Is Swagbucks a scam?<\/h2>\n

\"Swagbucks<\/p>\n

NO! Swagbucks is not a scam! It has paid out over \u00a3163 MILLION since it launched. Alas we\u2019ve only seen a tiny fraction of that at Cash Pie. I\u2019ve personally received over \u00a31000 over a few years \u2013 in Amazon UK gift cards, but also in CASH (via PayPal or a pre-paid digital credit card).<\/p>\n

Swagbucks does, however, rely upon partners to provide surveys and offers. You might have problems with some surveys, or completion of tasks are not reported back to Swagbucks.<\/p>\n

This means that you can miss earnings which should be yours. Swagbucks will usually credit your points if you contact them about errors.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Is Swagbucks legit?<\/h2>\n

Yes,\u00a0Swagbucks is legitimate<\/strong>.\u00a0 It lets you earn gift cards or cash for doing surveys, tasks, searching the web, playing games and getting cash back when you buy things online.<\/p>\n

Swagbucks earning counts as taxable income \u2013 however, you do not ned to pay any tax on the first \u00a31000 that you you make being self employed \u2013 this is called your \u2018trading allowance\u2019. It\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll earn more than this each year from Swagbucks alone.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Can you make a living on Swagbucks?<\/h2>\n

No, you wouldn\u2019t be able to make a living on Swagbucks alone \u2013 but it\u2019s a\u00a0fantastic way<\/strong>\u00a0to top up other income streams.\u00a0 Typically, you might make \u00a320-30 per month with Swagbucks, with dedicated Swagbuckers earning much more. Of course, this is in\u00a0gift cards<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 use these to buy things that you would anyway to realise the\u00a0CASH<\/strong>\u00a0reward.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Is Swagbucks worth the time?<\/h2>\n

Yes, we think that Swagbucks is worth the time \u2013 but only if you\u2019re smart about it. Concentrate on the higher earning or \u2018quick win\u2019 ways to earn, and maximise bonuses (such as your Daily Goal, Swago, To-Do list and Team Challenges).<\/p>\n

Doing this can make Swagbucks worth the time when you do it alongside other earning opportunities.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Answer Surveys<\/h3>\n

\"Swagbucks<\/p>\n

Answering surveys can be one of the highest ways to earn with Swagbucks \u2013 and one of the most frustrating.<\/p>\n

Surveys come from two main sources \u2013 Gold Surveys, and Peanut Labs.\u00a0 The survey panels give you the estimated time to complete and the value (in Swagbucks) of each survey. Gold Surveys lets you sort the available surveys by the number of Swagbucks that you\u2019ll get for completing them.<\/p>\n

Swagbucks will only credited you the full amount if you qualify for and complete a survey.\u00a0 Gold Surveys will give you 1 SB for the first five surveys that you are disqualified from. Peanut Labs give a similar reward for disqualifications. It\u2019s scant consolation for your time, but better than nothing! These 1SB mount up and contribute towards your daily goals (see below for more on this).<\/p>\n

<\/span>Shop \u2013 Get Cash back from Shops which you\u2019d use anyway<\/h3>\n

You can get cash back on things that you buy from eCommerce stores which are listed in the Swagbucks UK store. There are many UK stores listed, including many high street favourites.<\/p>\n

The cash back amounts vary depending upon the retailer. It could be as little as 1 SB per pound spent, or more.\u00a0 It\u2019s an effortless way to earn SB to redeem for gift cards.<\/p>\n

Generally you will get a better return by using dedicated UK cash back websites, such as TopCashBack or Quidco. However, there are occasionally good cash back offers with Swagbucks, or offers which are not available at other cash back sites.<\/p>\n

If you decide to make Swagbucks your default cash back website then consider linking your payment card, so that you can receive cash back for spending offline, too.<\/p>\n

Never buy something just for the cash back \u2013 find the cheapest price, and then see if the store is in the Swagbucks shop section.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Search (and Collectors Bills)<\/h3>\n

\"Swagbucks<\/p>\n

Using Swagbucks as your search engine is one of the easiest ways to earn!<\/p>\n

Swagbucks has partnered with Yahoo! Search (which in turn is powered by Bing). Swagbucks are randomly awarded when you make searches.<\/p>\n

You can make searches by visiting the Swagbucks website, or by defaulting your browser to use the Swagbucks Search engine.<\/p>\n

You will typically get anything from 3 SB to 15 SB for a search win. Sometimes you can get a much bigger win of 25 SB or 40 SB, for example, but this is rarer.<\/p>\n

When you get a search win you will need to enter a code to make sure that\u2019s it\u2019s really you using the search engine, not a robot! The code is case sensitive, so make sure that it matches exactly.<\/p>\n

Search wins sometimes complete a square in a game of Swago, and they can be useful when you are just a few swagbucks away from reaching your daily goal.<\/p>\n

ESTIMATED EARNINGS: 150 SB per month<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>Discover<\/h3>\n

Swagbucks has partnered with several other companies offering rewards in return for completing tasks. These are available in the\u00a0Discover<\/strong>\u00a0section. Each company page is called an \u2018offer wall\u2019.<\/p>\n

Each offer wall has several\u00a0 ways to earn, with varying rewards for them. Some are cash back offers \u2013 you will receive swagbucks as cash back when you buy something via the offer wall. Others are free, such as for signing up to a newsletter.<\/p>\n

You will need to do a Discover task to complete your\u00a0Daily To-Do List<\/strong>. There are usually free tasks which will get you 1 SB (enough to mark off the Discover task).<\/p>\n
