Those using swagbucks ???

Those that have multiple phones running ...do you buy extra phones? Anything cheap you recommend?

Are you talking about SB? I really don't think that you need more than one device for SB. There's a cap to the number of points you can earn each day and one device can easily reach that cap all on its own.

For Perk, I use old iPhones, iPads, iPods and hand-me-down android phones from the family that I get when they upgrade. The phones do not need to be activated to work over wi-fi. I wouldn't recommend just going out and buying phones in order to participate in a rewards program. You could have the rug yanked out from under you before you recover the money that you spent to purchase them. But the reddit subforum that is dedicated to Perk often lists the best phones for doing it. Most of them are cheaper, pre-paid androids. There is a weekly thread that lists the cheapest devices each week.

When are the bonus SB awarded? I met my 7 day winning streak a few days ago. Shows I have the "Seven Day Star" but I don't see that I was awarded 25 SB. Is it at the end of the month?

You won't get those until next month. I believe that they try to award it by the 5th of the month. I have gotten it early on occasion.

And you will only get which ever streak you reach last. So if you end the month with a 21 day streak you will only get the bonus for the 21 day. Not the 7, 14, & 21 day.

Question on that...I always noticed between hitting the goal 28 days in a row and the end of the month, the 7 day star highlighted as well as the 21 day star. Do you still get just the 21 day goal? Like, say I only met 29 days of the month. I've never done it but I've always wondered.

For 28 days you get 21 + 7, but not 7, 14, 21, 7+21

Thanks to whoever suggested letting the phone run SwagTV while they got ready in the morning. I went to bed very late last night, and turned on SwagTV while my phone was plugged in, leaving it running. When I got up, the 36 sb had credited + 8 bonus sbs.

EnGage finally showed back up for me.

 

[auger]

Ok, I have a question. I clicked on NGAGE and went through the video cycle twenty times. It ended each cycle tellng me that i earned the 2 SB. But when I went back to the SB home page and refreshed it, I only received credit for one round.
Should I submit a ticket about it, or was it a glitch that allowed me to do it over and over? I know I have been able to do that before, and I received credit for each round of videos. So I am guessing it isn't a glitch. But before I waste my time and theirs, I thought I would ask if anyone has had this issue.

 

[mommy2twingles]

I was able to do ngage multiple times and was creditted each time. Sounds like you had a glitch

 

[auger]

So, are you saying i should have gotten credit, and I should submit a trouble ticket for it?

I have 2 Virgin Kyocera Events ($15 at Target) and 2 MetroPCS ZTEs ($10 at MetroPCS). Got them 9-10 months ago and they are very much worth it. For Android phones they just need to be version 4.4 or better. You don't activate them, just use your WiFi.

 

[crazymomof4]

Thanks Marionette and disneychrista for answering those questions of mine!

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of issues over the past three days or so? I have had to submit a trouble ticket each of those days, whereas previously, I hadn't had to submit a single one since I started at the beginning of the month. Is it just me, or is there something going on?

No issues requiring me to submit a ticket, but for probably the last week up until two days ago I couldn't get Daily Crave to work at all.

So.... each day so far I've met my first daily goal and most days I've met the 2nd goal as well. Next to the amount of the goal is the amount of the bonus when you achieve that.
Question: When are those daily bonuses awarded? bc I've not been seeing them in "My Swag Bucks" tally page.

Those bonuses, as well as the winning streak bonuses (7 days, etc.), are paid out the next month. Usually on the 5th.

OK thanks!

Darn close! But not by using SB alone. I think that it would take multiple accounts and a lot of time to achieve that goal with SB alone.

We have combined CC rewards and rewards programs like MyPoints, eBates, SB and Perk to get our November vacation paid for entirely.

I haven't tried Perk yet. My DH might actually die if I try to add one more thing. LOL He can't understand why I'm always on the laptop half-watching TV with him in the evenings.


I do MyPoints, Zoombucks, and several survey sites. If Irazoo has a bonus code I add it, but I don't actively do the activities there. Also, BzzAgent rewards you with MyPoints for activities (plus you get to review cool stuff).

I'm curious how you use/earn with MyPoints? Just as a shopping portal or the other activities? And what is the investment, time-wise?

MyPoints sends out BonusMail, which are basically e-mails that you click thru to earn 5 points. It can bog down your inbox so if you haven't signed up yet, I would suggest using an email account that you don't use for your everyday mail. The only shopping I do through MyPoints is when I purchase my Disney gift cards from Target. They are the only shopping portal that I've found that offers rewards for gift card purchase. For every $100 Disney gift card I order (at $95), I earn 95 MyPoints. It isn't much, but it's something. I used to rack up a LOT of points when they offered 3,000 points for a $40 Lancome purchase. When they eliminated that offer (about 2 years ago), I switched over to Sunshine Rewards and Ebates for my shopping needs.
