Those using swagbucks ???

Are you sure your first goal is 380? I've never seen one higher than 115. My first was 85 and 2nd was 390 today. Which was nice because yesterday it was 420 I think. Of course earlier in the week my 2nd goal was 490, so...

I am sorry. It says "daily goal" is 85 but "total goal" is 380. I haven't been doing this long enough to exactly understand what that means... but even the "total goal" is MUCH higher than it was yesterday ..yesterday it was 30/80!

I had asked earlier about linking a credit card to Trial Pay. I didn't get a response, but I went ahead and tried it out. My DH linked his card in order to earn 500 SB for spending $10 at the movies. I found a Trial Pay offer for a $10 Regal e-GC for spending $10, so I linked mine that way. By the time we got home from the movie today, my DH's 500 SB had credited, and I had an email with my e-GC. Wish I had found that one before my DH linked his since the e-GC is double the value. Just hope everything is secure and I don't have problems down the road.

Signed up for Swagbucks several years ago and stopped using it. Just started up again this month to stash away some extra money for our trip next year. I have a couple of questions -
Are they always upping your daily goal? I started at 30 at the beginning of the month and now I'm up to 85. I was at 50 yesterday and they upped it again today! It's doable, but I don't want it to go any higher.

Anyone have any luck with the car insurance ones? I did two of them and neither credited. Now I am getting bombarded with emails without any swagbucks.

In general everyone has the same daily goal and it is between 85-120. It will usually be lower on the weekend and higher during the week. When you are first getting started it is lower (30-50) and as you start earning more it goes up until you are up to the regular daily level. Your total goal with vary depending on your personal earnings. You always want to at least meet your daily goal because it is what counts for your winning streak on the monthly bonuses.

OK so as long as i meet the "daily" goal I am good, and I don't have to worry about the "total" goal so much?

Correct. As long as you meet the daily goal you are good. Everyone tries to do it each day of the month to get the most bonus, but you need at least 7 consecutive days for an extra bonus. If you meet the 2nd higher goal you get more sb, so I met my 390 goal and get an extra 41 sb when it pays out next month. I like to meet my 2nd goal, but it's been too high lately to do it most days but the weekend.

Precisely

^thank you!

I bought a Raise gift card sometime in January, and it showed up a "Pending, Crediting in X days". Today it was supposed to credit. Now, it says "Credits after travel date". It was a Target gift card.. anyone else have this issue!? I just want my darn SB!

And note, you don't have to meet that goal. You just don't get the incentive credit if you don't.

There have been plenty of months where I haven't met the goal a single day. I still get the swagbucks I earned during the month. I just don't get bonuses.

I have never had it change like that, but I will say that they don't credit until later in the evening. If they don't credit put in a ticket.

I think it kind of fluctuates. It'll go up and then go back down. It doesn't just keep rising if that's a worry. I had sick kiddos at home yesterday, so I just let things run and did tasks all day and wracked up 271 points.

Be sure you're playing the games everyday- I play Swaggasaurus Run (I'm sure I butchered the spelling). You just let him fall off the cliff- don't bother with actually playing unless you need a brain break. Points and scores don't matter. You can get up to 10 SBs for that, and they give 2 SB about every other round. So just keep playing until you've got your 10.

Also watch the videos everyday. Today I reached my 10 SB cut off and it popped up saying "But you've qualified for a bonus!" So now it's rolling through 7 more videos to earn another 2 points. I've got the SBTV app on my iphone, and I just turn the sound off and let it run through the two 10 second Home and Garden videos over and over.

I did a dumb "Winter Trivia Quiz" yesterday that earned me 24 SB right away.

And I did Swag Offers: Hipmunk for 35. All you had to do was use it to search for a travel destination, enter the dates of your trip (it's like a travel reservation site) and let it search for hotels for you. You don't have to select one. That was credited within an hour of my search.

Thanks! I'm striking out today! I haven't qualified for any surveys that I've tried. I did several offers all the way through that didn't credit. Having a hard time getting to my 90 this morning. I think I need to give this up. I have a work from home job. If I'd spent my time doing that instead today, I'd be up $40 this morning. It just isn't as fun as earning with Swagbucks.

If SB is taking you away from higher earning activities, by all means - don't waste your time on it! Use the apps that autoplay, but really, if I make over $1 an hour doing it, I'm excited - it's not any way to make a living and if you end up earning less because of it, yikes!

I've been going hog-wild with it since work is in a very unfortunate slow period. All I'd be doing instead of SB is surfing the web or playing games. And now seeing how much $ I can make for our vacation is my new game.

 

[cariann77]

I definitely find myself wasting more time than it is worth. My work is tedious and some days, I just don't have it in me. So, I'll mess around with this instead. I usually just try to hit my daily goal and then move on with my day. Today, it's just taking me forever! Wish I had more referrals that used it!

 

[Vernie822]

I've been trying for ~ 100 SB/day. My goal is usually around that amount. Some days I get really lucky and earn 300 or so from a few surveys, then I remember it's only $3. But every little bit adds up and if you can get a $25 GC or something out of it each month, that's something!!

 

[Bubblegum1286]

I'm a stay at home homeschooling mom and my kiddo is sick today with the flu, so he's watching Lego movies and coughing all over my bedroom. So I have the time to be on SB all day if I want. I remember when I first started it, it was fun and exciting and I was making a lot of points, and then it died out and I lost interest in it until I started reading on here about how some people are using the cards to help fund Disney trips, and that's just about the only thing that motivated me to get back to it. I'm close to buying my first $25 card. We're planning on staying at the Ft. W next September in my FIL's RV. That's the low season, and I figure if we get a premium site that'll be about $88 a night. If I can earn just a couple of those $25 before then, I've paid for nearly half a night at Ft. Wilderness! That excites me a lot. So I keep trying even if it doesn't work. (I downloaded a game app today onto my phone that didn't get me any points. Was supposed to bring 25. It was solitaire, so I wasted some time playing a couple of games and then deleted it).

Like Vernie, I want to try and get at least 100 a day, but I don't know that I can do that today. I've hit my goal, so if I stop now, at least there's that. I say if it frustrates you, take a step away for a while. Maybe try again in a few weeks and see if there are any better offers for you

Is there a way to see what tickets are still open on the Swagbucks site? I have had to open so many lately- almost nothing credits automatically and I am battling to keep up with them all. It is really difficult to attain daily goals this way.

 

[Bubblegum1286]

Okay guys, I give up. I have NEVER seen TTG or LTG. I have read through this thread about them SO much, and I've refreshed pages and searched high and low and I still can't find them! What gives???

They are not always present. I had LTG this morning but not now. Haven't seen TTG in a couple of days.

 

[Mishi]

TTG, LTG? What's this?
