Those using swagbucks ???

[afan]

They had posted a swagblog entry that weekend goals were going to go up because people had so much more free time (kind of made it out like an "opportunity" to earn more bonuses). They got a lot of flack on the blog so they took the entry down, but apparently kept the goals higher....

That's uber annoying and not the case for everyone. I hope they increase the number of surveys available on the weekends then because they are often hard to come by. If they are going to assume people have more time they shouldn't reduce the opportunities like they had been, though I'm sure it'll be the same.

ETA: I take it back for now. I've already done one survey and there's still a few available to do, even a 100sb one. Off to the gym and then a meeting later this morning though, so hopefully the afternoon/evening is as good survey wise.

Also wish the ads weren't so often in the apps, it's almost every other video. At least I got offered bonus rounds yesterday.

My first goal is 120 on a saturday. I don't understand swagbucks anymore.

I did really well yesterday, and my goal for today (Saturday) is 90/120. Yesterday it was 90/110.

Discover/Peanut Labs...play the game called Sheep vs. Aliens and reach level 3 to get 17 SB instantly.

How do you find this game once you get to Peanut Labs?

I doubt I could find it again, since it's probably not in my list anymore. But you go below the surveys to where the offers are. I might not have sorted by anything, so I was just browsing the offers. The picture said Sheep vs Aliens and was worth 17 SB. Once you get to their website, you select the Sheep vs Aliens game (there are others, if I recall correctly). Scroll down, past a download link, which is not for the game, and you'll see a play button. I got through the first 2 levels ok without knowing what I was doing, but the 3rd level was a little harder. Moving the mouse pointer up & down aims the cannon, which is all I did in the first 2 levels. Moving the pointer left/right affects the velocity, which you need beginning in level 3.

Did anyone else do the survey in December agreeing ot have unlabeled soda cans sent to you, you drink them then answer questions related to the samples? They were to send me an email to go online and answer these questions for 800 swagbucks, but I have yet to receive the email.

Wow, that is high for a weekend! For me, that would be high anytime. Mine is only 60 today, so it is not high for everyone. Wonder why yours is so high? (I usually earn on average about 150 SB per day).

My goal is 120 today as well. When I woke up and saw it, I said to my husband that it seemed really high for the weekend. Now I know why.

Pure speculation, but there may fewer surveys on the weekend because the companies paying for them don't want them run on the weekend. My company uses panel data a lot and we request the survey vendor pull the surveys over the weekend since we don't want to spend our weekends monitoring quotas. In other words, this may be out of SB's control.

my goal is only 70 today odd how some others are so high

That totally makes sense. But that also is a good reason to have lower sb goals. Oh well, I've met my first goal so it's ok for today

It's based off how many you get. I had a couple of days this week where I was over 400 for each day. I think the lowest I've seen lately is a weekend at 75. My 2nd goal has been anywhere between 240 and 340 the past week or so depending on if I hit the 2nd goal for the day or not.

It hasn't showed up in your survey que? it will usually say 5 min for 800 in your survey que.
I didn't do soda, but have done cereal,sunscreen,and a keurig. Swagbuck seem to be ultra slow to pay up those 800 pt. one tester actually sent me a choice of gift card but the 800 have not credit. I am not one to quibble with sending in service tickets. But as for my current experience that 800 hasn't come through

So I was doing these 1 SB offers...the kind where you click through the slides, one at a time, and they take forever to load, it seems. Then I noticed that my SB balance had jumped, considerably. Checked My SB, and I got a 153 SB credit for "Special Offer: PL: Take the short survey for a chance to win 100." I *think* that was the Game Stop gift card offer (Discover/Peanut Labs). It was one of those where you have to click continue or skip or no to a lot of the questions, and it doesn't look like it's going to work. I'm pretty sure I quit before the end and figured it wasn't going to credit me whether I "finished" or not. I couldn't say who this offer was through, but it wasn't Lifescript or Quality Health.

edit--I might have clicked on one of the offers, if it was one of those that have "silver page offers" "gold page" "platinum page" etc....but didn't enter any info.

I qualified for a survey a few weeks ago where they sent you 3 samples of soup packets (add water and boil and it created 2 servings of soup) I was told I would get a follow up survey and it hasn't come yet. I am wondering if it won't and I should just be happy for my free soup? Did anyone else do this and did you get the follow up survey yet?

 

[ameliabedelia]

I'm doing one right now, a 40 SB offer for the $150 Walgreen gift card. Skipping/continuing through offer pages, but I did click on one of the Platinum page offers, then closed that page. We'll see how this goes.

I think sometimes the survey goes to your swagbucks inbox. I know on one I got a week or two ago it said if I was chosen and received the product to test I could expect the follow up survey in my sb inbox. Though I also had one that asked if they could send another one or two survey's if they wanted additional information but didn't ask for any contact info, so I'm not sure if I'll ever see more on that one.

Thank you SBTV bonus rounds! 186 total for today. Finally starting the other apps to see what I can get before bed.

Good to know. I didn't think of this. Thank you!

Very nice! I haven't seen SBTV bonuses since the new year started.

I hadn't either and the ones I had gotten on the other apps weren't worth doing. It's just started the bonus rounds today, so we'll see how long it goes. I actually went back to the bonus rounds yesterday when I realized the 10 videos was still less than the other apps and after that one round it went back to being 7 or 8 videos per 2sb. It's also the first time I haven't been limited to the number or that it was actually worth while after the first one or two rounds.
