Really struggling at the moment which I'm sure many of us are. With a newborn on the way I'm looking to make some extra pocket money! Any ideas?!

@EmmaC78
I don't know whether you are still doing You Gov but in the last two weeks there has been a survey every day so might be a good time to look again.
Did you ever get pulse installed?

Absolutely make sure the money you do have is going to the right places first if you haven't already.
( eg shopping around with insurance etc)

129orbust · 01/02/2022 12:51

I have done @wtfisgoingonhere21

I've been using an app called Freetrade lately which is a trading app but they have a great free share referral scheme. When you sign up for the app via a referral link, you are credited when a free share worth between £3-£200. Then each time you refer a friend (up to 10 referrals per month), you both get a free share. I've made about £50 just from 4 or 5 referrals. You do need to deposit £1 into the app to claim the free share but you can then withdraw it again once the free share has come through. My referral link is below!

129orbust · 11/03/2022 11:36

I might give that a go sophiar.

For any of you Swagbucker's there's a new challenge coming up for St. Patrick's day - always fun being part of a team.

Some small things I have done that I would recommend is surveys. My favourite is AttaPoll, it's just a few quid a day while I'm sat watching telly but the tenner a week keeps my sons pocket money in check.
Download the app using this link and you get 40p to get started
attapoll.app/join/skawm

Also quidco is a cashback site. If you use my link you get an extra 5 pounds when your cashback first clears. I did all my online Xmas shopping online and lots of food shopping. I have 85 quid so far and 300 waiting to clear. I'm saving it all up for next Xmas as you can get an extra ten per cent withdrawing as vouchers so I'm going to get Nike vouchers and get each DC a new Nike tracksuit or trainers.

Hope you find them helpful x

dogmumma · 22/03/2022 23:03

@123orbust abit late to the party - but I'd love some info on this panels stuff if possible x

129orbust · 30/03/2022 15:26

Hi @dogmumma I missed your request as I'm 129orbust not yet 123 BUT as it is my weight loss target 123 is a good one.🤣
I have sent you a pm

126orbust · 09/04/2022 19:18

As you can see @dogmumma I have moved down a weight band. I you need any assistance, just ask.

LostLlamaSociety · 01/05/2022 14:49

I've just received a free share worth £24 from Freetrade. You have to keep it for 30 days before you can sell it, but I might stick with mine and see what happens.

Anyway, if you use my link to sign up and deposit £1, you too will receive a share with a value between £3 and £200.

tootsnwoocake · 19/06/2022 21:14

Thanks, I've signed up to Freetrade using the link above.

I also use AttaPoll for kids pocket money. I can make £10 a week on a good week which is a bit of a help these days. If you sign up using a referral link you get a 40p start ( I get a 20p bonus). My link is -

PiggyPokkyFool · 26/06/2022 20:43

@EmmaC78 if you are still doing surveys then YouGov are giving £5 for every bank account you link on open banking - even those savings one that have 1p in!
www.yougov.finance/portal/accounts/
Hope it works for you.

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 30/09/2022 09:08

For all you Swagbuckers out there - they have slashed the Paypal redemption level from 1400 points to 1000 - ideal timing as we all need to make as much money as possible.
Absolutely brilliant site! If anyone needs any help then just ask.

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 18/10/2022 23:07

Swagbuckers - there's a set of collectors bills launched too: details from the blog.

I just got a 5 and two 15's

Also, there's a team event to join where you can pick up lots of tips on how to earn the most amount of points from experienced users AND get a discount on your next gift card:

Good luck and as usual if anyone needs any help just ask.

Milkyworm · 19/10/2022 16:05

onelink.to/streetbees with code 73773X
superpay.me?ref=Babybear
If you want to try them out.

Milkyworm · 21/10/2022 15:09

I managed to earn £3.20 from superpay.me earlier, 75p from qmee,and I have got a few stories on streetbees lined up for over the weekend.It's not loads of money,but to me it really helps.

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 22/10/2022 18:44

Thanks @Milkyworm at this point it's great to add extra income.

I get arounf £50 a week from Swagbucks:
That's my referral link in case you fancy trying them:

www.swagbucks.com/refer/MooWinner

Earn 300 points (£3) in the first 30 days and they give you a 300 point bonus (free £3).

And I get £50 every six weeks from You Gov :

yougov.co.uk/refer/5n4orle6y-iGn-xFyNEk-w/

Less obviously but you qualify for every survey they send you and it is really very little effort.

Hope they work for you.

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 22/10/2022 18:46

Try again for the clicky link

yougov.co.uk/refer/5n4orle6y-iGn-xFyNEk-w/

Was126orbustandmaybebust · 22/10/2022 18:46

Ah I give up - copy and paste it! 🙄😂

mum2jakie · 22/10/2022 18:47

How on earth do you get £50 every six weeks on YouGov? Takes me closer to six years to reach payout!!
