£10 swagbucks claimed on 2nd and now I’m my bank account.

Anyone who does swagbucks how do you boost that income? I do the surveys and that’s it. I see there’s games and stuff but do I have to sign up for them? Scared of given details that kinda thing

thanks 

£10/£2023

I have stopped doing surveys as I was dying of boredom. There are 4 or 5 free games where you can earn 10 points a day but I am actually allocating an old kindle to download the games apps to this year. I do travel around a bit or have to wait in the car for people so when I am not driving or  filling my time learning Japanese ( a free course) then I will play the games.

I feel a lot of the swagbuck surveys are not worth that much and I used to waste so much time answering the same inane questions. Another time waster was trying to reach targets. I do everything at the lowest level now and still have managed to earn 450 swagbucks in the last 10 days. For me I am better selling stuff online. I have enough of it. 

Welcome to new challengers. Good luck.

Checked through my accounts today and earned more than I thought in the first week. 

Waiting on some quidco cashback but I don't buy a huge amount online and payouts seem to be taking longer and longer

Is it too late to join this challenge?? Haven’t a clue where to start other than selling on Vinted but I’m here for it!

I received a free bottle of 0% Gordon’s pink gin. Looking at supermarkets the non-pink version of the same size is between £13 and £15. Not surprised they are giving it away though, it’s pretty gross!

I’m not sure if I’m going to claim this towards my total. I cannot see myself drinking it up, and as I’ve opened it I can’t gift it.

I think I'd like to join this year's challenge as I can't loose even if I don't get to the £2,023 target I'll still be "up".  I've never tried before, so it will be interesting to see what the motivation of logging things does to drive me to be more focused - I have known vouchers to go in the bin unused before.

I have some things I do and can count those, plus I'd like to clarify the rules on some points.

• Surveys - I do YOUGOV, so whenever I reach a pay-out that should count.

• Cashback from the credit card - again, when it pays out I presume.

• I occasionally sell on EBay, so that will count.
• What about any other second-hand selling?  We currently have a car for sale.  OR, does that not count?  I will need to buy a replacement car, so maybe this is just part of the roll of life's dice.

• Does it count if shopping, potatoes purchased today had a mark-down for sale-by date.  Does that £0.43 count?
• What about the loyalty-card prices?  So, something normally costs £3.90 but using the loyalty card the price is £3.40.  Is that a recordable saving, or is that just really the price?
• What about multi-buy savings?
• I received some shopping vouchers "£3 off a spend of £30" so I used that - does that count as a a saving?
• I received periodic shopping discount vouchers by using the loyalty card - do they count?

• We have a scheme through work where we can get discounts in various forms.  Sometimes, this is to access a retailers website via the scheme website, it tracks spend and then we get cash-back.  Does that count?  Is it counted when the purchase is made or when the cash-back lands?
• Also, the scheme through work allows us to buy store vouchers at a discount, so yesterday I bought a £100 gift card but it only cost me £96.  Do I claim that as a £4 earning?

• The coffee shop where I collect Beans, so they sent me a note saying I have enough Beans for a free coffee - does that count at whatever the cost would have been for the free coffee?

If I can do all those things, I might be able to get above the £2,023 target in the year.
