Those using swagbucks ???

[afan]

I've been starting mine before I go to bed too but my apps keep getting hung up on different ads. Is anyone else having that happen? So, I wake up after it's been running for about 4 hours, and I only have two rounds completed and it's hung up in the 3rd round. It's pretty much the same every night.

It seems to go through cycles, I had one that would come up as a giant black and white circle with an x in it and the only way to get past it was to wait for the little red x in the corner and tap it. Fortunately for me that one is gone and knock on wood, I don't have any that are causing an issue at the moment. Well there is one I think for embassy suites that has gotten me a couple of times but I've only seen it once on a day a couple of times, so it's not a constant. Mine will stop while I'm asleep, no idea why. And other times I'll wake up and have over 30. I will restart if I wake up and it's not time to get up again, but I can roll over and go right back to sleep so it's not an issue like it could be for some with the light etc.

My latest nemesis ad is the Hershey one. It was a different one last week though.

I've been getting ads on mobile that require skipping, but if i don't skip it, it just hangs on that screen.

My goal is just meeting my first goal which is between 90 and 120. I have no desire to meet the second goal. The first goal is usually on the higher end during the week, and it's hard to get since I work Monday-Friday. Without doing a survey, I can't meet the first goal now that I can get only 60 points (instead of 86) from the apps. So how do you get so many points without doing a survey??? I do the daily crave, daily poll, and NOSO. I also do some playlists, but they take a while to get a noticeable amount of points. LTG and TTG are great when they are there, but TTG usually disappears after one run, and LTG requires quite a bit of time to get a noticeable amount of points. What am I doing wrong? I seriously just want to get the first goal, so I need an additional 60 when the goal is 120. Any ideas?

Autorun nCraves and bonus rounds on apps. Really, I don't even do the daily stuff unless I am desperate. 2-4 times an hour, I start a new nCrave. I do the 3SB life one if it is available, and the 4SB performance one if it isn't. I really don't like to put much effort into it, so I don't I still haven't had a month below $75, although January took more effort than usual.

Where are the life and performance nCraves? When I click on nCraves on the left side, I get the message that there are no nCraves available. Also how do you autoplay them? Can you autoplay the NGages as well?

well there goes my monthly bonus. Didn't have time to run the site today and i spent the last hour doing surveys and fulfilling peanut lab things and not one credited -_-
Beyond frustrated and have to be up early in the morning.

I had the same issue on Saturday! I was operating on about 2-3 hrs sleep all day, sue to my busy schedule and when I finally got to sit down to Swagbucks, I spent literally an hour on the site to not even get 1SB credit for disqualified surveys. My Ncraves were gone, too! I think I only got about 45 SB for the entire day. Sunday is back to normal, though. Just wanted to see others felt my pain, and I wasn't alone.

What are all the apps? I only know of three.

i ended up staying up late and getting the points, but i'm paying for it today. I need a nap already

My monthly bonus was blown on Day #2. Life sometimes gets in the way. I'll be satisfied to get the 21-day streak this month.

 

[Iowajes]

I try to hit my bonus any day I do swagbucks, but I don't sweat it if I can't. The monthly bonus is only a dollar more than the 21 days... I was sick four days this month and didn't do any swagbucks at all, so obviously I'm not getting it this month. I won't get the 21 day either. Maybe I can get two 7 days if I stay healthy.

 

[DisneyMandC]

I've had TTG a lot today. I will usually only get 2 rounds from her at a time, but she'll reappear 5-10 minutes later.

 

[westcoastfldisneygirl]

New SB code. LuckySB for 2 SB until 3 pm EST.

The last one on the top row is the performance one I run, the Life one is the 1st on the 2nd row. That circled arrow in the lower left part of the picture is what tells you it is an autorun. You used to have to hit the discovery mode check box, but the last few days they've run completely on their own once opened. You did have to run a regular one before you could get an autorun to show up, I'm not sure if that is still true. If you don't have nCraves, you should try a different browser and/or an incognito window to see if they show up.

What are all the apps? I only know of three.

SBTV, Lifestylz.tv, IndyMusic.tv, EntertaiNow, Movieclips and Sportly.tv are the 6 apps

Another gift-card earning opportunity, that is loosely tied to Swagbucks is Dailybreak. I'm just learning about it as I go but so far I like it.
I first started Dailybreak because Swagbucks had opportunities to do simple tasks through them and earn SB (pick your favorite scent of Glade products, or plan a Super Bowl party with Tyson.)
I noticed that every time I visited there I got a spin for points, but the more consecutive days I visited, the more spins I got--up to 7. So I try to visit every day.
While there I run through some of their fun lists, or take an easy quiz. Yesterday I read through a list called "17 Thoughts You Had When Planning a Disney Vacation". It's just silly stuff, usually with an image, to read through. Then you get points when you get to the bottom of the story, and sometimes they ask for a response "have you planned a Disney trip" which gives you a few more points. The stories are usually 10 points, sponsored activities are 30-50.

Even though I had no Swagbucks incentive to keep visited Dailybreak, I have made it part of my daily earning activities.

So that brings up the earnings part--what good are these points to me? And for a while I wasn't entirely sure they had any value. I even posted on here last month and asked if anyone knew what the points were good for. All I could see were sweepstakes offers and three magazines to spend my points on.
But I kept plugging away at earning points, moving up the levels. And now I can see the benefit: after you have enough you can buy gift cards with your points.
Their store prizes include:
14,000 points for a $5 WalMart or Amazon card
25,000 points for $20 Amazon, Fandango, Sephora, Dick's Sporting Goods, ITunes or Burlington gift card
xxxxxxx points for $50 Ebay, Whole Foods, Amazon, TGI Fridays, Dominoes or WalMart gift card (not sure of amount since those offers are not opened to me yet).

You can redeem two prizes per month. I don't anticipate this being a huge earner for me, but it is easy, fun and the points are guaranteed. I also expect Swagbucks will continue to occasionally offer activities which will earn points on both sites.
Hope this helps someone who's looking for another earnings opportunity.

I checked out InstaGC in addition to SB but the InstaGC site is a bit clunky and hard to understand for me. I like their payout structure a LOT but have only gotten $2 so far lol.

Still waiting on my walmart.com and groupon swagbucks to credit. Not sure how long that takes but I've got about 185 SB coming to me.....hope they credit.

If you look in your shop and earn you'll see how many days until it credits.

Does anyone know who won the Lucky Charms challenge, and how we go about claiming our Swagbucks prize?

Ok, so I opened Swagbucks on Firefox and found the Performance and the Life NCraves. I ran the Performance one a couple of times, but it kept locking up my computer. I have a Macbook. I don't know if that makes a difference. I spent more time trying to get my computer unlocked than I do on a survey that gives me 75 SB. I hate doing surveys though. I wish I could get this to work.

I forget who won, but the prizes are SwagUps, which means you will get the amount when you redeem for a gift card. If you look under your profile (far right drop down menu) there is an item called 'my swagups' - mine says 10 for Luck of the Irish and it expires 4/18. (Or did you mean a different challenge? There were a couple of things going on)

On another note, the stupid Candy Crush Jelly Queen ad suddenly started turning up the volume on the apps on my Ipad today. She's been quiet up to this point, now I can't keep her silent!
