Those using swagbucks ???

I saw some chatter awhile back about a survey that asks for a photo of your child, I kept pressing on a little bit with it because I was grossly intrigued & I knew I could x out at any time. Well it turns out they just wanted to verify that your child was actually taking the survey with you & they only wanted a photo of the back of their head with your computer screen, so if you do come across that one again, it pays out fairly well. 250SB right away & 400SB in 30 days.

I cannot remember which survey it was, but awhile back I must have agreed to let them email me a second part to it, and they did, in fact, email me a code for a $20 amazon gift card! That was pretty nifty especially since I had forgotten about it!

I just did a similar one now. Took almost an hour, did it with my son. Got to the last screen where it says to submit, then back on the SB screen I got a disqualified message. So I quickly tried to go back and caught a screen shot of the thank you, please submit message, and one of the screen showing me disqualified. Is this what they are talking about when asking for screenshot? It goes by so quickly. Grrr. I'm annoyed. I did send in a ticket though it wasn't supposed to credit for 30 days anyway so i'm not sure it'll even get looked into yet...

Question for a couple new referrals of mine. They live in the same house, and each set up their own SB account. They each have their own laptop they are using for SB. But if they were to borrow someone else's laptop in the house, could each of them use it for an extra device at different times, as long as they have logged into SB with their individual user names? Or is it a red flag to SB if there are 2 different accounts using a common device?

I would not risk it. I am on the desktop and DH is on our laptop. Once in a blue moon I will log him out to do something quick in mine if DD is on the desktop but other than that we keep it separate. I have read of many ppl getting in trouble with SB for using multiple devices and/or 2 users using the same device - even if one is logged out. I think it is one of those random check things - one day you are good, next day they have a problem with it.

So can you be on an app and the website at the same time?

Yes, I usually have the app running on my phone while I'm running Watch, NGage, NCrave, and whatever else will run on the laptop.

I run the apps on my ipad while on my laptop running ncraves, LTG, TTG, etc.

Had 1735 in S&E hit today, which is nice for making goal today, but is going to hurt some next week. Although, these 6 and 8 SB nCraves are sure making it easier, and the apps had been running smoother lately (until this morning, of course, lol).

I got a lovely reminder that Big Brother is always watching!! I usually have my location turned off on my phone, but turned it on yesterday to use the GPS. Well I went to Kohls today and about 30 minutes after I got home, I got a "how was your shopping experience" survey from the SB app. It was super quick and I got 75SB out of it. But still is was a tiny bit creepy.

I get those sometimes after I shop at Kohls and I'm always glad for them. Usually means I'll get my daily goal. I check in (earn $$) all over town using Mplus Places and Shopkick so I'm not too worried about location services. I look at it this way, if I'm ever kidnapped, Swagbucks will find me.

I got a 25sb one for target while I was still in the store shopping. I get them from Google rewards all the time. Can only use that money earned in the play store so I use it for apps and in game stuff.

I am glad I earned both goals. It says Swagbucks.com is down for Maintenance

I'm a little over halfway to my first goal. Hope it comes back on soon because I'm going to be real mad if I lose my bonus with three days left in the month...

 

[havaneselover]

Yeah, slow day for me today because I didn't qualify for any surveys. Still not at 300, apps are not working now, and ncraves are giving my computer issues.

Same here, except I am not quite half way yet.

 

[havaneselover]

I'm about to give up for the day. The nCraves aren't running, the apps aren't running and it's not worth the frustration.

 

[pigletto]

Down for me too. I just started on Friday and this thread is very helpful, thank you.
I don't have anything when I click on ncraves. I am assuming those will come later?
I managed to earn 1416 SB since Friday, but I am sure it's going to slow right down now that I've done most of the free big things. Now it will just be a matter of plugging away at the goals to make sure I get the bonuses and running the apps and "watching" some things. I don't seem to qualify for most surveys so far, but I've done a couple.
It will take me some time to learn the ropes. We have a big trip to the Rockies I am planning for summer 2017. I hope to earn at least the equivalent of one of the plane tickets I need ($700). I'll likely use it for Amazon and other gift cards at Christmas and then use the Christmas funds I save for the trip. We don't have Disney or Target gift cards as rewards in Canada, or those would be what I would cash out for.

OK, thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it!

Finally got our internet working again after a trip to Comcast for a new modem and now SB is down. At least I met my first goal but I was looking forward to reaching my 2nd goal all 4 days this weekend. I'm at 110 and need to get to 350, still have apps to finish. Not the end of the world but disappointing when I generally only make my 2nd goals on the weekends. I would hope this is bad timing for them and not planned. Even my local library can manage to let people know when their site will be down for maintenance and far fewer people use that on a regular basis.
