Those using swagbucks ???

I have given up on PL. I almost never get credited and they do not respond to my contacts. It's very frustrating.

I'm done with PL too. I'm not doing anymore of their surveys or special offers. I can get by with running the mobile apps, gold and partner surveys and home page offers.

what mobile apps and what is perk tv?

Have they changed the max on any of the apps? I used to get 91 per day but today was 85. I never seems to get 91 anymore. I am iOS so I run SBTV, entertainow, sportly, & lifestyle.

Yes, Sportly was lowered from 18 SB to 10 SB last week.

I've only been doing Swagbucks for a few weeks, and I have a couple questions for any Swagbucks veterans.

Could someone explain how the daily bonuses work? I've tried searching around on the site for a detailed explanation, but didn't have any luck. When do you get the bonus points? I haven't seen any of them show up on the days when I earn the bonus.

Also, I almost have enough points to trade in for my first $25 e-gift card. How does an e-gift card work in a physical store or at a gas station? Do you just print it out, and it gets scanned at the register like any other gift card? Or is there something I should know before ordering one and using it at a physical store?

Thanks for your help!

For the bonus, you're credited within the first few days of the next month. If you hit the goals, you get the bonus points. You have the month to earn them and to get the running bonus, you need to hit the first goal for each day, and get 7, 14, 21 days or the entire month. Hope this helps!

The daily bonuses are usually paid out on the 4th or 5th of the following month. You also receive your bonus for any monthly streak that you accomplished (7 day, 14 day, 21 day, or entire month).

As far as the egift cards - the only one I've ever gotten is the Walmart and just like you said, I print it out and take it to the store and they just scan it. If there is money left on the gift card, I just keep my printed page and use it again the next time. I've had a couple of cashiers that didn't seem to know how to do it, but they figured it out. If your store has a self checkout, they work great there. If I'm not price matching, I try to go to the self checkouts if I'm using a printed gift card - it's just easier!

Thank you so much! This is just what I wanted to find out. I appreciate the help!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for posting on this thread. A few weeks ago I was here and saw the swagbuck thread and I remembered that I had an account that i hadn't used in a few years. I logged in and I had a few points in my account so I redeemed them for contest entries and lo and behold I won a 250.00 Virtual visa, which I just redeemed for a 250.00 disney gift card for my upcoming trip!! If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have even remembered the account! Thats why I love the Disboards!

I have done such a bad job this month I hardly qualified for any survey and have been bad about running my mobile apps. Need to get back on the game in May. I don't think I qualified for any bonuses this month. sigh

Hey all, now that the month has rolled around I can get me another 2200 point $25 gc. Before I grab one, does anyone know if the Target 5% with the Red Card still works either online or in store? I remember reading some people said it had stopped and some said it was still working. Anyone done it recently?

Thanks!

 

[finny1981]

Online with gift cards is getting 5% off as long as you have a Red Card attached I just did it yesterday.

Thanks for your response! I'll go ahead with my Target order then. I think that's a slightly better rate than the ones at Sam's Club.

So I see a lot of people posting here how they use swagbucks rewards to pay for large portions of their disney trips. How the heckfire do you manage this? I thought oh "free" money lol and signed up, but I just don't see getting much. Maybe I'm just not diligent enough. It seems like you'd make about .25-.50/hour

So to those of you who use swagbucks. How much time do you spend per day on it? About how much do you get per month?

Here is what I do:

1. Set it as my default search engine both at work and at home.
2. Use the special offers that give you swagbucks back, these are usually far better returns than most cash back sites. The exception now is bigmarketshares, their new system may give you better cashback than swagbucks.
3. Install the toolbar, it will notify you if you are on a site that is elligble for rebates.

OK so I have enough swag bucks for my first $25 e-gift card. What I'd like to do is get a Target e-card, get a second $25 one in a few weeks, and then go to a Target store to get a $50 Disney gift card. I haven't read this whole long thread but I'm slowly working my way through it. A PP on an earlier page said that it wasn't possible to print out the e-card, that it has to be entered into the Target phone app. Is that right?? I was just reading reviews on the Target app for iPhones, and the reviews are terrible, so I'm not excited to go down that path.

I'm not usually a Target shopper, don't have a red card, and haven't used e-gift cards before, so I'm just trying to get started the easiest way.

I also read that people get WalMart cards and then order Disney cards from the Sam's Club website. Unfortunately I'm not a Sam's Club member either.

So can I or can I not print out the Target e-cards and use them in a Target store to get a Disney card?

By the way, this thread is awesome! I'm so grateful for all the great tips I'm finding here from so many helpful people! Thanks everyone!

You can print out the Target e-card for use in the store. It will have a code on it that can be scanned as well as the gift card number and PIN code which can be entered online or into the app.

I earned two $25 Target eGift cards from Swagbucks. I was able to go on Target's website and order a $50 Disney gift card using the target gift card numbers. The Disney gift card was mailed to me at home via regular mail with free shipping. (took 5 business days) I just preferred this way of getting my card over trying to print out the e-cards and worrying that the cashier at Target would give me the whole "you can't use a gift card to buy another gift card" speech.

OK, perfect! Now I'm good to go, with no more doubts. Thanks, Marionnette!
