Those using swagbucks ???

[Jen and Ashwin]

Usually offers don't credit for me, but given the lack of TTG, and LTG, I decided to try some. Under Discover there is something called Hipmunk. 35 SB credited instantly, after I did one search for a travel destination/dates.

If you just type Hipmunk into the search bar, it will pop up at the top of the screen. This credited instantly and pushed me over my first goal. Thanks!

New to Sawgbucks!! Trying to get some extra $$ for a trip we are planning for June 2017. So I have a few questions so bear with me. Is the swag button an ok thing to add? Any good tips to get me started??
I have done erewards for quite a while and used to do Inbox Dollars.

I consider the Swag Button to be a form of spyware, so I don't have it installed on my main computer. However, I have an older laptop that I only use for rewards programs. I have the Swag button installed on it. It's safe to install, I just don't like having a program on my browser that can potentially follow my every move.

I recommend installing all of the apps on a smart device (iPod Touch, old iPhone, or iPad, or Android device). Run them during the day for a total of 60 SB and perhaps more if you get any bonus rounds. Add a short video to your favorites in each of those apps and run it repeatedly in order to get through them more quickly. Search this thread for suggested videos.

I have the search button on one of my browsers and I use it to earn search points through that browser. I do not have it set as my default search and once I get my morning search points, I go back to using my preferred search method.

I also run videos on the website for credits. You'll see references to LTG, TTG and Blue Men as well as NCrave and NGage throughout this thread. You earn 2-3 SB for each series of videos run through those links on the SB website.

There are also surveys that will earn you larger amounts of SB, but they can take a lot of time and will not credit if you are disqualified. I tend to attempt them only if I'm close to reaching my second goal for the day and I want to finish up.

Don't forget to do the easy points. Those would be the Daily Poll, Daily Crave and the Daily NOSO, as well as playing Swagasaurus 10 times for 10 SB (look for it under Play and let that little dino run himself over the first cliff each time).

I tend to run the Watch videos to make the remainder of my points. They run all day on my extra laptop and you can earn a maximum of 500 points per day this way. I never reach the maximum.

You will want to hit your first goal every day. There are two daily goals and each one will award bonus points for reaching them. In addition, you will earn a bonus for hitting your first goal for 7, 14, 21 straight days, or the whole month. The daily bonus points and streak bonus points are awarded at the beginning of the next month.

There's a lot more to the program, but it's probably better if you just start slowly and get comfortable with how it works. Trying to jump in and do "everything" right at the start can be confusing. Good luck!

Today is the first day of a new collector bills set and search and learn. Bummed about the lower ncraves lately!

 

[wendow]

I am bummed about lower ncraves, lack of blue men, TTG & LTG, ngage not crediting...seriously struggling to get SB's today. Is it always this low at the beginning of the month?

I think it is more the beginning of a new quarter. Businesses are evaluating what advertising worked and what they don't want to do again. If you think about Jan-March it started bad and got better and better (still no where near as good as the holidays). Now it is a new quarter and we seem to be similar to January. This is just my theory, I may be wrong.

I think you're right. Still not as bad as January when it was completely abysmal, but it's a little rough. I've managed to get some surveys though. Back in January I wasn't able to get ANY surveys.

 

[wendow]

I didn't start SB's until Feb mid-month'ish so I've not seen what it looks like at a new quarter but these last few days have been rough!

 

[toystoryduo]

Ugh! I made first goal today, but it was rough. My ncraves keep disappearing, and I couldn't get any surveys to credit either. I hope things pick up in the next couple of days.

It was terrible. There were pretty much no surveys, LTG and TTG were gone most of that month, ncrave was 1 and 2 like it is now, if you had it at all. There were no bonus rounds on the apps at all, BUT you got 86 then. It was pretty much watch lists, and they increased in how many videos you had to watch to earn swagbucks. It was really bad going from November and December to January. We had a 10 Ncrave and 6 SB was the norm for ncrave. TTG would give you 60-80 sometimes a couple times a day. Bonus rounds all day long on the apps. The holidays are awesome for swagbucks.

 

[John Marecek]

Still fairly new to this. I know who LTG is, but who is TTG?

 

[PerfessorZ]

Yeah - I did a little better in January, actually, thanks to more app SBs.

To answer TTG and LTG questions.

Thank you.

I managed to get a couple of surveys today that saved me. Yesterday was terrible. I just eeked out with first goal by the skin of my teeth!

Ok thank you!!! I thin kI am going to de activate the swag button. I dont feel comfortable with it and unfortunately I dont have an older laptop to use for just this. How do you run videos all day? You just click play and let it go?

Question....are there any types of offers I should stay away from?? I know not to enter my cell phone number or probably address just curious if theres anything else.

Stay away from any of the Lifescript offers. It takes you to their website and has you run through a million other ads and "surveys." I've never actually gotten to the end of them or had anything credit. Waste of time.

 

[JenzyHP]

Yay for a 10 min 50 sb gold survey that lasted 2 minutes!

 

[Cydney]

I got excited because there is a 4SB ncrave. It is only crediting 2SB.
On the plus side I got 50 from a quick easy survey.

 

[mckenk]

Is this a search bar specific to the swagbucks site? I can only one that searches the entire internet.

ETA - Never mind, I figured it out
