How to Get More Facebook Coins

Kristie Sweet

Facebook is a popular social networking site because it allows users to stay in contact with friends and family, upload photos, share news, post personal information and learn what others are doing. Facebook serves over 750 million people, which illustrates its popularity. But some people enjoy the other aspects of Facebook as well, including games and quizzes. Most games allow Facebook users to play for a limited time for free, but playing long-term sometimes requires payment in the form of Facebook coins. The site gives numerous opportunities for earning coins such as answering questions about other users or purchasing services and products.

Offers

Facebook lists various offers that result in coins for users. Some require the input of information and requesting information about a service. For instance, one offer allowed 150 coins for filling out a request for a health insurance quote. Others require users to make a purchase. For instance, at one point Facebook offered nearly 700 coins for subscribing to magazines such as Good Housekeeping. Credit card applications are common, often resulting in larger numbers of coins. A Discover card application could net a user 6,000 coins at one point.

Surveys

Facebook and other companies appreciate user input, so filling out surveys may also result in coins for games and other apps. Users sign up for panels or complete individual surveys to receive between 50 and 150 coins. Some companies offer further incentives of cash.

Purchase

Some Facebook users get coins simply by purchasing them. In mid-2011, 375 coins cost $5. Purchases can be made via PayPal, credit card or even through the phone.

Play

Probably the most fun way to earn coins is by playing the games available at Facebook. Some give coins as prizes. For instance, if you play The Truth Game, you get one coin for each question you respond to about friends on your list. You can receive a bonus of four additional coins for every 25 questions you respond to.
