SBTV going crazy again for me today! Up to 232 just off SBTV! I don't know why it's been so great for me lately!

Have any of you cashed in your SBs for gas gift cards? I just noticed that the gas cards are not labeled as e-gift cards, while it seems that all other types are the e-cards. So do they come in the mail as actual cards? Kinda hope so, since actual cards would be more convenient to use at the pumps rather than e-cards.

Gas cards are the only physical gift cards, afaik

When you reach daily goal, are your credited for total bonus? I reached total goal was 260, total bonus 28. I did not see 28 added to my total SB amount. Am I understanding this wrong?

You only get credited the next month for all of them. August bonuses will credit by September 5th.

If you go to Watch and click on the Comedy category, the first one currently has only 2 videos to run for 4 SBs.

Thank you, I just found my July daily bonus.

I got 388 points off SBTV yesterday and am at 134 today (it crashed while I was at work, so I just restarted it) and still going.

So I see a lot of people posting here how they use swagbucks rewards to pay for large portions of their disney trips. How the heckfire do you manage this? I thought oh "free" money lol and signed up, but I just don't see getting much. Maybe I'm just not diligent enough. It seems like you'd make about .25-.50/hour

So to those of you who use swagbucks. How much time do you spend per day on it? About how much do you get per month?

I've used it here and there. I made about $50 in Amazon gift cards since Spring, but I haven't been using it a lot lately. The surveys have been disqualifying me after I have put in a significant amount of time, so now I mainly run videos while I do other things and buy stuff (groupon, etc.) through them. I don't see how I could pay for a Disney vacation (or even part of it...what parts are these people financing with Swagbucks?) with it.

I don't know I pretty much started this at the beginning of last month. So far I have scored on Perk a $25 Landry card (Go Rainforest and Trex!), a $25 Old Navy (Shopping outlets for wife), and about to cash out another $10 something tonight.

On Swagbucks I have gotten $10.00 Cracker Barrel, $25 Landry, $5 Dominos (kid loves their pizza), and will be cashing out another $40 today sometime.

I work doubles Monday through Friday and then work Sat and Sun night. I could only imagine what I would score if I was home all week night long as well as weekend nights. So I can see it totally possible that someone is financing their trip. As I see it in a month or two all my food will be paid for for the trip then I can move onto GAS/Visa cards , shopping or whatever. So If someone like me who is working it pretty casually can do it, someone with more time could be making a killing. Mind you I have been hitting the surveys alot. And I do miss out on quite a few but I have been hitting many as well. Very happy with both programs!

As far as financing, people could get Target cards and convert them to Disney Gift Cards. That would pay for part or tickets fully, gas cards for a car if you travel that way, and then restaurant cards for food. Target or Walmart for resort stuff. So they could virtually be paying for most or all of it.

Can you run it simultaneously on 4 laptops under the same member name?

I've learned via this thread how to maximize my SB earnings. Doing a lot of the tips and meeting my daily goals really increased my earnings. For example, I could never figure out Ncrave or why people even bothered. Then SB changed the "Watch" feature (which was a big earner for me). Now I make a lot from Ncrave (following the how-to's on here) and never use Watch.

I convert my SB into WalMart cards which I take to Sam's Club and buy discounted Disney cards there. I also used SB to buy Southwest cards at Sam's this month which paid for a one-way ticket to Orlando.

We decided in June to do an October trip, so not much Swagtime. It has still paid for a lot of this trip.
Next year we will go in December and I expect it to pay for a good portion.

Just double checking you can use a walmart ecard code at SAMs club to buy physical gift cards? I would prefer a gift card than the paper certficate.

I've been using the Walmart e-cards on the Sam's Club website to get Disney gift cards. Easy peasy! I've been getting a $50 Disney gift card each month, which Sam's Club discounts and sells for $48.88. Free shipping. They also sell a 3-pack of $50 Disney cards for just under $143.00, but I'd rather not stockpile the SBs or the Walmart e-cards until I have that much. So I just go ahead and order $50 cards as I go along.

I haven't tried to use the Walmart e-cards at the Sam's Club store itself to buy gift cards, so I don't know about that. Plus I've never seen just single $50 Disney cards at the store; I've only seen the 3-pack. So that's another reason it works better for me to order online instead of going to the Sam's Club store.

I wish, wish, wish I'd known of all this years ago!! Oh well, I need to be content to know about it now. There's nothing like free money for very little effort!

What are ncraves?

Click on Discover and you will see nCraves as one of the options. nCraves are various videos, articles or websites to check out for varying numbers of SBs.

Here's the key to making nCraves work for you with very little effort or time spent. Your first nCrave each day must be a manual one, meaning that you have to click through a slide show or short video list manually. Some of the video sets have you click either "Like It" or "Not for Me" before the next one will play. I usually open a couple choices until I find one with only 2 videos to play. It takes just a minute to get through it manually.

After you've done your one manual nCrave for the day, REFRESH the nCrave page. Then when you scroll down the page, you'll see a number of additional ones that have a little circle on the picture. Those ones have a setting you can choose that will play through all the videos automatically while you go and do other things. When you open one with the little circle, look in the top left corner for the words "Discovery Mode". Put a check mark in the box, and then it will run automatically.

You will soon learn which ones are worth higher numbers of SBs. For example, right now there is one called Entertainment that has a picture of a purple disco ball. That one is worth 6 SBs. There's also one with a picture of a woman running in the woods. That's also worth 6 SBs. The cool thing about nCraves is that you can play the same ones over and over on the same day. The down side is that some days they are very glitchy and crash or freeze part way through.

You cannot click away from the page while an nCrave is running automatically, although I've sometimes been able to open a new tab on Chrome and do other things on the internet while the nCrave continues running on its own tab. Other times for some reason, that doesn't work for me. But usually I run nCraves when I'm doing other things anyway, like washing dishes, taking a shower, whatever - times when I don't need to be on my laptop anyway.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Wow thanks for the tip about Sams! Never thought of that...but going to grab those discounted ones now!

I would add that the other problem is that you have to run a ton of videos to get those 6 swags! When I can get 4 for two short comedy videos...the value is questionable.

Thank you so much for this! Would you happen to know why my nCrave page is blank? Is it because I'm using firefox?

Thank you for taking the time to write this out and explain it!!! I've been trying to figure out how people use the Ncraves effectively but i've been a little to timid to ask. I'll definitely be using these now!
