Last time I introduced you Swagbucks, and specifically the apps that help you earn points with little to no effort. Today, I'll tell you about other things you can do to earn additional points on Swagbucks. All of these tactics will help you rack up those gift cards even quicker!
1.) SEARCH - As I told you earlier, Swagbucks began as a Google competitor and it still works well for Internet searching. Every 4th-8th search will earn you a handful of Swagbucks (you'll know because you'll get a celebratory screen that informs you of your winnings. For a non-gambler like me, this makes me feel like I just cashed on some slot machine. It's the little things, people.) These wins usually require you to enter a Capcha so they know you aren't a bot.
2.) SWAG CODES - Every day, Swagbucks releases a code or two (or occasionally, even more than that) that can be entered into the Swag Code box near the upper right of your main screen. It looks like this:
The SB people release their codes in various places (their blog, their FB page, etc.) but not even I have time to constantly check all those places to see if I code is posted. I recommend signing up with Swagcode Spoiler so that you will get an email or tweet whenever a new code is released. Sign up here.
3.) SURVEYS - Since SB exists by selling data, it makes sense that they would use another method of data generation to earn more points. These are surveys about products you use, travel, political opinions - pretty much anything and everything. At the top of your SB homepage, you'll see a menu option "Answer." A drop down from there takes you to "Paid Surveys". Gold Surveys and Survey Dashboard are both good places to find surveys that usually pay you anywhere between 50-250 points for successful completion. I usually have no problems earning an additional 100 points per day with surveys.
Some things to know about these surveys. First, the disqualification rate on them is HIGH! They are looking for certain demographics for each survey, so after answering a few questions, you might get bumped from the survey. The good (???) news is that you get one SB for your effort if that happens. The bad news is that it can get frustrating. Don't get discouraged - just move on to the next one. You aren't doing anything wrong. I personally like to do these while I am watching some mindless TV (like Real Housewives of Orange County. Yes, I am lame like that.). Second, like lots of things in life, the honest people have to pay the price for the losers out there. In the past, some people haven't taken the surveys seriously and just answered them any old way without reading them. As a result of this, most of these surveys have some internal checks built into them to kick out the people who aren't actually giving them usable answers. This means you'll get questions like "How many wheels does a bicycle have?" or questions about places you've visiting which include choices like "Neptune" or "Middle Earth". It's weird and it makes the surveys longer, but that's what's going on. I know I wouldn't have ANY blog readers who would try to game the system, but just in case some ne'er-do-well found their way here, be warned that they can terminate your account for inconsistent answers to these surveys. Don't get cute.
There are a zillion other ways to earn on SB, but these are the ones that are the most consistent and easiest. Feel free to poke around the site and ask any questions in the comments about other ways to earn.
