Get 300 bonus SB when you sign up for Swagbucks in April

Disclosure:  Links to Swagbucks in this post are my referral links.  Thank you for using my links it helps me earn extra SB.  I also earned SB for sharing this promotion.

It's only 32 weeks until National Collection week, and if you're looking for a new way to come up with funds for shoebox items or shipping, why not try earning free gift cards through Swagbucks! All throughout April you can earn a nice bonus when sign up as my referral on Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a rewards site where you earn points (called SB) for things you're probably doing online already, like searching the web, watching videos, shopping, discovering deals, taking polls, playing games, and taking surveys. Then you take those points and exchange them for gift cards to places like Amazon, Walmart, or PayPal cash.

When you sign up through me this month, you can earn a 300 SB bonus! Here's how:

1. Sign up using this referral link

2. Earn 300 SB total before May 1st, 2019. You'll get a 300 SB bonus for it!

3. That's it. It's easy, and Swagbucks is for real. I use it myself!!

Looking for some ideas of how to earn 300 SB, well here's ten ways to easily earn your first 300 SB from Swagbucks online to receive your sign up bonus:

1. Take the daily poll -- one SB per day -- found on homepage on left under "To Do List."
2. Print coupons -- one SB per coupon up to 50 coupons a day, often on weekends it is two SB per coupon -- found under "shop" (left on homepage) and then click "grocery coupons" on left.  Note:  you  also earn 25 SB for using the coupon printed, but that takes several weeks to show up.
3. Play the free games -- earn two SB per two games played; up to 10 SB per day -- found under "games" on left side of homepage then scroll to bottom of game page to find "Swagbucks Games."  Tips:  1) the individual game page needs to load completely  -- be sure the comments at the bottom load.  I bring up the page and while it loads I do something else, go back play a game, refresh, leave, come back, repeat.  Every two games should yield 2 SB up to 10 total per day (if the two SB is not coming up after each two games leave it load for longer between playing).  2)  You must allow FLASH.
1. You don't have to play long: on the jump game just jump to hit at least one symbol; on the dinosaur game he needs to fall off the first cliff.
4. Signup for free offers.  Click "Discover" on left side of homepage.  Click "Free Offers" on left side.  Look for things like 40 SB for signing up for Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, TBSP emails.  Tip:  use a junk email.
5. Buy E-gift cards for places you spend money at (they usually arrive via Email within an hour or two) -- SB amounts vary.  On homepage hit "shop" than "buy gift cards."  They offer dozens from different stores, online shopping sites -- including Ebay, restaurants, etc.
1. They usually have at least one week in the month that they offer an extra 100 SB per $50 gift card (one per store).  We try to wait and order during this special.
2. You can also earn from shopping online (or ordering online and picking up in store) -- also found on the shop page.  But the SB earned are usually pending for well over a month so won't help with earning first 300 SB within your first month, but a nice way to earn a lot of SB over the year.  We do this a lot for local pick ups (like at Lowes).  And it is nice when you can order the gift card, earn SB and then earn SB when you shop, too.
6. Take Surveys -- amounts vary.  Many high earners on Swagbucks swear by the surveys.  Sarah likes to take them, I, Cheryl, do not.  Find them on the Homepage and under Peanut Labs (Homepage--Discover--Peanut Labs).  TIP:  ALWAYS be honest and always give the same answers as to your demographics -- you can be banned if they think you are making up answers.
7. Watch Videos -- amounts vary.  Find the Watch link on left hand side of homepage.  Then choose either "NCrave" or a category of watch (such as "Home and Garden).

1. For NCrave choose the ones with the Discovery Mode symbol (see right image) and it will self advance.  The others you will need to click thru.  These are great for while you are working on other projects (such as cooking dinner).  This is one of our favorite ways to earn.
2. For the categories, choose one of the video sets that comes up.  You can let them self-advance or once a check mark shows up on the video playing in the row of videos below the large open one, you can click on the next one.
8. Search -- varies, sometimes you earn nothing -- enter term you want to search in upper left of home page.  Tip:  only search 3 or 4 times at once -- they want it to be used as a regular search engine, not to just search to earn SB and they can ban members from search for abuse.
9. Check your SB inbox daily for new offers -- found on top right of homepage.  Some are just click and earn, some sign ups, others you need to pay to earn.  We often don't find anything we want to do for days, but then there will be something we'll do to earn.
10. Do NOT do any LARGE SB deals for a few months (I think this is in your terms of service).  They often have things like 3000 SB for Hulu trial.  To keep people from spamming them by making additional accounts to earn these high amounts only accounts will be deactivated.  It is necessary to establish your Swagbucks' account before participating in these.

By doing some of the things above you should easily earn 300 SB your first month on Swagbucks.  You can cash out at that time if you'd like for a $3.00  Amazon or Dunkin Donuts gift card.  They offer lots of choices for gift cards at larger amounts.  Sarah chooses Paypal and I, Cheryl, choose Amazon.  And be sure to follow Swagbucks' blog, Twitter and Facebook to learn more of how to earn.

This post contains referral links and I was given SBs to post it, but our opinions are our own, it won't cost you any points to go through my link, but I'll be compensated if you act after clicking on it which helps me afford the time to write the blog and keep up the Facebook page, and I only share things I pack/think are good for shoeboxes or shoebox packers.
