Those using swagbucks ???

[havaneselover]

Just starting to use sb shop and earn since I learned they pay for Disney gift cards from target. I made a purchase today from Target and need to make a purchase from gap. Should I wait until tomorrow so they hit on different days?

I just got 40 SB on search-but it wasnt a collector bill. I'm happy to have it make no mistake, it sure beats getting another 12 sb bill I already have, but I was surprised to not get a collector bill while the game is going.

Also, my ncraves keep disappearing for large chunks of the day. Is anyone else experiance this? Its so annoying

I've earned 30 four times (3 in the last 24 hours). I still need the one right next to it but I'm not really two concerned about the extra 20 sb.

My favorite nCrave is gone (4 sb Hollywood auto tour). I only have them in edge on one laptop. On my old laptop they are there on chrome???

This is me exactly! I go back to my teaching job Monday. I have been swagbucking all summer, and honestly I feel like I wasted a lot of time. I have decided that it was almost an addiction. So I have cut back to only one GC/month, and I feel so relieved! It's still a good feeling to get that one GC! Congratulations on your first one!

I also just went back to work (first day of school was last week) and I have had to come way down. Even in the summer I was only shooting for 85-100 a month including my bonuses but now that school is back I'm hoping for 50 a month. that's 160 swag bucks a day with a little room variation if I get atleast 200 in bonuses and get the discount on the first 25 gc of the month so it seems doable to me.

At my old school we could at least log onto the guest wifi and i would put my phone in a drawer running apps on silent and check it at recess and lunch but now I can't and I can't use all my data on swagbucks so its gonna be a bit of work in the mornings and evenings.

Yes, that is how I feel too! I'm not 100% sure my time is worth the payout. It is almost an addiction, I totally agree! We'll see how it goes when I go back to work.

What I have decided to do is get 50 SB each weekday. I can usually get around 30 before leaving for work, so that leaves only 20 when I get home. That requires very little time during the week. Then I will try to get my total bonuses on the weekends, around 120-130 for me. That should give me 2200/month so I can get a $25 GC. The daily goals are what kill me. I hate coming home from work and trying to reach the goal, especially when there's not much there. But I like getting some bonuses. So getting them on the weekends when I can run my apps throughout the day is a great compromise.

I also just started using SB. I would love to do $2/day, hence $60/month. This way I can use that money for Christmas or towards my next Disney trip. I also sign up for some of the subscriptions and keep very detailed notes so that I can pay myself back. So far I've done Audible, ASPCA, and Wen. These don't count towards my daily $2.

It's actually a lot easier for me at work then on weekends at home. If I'm on a call I can usually do a survey or two and the videos are easy to keep on. I like the random ones I find for 20sb to click on something or use a search engine.

I have been doing a 50 bs survey each morning with my first cup of coffee before I get in the shower. I also run ngage and the watch from the swag button. while I do it. the I start app and i turn on a regular watch playlist and an encrave while im in the shower and making breakfast.

then at night I try for another 50 or more survey-if I get frustrated I usually start doing searches and more watch and ngage instead. I do this while I am working on dinner. Then I run apps while I help my son with his homework and watch tv. More ngage and swag button while I do dishes (my computer is in the kitchen).

unfortunately my first daily goal is usually between 90-150 so I have to do quite a bit or I won't get any bonuses at all.

I've never gotten them to pay for Disney gift cards from Target, but I admit to stopping even trying late last year.

Different retailers take different amounts of time to credit, so 2 things purchased from different places may (or may not) credit on different days, and 2 things purchased on different days could still credit on the same day.

That's what I was wondering, thanks. This was my first shot. Maybe throwing in markers helped???

Yay! I just got my last collector's bill. Even though the bonus is only 20 SB, it was enough to put me over my second goal which was surprisingly high for a weekend.

In my limited experience, I think the markers will help. When I order ONLY gift cards I don't get any shop and earns and the last two where I have added an actual item I do have SB pending. We shall see if they actually credit!

 

[lorijohnhill]

It is taking forever to get SBs today! I still haven't met my first goal. It's painful today...

 

[amy1115]

For those who use shop and earn a lot... Have you ever had to return items, and if so, did your SB still credit? I had to return all but one shirt on a JC Penney order for my daughter, so was just wondering how that works?

 

[lovingeire]

I just got all the collector's bills! First time I've ever gotten a whole set since I starting swagging 18 months ago!

Woo hoo! I also just got my last collectors bill for this series. (The 30 SB one) Thank goodness my husband stays logged in to my account and searches random stuff because I never seem to get SBs from searching and he always does! This is the first time I've ever gotten all the collectors bills and I've been doing Swagbucks for years!

In my experience, you won't get anything (even for the non-gift card), but my last attempt seems to be 8/4/15.

Mine is pending. Were yours pending but just never credited?

It showed as pending for a few days and then changed to 0

Days that I am well over my goal: 30SB search win!

Days that I am no where near my goal: no search win in sight....

Well that's not encouraging. I have taken a screen shot of my shop and earn page so I can contact them if necessary.

This new daily thing is weird. There are 7 offers and you have to do 6/7 to get a bonus (it's 2 SB btw). Daily poll, crave, search, watch, discover, answer & deal of the day. I got 1 sb for clicking on the deal of the day, 1 for daily crave, 1 for daily poll. But then there was also "discover" that I didn't get checked off for but am not sure why. I click on it, and it goes to the discover page. I saw the "top coupons" that I do anyway so I did that. Even though I did it, it still looks like I didn't do the "discover" one. I didn't get anything for "daily search" which popped up a bunch of funny dog videos, and there's a "daily answer" where it sends you to try a survey (I did and got 75SB in 4 minutes!). Anyone understand the "discover" one? I guess 5 points is better than 3 for the daily stuff. I automatically think when SB makes a change it will get worse
