Those using swagbucks ???

[Marionnette]

I had a pitiful 31-pt. bonus for June because I pretty much gave up early in the month. First, my dog ended up in the ICU (she's fine now) and then I had to focus on packing for our cruise.

So, I'm back to Swaggin' but not with too much enthusiasm. My goal is to hit the first goal every day for the next 3 weeks. Then we head to the beach for a few days and I'm not going to kill myself worrying about Perk or SB or GC churnng. If I earn one $25 GC this month, I'll be content.

Now my 4 sb ncraves are gone. And I haven't hit 77 sb yet. Ugh.

Same. Just getting to 77 today is so painfully slow.

 

[wendow]

Anyone else not have their bonus yet?

 

[SunnieRN]

Well it didnt show me anything, so I started doing ncrave. When I got to 200 SB it gave me my bonus!!! 606!!!!

Thank you everyone!!!! You're awesome!!!!

Sorry about your dog. Glad she is ok now!

I only had 166. I didn't even get a 7 day goal this month, just too much going on. I'm going to try to be better this month. I actually hit two surveys today so had no problems meeting the 77 goal and am up to 157. But I can definitely feel everyone's pain, because I definitely have plenty of those days too!

I was able to get the 1000SB for the Dollar Shave Club. Yay!

So glad your dog is doing fine now. I didn't swag as much in June as I was before, mainly because we had a week long beach vacation. Aside from a couple of Shop and Earns that posted, I didn't touch swagbucks for about 10 days. Still managed to get a decent bonus, but I'm not super worried about it anyway. I used to try very hard to make sure I met (or exceeded) both goals daily, especially to get the monthly master bonus. However, it didn't take long before I found myself staying up way later that I should be to try to eek out those last few swagbucks for the day. After my first few months swagging, I realized it's just not that important. I mean, seriously, we're talking about an extra $3. LOL! Of course I love the "FREE" money I'm getting here, and I plan to continue to earn. I just don't pressure myself to make any specific amounts. If I make my daily goal then yay! Lots of days I still exceed that when there are plenty of offers crediting and extra promos going on. I just don't give myself a headache anymore to push myself to get a couple of extra bucks. If it's a slow/bad swagging day, I just move on with my day.

I had that happen on a survey also. Worked on it for 20 minutes,then at the end boom. It disqualified me!!!

My first goal was 77, second goal 540

Same! I feel like those are slightly unfair in that they take a TON of information with legitimate survey like questions only to find out after an extensive period those were "qualification" questions. They took more than demographics from me and if that is the case we should get compensated...

Same. Just getting to 77 today is so painfully slow.

Tried over 15 surveys and nada...while the goal is light today, def feels like an uphill climb.

I keep getting the thing to verify that I'm not a robot on my nCraves. Is this part of the new terms of service? And if so do we now need to babysit ncraves?

Well said! I used to be the same way, then I stopped viewing swagbucks as "free money". It isn't free, I am exchanging my time for the swagbucks and my/your time has value. If I spend an hour doing activities and make 150 swagbucks, I just spent an hour in exchange for $1.50. Thats not a "great" value for my time.

I do it casually now, and try to not get too sucked back in to the "obsession".

What you do today doesn't have anything to do with when the bonuses from last month show up. they just start putting them on and will show up on that meter at some point. Anything done today or for the rest of the month will not show up till next month.

For those of you with high second bonuses, it probably means you did some really high paying offers over the past few weeks or shopping, etc. I am hodling steady in the 200-250 range this week. I like to get lots of points but I don't go wild these days. I have had some days last year with over 400 for my second goal and it's really impossible so I cut back when it gets that high and it goes down.

Personally I wouldn't cut back to get a lower second goal. The first and second goal bonus makes up a very small percentage of what I make on Swagbucks.

Has anyone read the new terms of service this morning and know how they're different than before?

I read them but unfortunately I DON'T know how they're different than before. However, SB really seems to want to make sure I read them (I noticed the go into effect August 1 for existing users) so I am wondering what major thing has changed that I won't figure out until it's too late....

 

[havaneselover]

Slightly better morning than yesterday. I'm getting more rounds of LTg and got a 100 sb survey (which was painful to complete). Still a lot more work by last week and still wondering about the new "I'm not a robot" captcha on the 2 sb sports nCrave which I like.

 

[jenseib]

Sounds like the group that owns Swagbucks also bought My Points.

 

[pigletto]

My bonus was 712 for my first month . I'm pleased with that . I agree it's not free money , but it is money I can earn easily from home while I do other things and when it's convenient for me . I made $125 last month and spent absolutely nothing . This gives me wiggle room in my vacation budget that I wouldn't have otherwise . It's slow going hitting my goal this morning though. I'm going to pack it in and try later .

June Bonus Points are up!

Quick question about these ...are these added to our DAILY TOTAL or the overall total? I've already hit my total for the day, but I want to wait to claim until tomorrow if it's going to hit the daily total. If it doesn't matter, then I'll go ahead and claim.

Does anyone know?

I recently signed up for Swagbucks. After looking back through this thread, it seems like some people redeem for smaller gift cards, like the $5 ones and then some redeem for larger amounts. Is there a reason to redeem for the smaller ones more frequently, rather than save up points for larger redemptions?
