This will be for the newbies who want to join in on the free giftcards, and for the veterans who are looking to maximize their Swagbucks with minimal effort. From now on I will be using “SB” as an abbreviation for “Swagbucks.” As an example: 450 SB gets you a $5 Amazon giftcard. A lot of effort was put into making this, I would greatly appreciate it if you used my referral links. Thanks and enjoy.
1.Use the Sign up code “HIP70” which is optional, but it will give you 70 free SB.
- The box to type this in doesn't show up unless you click “I have a sign up code (optional)” which is under the “Confirm Password” Box.
2.Just signing up will give you 4 SB. Now complete your profile, learn how you earn and Discover your rewards. That will give you 32 SB. This part is pretty self-explanatory. You can skip the tour, this rewards no SB.
3.At some point, verify your account through your email, sooner is better than later.
4.Click on “My Settings,” by hovering over your name top right, then click on “Survey Profiles,” fill out the info to give you surveys better targeted toward you and receive 32 SB for finishing all 16 Profiles. (I personally do not do surveys, I do not believe they are worth my time)
5.Now at this time you should have 136 SB from doing all of the one-off offers given from the site itself.
6.Make sure to Turn on Daily Goals on the left. This is important for free passive SB. More on this later.
Dailies:
1.Toolbar(if using chrome, it's an extension)- 6 SB for installing, 1 SB everyday it's installed
- If you don't want the toolbar, I do suggest installing it for the 6 SB, then removing it
2.Daily Poll- 1 SB, self explanatory
3.NOSO– 2 SB, (for this, “skip” everything till you reach the end)
4.Daily Crave- 1 SB, Wait for it to check off, then click whether you like it or not
Mobile Dailies (2 apps): Swagbucks tv (SBTV) and Entertainow
1.Swagbucks tv- 50 SB: You get 2 SB per 5 videos watched. Go to the “Home and Garden” category. Favorite “10 Sec Tip-Grass Stains and "10 Second Tip-Coffee Filter" by sliding your finger to the left on your Mobile device. These are the shortest ones at 9 seconds each. Let these videos auto-run by watching them from your “Favorites.” This will take about an hour. You will know you have reached the maximum amount for the day when “Daily Allotment of Swag Bucks has been met” shows up.
2.Entertainow- 90 SB: This app works the same as the previous, however it pays 2 SB per 10 videos watched. The shortest videos are under the category “Tv Spots.” I favorited “Touch.” This is the only one you will want to favorite since it is the shortest. Go to your “Favorites” and watch these till you reach the Daily limit.
Passive earnings: (Now this is Awesome!)
So you know all of those things that you already do above? Look over at the Daily Goal Section on the left above the “To Do List.”
1.If you reach the Daily goal (which can normally be reached soley through SBTV) you will get bonus SB and it will count towards your “Winning Streaks.”
2.The Second goal or “Total Goal” gives you more bonus SB, but does not have to be reached in order to count toward your “Winning Streaks.”
3.Winning Streaks:
Meet Daily Goal 7 days in a row- 25 SB Bonus
Meet Daily Goal 14 days in a row- 100 SB bonus
Meet Daily Goal 21 days in a row- 200 SB bonus
Meet Daily Goal every day in the month- 300 SB Bonus

5.Notes about Passive earnings:
SB from Daily Goal and Winning Streaks are paid out on the 5th of every month, referral SB is paid out as they're earned.
Daily Goal rewards increase over time the more you complete it and the more SB you earn per day.
Occasionals/free time:
1.Swag Codes- usually around 2-4 SB which are posted on social media sites
2.“Earn 2 Swag Bucks” offers that are sent to your SB Inbox. Some can be watched 2 or 3 times each. (This is the only thing I do from the Inbox.)
3.Hourly Random Winner- 1,000 SB: Announcement service which will let you know if you won via
Twitter
- Make sure to make your Twitter account "@insert_SB_name_here" to be notified
4.Encrave- auto watches videos for you. Found through Discover tab->Encrave->One of the boxes with the Replay symbol in the corner. Click the Discovery Mode button so there is a check mark to auto play (You may need your cursor on the browser for videos to check)
*Tip: Use this when watching youtube/Netflix/Tv or whenever you are AFK
5.Take A Discovery Break (Discovery: Offers on the homepage)-watch videos, anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes for 2 SB, great to do while earning from Encrave too
Extras:
1.There are two plans in which you pay per month to be able to match your SB up to a certain amount. Right off, this is only worth it if you know you can max it out every month.
- Accelerator: $4.99 per month and matches up to 700 SB per month
- Accelerator Plus: $9.99 per month and matches up to 1500 SB per month
1.In-short, You do searches daily with Bing.com on Web and via mobile
Make sure to do searches on Web and Mobile
Tip: Best bang for your points (if getting amazon giftcards): redeem for 500 swagbucks, instead of $5 amazon giftcard through Bing Rewards; $5 amazon Giftcard through Swagbucks costs 450 SB, which is a free 50 SB
Pro-tip: Wait to reach 750pts, purchase the cheapest sweepstakes, you will now have Gold and 500 SB will cost 475pts instead of 525, saving you 30pts
Again, please consider using my referral codes as I put a lot of time into this.
