  • A good start, MrCrimeFiction:T

    The problem with TCB and Quidco IMO is that even after cashback has been approved some companies take months not weeks to pay up. I once had to wait 4 months for an insurance quote payout even though it had tracked and was approved within days:(. I did get it eventually though but I never declare those sort of things in my monthly total until I've actually transferred it over to my bank account.

    Good Luck for the rest of the month:beer:

    Swagbucks Guide

    to help you earn money daily to be able to cashout weekly.

    Firstly, if not already signed up, it would be nice if you used a referral from here. Or you can sign up without a referral from here.


    Now if you have any android/i Device, ie a phone or a tablet, you can install swagbucks apps that run videos and will help you earn extra swagbucks daily. For iPhone/iPad it is only 4 at the moment. For android 6.

    For iPhone/iPad, install these

    iPhone users can use 4 apps: swagbuckstv, sportly and lifestyltztv, entertaiNow


    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/swagbucks-tv/id579119692?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sportly.tv/id917441469?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/lifestylz.tv/id924064844?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/entertainow/id804417194?mt=8


    Android users can use the following apps:

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportly.views&hl=en_GB
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lifestylztv.views&hl=en_GB
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indymusictv.views&hl=en_GB
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movieclips.views&hl=en_GB
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.entertainnowmobile.views
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swagbuckstvmobile.views&hl=en_GB



    they can all be found in play store and apple store.

    If on ANDROID, you can get a maximum of 36sb from SBTV per day ; 10sb from SportlyTV per day and 18sb per app, per day for the other 4 apps, so an easy way to get 118sb towards your daily goal.

    If on iPhone, you can earn 10sb from SportlyTV, 36sb from SwagbucksTV and 18sb from LifestylzTV and entertaiNow per day. A total of 82b towards your daily goal.

    Then daily do:

    on the left hand side NOSO and daily poll. That is 3 swagbucks.

    If you install the swagbucks swagbutton, click on it daily to earn 1 swagbucks.

    If you can get referrals to sign up under you, family and friends :D,

    For each new person referred to Swagbucks.com, the referrer will earn 10% of the referrals earnings. The earnings eligible for the 10% referral program include the categories along the top menu bar: Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Answer, Discover. This includes everything found in the drop down menus such as Daily Poll, Activities, Coupons and Tasks. Every earn on a mobile app contributes too.

    You will continue to earn 10% for as long as your referral is active on Swagbucks, with no maximum limit.

    Categories that do not count towards 10%: Sign-up bonus, Swag Codes, Daily Goal Bonuses, SB Visa awards, Accelerator awards; others may be added.If this does not answer your question, please submit a request to our support team.


    Daily you should check the tab that says:

    Answer
    Surveys

    You can find gold surveys, partner surveys, peanutlabs surveys, and a daily survey which is worth 60 swagbucks.

    You will find you get screened out of some surveys and only 1 sb. You should make sure your profile is upto date, there are questions on the right hand side, they want to know about your family, car, work, pets, etc. so they can tailor surveys to you.

    Don't rush through surveys as if they think you are lying, cheating, they will disqualify you.

    Try the discover special rewards tabs. I tend not to do all the offers, as some are spam and you will get lots of spam emails and phonecalls. (this is when having a secondary spam email and number ready ;) )

    You can find videos under some of the tabs which is helpful for 1 or 3sbs, you can do the 1 click on toro daily.

    Also if you play the swagbucks games under play on the green tab, you can earn 10sb daily for the games, it may take a while but you should earn on average 2sb for a game.

    You can also watch swagbucks tv, you have to watch 10 videos that they play, but you can choose the videos and categories. at the end you will get a captcha code you need to enter so you need to be watching ;) That is worth 3 sbs.

    Occasionally swagbucks release swag codes, this can be on twitter, facebook or the blog. You don't need to be on any or all of these mediums, as this thread will post any codes found. So subscribe to immediate emails. Swagcodes usually expire within the hour.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5067514

    and this thread is useful for helpful advice, general chat, good offers, anything happening immediately.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5142744

    They sometimes have instant surveys on the home page, these go quickly and are worth a few swagbucks usually 3 or 5, although we have had some for 23sb!

    Also when you do your searches, I alternate between inboxpounds, google as I have qmee installed and swagbucks. Occasionally on random searches, you will win swagbucks for searching something. The amount can vary and has been as high as 50 sb!

    Now if you are on facebook or twitter, - usually daily swagbucks have something for you to comment on, given an opinion, or just put your username. Once a month they award swagbucks to some users that have been entering competitions, posting regularly, made a comment, etc. So worth having a go.

    On Twitter, on Thursdays they have a competition called iSpy. You can win swagbucks if you answer the clue correctly, you enter into swagbuck codes - the cogwheel on the tool bar, and you win those swagbucks. But you have to be quick as only a limited number are offered and they expire quickly.

    Hope this guide helps some of you to start earning more. Yes it does mean you kind of have to be checking emails regularly or be on social media for the extras, but the swag thread is very good for helping with great promotions worth swags or codes.

    It does take a bit effort but it is free extra money.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your warm welcomes.
    Right I am only cheating myself if I count the eBay sale as I have always worked when something sells that when you count it so I am still on £0 :rotfl:
    BUT.........
    I have just listed 3 items on EBay which could potentially make at least £60 between them and have arranged a £50 FB sale that hopefully I will meet tomo so can count it then. So I may have to up my target to £300 :eek::cool:
    Also listing another couple of things on F*cebook in a minute so potentially a good start.
    May 2015 £10 a day currently £208

    I've renegotiated my Sky contract - phone, broadband & TV - a saving of £16.00 pm plus a brand new Sky Box & service. Not exactly punching the air on this one as I still feel I'm paying Sky a lot of money a month. I'm definitely going to diary in end of contract on this one and think seriously about my needs (as opposed to wants) .

I'm definitely going to diary in end of contract on this one and think seriously about my needs (as opposed to wants) .

    Thinking about needs oppose to wants is something I've thought hard about this past month. I need the best part of £40000 to buy a houseboat (only affordable way to move out when you're young IMO) So i've gone from being materialistic and having best of everything to about 5 sets of clothes and a laptop!

    So far i've cancelled my PlayStation subscription, sold my PS4 and it's games ( i wasted so many hours on that thing, its all hours i could have done extra work for money) I am in the process of selling my Blu rays. I don't need them as i have netflix. Im going to not re contract my phone when this contracts up, i'll just go on a cheap£10 a month on instead of the £42 im currently paying.

    I cancelled my gym and the money i'm saving from that is going to go on a new fold up bike!!

    When you sit back and think what do i actually NEED. it's very little!

    My parents want to get rid of sky!! They pay £40 a month to sit there and complain that threes nothing on TV, especially as now top gears gone

    Congrats on your saving from SKY!! :T

    Good for you Azzzaa. I really admire what you are doing. I think at the heart of why I'm feeling a bit discontented is that I want to live more like you are at the moment and the whole Sky thing feels really out of sync with that. I need the Broadband (for work if nothing else) but the TV was a want! But literally just through writing this I've realised its a want for my son & in fairness he is generally pretty low-maintenance. It's really helped to write this down actually - I feel like I've disentangled my feelings about it... feel a lot better now - not so discontent. THANK YOU :). Wow this thread is like free therapy :rotfl:
