Share Your Rewards Toward Disney: Week of 10/29/17-11/04/17

[Marionnette]

It's the start of a new week - and we're beginning a new month this week, too! Welcome back to those who have been posting and to any new members who have decided to join us. The rules are simple. Just post your daily rewards progress once and edit the post every time you earn something. For inspiration, here's last week's thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/s...ard-disney-week-of-10-22-17-10-28-17.3642596/

I'm hoping to do better this week than I did last week. I got off to a slow start after returning from my vacation. But now that I have another trip in the works for next fall, I have motivation to earn as much as I can.

Sunday

• Redeemed for $25 Target GC on Perk.
• Met my first and second goals on SB.

Monday

• Met my first SB goal.
• Found a renter for my DVC points and I am moving forward with the reservation. I should have the PayPal money later this week!
• Received $25 PayPal from SB.
• Received $25 Target GC from Perk

Tuesday

• Redeemed for a $25 Target GC on Perk
• Redeemed for $25 PayPal on EarnHoney
  
• Met first goal on SB (it was really low today!) and should make the second goal as well.Ran errands and collected 310 Shopkicks.
• Submitted receipts to iBotta totalling $17.50 in rebates.
• Submitted receipts to Receipt Hog and Fetch.
• Submitted a receipt to Checkout51 for $1.00

Wednesday

• Had a rough time reaching even the first SB goal. Apps kept crashing and nCraves frequently stopped running halfway through.
• Made more than I expected on the receipt that I submitted to iBotta. Got a total of $18.30 for the items that I submitted and then $6.00 in bonuses.
• Received the deposit for my DVC rental. I won't say how much it was but it should cover about half of my dues for next year, which means that I can move forward with getting a two DVC PAPs with my Disney GCs.
• Claimed the Best Buy Amex offer ($25 statement credit for spending $250) on 3 of my 4 AmEx accounts.
• Received a $25 Target GC from Perk.
• Redeemed for a $10 Target GC on Shopkick

Thursday

• Limped along to my first goal on SB. Got 573 SB bonus for October.
• Redeemed $25 Best Buy GC from SB + $25 Best Buy Rewards Certificate + $5 Rewards Certificate Mystery Reward to purchase a $305 Disney GC using my AmEx. Already got the email stating that I had used my $25 statement credit offer.
• Redeemed a $25 Target GC from Perk for a $25 Disney GC.
• Collected 2,400 Shopkicks with possibly 275 more from Best Buy (if the cashier scanned the QR code right). I could have gotten a lot more but after being asked if I needed help over 20 times in Best Buy, I got fed up and quit.
• Submitted receipts for iBotta totaling $2.00.
• Submitted receipts to Fetch, Receipt Hog and Receipt Pal.
• Signed up for Samsung Pay with my Mastercard Debit card. Used it 3 times for small purchases. Earned a $10 Amazon GC and a $5 Visa GC.

Friday

• Redeemed for a $25 Target GC on SB
• Received a $9.13 credit on Amazon for a class action suit involving price setting for ebooks.

Saturday

• Met my SB first goal. Painfully slow earning on nCraves.
• Earned $20 cash back on iBotta for a Petsmart.com order. Cash will be pending for up to 90 days!!!!

Sunday

• a very slow day, just 39 swagbucks

Monday

• $3.35 in credit card rewards posted
• 265 swagbucks (hooray for a short 250 point survey) which met 2nd goal
• completed 2 mturk surveys for 90c

Tuesday

• Decided to do the home chef deal on swagbucks since it gave me 2000 swagbucks plus qualified me for the 600 discover bonus--and it only cost $20 (plus 2 free meals). I ended the day with a couple of big search wins and ended with 2154 swagbucks for the day.
• I just redeemed for $25 PayPal on swagbucks since that still left me enough points to get my discounted $25 gift card tomorrow.
• Finished 2 mturk surveys for $1.50

