This round of Swago has a high 300 SB prize for completing the board.
This round is trickier which makes sense as the maximum reward is much higher than usual. There are still the usual requirements to visit websites, and in some cases activate the SwagButton banner. The most difficult to complete is probably the requirement to refer a new user to the site and to earn referral rewards from them.
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!
Update: This has since been extended to the United Kingdom! Read about it here.
I’ve just discovered via Twitter that Swagbucks allow you to upload your receipts for SBs via the “Answer” smartphone app. Unfortunately, it’s only available in the US and Canada at the moment so I can’t use it but it sounds like a good way to make a few extra SBs.
Does anyone use this service? Do you think it’s worthwhile?

The Swagbucks Spring 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 on May 21st and expires on June 2nd at 7:59AM BST
You can accrue points in the following ways:

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.
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).

This round of Swago is very similar to the last one and seems fairly straightforward to complete, mainly just requiring you to visit websites and in some cases activate the SwagButton banner. The most difficult items require the redemption of a gift card and a Swag code.
Swago is a game which is periodically run by the Swagbucks team and is similar in nature to Bingo (hence the name).
Swagbucks is discussed in much more detail in my blog article.
Swago gives you the opportunity to earn additional Swagbucks by completing items from a grid. These often require visiting certain websites but can also involve more involved steps such as redeeming gift cards or inviting other people to the service. You can submit your board by forming certain patterns (e.g. a cross shape or a line) to gain Swagbucks but your board can only be submitted once.
I enjoy Swago as it usually offers a fairly quick way to increase your total. It is usually worth saving enough Swagbucks to redeem a small gift card as this is often one of the harder items to tick off.
Occasionally a Swago board will be issued which has a significantly higher maximum reward (e.g. 300 SBs). In these instances they usually require referring a friend to the site, and the referral must take place during the period that the board is active. If you know anyone who may be interested in the site now is a good time to approach them :-).

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.
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.
