Those using swagbucks ???

AFIAK There is no expiration date. In order to be used in stores you have to download the Target app and add it to your gift cards there. Usually the cards come between the 5-7 day mark.

Well, dang! I wish I could figure out how y'all are hitting the higher numbers! I spent all day yesterday (it seemed) running videos, doing searches, getting codes and all I ended up with for the entire day & evening was 124!

How on earth would I ever hit 400 to 500 in a day???!!!

I used to get less than 100 everyday, so I quit for awhile. After I saw this thread I can get a couple of hundred points a day. But I am no expert.

I try to do a couple of surveys a day. I look for ones that are quick and worth the most points. I run SBTV mobile as much as I can. It seems to be working well for me today.

I also watch their Facebook page to see what other people are doing and getting credit for. I down load any app that gets me points or sign up for everything that can earn points. I don't like providing a lot of information, but try to sign up for the things that only ask for email address.

I don't do a lot of the encrave videos because they don't always seem to work for me.

I don't spend too much time with SB. I noticed that SB Mobile has only been allowing me to earn 40 a day. Oh well. I average about 100 total a day. I am happy to be able to cash out $25 in PayPal a month. It takes very little effort. I try to stay away from the surveys only because I do surveys with other sites that pay better, IMO. But for those making 400-500 SB a day....wow! That is awesome

When you redeem how long does it usually take to redeem? I have enough for a target redemption and I was wondering just how this works exactly.
I have read the redemption part and it says up to 10 days to credit.
I take this that at anytime in 10 days I will get an email with the bar code for my redemption. But I'm wondering if
1 it has an expiration date?
2 if I forward the email to DH while he's in the store is he able to use it or is it solely to be used by me.
3 does the credit actually come faster than 10 days?

Thank you for helping on this.

1) I have only cashed out Amazon and Southwest on SB. Neither expire. I do not believe any gift cards expire (that I know of).
2) Couldn't tell you this.
3) Normally, yes. Average, for me, it takes about 3-5 business days. I have had one or two take the whole 10 business days.

You are all wonderful thank you for all your advise answers and input!!

I aim for 160 a day. I have gotten 400-500 a day doing surveys and special offers. I get a lot each day from activities (now encrave) I dont bother with the swagbucks search. I do bing everyday though and can cash out for swagbucks.

I do a lot of the Discover >> Special Offers. They're usually 30 points or more and I set them up to go to a junk email address.

Thank you to everyone for the advice! I just can't seem to get into the swing of things with SB!! I was exhausted yesterday -- and that was only for 124 points!! Today I've been tied up with other matters and have only gotten 3 points so far!!

I have already received the 5 amazon GC I cashed out for on March 1,2, & 3.

Thanks to everyone posting SB ideas on this thread. I had given up on SB as I was only doing the poll, noso's, searches and a few offers for $5-10 a month.

For the last 2 weeks I have been using the advice about SB mobile tv, entertainow (when it works), the encrave videos and making my daily goals. I already have enough for a $25 gift card.

Do the apps work on the Samsung Galaxy tablets? I bought one and when I try to download them, it says it's not compatable???

Seems to me you answered your own question.

My bad. There are different models of these (Samsung and Nexus) tablets. Let me rephrase my question- has anyone successfully downloaded these apps to an android tablet, and if so, what is the model? TIA!

 

[RitaE]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and the mobile Swagbucks TV runs on it but not the main Swagbucks App.

I have a Nexus 7 but sorry, one of my kids took it and I don't have it here right now to check. I don't think I've ever tried to install the Swagbucks Apps on there.

My Kindle Fire also just runs the TV mobile app.

My android phone runs the main swag bucks app + the tv App.

I've never tried to put the search app on any of them so I don't know about that one.

You can buy Southwest (and several other types) of gift cards thru Amazon. If you cash SBs out for $5 amazon gift cards for 450sbs, you can end up with a $50 gift card for $45.

Have you actually succeeded in using an Amazon GiftCard balance to purchase another giftcard? I have tried to do both a Starbucks & another Amazon and was unable to use a GiftCard balance to do so.

Same here. Never have been able to do it.

You can cash out paypal and buy disney gift cards with your red card.

A friend tried to purchase a gift card on Amazon using Amazon gift cards and was told that you cannot do that.

That has been my plan, but now that I am almost ready to try it, I'm totally confused (of course!! )

I recently opened a Paypal account and it is "verified" - I have linked both a checking account and credit card to it, but have never actually used it (no transactions yet).

If I cash out ($25 Paypal reward), how do I actually get to that money to pay my red card bill when it arrives?

I hope that all makes sense! TIA!

You can transfer your paypal money into your checking account, usually takes 3-5 days. Then pay your card via your checking.
