Those using swagbucks ???

[ThisIsJason]

Thank you so much for this! Would you happen to know why my nCrave page is blank? Is it because I'm using firefox?

What country are you in? nCrave isn't available in all countries.

Canada.

Just double checking you can use a walmart ecard code at SAMs club to buy physical gift cards? I would prefer a gift card than the paper certficate.

Yes, you can use WalMart ecards at a Sam's Club store. I earn them on Swagbucks, cash out in $25 increments, print the Walmart ecards and keep them until I have $150, then I go to Sam's and it costs $143 for the 3-pack.

It's slightly less than the 5% Target discount, but I have the cards in hand as soon as I buy them.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this. I've only used Safari, Internet Explorer, and Chrome for my browsers and have always had the nCraves available with no problem. Maybe you could try downloading Chrome and using that? Or maybe someone else has an idea why you're getting a blank page...

 

[ThisIsJason]

Canada.

That might be why. Last I knew nCrave wasn't available in Canada (but this was a year ago I last saw anything).

 

[Marbel]

Aw rats! It must be because I'm in Canada. I tried with Internet Explorer as well. That bites.

I would add that the other problem is that you have to run a ton of videos to get those 6 swags! When I can get 4 for two short comedy videos...the value is questionable.

Yes, that's a good point. I should mention that I mostly use the higher value nCraves when I'm going to be away from my laptop for a longer stretch of time. If I'm back and forth near the laptop, I sometimes use lower value nCraves that play through more quickly since I'm available to restart it or open a new one.

Also, the 4 SMs for the 2 short comedy videos can only be used once a day and I'm guessing may not be there very long. I have a funny feeling that it is an oversight that they have such a high value for only 2 videos. But I hope I'm wrong and that one sticks around a good long time.

Thanks for posting this! I'm glad to know that the Walmart e-cards can be used in the store as well. I always wondered about that but had never tried.

You cannot click away from the page while an nCrave is running automatically, although I've sometimes been able to open a new tab on Chrome and do other things on the internet while the nCrave continues running on its own tab. Other times for some reason, that doesn't work for me. But usually I run nCraves when I'm doing other things anyway, like washing dishes, taking a shower, whatever - times when I don't need to be on my laptop anyway.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Great tutorial on nCraves! I had the same issue with nCraves sometimes working when I use another tab and sometimes not. I finally found a solution by opening a whole new browser window. Right click on the Chrome icon on your taskbar and click "New Window". It helps if both windows are not maximized because then you can monitor nCraves and move it to another set when it's finished.

I was having issues and someone on here suggested my adblocker was the problem. Sure enough, after I disabled it on that page, nCraves worked perfectly.

Thats a good idea...wasn't trying to say you can't earn points that way but if people are being active thats not the best way. If you passive and away that is a great way to get some points!

Oh, that's great! I'm going to try that for sure. Thanks so much for the tip!

Cool! Isn't this thread the best thing ever? Literally, everything I've learned about Swagbucks has been as a result of this thread. Everyone has been so helpful and willing to share their best tips. I know I still have a lot to learn because there are some areas of the SB site that I don't use yet, but I'm so happy with the areas I am using so far.

Oh, I'm glad you made the point you made! It's definitely a good one. After all, everyone is trying to earn the most SBs for the least amount of time, so anything that points in that direction is helpful for sure.

Speaking of spending less time for more SBs (more bang for the "bucks" ha), I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really do the surveys any more unless there's some kind of incentive going on involving surveys. I got tired of spending a lot of time, getting well into a survey, only to have it suddenly say that I don't qualify. Or a survey would be listed as taking 8 minutes, and it would take more like 30 minutes. I'm doing much better by using the mobile apps, nCraves, and the Watch option (I zip through the categories and do the ones that are only 2 or 3 videos for 1 SB, or any better ratios than 4 videos for 1 SB. I only do this if I'm sitting around watching TV and feel like clicking through some of these while sitting there).

Thats funny! Ive been doing surveys non stop....but I have found out which ones are more likely to get me points. I have been turned down ALOT but I usually hit a few in between that make getting points easy!

Do you have AdBlock or a similar extension installed? That will make no nCrave activities show up.

After I start my auto nCraves in Chrome, I click in the window to make it active and then Ctrl-T to open a new tab. The nCrave activity will keep running in the other tab in the background while I browse in the new tab.

 

[TheDisneyDoll]

how many Ncraves can you earn a day?

 

[crazymomof4]

Yes, you can use WalMart ecards at a Sam's Club store. I earn them on Swagbucks, cash out in $25 increments, print the Walmart ecards and keep them until I have $150, then I go to Sam's and it costs $143 for the 3-pack.

It's slightly less than the 5% Target discount, but I have the cards in hand as soon as I buy them.

I like this idea too! Like you said, it may be slightly less than the redcard 5% BUT.... you can use more credit cards to pay at Sams than you used to (for a long time they only took debit or Discover) So if you purchase with a rewards credit card you get even more % off. (My Citi Double Cash gives me 2%)

In other news.... nCrave seems glitchy this morning. Videos keep freezing and I've had one give me the "acitivity did not complete" message after all the videos had played.

Click on Discover and you will see nCraves as one of the options. nCraves are various videos, articles or websites to check out for varying numbers of SBs.

You cannot click away from the page while an nCrave is running automatically, although I've sometimes been able to open a new tab on Chrome and do other things on the internet while the nCrave continues running on its own tab. Other times for some reason, that doesn't work for me.

To go to another page make sure your cursor is on the screen of the auto run encrave. Then on your keyboard push ctrl+tab and you will go to a new window. The encrave still runs and in this new window you can do another activity like surveys, brand activities, jun, etc. I have never had a problem with this as long as your cursor is on the screen before you ctrl+tab over. I have made it a habit to have the cursor on the video first.

you can earn 4 SB in the comedy section for watching 2 short videos right now
