Tutti Frutti Team Challenge

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.

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

~ sparetimeincome ~ Leave a comment

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!

Swagbucks Tip #6 : Daily earning opportunities

~ sparetimeincome ~ 1 Comment

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!

Complete these easy tasks 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.

Swagbucks Tip #5 : Team Challenges

~ sparetimeincome ~ Leave a comment

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!

Job Spotter

Summary

Update 2: Due to the coronovirus pandemic JobSpotter have suspended operations. More details are available here.

Update: unfortunately the sign verification feature has now been removed. However, the rest of the app still works as before.
Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

Job Spotter is an app which 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.

I love this app; it’s fun and can be quite lucrative!

Swagbucks Tip #3 : Sniping

~ sparetimeincome ~ Leave a comment

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

If your experience is anything like mine you’ll likely be rejected from a fairly large percentage of the Swagbucks surveys you take part in. Personally, I don’t think this is necessarily such a bad thing.

Unless explicitly marked, all surveys which reject you will pay out a number of Swagbucks in line with the amount of time you spent completing the survey. If you get screened out pretty much straight away you’ll receive 1 SB.

Sniping 1 Swagbuck

I try to use this high incidence of rejection to my advantage by “sniping” Swagbucks. This involves getting my phone out while on my way somewhere or when bored and entering surveys. If I’m lucky I can make a few Swagbucks in very little time and then carry on with my day.

Of course, you could find yourself accepted into the main survey at which point you have to decide whether you have the time and inclination to complete it.

This obviously won’t make you rich but they do add up and supplement your regular activities (surveys, games, shopping etc).

Fitplay

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

Update: The minimum payout amount has risen from 50p to £1 since this article was written.

If you’ve read my review of App Flame then this review will seem extremely familiar. That’s because it’s essentially the same app but with different branding.

Fitplay 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 Fitplay account.

As with App Flame you earn a signup reward of 5555 tokens when you sign up which means that you generally only need to play for a fairly short time to earn a 50p payout (available at 6399 tokens).

Fitplay 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.
