Those using swagbucks ???

[wendow]

I have a question for those of you who have done the Audible deal. It says the email must be the same as my Swagbucks email. My Amazon account is under a different email. Do I need to switch it or will it work? I really don't want my Amazon under that email. Thanks

I have different emails and it credited for me with no problems.

Somehow I qualified for a 150 sb movie trailer. About thirty minutes in on the fourth or fifth trailer I was reviewing I got booted out because they hit capacity. That's seriously irritating. I really need to stick to the 50 sb insight express and 65 sb peanut lab surveys.

By some miracle, my husband qualified on a 1500 survey that was a multi-day online focus group. Here's to hoping it actually pays out in the end.

I've done two of those.. they both paid off no problem, but took a few weeks! It was great!

I got picked up for a follow-up study that involved one my kids and tracking some of their activities for a couple days. It paid out 3000 SB, I think, although it took a little while for it to finally pay out.

Here's how I use Swagbucks to work for me - - - I have earned $384.06 in SB in the past 4 months! I make sure everyday to meet at least the lower daily goal, as long as you meet it, you will earn an extra 300 SB per month, plus bonus points. In fact for the month of April I earned $8.79 in just bonus points. I do the daily poll, NOSO, eCrave, plus watch for SwagCodes, I installed the search on my computer so I can earn Search & Win SB. I also do surveys to meet my goal quick, since I don't have a lot of time because I work 12 hours a day. I probably only spend about an hour each day on SB. I got my sister to sign up also so I get 10% of all the SB she earns as well. I always participate in the Swag-O boards or any other special point earning games they offer. I don't usually do SBTV or any of the video earning unless I just need a few more SB to meet my daily goal.

I cash out a $25 gift card to Sam's for $22 SB points at the first of each month, then I go to Sam's to buy a $150 Disney gift card for $142.98 minus the $25 gift card & the $3 free SB so in the end I pay $114.98 for the $150 Disney gift card. I cash out all of my other SB with Paypal so I can deposit the money right into my Disney Fund Bank Account. Also, from April-June if you use your Chase Freedom Visa Card, they are offering 5% cash back on all Sam's purchases, so that will be another great bonus for me since that's where I buy all my Disney GC's! Because who doesn't love free money??

We are going on our 4th trip in 5 years to WDW in July all fully paid for by doing surveys on various sites, credit card cash back, ebates, Saving Star, Ibotta, Disney Visa card rewards, etc. We have never once paid for any of these trips out of pocket from our paychecks. Our money is very tight, but I love Disney and am determined for my family to go as often as I can earn the money to pay for it, so I work hard taking every money making opportunity I can find to get us there. We haven't stayed in a Value Resort before, we have always stayed in the Moderates, but in July we are staying in a Deluxe! I am so excited about reaching that goal !

63 days and counting til our next trip . . . .

That is awesome!! I'm doing about the same as you and we have a lot of crossover things we are doing, I am also doing some other online things (anyone pm me if you want to know more i know no referrals on here.)

I am currently saving for our beach vacation this September. Since April 1st I've made enough to cover restuarants/food ($500.) I got lucky and won a $250 sweepstakes on a survey I got through swagbucks. Still can't believe I won. So now I'm on to second goal of $800 for the condo. Goal is to have it paid for before we go in September. After that I am going to start working on Disney, and I hope to pay for the whole thing with these types of things. My husband thinks I'm a little nuts (ok, just a little? lol.) He thinks it would be easier if I just got a part time job but I love the freedom of it, I can do it when I want and not when I don't feel up to it. I homeschool so I'm always right here and always here if the kids need me. He is shocked i've hit $500 so fast. I am too. So now I just have to keep it up so I can prove him wrong. He says a beach vacation is one thing, but paying for Disney - not going to happen. Here is to December 2017 - hopefully free dining!!

One question - I haven't gotten much into the gift card thing. I got the target red card recently but only used it once. I don't have a sams club membership i go to costco. I know you said you were solely saving for the trip so do you get your money from paypal to cover the $114.98 to pay for the gift card? I guess that is how I would have to do it.

