Swagbucks Update - My Warts 'n' All Summary

Today is the last day of the Tots 100 Swagbucks challenge.  I have spent 3 weeks conducting searches, watching videos, filling out surveys, playing games and performing tasks.  I've done some Christmas shopping online and even dabbled with a casino website (never, ever again on that one!!)  For doing all these things, I have been rewarded with enough Swagbucks to add £100 of Amazon vouchers to my Christmas spending fund.  That, by anyone's standards, is pretty easy money!

Sometimes, I'm not going to lie, Swagbucks can be a bit of a pain.  Somedays you get disqualified for every available survey.  Some special offers don't credit.  Some purchases fail to track. However, the customer service is very efficient and nearly every issue I have had has been resolved quickly.  As long as you keep confirmation emails or take screen shots as evidence, Swagbucks earned will be honoured.

There are lots of special offers to get extra Swagbucks which is a great way of getting started, but once you have done all the relevant ones, your potential to earn big quickly goes down.  Unless you like gambling, which is a sure fire way of getting lots of Swagbucks when you sign up and make a deposit to the csasino, bingo or scratchcard sites.  This is not for me though.

I will definitely continue with my Swagbucking, although on a lesser scale.  I will hit my daily targets which basically equates to one survey a day and a few extra bits which will add up to nice rewards throughout the year.  Everytime you hit a target you get a bonus which accumulates and gets credited once a month which is a good way of topping up your total.

Swagbucks UK is still in its early days compared to in America where people are earning huge amounts of Swagbucks and cashing them in for rewards galore.  So getting involved now may prove very lucrative in the long term.

As for the competition, it's still anyone's game.  I am doing well but know that the other challengers could well have lots of points pending which will put them into the winning spot.  Regardless of the end result, I still have a very nice £100 voucher coming my way so I have no complaints!

I definitely recommend Swagbucks to anyone who spends a lot of time online.  It's free to join, it's easy to do and it genuinely earns you rewards.  It takes a bit of effort, but I have genuinely enjoyed some of the more creative surveys I have done.

Earning Extra For Christmas With Swagbucks

I am one of the twelve bloggers who have agreed to take part in the Swagbucks Christmas Challenge with Tots 100.  We are being pitted against one another in a battle to earn the most Swagbucks before December 14th to win a £250 voucher!  Exciting stuff - I love a good challenge!

Up until a few days ago I'd never heard of Swagbucks.  It is an online rewards programme that allows you to earn Swagbucks for completing tasks online such as playing games, watching videos, carrying out surveys or simply doing your shopping!  SB's can be redeemed for shopping vouchers, gifts or even as charity donations.  Swagbucks is also a search engine and you can use it to search the internet.  Doing so rewards you with random Swagbucks pay outs.  You can also find special codes online to get extra SBs and join in with their Facebook page to win bonus points.

Swagbucks is huge in the US where users have earned lots of rewards for doing the sort of things they normally do online. They have paid out over $26m in rewards since 2007!  Now it's launched in the UK, it's our turn to reap the benefits of this site.  Thrifty internet users can easily clock up a heap of Swagbucks that they can swap for vouchers for Amazon, HMV or iTunes.  Every little helps and I'm looking forward to giving my family some extra treats with the Swagbucks I accrue.

One way of earning Swagbucks is through referrals.  So if you want to help me in this challenge, as well as setting up your own FREE Swagbucks account please click through here to set yourself up an account and start earning your own Swagbucks:  http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/wendymcd83

The website is full of ways of earning SBs and it is a little addictive, if like me you love the idea of getting vouchers for Amazon for free.  Watching your total go up is really quite a thrill!

Over the next three weeks I'll be keeping you all updated with my progress and sharing tips and hints to how you can boost your balance.  We can have our own Swagbucks community of thrifty bloggers!  So please join me and let's get earning.


I am being given some extra Swagbucks for taking part in this challenge!

Spend Vouchers, Get Rewards!

I have been a huge fan of  Tesco for many years, in particular their fantastic reward card and Clubcard Deals.  I not only regularly shop at Tesco, I also have a Tesco Credit Card and get my gas and electricity through E.ON (both earning me extra points) which means that my Clubcard points mount up very quickly.  Once you've collected 150 points, they will be converted into a voucher worth £1.50 which will be sent with your Clubcard statement.  These vouchers can be spent instore or online against your purchases or they can be redeemed against a huge array of Clubcard Rewards. Did you know that Clubcard vouchers are worth up to four times their value when exchanged for rewards meaning you can treat yourself and your family to extras such as days out and meals out...without it costing you a penny!

I love nothing more than going out and about with the children, but as a mum with five children, things like days out can prove incredibly expensive.  So every year I redeem my Clubcard points to get Merlin Annual Passes for the family.   This allows us all to visit Alton Towers, Legoland, Warwick Castle, Sea Life Centres, Chessington, Thorpe Park, Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussaud's and the London Eye as often as we like for a whole year!  It only costs £46.50 in Clubcard vouchers which is amazing value.  We get a full twelve months of theme parks and much more, which I would never be able to afford otherwise.  We've spent some lovely days enjoying all the attractions without having to worry about the cost!

Tesco Clubcard Vouchers can also be exchanged for rewards tokens to use at major restaurant chains such as Pizza Express, Bella Italia or Prezzo.  £10 in Clubard Vouchers can be redeemed for £40 in rewards tokens to feed the family at your restaurant of choice.  They can be used in full or part payment against your bill, so you can enjoy a slap up meal without eating up your cash. Or how about a cinema trip to Cineworld?  Just £4 in Clubcard Vouchers for an adult and £2.50 for a child's ticket means that watching the latest blockbuster movie does not end up costing a fortune.  

I really love the fact that I earn Clubcard points every time I shop which I can collect and then use to treat the family.  Other rewards include magazine subscriptions, spa vouchers, holidays, flights plus much, much more.  To start earning points with Tesco Clubcard you just need to go in store and complete a form or register online.  Visit Tesco Clubcard website for details on ways to collect points and also how to spend them.  Start collecting them now and soon you can be enjoying one of the great rewards on offer!  What will you spend yours on??
