Swagbucks for Beginners: My Honest Guide to Earning Extra Money One Point at a Time

How I’m Using Swagbucks to Help Pay for Christmas 2026

The Mommies Reviews

In the past I’ve used Swagbucks to not only pay for Christmas but for bills and to do things with my family. Then I stopped using it even though I had points accumulated. Since I play games on my phone every night I’ve decided to start something new this July, and I’m bringing you along with me.

I’m starting out with 11,218 Swagbucks, and my goal is to reach 30,000 by the end of the year. That may not sound like a lot to some people, but for me, it adds up to about $300 that can go toward Christmas shopping and extra household expenses.

I’m not doing this as a “get rich quick” idea. I’m doing it as a real-life challenge to see what small daily efforts can turn into over time.

My plan is simple:


I want to earn between 25 and 50 Swagbucks a day as my minimum. On better days, I’d like to hit 100 or more which can be done but it is hard. I also plan to complete daily challenges and take advantage of any bonuses or special offers that come up.

What I’m most curious about is this—if I stay consistent, what will it actually add up to by the end of the year? Even if I don’t hit my goal its going to be fine because even $1 can make a difference in my home. I just wish David and Charlie would join me as well because when there watching tv they could be using Swagbucks. But what do I know I’m only a mom.

I would like to invite you to join me each week, because I’ll be sharing my progress so you can see exactly what I earned, what worked, and what didn’t. If you’re looking for a simple way to earn a little extra money at home, you might want to follow along with me.

If you have teens at home that would like to earn a little extra money Swagbucks allows teens to join Swagbucks with guidance, and they can earn money as well. So this could be something families explore together as well.

Let’s see where this journey goes.
