Those using swagbucks ???

[kidsfirsttrip]

Have any of you that ordered the Trackr on here actually received it yet? I checked again today and it still shows "in process".

No me neither. I kinda just want to cancel it.

I've got the Disney Parks in my inbox too, but nothing happens when I click it. Just brings me to a blank Peanut Labs page. I even tried from the homepage when I saw it under Most Popular ways to Earn, but got the same result. Oh well, maybe it reached a limit or something.

I found a site that helps you get Swag Codes. Some of you may already use it, but since it's new to me, I figured I'd post it. http://sbcodez.com/
And this morning they posted some good news:
SwagBucks has announced Wednesday September 14, will be a Swag Code Extravaganza! There will be 6 Swag Codes released! We do not know the exact times or the amount of the codes but, you can earn a total of 30 SB.

The USA and Canada Extravaganzas start at at 7am PDT/10am EDT to 6pm PDT/9pm EDT!

The UK Extravaganza starts at at 8am BST to 8pm BST!

It's not huge, but it can help. And these count for an extra 5 pts in the Midway Challenge each time you get one.

I've used this site for years. I have it set up so I get texted every time they post a code. I think it's through twitter?? (I don't use twitter, but I think I set it up this years ago.) Anyway, it's nice to never miss a code!

I just had 2 VERY weird survey experiences, both from my inbox. The first one was supposed to be 5 min, so I clicked on it. The loading circle went around about 3 times, and then I got the "Im sorry you dont meet our criteria" message - and one SB. Hoping that would happen again (ha ha!), I clicked on another survey that takes 20 min, and it asked for info. Then it asked if my 3 year old was with me and would answer some questions. Um no. I clicked that he would be around later. Then it said to come back later!!!

I have had these. Usually a survey for a toy or seeing what characters they like.

I was getting a transfer error, but kept refreshing it and it finally loaded. Put me over my second goal! Love it!

Thanks for the heads up on the Disney parks "survey"!!!! It finally showed up in my inbox today!

Easy 35 SB. Had message in my inbox, "The fastest, easiest way to plan travel" from Hipmunk. Plugged in some travel dates and searched, awarded instantly. I had tried an offer from them when I first signed up for SB and it never credited. Happy I tried it again.

I'm brand new to swagbucks (well, I've been doing it for a few weeks now) and I have some questions about cashing out for gift cards.

1) I know I want some $ on a Starbucks card. I don't currently have a reloadable Starbucks card-do I just buy a card at Walmart, get the transfer code and reload onto that? What if I buy a $5 reloadable, but want to put say, $20 on it? Is that a problem? Or, if I want to transfer $20, then do I have to buy a $20 card?

2) I'd like to put some into PayPal and then transfer into my bank account. Is that doable?

3)Approximately how long should I allow for both? The Starbucks card is for our Nov trip, so I have plenty of time, but I just want to make sure I don't miss any cutoff so, etc.

Thanks! I'm open to suggestions, anything I didn't mention, etc.

Thank you! I wouldn't have tried again if you hadn't posted this. And today I need points!

I can't answer all of your questions, but when in doubt, it's always best to keep things as simple as possible. Whenever you are dealing with gift cards, you are dealing with some amount of risk.
1-You can get a Starbucks card directly from SB Rewards. I haven't checked if Wal-Mart/Sam's have Starbucks cards, but I guess from your comment they do. Only they can tell you how to proceed with loadable cards, and what works in one store may not in another. You might want to talk to a barista to see if they combine Starbucks cards at your store.
2-STAY AWAY FROM PAYPAL GIFT CARDS. It may not make sense, but they are notorious for causing trouble. There are numerous reports about people who did just what you asked, and got their paypal accounts shut down. For the few dollars you might be able to get in this process, the risk is way too high, in my opinion.
3- All of the cards say to allow 10 days. I have never had to wait more than 2.

Hi again everyone!

I started doing SB back in July of 2015. Between that and Perk, I earned a good chunk of change twd our (now passed) BC stay! yay!
While Perk is still earning about what it always has for me, I've noticed a steady decline in ease and ability to earn SB's. After only 11 days "off" (while in WDW) I come home to even more disappointment: Radio Loyalty is GONE! and the auto nCraves for 4sb that used to take 14-15 mins to complete (I set a timer) now are taking 16+ mins to complete! I also have more difficulty than ever finding offers that actually credit. I don't do surveys bc it seems I don't fit the demographics they are looking for and I'm tired of wasting my time for 0sb's.
Soooo.... in light of all of the above, has anyone discovered any new "gems" in SBs that I may be missing??
Here is what I currently do:

the 6 out of 7 daily to-do list thingy
Swag Jump (for max of 10sb)
Coupon printing (wch while I was away was lowered from 16sb to 14sb ....grrrr!)
Run all of the apps til I reach the limit then run for the bonuses
Run the Watch videos (I do the ones for 3sbs, jumping from category to category)
Run nCraves
I look on swagbucks reddit for suggestions of offers to try (in AdGate, Peanut Labs, etc) but they are getting fewer and fewer. For ex. the LifeScript ones only credit like once a month for me.

My personal goal is only 250sb's/day but that is getting more and more difficult to achieve! Is there anything, new or old, that I'm missing?

 

[jenseib]

It's interesting that my daily goal and second goal are lower today. Usually on Tuesdays they are higher because of their Twitter Tuesday thing they do. Maybe all the extra stuff they're doing this week is the start of more sb's due to the end of the quarter this month. Now if I could just get ttg back in the mornings I'd be all set.

yep me too but today it is sky high

Use the Swagbucks phone app. I apply all gift card codes to that.
Yes paypal is totally doable. I have done it a few times but it usually takes quite a while to transfer into the paypal and then over to your bank account.
With gift cards it can take up to 2 weeks. I have some credit on the same day (rare) and some that have taken the full 2 weeks. I find walmart and target typically come through fast and Amazon and paypal very slow. I have never done starbucks through swag so not sure how long that takes.

Where did you hear this? I have done paypal through many different offer places for about 8 years and never had an issue. Paypal isn't a gift card it is just credited to your paypal account.

Thanks for posting! I got a notification of a code on the homepage, and couldn't seem to sort out how to find it despite clicking the notification. So, thank you for saving the day!

I think there is confusion between this and the PayPal gift cards sold at places like Walgreens that have an activation fee. I have no concerns about cashing out of sb for PayPal and have been doing so for 15 months with no issues.

Starbucks lets you combine cards on their website and their app so yes this will work and I've do it with their gcs all the time.

Yes you can redeem for PayPal cash and transfer to your bank acct. Do it all the time.

It can take up to 10 bus days or as little as one. There's no rhyme or reason to it.