Wednesday

• Qualified for an easy 350 point survey on swagbucks, so ended the day with 382 swagbucks (met both goals).
• Redeemed swagbucks for a $25 amazon gift card and started the transfer of my PayPal money to the bank.
• Completed 2 mturk surveys worth $2.05

Thursday

• $2.01 in credit card rewards posted
• Got my swagbucks October bonus (367) and earned another 106 which just about met my first goal
• Got my $25 PayPal and my $25 amazon gc. I'm reimbursing my checking account for the $19.80 I spent on home chef, so I transferred the remaining $30.20 to my savings account
• Found an mturk task that pays $16. I was able to complete it, so hopefully it will pay out! I'm always a little skeptical of the high paying tasks.

Friday

• 40c in credit card rewards posted
• 147 swagbucks (first goal). I also got 2 free jars of tomato sauce from a home-test survey I did a while ago so a nice perk for the grocery budget
• completed 2 mturk surveys for $2
• picked up $1 in ibotta rebates (but annoyingly my phone battery died so I couldn't pick up any shopkick points while out running errands at lunch)

Saturday

• 193 swagbucks (met second goal)
• finished a mturk survey worth $2

Balances (weekly/total)

• $30.20/$580.55 savings account (earmarked for Disney)

***I am on a role! My first goals of Walmart $25 and $25 paypal are already redeemed! Now onto more hotels.com giftcards for next christmas vacation **

October went pretty well for me. I made $80 in walmart, $15 in amazon & $10 in burger king for Christmas. That was all from Swagbucks. I also redeemed $10 in amazon from Smore. I'm hoping I can keep it up.

Sunday
Day 3 of my 4-day work weekend continued. I let the nCraves run at home and DH also did his too. Between the nCraves and the referrals I met my first and second daily goals and ended the day with 222 SB.

Monday
Finally...it's my Friday!! I had the AYCE running while I was at work but apparently, it didn't give me nearly as many rounds as it has in the past because I came home and saw that I only had about 110 SB. Thank goodness my first goal was only 96. My second goal was 150 so I tried a few surveys before bed and couldn't qualify for any. I also found that my nCraves were gone so I ended the day with a respectable 123 SB...not my best, but not bad for almost no effort.

Tuesday
I've made 61 SB today, which easily made the first goal (only 31), and it's only been nCraves that are running a whopping 1 SB at a time, and an 11 SB search win. After a few failed survey attempts and 4 SBs from DHs referrals, I finished the day with 118 SB.

I also had a successful plasma donation which added another $20 to the cash account.


What are my goals for the month? Hmmm....mostly just to earn as many SwagBucks as I can without spending any money that I would not otherwise be spending (i.e. not paying $10 for something because I get 1000 SB...the 1000 SB go to vacation and the $10 comes out of the bank..2 different budgets!). My other goal is to earn at least $180 from plasma donations. My schedule allows me to donate on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to the fact that they are closed on Thanksgiving and I work the day after, I won't get my second donation that week ($50) so the most I could make is $230 for the month. I am setting my goal at $180 because that will give me a "mulligan" in case I don't qualify. Obviously, I have very little control over what my blood levels are...I eat right and take care of myself and I never know what the readings will be from day to day...I just have to try.

November goals (may as well bump this by doing a separate post):

• Redeem for a $25 gift card and $25 PayPal from swagbucks (I already have more than enough for the gift card, so this should be easy unless the holiday really throws me off.)
• Earn $20 on mturk (this is much lower than my normal rate, but I've been seeing less surveys lately and I won't be using it as much over Thanksgiving week so lowering my expectations.)
• Redeem a $10 gift card on shopkick
• Earn $30 in credit card rewards

I am still dealing with the move so this week is another one up in the air! I have managed to reach my first goal everyday - even on the 2 days we did not have internet I took my phone to work and let it run. DH was not as crafty and mkssed his goal those 2 days, he does not pay much attention to it anyway just starts nCraves on laptop and one of the apps. Entertainnow has been a good one to just let run.

