Swagbucks 5 For 5 Promo + 100 Points For New Members!

October 12, 2011 by Deal Seeking Mom Leave a Comment

Swagbucks 5 for 5 Promo Swagbucks has a really fun promo running through the end of the year. They’re calling it 5 for 5, and here’s how it works:

Get at least 5 new referrals who are NOT members of your household or sharing an address with you.
Each referral must earn 50 Swag Bucks after joining, not including any bonuses they may get during sign up.
Once your 5 (or more) referrals each earn that minimum of 50 Swag Bucks, you’ve qualified for a bonus of 500 Swag Bucks, which will be applied at the end of each month, so if you’ve get it done in October, you’ll earn your bonus early! If you earn it in November, you’ll get your bonus then.
Only one bonus per person. This is in addition to the 1000 in matching search bucks that can be earned from each referral.

Any new user who enters the code 5For5 during sign up will get a bonus 70 Swag Bucks, bringing them to a total 100 Swag Bucks to start with. The code is live now and will expire at 12pm PT on Monday, October 17th.

Toluna Accepting Applications (Paid Surveys)

September 28, 2011 by Tara Kuczykowski 2 Comments

I’m not that familiar with Toluna Survey Panel personally, but they came up quite frequently when I asked DSM readers about their favorite survey sites. From what I gather, you earn points worth $1 to $5 each time you qualify for and complete a survey. Plus you’ll also earn for the polls and opinion topics you create, and each time you participate in or complete a survey you’ll be entered into a monthly $4500 prize draw!

If this sounds like something you’d like to try, fill out the Toluna application now to get started. If you have experience with Toluna, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments!

Synovate Research Panel Open Again Now!

This went quickly when I posted it the other night, so I wanted to let you know that Synovate Global Opinion Research is taking applications again right now! Along with Pinecone Research, it’s one of the most frequently recommended paid survey panels by Deal Seeking Mom readers.

The main difference between Pinecone and Synovate is that you will not earn cash for every survey. With Synovate, you’ll earn points that you can redeem for cash once you reach a specified threshold. However, you will still have opportunities for product testing much like Pinecone.

Be sure to check out more legitimate paid survey sites here!
