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

Hideout.tv is a video streaming site which rewards you with points whenever you watch one of the adverts they show between videos.

These points can then be converted into the tokens used by income sites such as Swagbucks.

The conversion rate between Hideout.tv points and cashback sites tends to be very low so it’s a site that’s probably only worth using if you genuinely enjoy watching the videos.

Many more reviews available here.

New round of Swago available + Spin and Win!

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.

The wheel below is taken from a previous “Spin and win” and may not represent what’s available this time around.

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 #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.

 

 

New round of Swago now available on Swagbucks

This event has now finished.

This round of Swago has a high 300 SB prize for completing the board.

Partially completed Swago 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.

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!
