Okay, so I know Christmas is a LONG way off. A whole 6 months away in fact. 99% of us will therefore pop it to the back of their mind, moan when the ads start late October, then panic like mad come December. We’ll max out our credit cards, spend January and February paying them off, then promise ourselves we won’t ever leave it so late again.

So why not start saving money now?

In fact, scrap that. Just create a free Swagbucks account instead. You can earn points called SB by logging in for as little as 15 mins a day, watching a handful of videos, taking a quick survey & maybe signing up for the odd free trial and discovering the best the internet has to offer. Rack up those points, then convert them into vouchers for a whole host of popular stores including Debenhams, Argos and Amazon. If you need ready-cash, change up your points for £s via PayPal, or a prepaid Mastercard.

I know it sounds too good to be true, but I’ve earned a whopping £2000 worth of Amazon vouchers since October 2016. It’s paid for a new oak dining table, a full bedroom suite for Craig and I, and, give me a couple of months and I’ll be getting some brand-spanking new garden furniture to boot.

I cannot recommend this site enough, and you have nothing to lose from checking it out. It’s completely FREE to sign up, and you don’t have to use your paycheck to earn points either. You earn points for doing things online you are most probably already doing - you even earn points for simply searching the internet.

EVEN BETTER, YOU CAN GET A HUGE BONUS BY SIMPLY SIGNING UP THROUGH ME

If you earn 300 SB before 1 July, you’ll get a 300 SB bonus (as long as you’ve signed up under me)! Throw in £25 worth of online shopping, and you’ll get an extra 200 SB on top of that. That’s a potential 500 SB bonus to get your first month on Swagbucks off to a cracking start.

Happy Swagbucking!
