Swagbucks

Summary

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

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.

The main ways of earning currency are:

  • Watching Videos
  • Answering surveys
  • Shopping
  • “Discovering” products and services
  • Web searches

You can also upload your receipts to earn additional currency – although I can’t take part in this myself as it’s not currenly available in the UK.

The Swagbucks team offer an associated mobile app on Android and iOS, and also offer the SwagButton which is a browser extension that gives easy access to each of the main categories and alerts you if a particular website offers Swagbucks on sign up or purchase.

Prolific

Summary

Update: Prolific have announced that they’ll be discontinuing their use of Circle Pay on 26th June 2019. PayPal withdrawals will become fee free!

Prolific is a service which helps researchers find participants for their studies. The studies are all carried out on computer via the Prolific website and do not require either the researcher or participant to travel to participate. Participants are paid varying amounts for taking part.

When new studies are available these will be shown on the site homepage or you will sometime be alerted via E-Mail.

I feel that the pay tends to be quite fair and the amount of effort is generally fairly limited. I can confirm that the site is legitimate, having received a single payout for a number of studies I took part in.

Payment is processed using either Paypal or Circle. If you choose to receive your payment via either service there may be a fee involved.

If you enjoy Prolific you might also want to check out Swagbucks.
