Watch videos, play games and earnSwagbucks

Swagbucks* is a fun survey site that pays you for completing short online tasks in virtual cash - you can then exchange this for real money, Paypal credits or gift cards to spend at Amazon, M&S and more. The site's huge in America, and here in the UK many MSE forumites

are dedicated users.

Tasks include filling in polls, watching videos and searching using its page instead of Google. Advertisers pay Swagbucks to publicise their wares or do market research, and the site passes a cut to you. The more dedicated you are, the more you earn, though every task pays a different amount.

MSE Blagged - £15 Amazon/M&S gift card when you earn £5 in points

We've blagged a special deal for newbies and those who've previously registered for Swagbucks via MSE but haven't yet hit 849 points.

New users need to sign up for the site via this specialSwagbucks* link by Fri 27 Feb. Then if you earn £5 in bucks by Fri 27 Mar, Swagbucks will give you a £10 bonus, so you can get £15 of gift cards for Amazon, M&S, New Look, Starbucks, PizzaExpress and more.

The offer's also available to people who have previously registered with Swagbucks via MSE and haven't yet reached 849 points. Even if you're only a few points away from that mark, reach it before Fri 27 Mar and you'll get your £10 of bonus points.

How it works: Once you hit 849 Swagbucks, 1,698 bonus points will be added to the 'My gift cards' section of your account within 10 days. You'll then have enough to redeem a total of £15 in gift cards for Amazon, M&S and more - just go to the 'Rewards' section to cash your points in.

Gift cards arrive within 10 working days. Most can be redeemed in store or online within a year, though check as it varies by retailer. You can opt for PayPal credit instead, but you'll get less bang for your (Swag)buck - a tenner costs 1,999 points.
