Mistplay has recently released a major update to its service.
Note: At the time of writing this hasn’t been rolled out to all users so you may not see the changes for a little while.
In addition to the features mentioned in my review the app now supports daily play streaks, contests, a dedicated tab for game badges (achievements) and a “bonus” page.

Sweatcoin is an iPhone and Android app which pays you in tokens to walk. These tokens can be exchanged for prizes which vary over time. Interestingly the Sweatcoin team plan to transform their currency into a real tradeable cryptocurrency which would be interesting if/when that happens.
Be warned that the Sweatcoin app is a potential battery drain but the effects seem to vary from phone to phone.

This round of Swago has a 300 SB maximum bonus and includes the popular “Spin and Win”. Spins are earned by completing squares on the Swago board. If you manage to complete the entire board you’ll earn 50 spins!
There are often “rebates” offered where you get a certain number of Swagbucks back when redeeming a gift card. There are also huge SB bonuses as well as a number of smaller (but still worthwhile) options.
See Swagbucks Tip #1 for my discussion of why it’s worthwhile to stockpile some SBs for event like this.
The wheel below is taken from a previous “Spin and win” and may not represent what’s available this time around.
If you’re unfamiliar with Swagbucks, I discuss it in much more detail in my blog article.
The Swagbucks Tutti Frutti team challenge is now available. Once signed up here, you will be allocated to a team and you can begin earning points. If you earn 600 or more 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 Swagbucks team describe it as follows:
All members who participate and contribute at least 600 points to their team’s total will receive a SB bonus in the form of a SB Swag Up Rebate! Members of the 1st place team will receive a 100 SB Swag Up Rebate, members of the 2nd place team will receive a 50 SB Swag Up Rebate, members of the 3rd place team will receive a 25 SB Swag Up Rebate, and members of the 4th place team will receive a 10 SB Swag Up Rebate. The Swag Up Rebate will be made available by June 15th at 4PM BST and expires on June 30th at 7:59AM BST.
You can accrue points in the following ways:

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 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:

There are a number of daily earning opportunities you can take advantage of on Swagbucks.
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!
You can earn additional SBs by:
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.
Earn 1 SB a day by answering the daily poll (available via the “Answer” section of the site).
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.

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.

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!
