Refresh your finances with Swagbucks

Posted on by

March is here, and with it comes Mother’s Day, British spring-time… and an incredible chance to bag a 500 SB bonus from Swagbucks!

I know what you’re thinking; “She’s trying to sign me up again…” - and yep, I am. My experience with Swagbucks has been so unbelievably awesome that I can’t understand why the entire population of the UK aren’t already signed up. A TOTALLY FREE rewards site, simply signing up to Swagbucks lets you build SB (points) for things you’re probably doing online already, like searching, watching videos, discovering deals, and taking surveys. Even dedicating the smallest amount of time each day pays dividends.

When you’ve accrued a decent amount of SB, you can then exchange them for gift cards for places like Amazon, Starbucks, Debenhams, Argos, or even PayPal cash. Just think, signing up now could pay for this year’s Christmas, allow you to pay off any pesky debt, or pay for a holiday in the sun.

When you sign up through me this month, you can earn a 500 SB bonus! Here’s how:

1. Sign up using this link

2. Earn 300 SB total before 1st April, and voila you’ll get a 300 SB bonus for it!

3. If you spend at least £25 through Swagbucks Shop* you’ll get another 200 SB bonus on top of the cash back you’ll get from shopping. If you have some shopping to do online, just go to Swagbucks first and visit the store through them. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, but you’ll get SB points for every pound you spend (on top of the bonus).

That’s it. It’s super easy, and Swagbucks is for real. I use it myself, and I’ve earned well over 180,000 SB so far (with little effort). I’ve been exchanging my points for Amazon vouchers, and have netted a ridiculously good £1500 since joining in October (so just 6 months). This has paid for a new dining room table, a solid oak super king-size bed for Craig and I, and a beautiful big girl bed for Heidi. I have no idea what to buy next, but already have over £300 sat in my Amazon account waiting to spent.

It’s a no-brainer - you simply HAVE to join up. Who could afford not to?

*You must receive your shopping SB before 1 May

Double cash back all weekend long with Swagbucks

Posted on by

Payday

Finally it’s pay-day! With Christmas, New Year celebrations and bank holidays galore, January always feels like such a long slog. Given I notched up another birthday at the start of this month too, I hit the January sales a little too hard and ended up eeking out the dregs of my bank account as the month wore on.

Now my balance has reset and there’s money to spare, it’s time to go shopping!

If, like me, you plan on splurging a little this weekend - it’s the perfect time to get a Swagbucks account and start earning cash back for your purchases. From Friday through Sunday, you can take advantage of double cash back with Swagbucks. This is no ordinary cash back either - you’ll receive cash back in the form of points called SB, that you can then redeem against a bevvy of gift cards including Amazon, Debenhams and Argos. There’s even the option to turn SB into cash via PayPal or prepaid Mastercards.

Swagbucks Shop1

With retailers such as Argos, M&S, New Look, Currys, Toys R Us and thousands of others, it’s highly likely you’ll find a store that stocks what you’ve been saving up for.

It’s really simple to use:

Just CLICK THIS LINK to sign up for Swagbucks and shop at over a thousand different stores - you’ll get points (called SB) for every pound you spend. You can then turn those points into free gift cards at some of your favourite retailers.

As a special bonus, if you sign up through me (via the link above) and spend £25 or more this weekend, you’ll get a 200 SB bonus applied to your account after your points are credited to your account.

It doesn’t stop with shopping, either. You can earn points for everything from searching the web to watching videos and trying out new products and services.

I’m totally addicted to Swagbucks at the moment. I slot in sessions between school runs, housework and blogging, and am truly staggered how much I’ve made. Using Swagbucks I bought myself a solid oak dining table from Amazon in December, and bought Heidi’s first ever big-girl bed earlier this month. It’s a smart and easy way to put my time and money to good use, and I’ve big plans for the house in the next 6 months that wouldn’t have been possible without it.

Wishlist

The best bit? When you get to grips with your own account and are ready to tell your friends how awesome it is, you’ll be rewarded for referring them by way of an end-of-month bonus. You’ll also get 10% of their earnings for life. With so many ways to rack up points, I’m constantly earning, even when I’m away from my laptop thanks to my referrals - and they are from theirs and so forth. I can’t think how anyone can afford not to check it out.

Fancy joining in? SIGN UP VIA ME, and I can bag you a 300 SB bonus if you earn 300 SB between now and February 1st 2016. Throw in a little online shopping (£25) this weekend, and I can get you an extra 200 SB. That’s a total of 500 SB on top of your cash back SB!

Super easy ways to make money go further

Posted on by

When money is tight, it can be frustrating. We still want to enjoy some of the little luxuries in life, but it can be difficult when the bills start piling up. However, there are ways to save a bit here and there, and using deals and voucher codes can accumulate into big savings over the year. Here are some super easy ways to save money and still enjoy yourself.

Online shopping codes

Online shopping codes can be a godsend when there aren’t as many pennies in the pot as you would like. Sites such as http://www.plusvouchercode.co.uk/ offer a great search facility for all the deals you need in one easy place. You can find coupons at stores such as Debenhams, Amazon, Travelodge and House of Fraser. These can be anything from £5 off your first order to free delivery on products. There are 3 for 2 deals at M&S and holiday discounts at places such as Chessington World of Adventures. You can slash money off clothes, days out, groceries and more just by doing a couple of simple searches online. It’s worth totting up how much you’re saving each time, so at the end of the year, you can get the big picture on how much you have achieved. You can even start a separate account for these savings and put the money towards a special treat.

Google

Make Google your best friend if you have a certain product in mind that you need to buy. Just because it’s advertised in a store at a certain price doesn’t mean you won’t find a better deal online. Online stores often have flash-sales that you can take advantage of. Or again, you may be able to use one of your online discount codes to put towards your chosen product. It’s worth spending a bit of time searching around if it can save you pounds. On my blog I also offer competitions and giveaways that will save you pounds, so it’s always worth taking a peek.

Treat time?

Are you craving a couple of nights away with the girls but it just doesn’t seem affordable? We all need some downtime, and it’s beneficial to your health to get away every so often. Spa trips can be expensive, but if it fits into your schedule look out for mid-week or Sunday night deals. Lots of hotels struggle to make up the numbers out of season or off weekends. It’s worth phoning the hotel directly to see if they can offer you a deal. Some spa hotels also offer up to 20% discount on treatments if you are booking mid week. You can always take your own Champagne to celebrate in the room instead of ordering costly room service too.

Cashback and rewards

Another way to make savings throughout the year is to look out for cash back on card deals. There are card deals out there that give you 1% back on fuel and supermarket bills. Cash back is often better than reward schemes as you get cold-hard cash back on the card. Do your research and see what card works best for you. For example, a new Amex card will give you £100 introductory cashback, but you will need to spend £2,000 in the first three months. Whereas an Asda cashback card will earn you 1% back on all store, online and fuel shopping. If you like fashion and online shopping ASOS have also introduced a great reward scheme where you get 5 points for every £1 spent. 500 points turn into £5 to spend online.

It’s worth the time and effort to look around for both online and offline deals when it comes to saving money. After all, we want to enjoy ourselves while knowing we’ve got the best deal possible.
