Earn a $15 Movie Gift Card with Swagbucks in Just 1 Week!

by 2 Comments

Going to the movies is one of our favorite family rainy day activities in the summer. Whether you prefer the biggest blockbusters or the sweetest romantic comedy, Swagbucks can get you into the movies for FREE!

Swagbucks is a rewards site that gives you points called “Swag Bucks” for things like searching, watching videos & browsing articles. You redeem those Swag Bucks for gift cards to places like Amazon, PayPal — and yes, even to the movies. I like to save up my Swag Bucks for Amazon gift cards to help lower the cost of my monthly Subscribe & Save order, but I splurge on a Starbucks gift card occasionally!

Here’s how Swagbucks can help you can turn watching videos online into your watching movies in the theater for free: Earning 1,500 SB gets you enough for a $15 movie gift card from AMC or Regal Cinema!

Whether you’re on the go, at home, or stuck at a desk, use these tips to earn your $15 movie gift card in just 1 week:

  • SBTV mobile on Android & iOS: Earn up to 36 SB per day watching everything from food videos & news to Hulu clips & music videos – 252 SB
  • Moviecli.ps app on Android & iOS: Get 18 SB per day watching the latest movie trailers – 126 SB
  • EntertaiNOW app on Android & iOS (US only): You can also earn another 18 SB per day checking out news on movies and TV shows, behind-the-scenes interviews and celebrity gossip – 126 SB
  • SBTV on Desktop: Watch a little bit of everything, including Hulu clips & music videos, but with a higher earning cap of 150 SB per day – 1,050 SB

When you have a specific SB goal (like a $15 AMC or Regal Cinema gift card) and a plan of action, you’ll get gift cards faster and be able to check out the newest action-comedy or Oscar-nominated drama without spending extra money. There are even more ways to earn SB online, so take a look around and see what works best for you. You don’t have to wait until the next blockbuster comes out to start saving up with Swagbucks!

$5 Bonus When You Register With Acorns {Invest Your Spare Change}

by Leave a Comment

Have you heard about Acorns, yet? I mentioned it towards the end of last year, but I thought now would be a good time to bring it up again since we all just finished up our taxes. Basically, it’s an app that automatically invests spare change from your purchases.

So what exactly does that mean? To put it simply, you link your checking, savings, and/or credit card accounts to your Acorns account, and each transaction you make is automatically rounded up to the next dollar. The difference is then invested via Acorns in your choice of portfolios: conservative, moderately conservative, moderate, moderately aggressive or aggressive.

In my opinion, it’s an easy and painless way to consistently save money! I’ve been using it since last March, and I have over $1,700 in my account from round-ups — without feeling a pinch at all. Plus, unlike traditional investment accounts or 401K plans, you can make deposits and withdrawals whenever you want to without having to pay any fees.

But don’t take my word for it — set up your Acorns account now! There’s no minimum deposit, and if you set it up now, you’ll receive a $5 bonus!!!

Features:

  • No Minimum Deposit — Start with a $5 signup bonus today.
  • Annual Fees — $1/month for accounts under $5,000, and 0.25% per year for accounts over $5,000.
  • Mobile App and Website Access — iPhone, Android support and the recently introduced website access.
  • Students Invest for Free — Individuals under 24 years of age and/or attending college pay no fees.
  • Round-Ups — For each debit or credit card transaction, the round up to the nearest dollar is invested into Acorns.
  • Scheduled Deposits — Set recurring daily, weekly or monthly investments.
  • SIPC insured — insured through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) for up to $500,000.

Disclosure: The $5 bonus works both ways, so you can earn a bonus as well when you share with your family and friends after registering! However, I would have shared this app with you all anyhow, because I’ve seen my personal results over the last year and believe it’s a great way to save for retirement, vacation, next Christmas — whatever your personal goals are.
