Those using swagbucks ???

[MickeyMouseCD524]

Does anyone else get the entries into the swagstakes over and over again on the wheel. It is only one space how does it land there every single time???

Me! I think cause it doesn't really cost SB any money to enter you and the likelihood of them having to pay you is slim.

I've not seen the green 'sorry' screen so not sure what to say about that.

But I'd reset your router/modem (both if you have them individually and not a combined thing). And if regular reset doesn't do it, I'd try the 'hard' reset and you'll likely get them back.

And then after that (unless you lose them for an extended amount of time again, in which case reset it again) usually the regular switch browsers/clear cookies should fix it if you lose them short term.

So I just reset our modem...I put the pen in the back to reset it. Is that the 'hard' reset? I still have no nCraves :-(
Yesterday at work, I did have some, and if I turn on my hotspot at home, I have them. But at home, using the wifi, I have nothing available. Any ideas??? I'm really missing them!

I having been using Swagbucks for 2 months now. So, I was wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I am getting alot of unknown callers that do not leave a message. Today I decided to answer it. They asked for me by name (Debbie) - not my formal name (Deborah) (I use my formal name on everything except for Facebook, Swagbucks, and other computer aps). I asked what they wanted and they said they were following up on my back pain and skin issue. Sounds fishy to me. I told her to stop calling. Has anyone else had their Spam calls pick up since starting Swagbucks? And is there a way to stop it? Thanks and have a great week.

Yes, that's why I don't give any offers a "real" number. I have a Google Voice number that I use, it'll email me any time I get a call and a transcript of the voicemail people leave. If I get a call without a voice mail, most likely it was spam and I just ignore it. Occasionally they will leave a voice mail and I can either read the transcript or listen to the audio file to see if it was real or junk.

Most things on swagbucks and the like are just data mining to sell; so all those contests, newsletter sign up, coupons and such just want your email and phone number to sell to other marketing lists. Legit companies like Pampers, Just for Men and such will either not share or sell to other affiliates so you get other legit companies. The ones giving away chances for gift cards or free samples of unaffiliated brands are selling your info to anyone who wants it.

Thanks. I will check on getting a Google Voice number.

It's a nice way of telling you you lost lol

Something I noticed on MGC: there is one card listed for Gap and one for Old Navy. The Gap card offers 7.5% cash back and Old Navy is only 4%. However, you can use Gap gift cards at Old Navy, it even says so in the terms & conditions! I love old Navy so hope this helps someone!

Wow, that's more significant than the Buy Buy Baby/Bed Bath and Beyond. Bed Bath is 2.5 but Baby is 3% but both gift cards can be used interchangeably. That's kind of crazy with the Gap/Old Navy difference.

Out of curiosity I checked out the page and saw 2 Gap GC options. One for "Gap Options" which is 4% and then another just "Gap" one for 7.5%. Banana Republic is 7.5% but Altheta is 4% But like you said, they all say they can be used interchangeably so not sure what's up with the difference. Good catch.

Since I needed something unexpected from Petco for $60, I decided to buy a GC for the swago board. SB+Paypal with my Chase Freedom was the best deal around. Oh my gosh, the gift card came in less than 5 minutes! Crazy!

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Dang, thought that'd do it for you!

Have you tried a different device at home? (On your regular wifi) if you have another one you can try ncraves on just to see if that works?

I have two I use and sometimes couldn't get them on one and then would on the other and as soon as I did them once then the other started working again (similar w/ LTG - even now LTG will 'run out' on one laptop after awhile so I'll try him on the other and he often appears there then)

Otherwise I'm out of possible ideas...sorry

Ah bummer, I just bought Old Navy an hour ago.

I have been gone for awhile and just getting back to reading the posts. Can you plug your computer into a wall connection instead of wifi, so it is hardwired? No idea if it would help, but thought of it as I was reading the posts. I actually was missing videos before my trip. If I still am missing them, I might try that myself. I have been so burnt on SB (and sick) that I am struggling to get back into it. Yesterday's 15 min/100 SB survey that froze did not help my desire to jump back in sadly.

So, just this afternoon, some finally popped back up. They aren't working and keep freezing, but at least they are there! So maybe your idea of the hard reset did work, but it was just delayed in actually taking affect? But if they disappear again, I like the idea of 'plugging in,' maybe that would help!

Thanks friends for all of your help

I’ve been slipping on Swagbucks this month. It’s been a pretty busy and stressful month but I’m definitely going to pick it up in June.

What apps do you guys do besides Swagbucks? I’m also doing Shopkicks. I think my Carter’s think I’m a secret shopper lol. I’m out of school for the summer and since I do nothing all day I would at least like to make $100 a week (I know that’s a huge goal) but would like to start out with making $5 a day. I found my brother’s Android tablet so I can use that and my IPhone 8 Plus.

Besides SB and Shopkicks, I do:
Mypoints
Fetch
Receipt pal
Bing rewards
Erewards for airline and hotel loyalty points
points for surveys
opinion check-in
Dabble

Most are slow earners. I focus on Bing Rewards, SB, and erewards. When I have more time I go into the other survey sites and at least get the disqualification points.

I'll add Ibotta to Trenty's list. It's only for buying certain grocery items, and personally I don't go out of my way to buy most of it, but it slowly adds up. Checkout 51 is similar, I just never seem to remember to use it. The other day through Ibotta I bought a $10 item I was planning on getting anyways for in store pickup, it was a 10% back category on Ibotta ($1) plus they were running a bonus where any purchase through their app got you a bonus $5, Plus I got to use Paypal with my Chase Freedom for 5x points on my $10 Not quite the same as SB, etc, but it's just really easy to use.

I second Ibotta, Fetch and Shopkick. They aren’t the fastest earners but anyting helps. I also use CoinOut, Coupons and Field Agent.

And another poster told me about Achievement if you have a Fitbit or other tracking device. It’s a slow earner but you literally can just download the app, sync your device and forget about it.

Always on the look out for new ones!

Ugh, I really wish Acme would start taking Safeway gift cards, it would make it so much easier to get a Swago board. I'm down to SwagIQ and a GC to get my X pattern.
I thought it'd be so much easier now that they sold Best Buy but not so much Especially since you can't buy $25. I don't really need $50 since I still have this month's SB redemption one to spend because I couldn't put it towards a GC and I'm struggling to find something(s) I need for at least $50. They ruined me for purchases less than $50 now

 

[amalone1013]

Does anyone do Sunshine Rewards? I signed up forever ago but never do anything there. I've got $7 but need $20 to cash out to Paypal so I might try to hit that and be done with it.

In RU, this one is good since it's doubled. It gives you the option to log in or register. I registered because I couldn't remember my login, just used a new email. I did confirm in my email and then had points but it could have credited by the time I went in to confirm the email.
