What is Swago?

What is Swagbucks?.

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.

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.

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!

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.

 

 

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!

Swagbucks Tip #1 : Keep some Swagbucks for events

~ sparetimeincome ~ 2 Comments
Note: Links may award me referral rewards such as in-app points or money.

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

The Swagbucks team periodically release Swago boards which allow you to earn additional Swagbucks usually fairly easily. It’s often the case that one of the squares requires you to redeem a gift card. Keeping some Swagbucks in your account allows you to easily fulfil what would otherwise be one of the more difficult squares to complete.

The Easter 2019 Swago Board

I discuss the most recent Swago event (now finished) here.

Another, potentially bigger reason to keep some handy is for when Swagbucks augment a game of Swago with their “Spin and Win”. Spins are earned by completing squares on the Swago board. There are often “rebates” offered where you get a certain number of Swagbucks back when redeeming a gift card. If you’re lucky enough to win several rebates you can use them to make your Swagbucks stretch further. These rebates tend to expire within a few days so unless you’ve stored a cache for events you may not be able to use all of your available rebates.
