Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards or extra money

Pam6 · #**801** 10/11/11, 05:03 PM

Hmmm...one of my swagstakes entries was refunded. Wonder what is up with that?? At least the points all came back as regular swagbucks and not as one of the partner site points. I do feel the need to go spend it on another swagstake....but I have never heard of anyone winning one of the BIG prizes so it is probably just a waste of swagbucks.

Code out on the toolbar!

Pam6 · #**803** 10/11/11, 11:48 PM

I qualified for TWO surveys tonight!! WOW!! 150 and 75!! I m now at 540 SB!! I did that all in just one day! This is definitely the fastest I have ever earned points before!! I have one card down for November!

It seems so funny that I am now getting surverys. I have only been trying them because I have been maxing out on swagtv and then I don't have much else to do on SBs! LOL!

Wow - I just got 18 sb for searching for homesteading today! I do it about everyday & have received nothing until today.

Pam6 - when you say the code was on the toolbar yesterday. Do you mean on the main sb page? The one along the bottom?

Please bear w/me lol,
Thanks

Congrats Pam6!

So I'm sitting here sipping my coffee combing through the special offers section of swagbucks when I come across the Lindt Chocolate Video worth 2 bucks. Here's what the screen read when I clicked on it - Please try another offer. Unfortunately, this offer will not be relevant to you. We have many other offers. Please go back and try another one. I didn't feel like my old self when I woke up this morning because if I was me then this vid would fit me like a glove. Unless they're saying that I can only appreciate low end chocolate ? Hmm

Maybe for one of you it will work.

Well my newly earned & redeemed $50 amazon gift card didn't last long I already spent half. Got a good deal on SPAM with Bacon because of you all recommendations.

Going the subscribe & save option I got each can for $2.10.

There is a toolbar that you have to download. It goes at the top of your web page so no matter what you are doing the toolbar is there. Then you have to click on SBTV on the toolbar and then the code will pop up under the tv.

Please feel free to ask any questions!! We are all here to help each other and to learn and earn!

WOOT! One of my referrals got a 50 on a search win last night!! With a few other referral wins last night I was up nearly 100 SB this morning....from 540 to 639 right now!!

Pelenaka, you got a great deal on the SPAM!! I am still waiting for my $50 AGC to clear. Maybe today or tomorrow. I am THINKING about getting a new Kindle Fire so I am just holding the money in my account anyways so I am not in a big rush for it to clear. If I keep going at the rate I am I will be earning another $50 AGC pretty quickly!!

codee on widgetee

Pam6 · #**808** 10/12/11, 11:09 PM

I missed the code and no swagtv for me today.

I have been busy today! Wednesdays always seem to be my busy days.

WOWSERS! One of my referrals just got a 59 on a search!! WOOT!! That just about makes up for the lack of tv bucks! LOL! I am at 810 right now and I still have one more search win to go and 10 points for games.

Off to play games...

country4me · #**809** 10/13/11, 12:11 AM

What is widgetee?

Pam6 · #**810** 10/13/11, 12:06 PM

There is a swagbucks widget on my blog on the right hand side. The link to my blog is in my signature line.

Pam6 · #**811** 10/13/11, 05:22 PM

Note to self: Do not get addicted to swagstakes! Do not get addicted to swagstakes! Do not get addicted to swagstakes!!! LOL!! There was a thing that popped up on FB for double entries for an XBOX 360 with Kinects for 24 SB and I could not resist!! I did a post on the swagbucks FB wall and several people did respond saying that HAD won a swagstakes! I think the top responder was a $100 AGC!! Several small ones and then at least one said they won 1,000 SB for the survey DQ swagstakes.
I really don't feel that bad for entering because within a minute of doing I got two search referral wins for 10 SB each and then I won 10 SB on a search so I made up for it FAST!! Now I am doing swagtv. I am at 929 SB now and I am hoping to be over 1,000 by the end of the day.

mpillow · #**812** 10/13/11, 08:25 PM

Oh I'm hooked but I don't do facebook stuff....

I had to send proof of some of the paymentwall offers I did...just got credit for 70 SB...now I have 4 more contested....I've got emails to prove so...

