Those using swagbucks ???

[Narnia_girl]

For those who buy gift cards: after you purchase them with SB do you let them sit in "My Gift Cards" until you use several at once? I am wondering how safe it is to stockpile them there given the statement above that some accounts are unexpectedly deleted. I'd like to stockpile these cards for a least a year (Dec. 2016 trip). Is it better to print a hard copy (is that even do-able?)

I use the Target app, you can upload GCs into one big GC or just keep the little ones separate. That makes it easier to purchase online or in the store and I don't have to be concerned with losing them from SB. Also, if you use the Target app, you can just bring the GC up on the phone and they scan that. You cannot print copies of the GC from SB, they must be mobile.

I always print the gift card or credit it to my account with the merchant (like for amazon) immediatly. I worry something could happen to my swagbucks account.

Does anyone else ever complete offers through swagbucks, but then not have the SB credited to your account? I've done insurance quote offers, print coupon offers, and signing up for various services offers. On all accounts I am never awarded the SB that are promised. For me, the only time they are credited is when I watch videos, or when I complete the daily poll. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

 

[kt_mom]

I think some of the offers don't credit immediately. But I've had several I've done and never given credit for. Quite annoying when you go through one of those long questionares thinking you will get 25 points at the end only to get nothing...

 

[Iowajes]

I've had a few not credit. Sometimes you can email swagbucks and they will add it to your account. Sometimes you just never get it.

There are a ton of offers that won't credit or will only credit some people. Most of the free higher ones don't credit often. Also it tracks your IP so if you have done it before it knows for some. Also you need to use different emails for offers. If a company sees you signing up over and over with the same email it won't credit. And clearning cookies helps as well. There is really a system to getting things to credit. A few years ago it was easier to get things to credit...it seems like they are stricter or making it harder now.

I have been getting WalMart gift cards since I can use them at Sams for discounted Disney cards.
I do have a Target debit card but I only use it occasionally online to buy gift cards. The nearest Target is 100 miles away from me. I guess I could download the app though...

That's what I'm afraid of too. I guess I need to investigate how I can secure these cards...

You can load target cards online into your account. You don't have to use them right away. I always save a PDF of the card on my computer.

What is an average daily amount for SB?

I signed up about three days ago and have 450 points...
Good?
Average?
Below Average?

 

[klo1335]

I average about 150-200 per day. Depends on how busy I am at work A few times I've hit a bit survey and have gotten 250 points for one survey.

450 for 3 days is a great amount, IMO.

I've been doing SB for about a year and my daily goal is still around 75 most days. I mostly make that by running the mobile aps, doing encrave thingys, the Jun videos (they have a pic of a guy and say take a Discovery break or something like that). I don't usually qualify for the surveys unless I lie about my qualifications, which I don't like to do. I've learned a lot over the year about ways to add points - do you know that if you make your daily goal for several days in a row there are additional bonuses? (Click on show my winning streaks to see). Also, you can use their search function and occasionally win points for that (like once or twice a day).

I try to check the facebook page and then do searches related to what's been posted on facebook. Not everything will get swagbucks but it often does. I got 7 today for searching Taxact.

I think that is pretty good for three days. I try very hard to meet my daily goal and in Feb. did it everyday which resulted in a nice bonus. (Yesterday my goal was 75 but I did two surveys and ended with 165 for the day.) Read the tips at the beginning of this thread for some great ideas on earning more.

 

[Iowajes]

I shoot for 75-100 swag bucks a day.

My daily goal has been as high as 150. I laugh at that and stop trying for a streak. I don't have time for 150!

So how is everyone making out lately? I've had a lot of problems with certain ads freezing up and then I have to close the app and restart. And this morning, my daily goal was 108. That's not impossible but the second goal is 170, which I'm not going to try to reach. I'll be happy to hit 108 with all of the restarting I have to do.

Mine was 108 today too...It's high compared to what it has been for the last 2 weeks. I haven't had app issues today....yet...knock on wood.

Yes - you can print them once they have been credited to your account. That is how I do them. But its up to you.

I try to meet the first goal daily (currently, I flux between 30-40 daily points) and just run sbtv and the daily ones - poll, noso, daily crave, swag button - and i end up doing just fine - i have started running the sbtv mobile app (that you can earn up to 36 points a day on while im asleep - sometimes i have to restart it but not often. It is 8:30 here, and Im almost already at my first daily goal - had a 10 pt search win early this am.

Make sure that you have the swagbutton installed on your toolbar -- it will notify you when there is a free swagcode and where to find it

There are actually 4 apps. I also have deleted the swagbar because it has always caused issues with each computer I have had it on. So be careful of that.

I use the website, not an app- but it's been going pretty well lately. JunGroup and nGage have been running forever, which makes getting to 100 a lot easier. Sometimes they limit them to 3-5 each, and then you pretty much HAVE to hit a survey.
