for them as explained here.

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

Treasure trooper today launched their January 2020 event. For every $1 you earn you’ll receive a raffle ticket. Once 25 tickets have been earned by anyone on the site one ticket will be chosen and the winner earns $5. The catch is that you need to claim the prize within 10 minutes or you lose it.

My Top 3 Money Making Apps of 2019

TopCashback

TopCashback rewards you with real cash for making your purchases through them. The best part is that it’s completely free.

The only downside is that it can take a long time for the cashback to become payable so it’s important not to rely on the money for anything important.

Job Spotter

Job Spotter is an app by Indeed, the popular job listing site. It allows you to submit photographs of job adverts in the windows of businesses. These are submitted for points which can be exchanged for Amazon vouchers. You can also earn for verifying the submissions of other people.

This is a fantastic app which is usually fun and often quite lucrative!

Note: There have been reports of Job Spotter not paying out for long periods recently. Hopefully whatever the issue is will blow over soon but it’s worth bearing in mind if you’re considering using the app for the first time.

Payments now appear to be working normally. I received an overdue payment a few days ago.

Swagbucks

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.

Treasure Trooper Winner Wonderland Contest & Christmas Dragon up for grabs!

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

Winner Wonderland Treasure Trooper 2019

Treasure Trooper have a new contest each month. This time it’s Christmas themed and you can win prizes by completing offers. There are 25 prizes on offer ranging from a Nintendo Switch to 3 Gold Coins.

If you’re not already a member of Treasure Trooper, if you sign up via my referral link you’ll receive a $5 starting bonus rather than the $1 you receive if you sign up normally. I’ll also get you as a referral.

Here’s the detail from the contest page:

Our popular “Winner Wonderland” contest is back this year with all new amazing prizes! The top 25 earners on TreasureTrooper, during the month of December, will win the prizes listed below, but BEWARE… you are not guaranteed to get the prize listed next to your name. The top earner will have first pick of all the prizes and on down the line. Want to guarantee you get the prize you want? Aim for first place!*. If you would prefer, you can opt to receive the cash equivalent instead of the prize**. Platinum Coins will count as $1.00, Dragon Scales $0.15, and Arrowheads $0.01 towards your earnings.

As always, this contest has a twist. You will only be able to see everyone’s earnings on the leaderboard for the first and last five days of the month. For the rest of the month, you’ll see the standings, but not the actual dollar earnings. Yes, the suspense will be unbearable, so keep trucking along so you don’t get passed up!

To be eligible for this contest, you must have a forum account that is linked to your TreasureTrooper account from your My Profile page.

You also have the opportunity to claim a Christmas themed dragon by completing 90 cash offers and surveys.
