Sunshine Rewards and Quick Rewards

[PirateKate]

Can anyone tell me if Sunshine Rewards and Quick Rewards are incompatible? I have heard that it is important to not do the same things on more than one site.

I currently use Sunshine Rewards. I don't do the shopping, mostly just the surveys. Lately, the site has been vexing. I have had technical problems and it runs slow and I waste a ton of time trying to complete surveys.

If I sign up for Quick Rewards, is it safe to assume the surveys would be different ones or should I stick to Sunshine Rewards surveys?

Also, is there any other sites you all would recommend? I am not crazy about giving out personal information, as most offers seem to require.

Thank you!

You may get more answers on the rewards board. I haven't posted there but I lurk every so often. I signed up for SR but have only been allowed to take one survey. I don't fit the demographic intended apparently

I like Mypoints somewhat. I have been doing my christmas shopping through them and have earned points really fast. The only thing to it is that out of over 2500 pts only 680-ish points are available AND I have two purchases through overstock (one for the beginning of Sept and one for the beginning of this week) that aren't even showing as pending or a purchase made. I clicked through just like I did on my Target order but the Target showed up within minutes and points became pending within a day or so but these are just NOT there though the clickthru is so I am crossing my fingers.

So I guess I will stick to MP for my Christmas shopping to get my points up to a good cash out amount. I wish I'd started with SR though, I think, due to the Disney rewards they offer.

I have so much trouble with mypoints, I just did an order with QVC so I'll see if those points show up as pending, right now they are not.

With Swagbucks my points are pending from the last Disneystore order (labor day weekend) and iTunes order (Aug 18th).

I have to say I am doing pretty well with swagbucks, I think I earn $10-$15 in amazon GCs a month.

I do SR for the most part..if the store isn't listed through them I do MyPoints. Lately I have been having trouble having credits for some purchases applied (SR), even though I did all the click thru, etc. They are very nice and submit to the companies, but really, what can they do if it's denied..so that's frustrating at times. I do imagine all the reward sites have this same issue..I know I set up getting Dish network through My Points and never got credit. Very hit or miss IMO.
The surveys also drive me nuts..I was well in a survey recently, answering very specific quiestion..about 10 minutes of them, then "sorry..you don't fit what we are looking for"..this happens fairly regularly. Still, they are the only one that give Disney cards, so it still works pretty good for me.

I haven't looked at Quick Rewards in a long time to know what surveys they offer. But for the most part, I believe SR and QR would put up surveys from the same companies and it is against the rules on both sites to take them in both places.
I believe that the rules actually come from the survey companies themselves- for example you are only allowed to take 2 Greenfield surveys per day no matter which site you take them from. You are only allowed to take one My Thoughts Count/ AMP per day no matter what site you take them from. The problem you could run into is that the rewards sites may not name the surveys the same so it would be hard to tell. If you are taking the surveys on more than one site it would probably raise a flag with the survey company and they would report that to the reward sites.
From what I have seen, Sunshine Rewards offers the most daily surveys right now- they have 7 surveys that you can try for each day. With all surveys on any site, it is going to come down to your demographics and the time you are able to put into them. If you do not qualify for a survey on SR (the one I am familiar with), you are able to continue to try until you qualify and complete each of the 7 surveys each day. Since the surveys are added at various times during the day, you should try at different times and see if you qualify.

I have been very successful with Sunshine Rewards over the years. I have made over $4,000 with them and am making about $120-150 per month right now taking the 7 daily surveys. I average about 5 surveys a day and take at least 150 in a month. I would say that for me, I only have about 2 or 3 surveys in a month that I completely finish that do not credit- a very small percentage. I also do quite a bit of shopping through SR and in 4 years, I have only filed about 10 trouble tickets for missing credits (which were credited). That's also a very small percentage compared to how many shopping transactions I have made through there. They are very good about following up and resolving trouble tickets when possible- but with any rewards site, their hands are tied to some extent as they have to work with the merchant to get the money.

If you are having technical issues with the surveys or shopping credits, check out the SR forum and see if the members can help you figure it out. There is a lot of information there on what type browsers people use, computer settings, when to clear cookies etc.

Good luck!

I am all about Quick Rewards. I love the site and how FAST cash outs are processed. Right now, they have 9 available daily surveys, with one allowing you to take up to 5 (for a total of 14 available surveys daily). When added up, you can made up to $7.65 a day on daily surveys. Plus, they add other surveys on a regular basis.

I started using Sunshine Rewards about a month ago and I'm almost at $25. That's the minimum for a Disney gift card. It can be a little time consuming as I keep getting rejected out of surveys. If I can do 2 it's a good day! Sometimes it's about 20 minutes before I stop getting that "try again" button!

Swagbucks on the other hand are a no brainer. I made it my homepage and use it for all searching. You can check the blog every now and then and there are swag codes that will give you extra bucks. You can search other sites to find codes, but I don't do all of that. Through regular searching (just replacing google really) I earn about $10 in Amazon cards a month. If I make purchases through one of their retailers (Vera Bradley!) then I've made more. I sent our old cell phones off to them and got a whole lot of rewards for that. All in all I've cashed in my Swag Bucks for $80 worth of Amazon gift cards in the last 6 months. It was a great way to buy my kids some Wii games for their b-days.

If you want a referral to swag bucks, PM your email address to me. Not sure if it gets you anymore points or not though...

I agree with this.

Im a little annoyed b/c I don't get ANY surveys for swagbucks anymore, maybe 3 a month and I am lucky if a qualify for 1, but I am still doing well and saving the Amazon giftcards to buy Christmas gifts for DD and my little cousins.

And then I am new to Surveyhead, I did a WHOLE SURVEY yesterday and at the end it said I did not qualify for
I was 95% DONE, they were asking me my income or ethnicity or something like that, I was so annoyed! I only have $9.85 w/ them and I need $25 to cash out.

I signed up for quickrewards but haven't had a chance to read up on it, I guess I will give that one a shot.

I have done quick points for months now and never seem to qualify for a survey. So I spend my time answering questions to find out half way through I am not who they are looking for and the survey ends with no points or money earned. So I tried mypoints. It might take a while to earn points but every time you try a survey you get 10 points even if you don't qualify. That makes me feel better. But the don't offer Disney GC. I just qualified for a $25 starbucks card. So I was excited about that. Not sure if this helps.

I have tried many survey and rewards sites but I have finally settled on Sunshine Rewards for the simple reason that it is run by actual people. When I have had crediting issues, I get a response from Cindy or Tricia not "customer service". I also get a response that actually addresses my question instead of a random form email. Mypoints is also notorious for randomly cancelling accounts. If you email them about it, they either don't answer at all or send another form email. I have NEVER had a message to SR ignored.

I like MyPoints because you can actually get a good amount of points just from click-thrus. I don't have time to try a lot of surveys and I find I rarely qualify for them anyway.

Sunshine is mostly surveys so I don't do very well there. I'm just trying to get enough to cash out & then I'll probably close my account on that one.

I also started QuickRewards & CreationsRewards recently. Both of those have surveys as well, but there's also opportunity to earn just from click-thrus & offers. From both sites I get at least 2 or 3 paid e-mails a day, and CR has a "Daily Checklist" where you can earn 2.5 pts per day just for clicking on all the items in the list.
