How many swagbucks have you really earned?

[TheDisneyDoll]

I know the swagbucks page can be overwhelming for people looking into starting, and there can be a lot of hesitation about whether or not all the time is really worth the reward.


I thought it would be interesting to have people share what their life time swag total is.
It could be a little encouragement for anyone who has considered joining in the past, just to show it really is worth the time.


If you're willing to share include how long you've been using swagbucks, and what your lifetime swagbuck total is!
For those of you new to swagbucks each buck is worth roughly a penn so 10,000 swagbucks is equal to roughly $100 that's not including gift card sales and things like that though.

I started one year ago tomorrow! I've earned 33,040 swagbucks. However, I did not use swagbucks at all really between April through July this year. I got back into it after I started coming on the Budget Board. That was when I discovered SBTV as well, so I've really been on a roll since then.

I started about...a year ago the other day. I've earned 133,565 in the year, plus I got into a few studies that did Amazon gift cards which totaled about... $250. I kinda slacked in November and December of last year, but I made it a New Years resolution to be as diligent as possible. I only didn't hit a first goal for three days of the year so far. In that time, it's paid for a huge chunk of my upcoming vacation, my Halloween costume, and now I'm earning some money for a one day two park ticket to DLR for two when I go next year.

I looked at my ledger and it says I started my current account on 1/08/2013. I'm not sure but I think I had an account that I started and abandoned before then. I used to do some other sites but lately it's mostly been Perk and Swagbucks because I don't have the time anymore. My lifetime Swagbucks total on my current account is 212,561. My husband and 2 older kids also started accounts when Swagbucks opened up for multiple accounts in one household but those run on different computers and devices and I'm not sure how much they've made.

We have been doing various sites and surveys for quite awhile now and a couple of years ago we started an investment account - Swagbucks, Perk, Surveys, mTurk, some garage sale money etc etc, where most of our "extra" earnings gets swept into. Every once in awhile we use it for something else like gift cards for Christmas but we try to put most of it into the Investment account. Right now I mostly cash out in Walmart Gift cards and use those to grocery shop, then I put the grocery money into our Investment Account. Our balance in that account is now approaching $6500.

What do you guys do on swagbucks? I just downloaded the app and I am so overwhelmed/confused. Are you doing surveys? Letting the sbtv app run indefinitely? What do you do?

 

[Narnia_girl]

I started Swagbucks at the beginning of 2015.

So far I've earned 43,655 SB. I've cashed in $450 worth of gift cards.

Besides the cash earnings, doing Swagbucks has netted me:
a brand new Roomba 980 vacuum (retail $899) ---reward for an in-home test
2 pair of cotton underwear
$25 in Amazon gift cards as a reward for an online panel participation

I joined in Sept 2014 and have earned over 83K points, most of which have been redeemed for Target GCs.

 

[crazymomof4]

[JenzyHP]

I've made 89,858 on my husband's and 93,567 on mine since February 2014. I referred my husband.

Where is SBTV? I've tried watching videos, but they're all ones I have click to continue to advance. I thought I read on here about someone letting it run over night?

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

I started a year ago and so far I have gotten 2 25.00 target gift cards and have 800 points in my account now.

I can't run sbtv or things like that because it uses up too much Internet bandwidth so it takes some time to earn enough for gift cards.

Joined January 2011. Lifetime earnings is 289,105. I took 5 months off in 2012 and 4 months in 2013. I have no idea the totals on giftcards that I've cashed out.

 

[ThisIsJason]

Joined in late October/Early November 2011. Have just over 280,000.

It's an app you download. It has a limit of 36 SB per day, but there are often bonuses that will keep giving points after that. SBTV awards 2 SB after 5 videos, there are other apps also that you can run (some are EntertaiNow, Lifestylz, and Sportly), but they require higher amounts of videos to get points and have lower daily earning limits.

I joined SB a year ago and have kept my earnings to about $50 per month because I want to keep it under $600 for the year. I know people have said they don't send 1099's but I don't want to risk that they might start.

 

[LetsDoDisney!]

I can't find where my start date is, do you guys know how to find it? I know it's been a few years. Lifetime SB earned is 196,167. Almost $2k - love it!

I'll be the stick in the mud. I did it for like 3 or 4 months a few years ago and cashed in a handful of amazon gift cards. I didn't feel like the hassles and time put in was worth the amount I was getting. I didn't have a smartphone, so I had to everything on my computer. The toolbar (which may have improved since then) used to crash my computer and filling out the pre-surveys was too time consuming for the few times I'd succeed in qualifying for an actual survey. (essentially the hourly rate was peanuts and the hassles were huge)

Having said that, I just started using Ibotta in the middle of August and have accumulated over $38 in earnings so far. Very little time and hassle required.

 

[LinderInWonderland]

I joined 8/18/15 and have earned 7573, cashing out $75 to PayPal. DH has earned 2400 points since then. He basically just runs SBTV every night, doing a survey here and there. I have gotten most of my points by using offers, some surveys and watching videos. Once I get an iPhone (I use a Windows phone now), I will be able to run SBTV as well.

Our plans for this money are to use the cash to buy Disney gift cards for our 2016 trip. I will use my Target Red card to save 5% as well.

Those of you who have earned over 50k in a year, what's your secret?! I feel like I'm doing surveys pretty regularly and run SBTV and usually Lifestylz everyday. Help me get on your level! Lol

I don't do surveys, nor do I shop through their portal or have any referrals. I just do the mobile videos (SBTV, Lifestylez, etc). I also do the nCrave when they actually appear for me. Right now, there have been none for the last 3 days. I make every effort to meet the daily goal and to get the winning streaks so that I get bonus SB each month and I try to participate in any of the team challenges when they are offered. That's it. I spend more time (and earn more) with Perk than I do with SB.
