SwagBucks review time! This is one of the best (if not the best) rewards site out there. Period. Members earn points called Swagbucks (or bucks for short) to redeem for digital and physical prizes. Prizes include PayPal cash, gift cards, prepaid cards, etc.
Here are the many ways to earn…
- Surfing the web
- Earning from referral searches
- Watching videos on the website
- Watching videos on their many mobile apps
- Viewing offers (once daily)
- Completing offers
- Participating in free trials
- Viewing a list of trusted surveys (once daily)
- Completing surveys
- Printing and using coupons
- Shopping online through selected stores
- Visiting their blog, Facebook and Twitter pages for free codes
- Installing and keeping their toolbar (1 buck a day bonus)
- Using codes from their toolbar’s message box
- Answering daily polls
- Viewing special offers on the front page
- Winning in contests
- Daily task bonuses
My most favorite way to earn is by using their 6 mobile apps (run only 2 at a time or else you’ll get banned!).
- SB Watch
- EntertaiNow
- Lifestylz
- Movie Cli.ps
- Sportly
- IndyMusic
I personally have the first 3 installed on one phone and the other 3 on another phone. Both phones are cheap $10 devices I got on special years ago. They’re only dedicated to running SwagBucks apps.
TIP: If you have two phones, I recommend doing this to avoid getting banned:
Phone 1: Run Swagbucks Watch (TV), earn the maximum points, then switch to EntertaiNow. Earn the max you can on that, then switch to Lifestylz.tv and do the same.
Phone 2: Follow the examples above but with Indymusic.tv, Sportly.tv, and MovieCli.ps.
Do not include a third phone to make things faster. And to avoid mistakes, don’t install the same apps on all your phones!
Depending on the season, they all earn as low as $0.30 in total together but as high as $0.80. Though this could vary depending on your location.
These apps run passively. But some babysitting is required from time to time as advertisements exhaust throughout the day per app.
These apps are also buggy, though. Sometimes they’ll just freeze and need restarting.
Pros
Fantastic reward site that always delivers faster than their deadlines. There are around 20 ways to earn bucks (points) here. It also has a toolbar for those that like searching faster, being informed of their status and want to be alerted of temporary codes (for bonus bucks). Not to mention the best passive apps (now that Perk is dead). SwagBucks is fantastic for earning prepaid Visa cards Amazon gift cards!
Cons
It has become a lot harder to earn bucks since early 2018. Gone are the days when making $5 (or more) a day was easy. Now it’s just like all other GPTs, except better (thanks to the apps).
Conclusion
Swagbucks is still one of the very best GPTs out there. As mentioned in the pros and cons, SwagBucks has become more stingy on giving points through searching, but it has also increased ways to earn. It’s thanks to the video apps that I still earn my $30 a month, easily. But these methods benefit few, but may frustrate many.
