    Maxi Tips

    Maximiles is another one of those favourites of mine so i thought i would write some hints and tips for earning on this site.

    You can claim various gifts and vouchers on this site - i usually choose the vouchers which cost 3000 points for £10 and can claim this every 4 - 6 weeks or so!

    How to earn for free

    As i said there are various ways of earning for free - these are:

    1. Signing up to various sites or offers - There are lots to choose from including survey sites, bingo/gambling sites, mobile phone sims, store newsletters, and many many more. Please note signing up to some of these sites will result in regular posts to your email address.

    2. Completing surveys - these are separate from the survey sites and are from maximiles themselves. I find most of these surveys pretty quick easy and interesting (tho there can be a long one here and there). To earn points with maximiles surveys you need to subscribe to the survey panel on the site.

    3. Earning emails - quite simply if you subscribe to these you will get sent various offers via email. If you open the email and click through to the offer you will earn 5 points.

    4. Personal Profile - If you complete your personal profile the offers you get sent will be more relevant to you. You will also earn points for completing the profile questionnaires. There are 8 different profile questionnaires so you don't have to complete them all at once. You will earn 5 points for each one you complete.

    5. Referral - refer up to 5 friends and earn 1000 points for each of them when they earn 500 points.

    6. Videos - Very simple earner this one, just watch some videos and rate them to earn from 5 - 20 points. Videos are added all the time so its a good one to top up your points.

    7. Credit Card - there is a maximiles credit card that you can apply for. It does have a couple of 0% interest rates at the minute and you earn 1 point for every £1 spent. Easy way to boost your points if you use a credit card anyway. This is a free points option ONLY if you clear your balance each month or just use for the 0% period!

    8. Mini Polls - When you log into the home page there will often be a mini poll on the right side just below the navigation bar. Easy 5 points for answering a couple of questions.

    9. Recommendations - Also on the right side you will see a list called maximiles recommends - often there are new free earning options posted on here so its worth a quick look.

    10. Groupon - Ok so its not a free earner, but i haven't seen this on any other cashback site so thought i would add it to the list. If you do buy any of the deals via groupon you can earn some points on these as well on maximiles - 6 points for each £1 you spend making the deals even better value than they already are :)


    Hope you find these tips useful ;)

    Till next time, earn lots

    Thanks didnt know about the swagbucks games business :) Under special offers though there is usually plenty of videos to hit quickly, although 1 provider is gone now. Shame as that used to be 10+sbs a day.

    * sb TV - open a new page, go to sb TV page, click on any vid, let it play while you do something else on the other page (my fav thing is to do a survey on other page, or to do the sb games) every few questions go to swags page and click on new vid. You should see the meter going up - earn 3 sb for every 10 vids you let play - BTW i have discovered the max earning for vids is currently 150 per day!!!!

    My tip here is to install the swagbucks toolbar. You get 1SB per day just for having it installed but more importantly there is a little button 'Watch SBTV' so instead of having it in a browser tab/window it launches a seperate little window. Resize this window small, then hold control and roll your mousewheel down a few times to resize whats inside the window to fit. This way you get SBTV in a tiny standalone window that stays on top :) as soon as it hits 35secs or so, click the next video (or just whenever you want lol).

    Thanks for that - might work for people on IE but i'm on chrome so toolbar doesn't work for me too well :( pity, sounds like a good tip :cool:

    If you are using chrome you can set it as your default search... no need for a toolbar
