by 1 Comment

 
Here’s another fun team challenge to help you earn SB from Swagbucks! For those of you who don’t know what Swagbucks is, it’s a website where you can earn cash back on everyday tasks you do online like shopping, answering surveys, discovering deals, and watching videos. You can even earn for searching the web!

If you’ve never tried Swagbucks before because you didn’t know where to begin, their Team Challenges are a great way to learn the ropes! Their latest, the Spring Reading Team Challenge, begins Monday, March 13th.

Here’s how you can join the challenge and the site:

1. Click here to join the challenge and be assigned to a team. Pre-registration is going on right now! If you don’t already have an account, you can sign up on this page as well.
2. Starting March 20th at 8am PT, in addition to earning SB, you’ll contribute points to your teams total as you complete different activities on Swagbucks.
3. Check back on the page often to see the scores and what you’ve contribute so far.

All members who participate and contribute at least 400 points to their team’s total will receive a SB bonus in the form of a SB Swag Up Rebate on their next gift card! Not only that, but if you earn 300 SB before April 1st, you’ll get a 300 SB bonus (as long as you’ve signed up under me)!

Members of the 1st place team will receive a 50 SB Swag Up Rebate, members of the 2nd place team will receive a 25 SB Swag Up Rebate, members of the 3rd place team will receive a 10 SB Swag Up Rebate.

Get Great Deals When Doing Your Holiday Shopping With Swagbucks!

Now that the holidays are in full gear, you can get great deals and cash back for shopping through Swagbucks! Just go here and see all of the great cash back you can get from some of your favorite stores.

Here’s how it works:

1. Click here to see the stores offering deals and cash back.
2. Click through to the store(s) of your choice and do some shopping!
3. Get cash back in the form of points (called SB) that you can redeem for free gift cards so you can stretch your holiday budget even further!

As an extra bonus, if you’re not a Swagbucks member and join through my link (or you’ve joined through my link this month), you’ll get an one time 200 SB bonus when you spend $25 or more in any of the Swagbucks Shop stores before January 1st!

Swagbucks is a great site where you earn SB points for doing every day things online like shopping, discovering deals, taking surveys, watching videos, searching the web, and more. The SB you earn, the more gift cards you can get, which are a HUGE help this time of year. I’ve already purchased a number of gifts off of Amazon with the gift cards I’ve earned over the past year!

$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.