I'm hoping to stay around 75 a day on free dialup and a few trips to library and DD has her own laptop (she bought from cleaning houses) at school...Can she enroll for herself under me? She's almost 16yo

Pam6 · #**813** 10/13/11, 08:36 PM

Mpillow, yes she can open her own account under you. I would advise making sure that you each use your own computer every time though. I hope you get all of the SB that you have earned!!!
FB is mostly just used for code alerts...for me anyways. But I have actually received several code alerts from this thread! So if those of us who do get the code alerts post here when we see them hopefully it will help those who are not on FB.

Pelenaka · #**814** 10/13/11, 09:10 PM

I've also learned about special offers on swagbuck's facebook wall which I've posted on this thread.
I've also search topics off the wall.

Pam6, hope you win !

I was only able to get two search wins yesterday. I know many others on FB said the same thing. I searched a lot yesterday...and all day!

Today is Mega Swagbucks Friday. Meaning you have a greater chance of hitting a larger amount of points on a search. I have found from past experience that I only get ONE search win early in the day and then I can not get anymore wins until LATE in the evening on Fridays.
I am beginning to think that the system is set up to only give out so many points. So if they are giving away larger amounts there are less wins. After the big code day I never got more than two search wins for 2 or 3 days. That was 6 sets of missed search points...averaging 10 points each= 60 points!
So I am beginning to think that I am still just breaking even in the over all scheme of things after I get the codes because I get less wins...if that makes sense. Of course I have not tracked it to be absolutely certain.

Code out on Twitter!

manygoatsnmore · #**819** 10/15/11, 02:05 AM

Pelenaka, thanks for the heads up on the Spam w/Bacon! I just ordered 12 cans with the subscribe option, and I'll cancel the subscription after I receive my order. That comes out to a bit over $2 a can and free shipping.

Pam, you've been on swaggin' fire lately! Congrats.

No fear of me getting hooked on swagstakes - I used up all my sister site sb and didn't win a thing! Oh, well, at least now when I look at my sb total, it's accurate. I wasn't on at all yesterday, and today I missed the code, only got 2 searches so far, and am not growing my sb account very fast. On the other hand, 4 of my 5 $5 agc posted and I added them to my gift card account at Amazon. After buying the Spam, I'm at 99.81 - I think I'm gonna have to chip in some $$ if I decide to go with the Kindle Fire.

Pelenaka · #**820** 10/15/11, 09:27 AM

Good MGM, I'm glad that worked for you too.
I woke up early and have a pot of coffee brewing along with some of that SPAM with Bacon. I ordered mine on Tuesday & UPS delivered it yesterday on my front stoop. I'll cancel the subscribe & save in a few.

Last night I had to go to Aldis for beef broth so I checked the price on a few items; like the canned beef & gravy $2.99/12 oz., and the canned ham which was over $2 and just a pound. So I'll be shopping amazon for those items if I can get a comparable or better price.

Made French Onion soup as I turned in my pop bottles and had walking (biking actually) $. Stopped by the farmers market bought large onions for 50¢ each. Killing me I couldn't find any harvested onion fields to glean this year. Onions & beef broth, butter, where the only ingredients that were purchased. Used our own homemade cider (gleaned apples) that I canned a few years ago and white wine hubby made.
A couple of big slabs of homemade bread from locally grown wheat that I bartered for ... well you all get the picture.
Hmm maybe I should see about commercially caned beef broth on amazon, lol.

I'm up to 2,422 swagbucks had two surveys 60 & 61 sb off of special offers payment wall I think. I never get qual for the ones in survey so I stopped trying. Seems that I do better with the ones in special offers.
3 search wins for 10 each, my 2nd day in a row. If I played the lottery I'd play 10 all the way thru.
A referral who had stopped more than a month ago got a search win for 10 also. Maybe with the holidays coming up peeps with reconsider doing swagbucks.

I'm gonna go enjoy my scrambled egg (bartered for eggs) & SPAM with bacon breakfast because it was free ! Coffee too unless you count the water & electricity to cook.

Swag on ladies Swag on !
