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

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.

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.

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!

Swagbucks Tip #2 : Swago

Swago is a game which is periodically run by the Swagbucks team and is similar in nature to Bingo (hence the name).

Swagbucks is discussed in much more detail in my blog article.

Swago gives you the opportunity to earn additional Swagbucks by completing items from a grid. These often require visiting certain websites but can also involve more involved steps such as redeeming gift cards or inviting other people to the service. You can submit your board by forming certain patterns (e.g. a cross shape or a line) to gain Swagbucks but your board can only be submitted once.

I enjoy Swago as it usually offers a fairly quick way to increase your total. It is usually worth saving enough Swagbucks to redeem a small gift card as this is often one of the harder items to tick off.

Occasionally a Swago board will be issued which has a significantly higher maximum reward (e.g. 300 SBs). In these instances they usually require referring a friend to the site, and the referral must take place during the period that the board is active. If you know anyone who may be interested in the site now is a good time to approach them :-).