Yes, I pay the $114.98 with the Paypal funds I transfer into my account. Sorry, I didn't think to post that earlier!

And congrats on the $250 sweepstakes win! That's amazing! I have only ever won like $5.00 before in those!

I use Swagbucks for myself and my husband too we have been paying for all the movies we wanted to see this year so far. My son also does bing and so do I it's not as good but it works. We will be splitting what we are doing now for Paypal and amc gift cards now. I did not know about the sams gift card deal but will check that out now too. I only do video and ncrave on Swagbucks sometimes a few surveys but i get kicked off those way too often it's annoying.

 

[havaneselover]

Slow morning. No LTG and didn't qualify for any surveys. Thankful my nCraves are running smoothly and I'm getting bonus rounds on the apps. Plus TTG has been there.

What is this swagbucks and how does it work? Would it be worth it for a stay at home mom to do to make a few extra bucks?

 

[StirlingSilver83]

I am so frustrated right now! I did that Fan-Chise offer for 750 SBs a week ago and have yet to see the credit for them. I have emailed the help desk people twice already and I haven't heard from anyone on their end in regards to it either. I also did the free trial on the discover part of the mobile app for the Escore thing that was 378 SBs and didn't get credit for it either, so I submitted another help request. Anyone else have trouble with either of these things?

Swagbucks is a combination shopping portal/search engine/get-paid-to site. The best ways to earn change regularly--I remember typing out a complete tutorial last August and I'm pretty sure most of that info is now outdated.
You can earn a decent amount of money or you might not. For example, I have gotten a home study that rewarded me with an $800 Roomba, but most days it's just trying to meet a simple goal which translates to one dollar. I usually earn $50-75 a month on Swagbucks.

How you earn--and how much you earn--depends on how dedicated you are, if you want to use Swagbucks' shopping portal and if you have a least one smartphone/tablet that can use apps.

People on this thread are very helpful and will answer any specific questions you have.

Just start reading through this thread and you will find a bunch of info. Some is outdated, but the basic concept is there. You could google tutorials on it too

The 750 from that football indie gogo posted today. So it took up to the 3 days.

I've gone back 5 pages looking for info on the Fan-chise thing and got tired of looking for more posts. Any others have a good or bad experience with this? I was thinking of trying it but if it's a big hassle I won't... any other insight??

I've been following along quietly and started doing swagbucks about 3 weeks ago. I've currently got enough SB to redeem for $25. I had thought about linking my bank account to paypal and depositing it that way, but.......I just really don't want to link my bank account to paypal. Currently just have a credit card linked to it and like that option just fine. Then my next thought was a WalMart gift card, use it when I buy groceries, and place the $25 savings into the bank. However, I've never used an e gift card and am a little concerned/unsure about it. Could someone tell me how it works using it in a physical store? Do you just print it out and take it with you? If your printer eats the paper or your ink runs out midway during printing can you reprint it or is it just a lost cause at that point?

I am having a problem with the apps that I have not encountered before. It started yesterday afternoon and I am getting it on all the apps. The ads run fine, even if I have to 'x' out, but the app doesn't even start the video. It gets me the 'loading' screen with the spinning circle, then just goes to a black screen and stays there. It never gives me the you have watched so many videos and to watch this many more videos. So, because i won't play the videos, only ads, I never get any SB's.

Anyone know how to help?

 

[PerfessorZ]

I didn't realize the "fan-chise" thing was the Indiegogo thing. Shows how much I pay attention.

Anyway, I got credited for it, too. It took the full 3 days.

I'm a stay home mom and when I put in some effort, I make about $75+ a month. It's just all going into our disney fund. On average, I'd say that's with 30-45 minutes of my time. I usually do it while I'm having breakfast.

I do exactly what you said. We get wal mart gift cards, then once I spend them on groceries, we transfer the $ to our disney fund. It's super easy to do. I just open the gift card through the email on my phone and screen shot it. When I pay, I hold up my phone with the bar code on it and they scan it. I've never had any problems. You can also print it out if you're more comfortable that way. You can print it as many times as you need.
