Those using swagbucks ???

I see discounted giftcards for the Rainforest Cafe in the rewards. Not sure if this happens often, but could be used at Disney

You can also use the discounted Landry's cards at Yak & Yeti's.

Ok, I am new to swagbucks, I'm slowly figuring it out. But my big question is what is realistic? Is it difficult to get the goal on a daily basis? Or does it get harder and harder? I don't want to devote hours to it every day but I'd like to earn a little bit of savings for Disney.

I saw on Reddit, if you go to Discover, Peanut Labs, Winter Samples it actually credits. These never work for me, but that one did and now I can go log off because I finally hit my second goal.

Thank you! This credited for me too, and these kinds never work for me. I'm sorry the shoes one did not work for you.

It depends on what you are willing to do. I run the apps (at least 60 SB per day) and run nCraves (another 25-100/day, depending on how high the payouts are, and how much I am home). It is mostly 3SB ones now, so I figure on about 9SB an hour, for 6+ clicks an hour (or 15 if I don't hit to turn discovery mode on, and its laggy so I keep forgetting again and again, sigh). If I am home anyway and don't have a lot going on, just glancing at the computer every 20 mins is not a big deal to me.

Of course, that's only about $45 a month, at an earning rate of 120/day, assuming that allows you to make 1st goal daily. But, I also get shop and earn from churning gc on ebay, and my actual average is closer to 180 or 200 (and was 300-400 in Sept-Dec); I haven't had a month below $75 since auto nCraves started working for me in June. I rarely do anything that requires me to spend money (other than S&E for things I was already going to buy, when swagbucks has the best payout), although I did do the Kinsa offer in January while I was at Disney So, $50/mo is pretty easy, and $100 is reachable with just a little more effort.

Thanks! Yeah I figured I would set my goal of about 1000 points a week. I'm not looking to earn a lot, just a little spending money for our trip next year. So far today I already got a gift card for my trip that was on sale so yay!

How long do the sale items usually last? Is it something I should jump on immediately? Or do they stay for a few days? Thanks for helping a newbie out.

Totally agree with DIS_MERI. I have more time some days to look for more offers and other days, I never come up for air so I only meet my first goal (usually around 105). I have been at SB's for about 2 mos. The first month I was pretty much just looking around and the second month I figured out a few tips (from this thread!) and got more serious. I earned $75 last month. I think I will earn $100 this month, and I do not spend hours on this everyday. I run the apps and I'm a clicker so I will have the device in front of me while I am grading papers, cooking breakfast, folding laundry, etc...It's truly not a big time consumer to me.

If I got a discounted $25 landry's card, it doesn't ruin my 2100 for $25 gift card right? I'd still get to do that?

I think it does, because if I try to redeem the $25 Landry card in it shows up for 1870 SB (I haven't redeemed anything this month yet), instead of the sale price 2125 SB. I guess since i'd be using it at Disney World to eat it's still a better deal. You will have to wait till next month.

Agree to that as well! I try to get as many easy "Discover" offers as I can. Last month I was really good about running the apps while I was at work. Lately I've been forgetting. I also try to squeeze in a handful of surveys each week. In about 6 weeks I've earned enough for $75 in Target GC's. I would say $50-100 a month, depending on how much effort you put in, is a very attainable goal.

I'm rarely able to run the apps due to crashing, and I can't use SB at work (including just running apps)- so I can't devote what a lot of people here are able to. So I spend about an hour on it when I get home after work and eat my dinner. I get $25-$50 a month. I have 2 good referrals, which helps.

 

[havaneselover]

I only do sb before 7am and after 7 pm during the week plus on the weekend. $100/month isn't hard for me.

The 5SB for DiGiorno showed up in my earned Swagbucks yesterday. I don't remember clicking on any offer but I'll take it!

Some of these surveys are so silly. I just did one on Skippy peanut butter. I had to agree/disagree/etc with the statement. "My life would not be the same without Skippy" "I find myself frequently thinking about Skippy" "I know things about Skippy that no one else knows."

Venting about surveys...

I did a survey last night. It was 50+ points for a 10 minute survey on healthcare.

45 minutes into the 10 minute survey as I am ready to put it through the window, I get this message: 'This next section of the survey will be to determine how Blue Cross Blue Shield makes you feel.'

That 10 minute survey took me over an hour to complete. Someone is damn lucky I didn't get DQ'd after all that.

Did you leave your collector's wallet in your back pocket? It's easy for it to be stolen that way.

Thats what i get for leaving it out in the open! Front pockets from now on

 

[TheDisneyDoll]

first collectors bills and now my bonuses are 22 videos apart. Not my day for swagbucks.

How frequently do y'all get the month bonus for earning? The most i can get is 21 days after that i always screw it up some how lol

I try my best to keep track of SB that should be crediting down the road, mostly from Raise purchases. How do you get in touch with Swagbucks if your purchase never credited? Currently I am missing 90 and 70 SB from 2 Raise transactions.
