Those using swagbucks ???

omg! My first goal for today is 78! (Usually it's around 30-40!) ...and on a weekend!! Did anyone else's jump up today suddenly? Or is this bc I've been doing about 150-200 SB per day and I've done it to myself by going so much over my 2nd goal?

I do about 200/day. After about three weeks my first goal jumped to about 100 and my second goal is now 220-300 or so. I only hit my second goal two or three times a week.

Sounds about right. I'm at 2.5 wks since joining. I don't think I'll be hitting my 2nd goal anymore! ....and here I was so excited that I was hitting my 2nd goal every day !!

Mine is 78 today but usually during the week it's over 100

Something I have noticed...My daily goals tend to be based on what I did the month before. Last month during the week I was doing 200-300 a day, This past week my daily goals jumped right up. When I do less...the next month my goals tend to drop down during that same week.

I was thinking with these new goals, I will probably focus on just making the 1st goal and forget about the 2nd. Maybe that will bring down my goal level again. The "honeymoon" is over between SB and me I guess....LOL

Just cleaned out a second Family Dollar for the Net10 LG Optimus Fuel $9.00 deal. Thats two that are out of phones now. The second only had two left. They had a ton of the Net10 Maxpatriot Android phones for the same price. Not sure how those will run but the Fuels run pretty decent for 9 bucks!

Now with Perk its five devices running PerlkTv or 5 devices total?!? Confused...

I had an unusual earning today: I did a search and was rewarded 14 SB with a Collector's Bill. The bill is marked St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland. It seems they did Collector's Bills for certain holidays and if you collected four of them you got an extra 14 SB bonus. I'm confused why I got a St. Patrick's one in July, but I'm not complaining.

Speaking of which...what is the Collector Bills?!?

I keep getting annoyed at getting bumped out of surveys when I'm 10-15+ minutes in and getting nothing or 1 SB. I wish there was a pro-rate thing in place that after getting so far into a survey you have to get a certain percentage of the points that the survey was worth. For instance, I got about 20 minutes into a 150 survey and then got told I wasn't qualified... um, yeah, 1 SB for all that time isn't right. I mean, I know I don't get all the credit because it didn't complete, but it shouldn't just be 1 either...

Oh well, I've already gotten 1 Disney gift card from SB, so I'm just gonna keep plugging away.

FYI: If you have Google Wallet, you can load your Target eGift Card onto your Google Wallet and then go IN STORE and get your card at the register. They just scan the code in on your phone.

Not sure if what other ones it works for, but I had no issues whatsoever at Target last week.

I'd be interested in how well the Net 10 works for you. I am very tempted to go buy a couple, but I also read an online tutorial that said the cheaper models freeze a lot. Not sure if that was just that one person's experience, or across the board. I'm just getting started with PERK.

I'm not sure. It's the first time I've been rewarded with them although I don't use the SEARCH feature on SB a lot. I did a search and read up on them on the SB blog.

I can never find MovieCl.ips or Indymusic.tv when searching iphone apps

Simply search Swagbucks and they will show up.

The more you earn the higher your goals will be.

I'm curious about the Ncrave with little circles. I have never seen that before.....not sure what and where I should be looking for that.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of Ncraves too, but I think your first one of the day has to be done manually -- click through a slide show or else do a manual video show where you occasionally have to click on "Like it" or "Not for me". After you complete the manual one, then refresh the Ncrave page and you should see a number of additional ones show up that have the little circles. When you open one of those, be sure to select "Discovery Mode" at the top and it will then play through automatically while you go do other things. Do not click away from the page though or it stops. Some may only give you 2 SBs or so, but others may give you 5 or 6 or even 8 SBs. If you find one of the high scoring ones, you can run it over and over and keep racking up the SBs.

Ncraves were kind of a mystery to me at first, and people on this thread were gracious to help me get started. Now I'm a huge fan of Ncraves. Like the mobile apps, I can just run them and rack up the SBs with very little effort. I just check on the apps occasionally and restart the Ncrave occasionally.

Has anyone had any luck finding any SHORT videos on Indymusic to put in your favorites? It seems like all the videos on there are so LONG, so it takes forever to earn any SBs from it. I always save Indymusic for the last app I run each day, and sometimes I don't bother if I've already reached my second goal and if I'm content to be done for the day.

I was wondering that too. The shortest I have found is 2 minutes. I haven't looked at movies yet...did you find any short ones there?

Thanks, disneychrista! I did try that listing, but unfortunately most of the videos listed are not on the app any more. I've managed to find nice short videos for all the apps but Indymusic, so I guess I'll just continue to only use that app rarely.

Yes, for MovieCl.ips I have 4 short ones in my favorites - all about 30 seconds long or so. One is called "Think Like a Man Too" and the other 3 are all called "Big Eyes" though they are different from each other.

 

[jenseib]

yep I Indy doesn't have a single one on that list

 

[seeingstars]

So I checked out two Family Dollar's in my area and my husband checked another three stores on his way back to work and none of them sold the LG Optimus Phone. Anybody have suggestions for other cheap phones like it? Can I use any prepaid phone without having to activate the service or only Net10 phones? I don't have any experience with prepaid phone.

 

[crazelion]

Yes all do is use the on wi-fi thats all.