I also sold some stuff on a fb group, came to $30. It is super annoying when ppl try to haggle with you over a $5 fan.

My monthly goals are always the same
$150 on swagbucks
$50 on MyPoints
$25 on Perk (if that much!)
$10 Bing
$20 Crowdtap
$50 Ebay/fb

All my other sites do not have a set goal, sometimes I do great other times not so great. Every little bit helps!

• Received a $25 Target GC from Perk.

You have this on every day. Are you earning $25 a day? Can you give me some tips?

I redeem on Sundays, Tuedays and Thursdays. Perks pays on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so that's when I receive the eGC. I'm actually getting a $25 GC 2-3 times per week.

Tuesday

• Cashed in $25.45 from Ibotta

Thursday

• $25 Darden Restaurants gift card from Swagbucks

It's been a rough week...personally, and from a rewards standpoint, so I have some catching up to do. I tried to check my "Activity" ledger, but it is showing as empty so there is a glitch somewhere. I am using my daily goal totals, which aren't exactly accurate because there are referral earnings too which are not included.

Sunday
I worked my 3rd 12-hour shift in a row today....somehow managed 209 SB

Monday
Finally finished my weekend, working my final 12-hour shift, got out an hour late and managed to get only 52 SB for the day.

Tuesday
Took the kids to school, did my plasma donation ($20) which ended up running really late, had to call my dad to pick up older DD at school which lets out early on Tuesday's, and then headed home to get the house ready (i.e. dog-proofed) for the trick-or-treating festivities. Managed to get 114 SB today.

Wednesday
After a short night of sleep, 3am came way too early, but it was back to work for my final (or so I thought) 12-hour shift of the week. This was when the week really started to go downhill...nCraves went away and I managed a whopping 23 SB for the day.

Thursday
I woke up at 6:30 to get the kids ready for school and checked FB to see that several of my co-workers had suddenly changed their profile pictures to the Star of Life with a black mourning band. I found out that one of our paramedic interns had lost her battle with bipolar disorder and taken her own life around 3am. I knew her, but I was not close with her. I was, however, close with many of her friends. I immediately called my supervisor and told her that I would come in and cover the 12-hour shift that started at noon that her close friend was scheduled to work. I knew there was no way she'd be mentally fit to handle working. I had to help out, it just felt right. I was exhausted and I really needed a day off, but I couldn't stay home under the circumstances. I worked noon-midnight and came home and crashed into bed.

Anyways, the $50 plasma donation never happened and Swagbucks ran for a whopping 33 SB for the day. Overall, I can say that this day was not a good one at all.

Friday
Even though this was supposed to be my weekend off, it has turned out to be quite the opposite. Due to a lot of things (not just the tragedy from yesterday), we have found ourselves very short-handed. I ended up working another 8.5 hours today (3-11:30pm) which meant I was not able to get my second plasma donation attempt this week. I did manage to get a better run of nCraves and I was able to meet my goal and managed 124 SB yesterday. The nCraves actually ran all night too and I was already halfway to Saturday's goal when I woke up

Saturday
Yipppeee!!! A day off!!! ....WRONG...I'm such a nice person...my supervisor asked me to cover 6 hours for him tonight so he could go to a wedding. Oh for heaven's sake...I guess, why not? I get a 4-day weekend off and I end up working 3 of the 4. It will be nice on the paycheck. I have a 180 SB shop credit that will clear today, I remembered to start the Lifestylz app on my phone this morning while I am getting ready for my other stuff that has to get done, and I already have the AYCE nCrave running on the computer. I am halfway to my first goal and the I won't have any problems hitting the second goal either. Of course, DH is home from work sick and DD12 has to go to her DI practice from 10-2 and the school craft sale is today as well. Plus I offered to work from 6pm-midnight so I guess a nap is now out of the question...oh well, I'll just add a Starbucks stop to the agenda.
