Those using swagbucks ???

[JOCAmom]

This week had to be one of my worse swagbucks weeks. Apps were horrible and constantly telling me that it couldn't reach the server and to check my internet connection. Barely any ecraves and the ones I had either froze my computer or were only 2 SBs. I never hit second goal all week. I have a couple of autorun encraves now so I'm still swagging away. I hope next week is better.

This is immensely HELPFUL! Thank You soo much! Sped up my trip around the learning curve!

I did much better today. I got the app on the Ipad so I did the 36 SB limit on the TV. Was easy! Just carried it around while I brushed my teeth, made the bed, filled my vitamin dispenser, fed the cats, etc. I didn't know about the next 3 things you mentioned. Assuming they are on the app as well? I will look for them. Today I also got the baking magazine offer for $1 shipping and handling. Awarded 600 SB. I have to remember to cancel after I get the first shipment but still worth it. Oh and surprise! My mom needs to add airtime to her Tracfone so I was looking into that for her and bc I use the SB search engine, it told me I will get swagbucks for that purchase! So doing that tomorrow since I met my goal for today. Mom also wants to order something from Lowes... doing that Sunday to get me to my goal on that day! The more I learn about this, the easier it's getting. Many thanks to all here for the encouragement and tips. I DO need to read through the thread some more.

I am at 1405 SB at the end of 2 days!!!

Is it my imagination or do the games (swagasaurus and jump game) award SB better in the mornings? This morning I got 6 SB fast but this evening I've been playing both for about 15 mins and no SB! Weird. I even tried logging out then back in.

Not sure I get the part about Bing. I will look into that further.

So psyched about FREE money for WDW! Our next visit is not until Sept 2016 so I have a lot of time to earn a significant amount on SB!!

It takes 30 days for shop & earn swagbucks to credit. They want to make sure you keep the item(s) you purchased.

Ok Thanks was just going to come here and ask that. Returned from picking up something from home depot that I'd ordered through the SB shopping link. .... only $30 but didn't see the 30 SB posted when I got home. That makes sense that they want to make sure you don't return it. I'm def not returning this.... going to go out and start weatherproofing my deck with my purchase. LOL

Glad to hear it is not just me. I am having so many problems with the apps this week. Didn't even make first bonus yesterday

This may have been posted somewhere else, but if you have an Ipad I'm having better luck with the apps on that than my Iphone. The swagbucks app ran fine on my iphone but the other ones constantly froze. Once I switched to my ipad I have only had a few issues.

Glad to help, as I've been helped so much here. Sounds like you are on the right track.

I think a lot of people have their search engine defaulted to Google. I always did. Then I heard about Bing rewards (on DIS). Bing rewards you for searches. You can earn 15 points per day doing searches on your PC and 10 points per day on your mobile. They also have random point activities each day--those take about 10 seconds each--just click on the link. Once a week they do a three question trivia and you get more points. You can also earn by referring people.

It lets you set a goal and most of the goals are even amounts: 500 Bing Rewards points = $5 Amazon, Starbucks, Game Stop, etc... You can also be rewarded in Swagbucks but it takes 575 Bing Rewards to 500 Swagbucks. Once you earn Gold status you get a discount on those gift cards (but not on SB).

Thx! I'm doing the Bing thing as of this afternoon!

I am having more luck on my phone than ipad. Even tried uninstalling the apps and reinstalling. Also still missing eNgage.

New to this. Am I doing something wrong?
The "Take a Discovery Break" and "Encrave" (Including the "Daily Crave") pages NEVER load for me. Just bring up a black screen with a the icon you usually click to "play" a video but it's not clickable.
Do I have to turn off a pop up blocker or something similar?

Are you doing it on a computer or a tablet? Also clear your cookies/browsing data and that sometimes helps. Some days things are just glitchy too.

Laptop
Will try clearing cookies.

Another newbie question> The swagosaurus and jumping game.... Is the limit of 10SB PER GAME or combined. In other words can I get 10 from swagasaurus AND 10 from jumping game in one day?

It's a max of 10 points per day though this last week it seems like I have only been getting 6 or 8

Thanks so much!
I got it with swagasaurus, then kept trying with jumping game and nothing.... so that's why! Now I know!! You saved me a lot of fruitless jumping!

Question: My 14 yr old daughter would like to earn some Disney $. Can she join as a referral of mine and use the same devices that I use (laptop, iPad)?

That was happening to me too. After getting 6 SBs playing Swagasaurus, it wasn't giving any more SBs for other rounds I played. But I discovered an oddity by accident. If I click away from the game after those first 6 SBs when it looks like I won't be getting any more SBs, and click on something else like My Swagbucks for example, when I open the game from scratch again, it gives me 2 SBs after the FIRST game. If it doesn't credit me up to 10, I get out again and click on something else, then open the game again. It only takes a few extra seconds, and I've made it up to 10 SBs per day since figuring out this weird little glitch.

Wow, thanks, that just worked for me! I had pretty much given up on getting those ten points each day.

You're welcome! So glad it worked for you too.

Just an update...I have heard NOTHING back from SB about my inquiry. I didn't even get an acknowledgment that they are looking into it. My current balance is now -1,034 which means I should only be 66SB short of cashing out for another $5 Target GC, but until they fix my account, I'm screwed.

Well, so far, I am not impressed with the customer service at SwagBucks. I have sent them email confirmations showing that DLyte resubmitted my order and it was processed, sent and received within the timeframe of the offer. They replied that DLyte showed that my offer was "Incomplete" and therefore they cancelled my points. I just RESENT them all of the information, including the screenshot of my DLyte account showing that the order was completed and even the date that it was processed and sent. I don't know what more they want...I completed the offer, within the timeframe, and followed all of the instructions...and now my SB account is NEGATIVE because they changed their minds and said I didn't complete it...despite the PROOF they received...TWICE!

She could join, but I wouldn't use a referral. She would end up getting banned by her first cashout (or even before).

You are the forth of fifth person that I know of who has had problems with that offer. SBs hasn't done anything for those people either.

Are you not allowed to refer family members?

Has anyone tried contacting the company offer the bonus? If that company isn't paying SBs for the referral, then SBs isn't going to pay out. Maybe contacting the other company might help.
