If you have been a part of the Savears group long enough, you will hear Swagbucks mentioned. Many of us use Swagbucks earnings to save for a Disney vacation and more!
First, sign join Swagbucks (it’s free). Then read, these 8 tips to getting started with Swagbucks! Including, how to use Swagbucks to pay for a Disney vacation. When starting out, and using these tips, I suggest using a computer and starting in desktop view versus doing Swagbucks on the app right away.
1. To-Do-List
After joining Swagbucks, the first thing I would attempt is your daily to-do-list. This will give you a good feel for different activities Swagbucks offers. Select offers on your to-do-list will earn you Swagbucks (sb). Complete items on your daily to-do-list to earn bonus sb!
2. Daily Poll
Earn an easy 1sb each day by participating in the daily poll. Cast your vote and earn 1sb. This is a To-Do-List item.
3. Magic Receipts
Earn cash back in the form of sb on grocery and household goods with Magic Receipts. Redeem your receipt under the Shop tab, then Magic Receipts. Simply upload your receipt with your qualifying offer at a participating store and earn instant sb! This is one of my favorite ways to earn because credit is awarded instantly. Earn as low as 2sb for items such as oranges, bread, limes, carrots etc., and up to hundreds of sb or more on cleaning products, candy bars etc. Offers do update, so check often. Adding a Magic Receipt offer & Uploading a Magic Receipt offer are both To-Do-List items depending on the day.
4. Surveys
Gold surveys can be found under your answer tab. Complete surveys and earn the sb attached. Surveys will vary in length and sb award. Always be truthful when you answer the surveys and take your time. Swagbucks looks for consistency and those who are not breezing through surveys. This is a To-Do-List item, attempt a survey and complete a survey. Do note, if you complete a survey, it checks both items off the list. Therefore, if you are lucky to get a survey completion on your first attempt you will have already checked off 2 items. Up to 5 gold surveys, earn 1sb per disqualification.
5. Daily Goals
Aim to reach at least your first goal of the day. To find your goals, hover over Daily Goals at top of page, on desktop view. You will see 2 goals, your first goal and second goal. Each have a bonus SB attached to them when you achieve it. Reach at least your first goal daily to earn streaks (7 day, 14 day, 21 day, monthly) for additional bonus SB!
6. Search Wins & Collector Bills
When you search through Swagbucks, a special Collector’s Bill can pop up. During promos it will be a colorful artwork, like the examples above, you can win searches during non-promos as well. When a search win comes up, enter the captcha to collect your points.
My Best Tips To Get A Search Win/ Collector’s Bill:
– Swagbucks Facebook page often puts up links to help you search and get a win
– Check the Swagbucks Facebook page and save these links to your FB Saved
– I have 4 saved links that work well for me, keep saving and searching until you find yours
– Search first thing in the morning for your first search win (this is the easiest for me to get)
– The morning search win usually only takes 5-10 clicks
– Try searching again in the afternoon and again later in the evening
– 3 searches a day is the most I ever get
– During Collector Bill series, check for fresh links on Swagbucks FB page
– Be patient: today it took me 15-20 clicks to get a win!
