Those using swagbucks ???

[justlook3]

I think the poster misspoke (typed). Neither are apps. The Jun videos can sometimes be found on the front page of Swagbucks. You'll see a pic of a guy on a laptop. Encrave is the new name for the "Activities" section. Encrave is the company that provides them. Hope that helps.

Oh thanks i got excited thinking there were 2 new apps

I do a lot of the Discover >> Special Offers. They're usually 30 points or more and I set them up to go to a junk email address.

so the email address that you sign up with for the special offers doesn't have to match your swagbucks email address?

Do you have a pop up blocker or Ad-Block on? They might be blocking the games.

I know that the pop up blocker is off - not sure about the Ad-Block, but I found that they are working fine if I play them in Chrome, so I'm just doing that.

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know when they credit your account with the daily bonus swag?

Your goal will continue to be that high if you continue to reach it. Mine has been 100 the past few days. Not that hard to get when 80 can be reached from the apps. Run encrave while doing the dishes or making dinner. Run the tv in the background while doing other things.

The more you keep hitting those daily goals, the more they eventually go up. If you stop hitting them for a while, they'll go down again. That's basically what happened with me. I started strong... The daily goal kept going up.... Then it just got a little too high for me (like around 90). After doing about 30/40 for a bit. It's now back down to a manageable daily goal range.

Easy to do. Run the Swagbucks mobile app until it maxes out. That is 50. Then run the EntertaiNow app (now available for BOTH Android and iPhone!!!!). That is another 40. That makes your daily total 90. Do a few searches or run the TV for bit, or do the Encrave* and you have over a hundred easy.

*for the Encrave, if you look for the ones with the blue circle looking icon on the bottom of the picture...Just click it and it will automatically fun through all the videos. They are worth either 2, 3, 4, or 6 each run. Easy to start and walk away.

I run encrave all day too. You can get up to 100 points a day.

I'm trying to do the Encrave, but I don't think I got any points for if.

I went to Discover -- Encrave and chose one with the blue circle icon on the bottom of picture (the first one was sports, sports, sports). I watched about 10 of the videos on the section and then just closed out and I haven't gotten any points from them. Should they show up later? Or did I do something wrong?

I did not have the "discovery mode" turned on. Could that be my problem? I did occasionally interact with it and click on the LIke it icon as well.

I do like how they run on their own. I pulled it up in Chrome and could basically do whatever I wanted on IE or anything else on my computer. But, I obviously want the points to credit lol!

I'm pretty sure you can get more than 100 a day in Encrave. I'm up to 141 for today in Activities which is Encrave plus AOL answers.

If the "Discovery Mode" Encrave you need to leave that page open until you get a pop up box saying you've been awarded Swagbucks. If you didn't get any SB I'm guessing you are shutting down that last video too soon.

Ah yes. "Sports" is usually 20 videos. Encrave is an all or nothing Activity. If you shut it down before the end, you get nothing. Sorry.

Thanks for the help! I tried it again and let them all play this time. Very easy and I got my points.

I'm learning in baby steps, but that's ok. Every little bit helps!

Thanks again!

I love me swagbucks. I've been doing it for years, but I've really stepped up my game this year, and since Jan 1, I've earned $320. I'm not cashing it in (for paypal) until a few weeks before our Disney trip in Sept.

I love free money!

I just started a few weeks ago and haven't cashed in any points yet. If I'm planning to get Amazon gift cards, it seems like the best way to go is the $5 gift card for 450 points. So, I have 1800 points. Can I redeem them for four gift cards, $5 each? Then can I use all of the gift cards on the same purchase at Amazon?

I'd appreciate any other advice about the best way to maximize the points for gift cards. Thanks! I've learned a lot on this thread.

If you want Amazon the $5 is the way to go. You are limited to five $5 per month. You can add them to your amazon account to use later.

Thanks! That's what I was wondering.

OK, now a question about Encrave. Can I click on something (like "sports sports sports") and then just let it run until a message pops up that I earned swag bucks? Or do I need to click through each video?

Do I need to click the "Like" or "not for me" buttons?

Thanks.

You can let it run. Just make sure you click the check box and it's showing an x
