By now, you should be a little bit familiar with Swagbucks. I've already gone over several methods that require almost no effort and very little effort. Now I'm going to cover the methods that require your full attention, but in most cases reward you well above just a few points. I'll start with the least rewarding for their time and end with the most rewarding.
Games
If you venture into the gaming section of Swagbucks, you'll see a wide variety of games you can play. You'll get rewarded small amounts of Swag Bucks as you play, up to a maximum of 10 per day. This isn't a very big earner, but it will help you fill in your daily meter if you are trying to meet the goal it sets for you each day. I like to play the word games because they go by pretty fast and I seem to earn my Swagbucks more quickly this way.
Coupons
Powered by coupons.com, you can print coupons out and for each one is redeemed you earn 10 Swag Bucks. It's very easy to use - all you do is look through the available coupons, and if you see one you like then you put a check in the box where it says [ ] <<< CLIP. The coupons are really great for saving; here are a few examples: $1 off any two Welches juice, $0.50 off two cans of Del Monte tomatoes, or $1 off Angel Soft 12-pack or larger toilet paper. Save and earn at the same time by using these coupons.
Trade-Ins
You can enter any books, games, gaming systems, and their accessories. If it is something they are looking for they offer to buy it from you and you get paid with Swag Bucks. To give you an idea, I just grabbed a book from my bookshelf The C Programming Language and ran the ISBN number through Swagbucks and I could sell it to them for 960 points.
Tasks
These are a mixed bag. Their difficulty and time commitments vary as well as the amount of Swag Bucks each task awards. New tasks are constantly added and older ones removed, so it's hard to give you a consistent idea of what to expect. As of this writing, there are tasks up that range from 2 to 14 Swag Bucks. Some tasks are simple: Search google for articles and retweet them! currently rewards 10 points and only takes about 5 minutes. There are some tasks that have you search Google for a certain keyword, have you look for a particular url, and then ask you questions about it such as it's rank on the Google search or if the snippet Google displayed accurately set your expectations as to what the page contains.
Surveys
Pretty much every GPT (Get Paid To) site has some form of surveys to complete and Swagbucks is no exception. There are two different places where you can find surveys. The first and most immediately obvious is to click Earn and select Trusted Surveys. You'll see survey's listed that range from 10 to 200 Swag Bucks. The other way to access surveys is to click on Special Offers instead of Trusted Surveys. This will bring up all the offers, separated into tabs by what backend powers them. Select the Peanut Labs tab and you'll see several surveys listed for around 50 to 80 Swag Bucks. The thing to keep in mind is just because the survey is there doesn't mean you will qualify for it. If you don't qualify you'll be kicked out after a handful of questions and given 1 Swag Buck for trying.
Daily Deals
To find these, click on Earn and select Daily Deals. You'll see mainly a mix of Tippr and Groupon deals. If you access them through Swagbucks you'll usually earn around 50 Swag Bucks. I used this recently to get $30 worth of pizza from a local pizza place for $9, plus I got my 50 Swag Bucks! I occasionally browse through here to see if there is anything I'd probably purchase anyway or to look for really good deals.
Special Offers
From the Earn menu select Special Offers. You'll see several tabs, each with a bunch of offers for a very wide range of points. This is where the biggest earners are. For instance, a free trial of Netflix will net you 1300 Swag Bucks. There are videos you can watch that will reward 1 or 2 points each. Some offers just want you to go to their website and sign up for their newsletter. There really are way to many offers to list here, but if you wanted to sign up for Swagbucks, make a little bit of money, and then never touch it again; this is the way to go. Some offers can take a few days to credit or may have a limit on how long you must keep the trial account before you close it (Netflix was 3 days), but that's usually stated very clearly on the offer.
As you can see, there a bunch of ways to earn Swag Bucks all with varying levels of time commitment. You can earn slow or you can earn fast. It's entirely up to you. If you have any questions or feel as if I didn't cover any particular section well enough please leave a comment and I will be glad to help you.
