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

In previous posts I’ve discussed the Swagbucks receipt upload functionality which allows you to earn additional Swagbucks for uploading your receipts. Today I discovered that you can also submit online receipts by forwarding them to shoppingreceipts@swagbucks.com.

Only receipts from certain companies are accepted and unfortunately for me they all appear to be US based (the paper receipt functionality is available in a few countries however). Hopefully the list of supported companies will be expanded soon.

For a little while now whenever I visit Swagbucks I’m always pleased to see Userzoom surveys as they tend to be quite interesting and often take much less time than advertised.

Userzoom surveys usually ask you to navigate a website or application prototype and complete tasks like finding certain information or completing a form.

These surveys can usually be identified by checking for two things. Firstly, they are usually specified as taking 20 minutes and secondly they payout either 100 SB or 105 SB.

You can often earn a significant number of points on Swagbucks and Treasure Trooper by signing up to free trials but this generally requires you to specify a credit card. This can be nerve-wracking if you’re not 100% sure the site is trustworthy.

One way of limiting the risk is to use a virtual MasterCard with only a small amount of money associated with it. Virtual MasterCards work identically to standard credit cards except that they’re limited in value.

One way of obtaining these is by redeeming Swagbucks for them as explained here.

When redeeming your Swagbucks for gift cards it’s worthwhile seeing what’s currently on sale as you might end up getting a bit more for your hard earned points than you anticipated.

For example, I usually claim Amazon gift cards but occasionally virtual MasterCards have a larger discount so you can get the same value card for fewer points. Virtual MasterCards can be used to buy Amazon gift cards so with a small amount of additional work you can end up with the same prize for less.
