Swagbucks: Earn your first $5 giftcard

Swagbucks: How to earn your first $5 giftcard 

This guide is being updated to show how to earn a $5 giftcard in one sitting.

Starting off: In only two days you can earn your $5 with little effort

  1. Go to Swagbucks.com (opens in new tab) *Using the referral link supports RewardSite Guides*
  2. Use the Sign-up code "HIP70" to receive 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.
  3. Just by signing up you will earn 4 SB, (not counting the 70SB from the sign-up code). Next you will want to complete your profile, learn how you earn and Discover your rewards. That will give you 32 SB. It is pretty self-explanatory. You can skip the tour as it rewards no SB.
  4. At some point you will want to verify your account through your email, sooner is better than later.
  5. Click on "My Settings" by hovering over your name at the top right, then click on "Survery Profiles." Fill out the info to give you surveys better targeted toward you and to receive 32 SB for finishing all 16 profiles.
  6. Now at this point you should have 134 SB from doing the one-off offers given from the site itself.
  7. Next, make sure to "Turn on Daily Goals" on the left. This is important  for free passive SB. More info on this can be read in my full guide.
  8. Now you can start earning.

Dailies:

Completing these 4 dailies for your first time will give you 10SB, which will bring you up to 144 SB!


  1. Toolbar (extension for chrome)-6 SB for installing, 1 SB everyday it's installed
    • If you don't want the toolbar, I suggest installing it for the SB, then removing it
  2. Daily Poll-1 SB
  3. NOSO- 2 SB (for this, "skip" everything till you reach the end and type in the captcha)
  4. Daily Crave- 1 SB, wait for the option, "Not for me" to be available to click; click through all of them until none left, ususally 2-3

Mobile Dailies:

Using both of these apps will grab you another 100 SB, now you're at 244 SB!

  1. Swagbucks TV- 50 SB: 2 SB per 5 videos watched. Sign in. Go to the "Home and Garden" category, Favorite "10 Sec Tip" videos by sliding your finger to the left on your mobile device. Let these videos auto-run by watching them from your Favorites. This will take about an hour. Ads may occasionally stop it from advancing to the next video; exit the ad and continue. You will know you have reached the maximum amount for the day when it says "Daily Allotment of Swagbucks has been met."
  2. Entertainow- 50 SB: This app works the same at the previous, however it pays 2 SB per 10 videos watched. The shortest videos are under the category "Tv Spots." I favorited "The Boondocks. Watch this from your favorites till you reach the Daily Limit.

Play Games! Playing games can get you a maximum of 10 SB per day, 254 SB!

Running Encrave on Discovery Mode to earn SB while you're doing anything else on the computer is a great way to get a bunch of points. This is where most of my SB come from. By using the Mobile apps for two days you will now have 454 SB. Go redeem for a $5 amazon giftcard and congrats on your first $5 amazon giftcard from Swagbucks! Keep on earning!
