Those using swagbucks ???

[momabaarjo]

UGH...morning spinning wheel on the apps. Had to reinstall SBTV (now I have to rebuild my favorites) and now app trailers (perk) is doing the same thing. Luckily a survey noticed popped up right when I got on. First goal made...probably done for the day. I am not stressing this month on getting my goal everyday, we leave tomorrow for Disneyland with a $500 Disney gift card thanks to Swagbucks since November.

Where are you buying the Disney GC that uses PayPal to checkout? I've never considered getting the prepaid cards and typically just do the straight to PayPal. Is it the Virtual Universal Prepaid MasterCard and the Visa Virtual Reward?

.

You can check out using PayPal on Disneystore.com. I add the prepaid cards to my PayPal account and then select the card as my payment. I only purchase a Disney GC thatis the same value as the prepaid card. I've only recently had to do this, but have done it 3 times so far with no issues.

I hit the jackpot yesterday. I managed to do 4 surveys, cashed out for $25 paypal and had it deposited the same day, and had no issues with ncraves! I felt like I won the lotto. Then today I've had no luck with surveys so far. Hopefully I have better luck later today, but yesterday renewed my hope that maybe this won't be such a bad month.

Awesome - thanks! And is it the Virtual Universal Prepaid MasterCard and the Visa Virtual Reward?

Lots of insurance and medicare offers on AdGate (under Discover). They are all crediting even though I dont yet qualify for medicare! Just put in Zipcode, click on one of the companies that comes up, and wait a bit. (well sometimes I have to re-enter my zipcode once I click on a company.)

Some days those credit for me, other not. Today is a credit day, did 14 of them and 12 gave credit at 4SB each. Not bad for maybe 10 minutes of work.

I had to post this mini-frustration here where folks may understand.

I (like many others here) use sites like Swagbucks to really save towards our vacations. We take one vacation a year so I have (usually) 12 months to save up as much as I can. Typically, I can earn 30-50% of our total trip costs from surveys, gift cards, etc...but is a slow and steady process. Earning $0.80-$1.00 at a time is my typical pace so I am over the moon when I get a 100SB survey to credit.

Here's my frustration...I cannot get over the 2300SB for a $25 gift card deal. I know in my brain that cashing out 2500 for $25 in cash (via PayPal) is a much more flexible option for our upcoming trip. We are driving to HHI and I already have $600 in Disney gift cards saved up. I don't need any more Disney gift cards for this trip (heck, I'll probably have leftovers!) but I am also all set for the cash I have budgeted. It's always nice to have a cushion though...so I really want to cash out to PayPal....but I feel like I am "losing" $3.00. It takes me about 5-6 weeks to earn 2500 SB so it's not a decision I take lightly.

OK....vent over....resume normal programming

Now all you can eat is 18 vid for 1 an and a lot of my video playlists are gone. Sigh.

Haven't been able to play NCraves all day. If it wasn't for the All You Can Eats, I wouldn't have any video points for the day.

I know what you mean. Every dollar is precious when saving for a vacation, and I too would hate to leave even a few "free" dollars on the table unclaimed. Cash is always a good thing, but I do have a couple ideas how to still take advantage of the monthly $25 gift card for 2200 SB for your trip.

First, in the SB rewards section itself, have you thought about claiming a restaurant gift card for eating out along the road or once you reach HHI? They have a large selection of options which you can get at the discounted rate ($25 card for 2200 SB).

Second, by any chance are you a member of Sam's Club? If so, you can get Walmart or Sam's Club cards from SB at the discounted rate and then turn around and order a travel related gift card from the Sam's Club website. So it's a double discount, which is awesome! They have a wide selection on their website, or a smaller selection in their stores.

Third, if you're not a member of Sam's Club, you can cash out for a Walmart card and buy a travel related gift card at a Walmart store. You do not get a discount on gift cards at Walmart as you do at Sam's Club, but at least you'd still get the $25 for 2200 SB gift card rate up front.

Hopefully one of those ideas will work for you. Have fun planning your trip! I was just down at HHI for the first time last spring and we loved it!

Has anyone else had trouble with the apps? My SBTV app was not loading-the screen just went black, so I deleted it and went to re-install and now I can't find it in the app store.

I'v had th same problem I believe they removed many of the apps from the app store. I think you'll find it if you go into your previously purchased apps folder.

Thank you. I was able to find it, but unfortunately when I tried to download it, it just keeps saying "loading". Lesson learned...don't delete the apps.

Actually I missed it, they have gone up to 2sb for the 18, so that's actually good.

I just completed this offer in Peanut Labs for a quick 17 SB:

Protect Your Family Before It's Too Late

Credited after putting in my zip code. No other info needed.

Thank you so much for pointing this out! It has been at the top of the PL offers for quite a while, but I was trying so hard to get a survey to credit, that I just ignored it.

Now I am going to try the AdGate insurance offers to see if it really is my lucky day.

This was good for 72 SB for me today - I think I found 16 offers; one was worth 8 SB and the others were 4 SB. When I'd get to the bottom of the page, I'd click "Load More" and there were more insurance offers waiting. After practically driving myself crazy yesterday to make my first goal, it's nice to see the second goal as a possibility.

 

[georgina]

So my 2000 SB for the MisFit order (posted a few days ago) credited today, and I just got an email from the company that my order was cancelled. Anyone else get this? No explanation.
