11 ways to earn money on Swagbucks
Here are the best ways to earn money on Swagbucks:

Make Swagbucks your default search engine

The easiest way to start earning is to switch your default search engine to Swagbucks (rather than Google or Bing).

You'll automatically start racking up points just for surfing the web like you normally do, but using their browser instead (in case you're worried about efficiency, it's run by Yahoo so don't sweat!).

You can expect to tot up around 10 SB – 20 SB points for every 10 to 20 searches, but the final total will depend on the search queries. After six months of everyday searching, this can equate to around £300.

Complete surveys and polls
Time-rich but cash-poor? Filling out a few short surveys each day through Swagbucks can be a really nice little earner.

They usually take between three and 20 minutes to complete and you'll earn around 40 SB –100 SB depending on the survey. There's also a daily poll to complete which literally takes two seconds and will earn you one extra SB.

Download apps and games to your phone

You can earn a really broad variety of points for downloading, installing and opening certain apps on your phone, tablet or computer.

Although you'll occasionally get rewarded for simply installing the app, you'll usually have to complete some kind of action – be it reaching a certain stage in a game or depositing cash.

Sometimes these opportunities will be available via one of Swagbucks' partners (all of whom are also legit), but you'll still be paid in Swagbucks – usually several hundred SBs, if not more, depending on the offer.

But as ever, we'd recommend sticking to the free apps at first. There's no point in paying to download or use an app just to earn Swagbucks, as you're likely to earn far less than you spend!

If you're particularly keen on the survey route as a way to make cash, we've got a whole guide to the best paid survey sites.
Shop online and earn cashback
Now, obviously we wouldn't advise shopping online purely for the sake of getting more points (again, that just wouldn't make sense really, would it?). But if you're planning to buy something online, go via the Swagbucks website and earn some points (similar to mainstream cashback sites).

Receive easy SBs from online stores like Adidas, ASOS and eBay. So, before you part with your cash, do a quick search to find out if they're a participating Swagbuck earner.

For example, at the time of writing, anyone planning a holiday through Expedia could access the site via Swagbucks and earn up to 4 SB per £1 spent. As holidays tend to cost a fair whack, you could end up earning hundreds of points that you can turn into rewards or cash later.

Get SB points stacking up while you sleep by getting your friends to sign up to Swagbucks with your referral code.

Not only will you and your friend get 300 SB when they sign up (you'll get yours as long as they earn at least an extra 300 SB within their first 30 days), but you'll earn 10% of your friends' SB earnings for as long as they're a member, too!

This is a great way to earn points passively – and your friends will obviously benefit too. Plus, you'll get another 100 SB if the person you refer adds the SwagButton to their laptop or desktop (using the special link available on your invite page).

Watch out for Swag Codes
Download the SwagButton browser extension to receive notifications about 'Swag Codes' as soon as they become available.

Swag Codes are simply code words or phrases that the company releases to create a bit of buzz around the site and get members back onto the homepage.

The notifications you get from the browser extension will tell you where to go to find the code – on the Swagbucks blog, Twitter or Facebook page – which you'll then input into the 'Swag Code' box in the sidebar on the left side of the page. Super easy instant SB points!


At the top of the screen, you'll see a button marked 'Daily Bonus'
