Hi 5s pamda & grannygardner ! Stratagey meeting @ 1100, corner coffee shop. I'll pre-order pastries pm your desires. Ladies we have to carb up there's a 25 sb bonus in it for us that's twenty-five count 'um 1 2 3 4 ...
Let the craziness begin as if we already weren't swagging our hearts out to pay for Christmas.

I too got my one $5 paypal deposited into hubby's paypal acct no issues. Didn't get my $25 agc yet but with what's going on I think I can hold off for a bit, lol. I'm sure they'll get this problem fixed soon.

I'm in Let it Swag.

grannygardner 12/09/11 08:13 AM

Where's the like button? lol I think facebook has ruined me. I've contributed 137 points to the Jingle Bucks. I'll be contributing about a hundred more today between tasks, SBTV and special offers. I don't get many surveys.

Pelenaka 12/09/11 09:34 AM

K, np grannygardner, I have you down for a bear claw. I've reserved the booth by the fireplace since we just had our 1st real dusting of snow that has actually stuck around. Strange as this time last year we were slammed with over a foot.

Anyone notice the new icon next to your envelope icon (mail box) ?
I wandered around clicking. What I noticed is that now my swag acct. is linked to two fb pages one is id the other not. There's a button to click to reset but I'm gonna wait.

Swag on ladies swag on ! (Go Jingle Bucks) !!!

a nice surprise! a 92 point radium offer credited 2 weeks late!

jamala 12/09/11 06:21 PM

Need to vent about swagbucks! I got 11 referrals in November. And I know that 6 of them have well over 50 swagbucks and swagbucks will not give me my 500 bonus bucks. I contacted them last week and they said to wait to this week. I have contacted them 2 times this week and they say I don't qualify. It is so flustrating! I know I got them referrals and I know they have over 50 points. Any suggestions on how to get my points??? I have emailed them all the referrals names, how many points they have and when they signed up under me and still NOTHING. Thanks for letting me vent.

Elffriend 12/09/11 07:26 PM

I got another email from swagbucks and the glitch with the amazon gc from the other day is now fixed. I entered the code into my amazon account and it worked.

Yay!

I am right there with you! I know that I have had at least 15 people sign up under me since October 1st and I did not get anything at the end of October or November. I wonder if it as mpw said and that you get credit once they have cashed out a $5 AGC. Since most of her referrals had the same address she should not have gotten it according to the rules. (Don't get me wrong, I am VERY glad that she DID get it!) It sounds to me like the computer program on that one is all messed up!

Thank you for this info! :thumb: That is what I came here to check because I just had two cards clear and if it was still messing up I was going to wait.

mpillow 12/09/11 08:43 PM

I was reading back when swagbucks started and the point system was different...50 points used to equal $5 if I'm not mistaken??? maybe the system was not updated? just guessing...I hope you get it worked out!

I'm at 458 for the day 110 for the team today....doing swagtv
DD has gotten a 26 and a 39 on search this week!

mpillow 12/09/11 09:06 PM

another thought just occured to me...I recall "you must confirm your email" screen prior to ordering first AGC for my kids....is it maybe because they(referrals) did not complete email confirmation when they signed up?...and you have to confirm in order to get AGC that triggered things on my acct? KWIM?

Pam6 12/09/11 09:11 PM

I went back and looked at my post on the old thread and I had 75 referrals on November 9th. I am now up to 89 referrals. That is 14 referrals!! I am sure that at least 5 of them had to of gotten to the 50 swagbucks mark by the end of November. I think I need to send a message in and inquire! I have had 6,582 referral bucks since October 5th.

mpillow 12/09/11 09:21 PM

and you might post to your blog and here to confirm the email they got when they signed up if they have not earned gift cards to date

phenomenal numbers BTW! for referrals!

Pam6 12/09/11 09:21 PM

I just sent off an inquiry:
I was looking at the 5, 50, 500 promotion and I have had 14 referrals sign up under my account since November 9th. I have earned over 6,000 swagbucks from matching referral searches since the beginning of October. It seems to me that the odds that at least 5 of the referrals have not earned 50 swagbucks is pretty slim. I have not received the 500 bonus bucks for this promotions. Could someone please look into this for me, please?

Hopefully I will get a response but I am guessing I will not get a response until Monday at the earliest.

mpillow 12/10/11 09:27 PM

anyone else having a slow day? stingy with search points...or what? my kids have gotten 26 and thats it!

hope you all did the 19 point phone offer under paymentwall....my kids did it in my facebook and they all got credit...immediately

Pam6 12/11/11 08:46 PM

:doh: I went and did it...I went to Best Buy today and actually fondled the Kindle Fire and the Thrive! WAHHHHH!!!! I want the Thrive BADDDDD!!! At least my mind is made up now! GAH!! $115 more to go!! I better get swaggin'!!

pamda 12/11/11 09:44 PM

Pam6, when I get the I gotta have its on Amazon, I find good used text books in thrift stores, and sell them to Amazon. They add the amount to my account and it adds up. You really don't make alot per book, but it all helps. I have some language books on my desk I paid fifty cents each for that I will make about 25.00 in Amazon credits for. Got to get busy and get them mailed.

Can you explain how that works? How do you know how much you will get out of each book? How much is the shipping and handling to send them to Amazon?

pamda 12/11/11 11:57 PM

There is a page on Amazon, under your account to sell things on Amazon, you put the ISBN number in there and they tell you how much they will pay,if anything. They are picky..no marks, no old library book, etc. No missing dust covers...etc. They will take some with light highlight marks. Covers need to be clean. They give you a shipping label to tape to the box,so they pay and if they refuse the book after it gets there they will return it at their cost.


They like sewing books, garden books, and so forth. They have to be newish editions though. I sold some books I bought from them after 2 or 3 years. Did not get anyplace close to what I paid but they aren't laying around getting dusty.

pamda 12/12/11 12:01 AM

I got all but one of the 5.00 agcs today and have finally got to almost 50.00 in my account. Yaaaa me..lol

Seeria 12/12/11 10:46 AM

Finally got CRS to fix whatever was wrong so now I can do the trusted surveys. Darn page errors.
Working on getting a few more Amazon cards so I can pick up homestead supplies. :dance:

Pretty sure we signed up under you, Pam, and I did just send a $5 amazon code over to amazon, went through fine. Maybe see if that gives credit to you now?

Thanks! I have an email into inquire, but I think it will not credit on its own until the end of the month. Hopefully I will get credit soon!

mpillow 12/12/11 07:10 PM

Pam6 12/13/11 10:43 AM

I am going to order the Thrive today!! The grandparents sent us some money for Christmas and I am going to use some of it! I can't wait to get it!!

jamala 12/13/11 03:58 PM

Just heard back on,my 5,50,50 ticket and even though I had proof I qualified they will not give it to me or explain why.

Bummer! My email back said I must not have fully understood and that IF I did qualify it would only credit at the end of the month.

Seeria 12/13/11 06:49 PM

Anyone else find the trusted surveys a bit fishy? I spend 10 or 20 minutes doing one only to suddenly be disqualified, and get nothing. I've given them detailed info on me, answered a bunch of their questions and bam, sorry, try again some other day. AND the ones with emails requested keep spamming me. O.O With e-rewards program surveys that do that are removed because it is considered abuse of their users.
So is this normal? Should I be reporting these companies?

mpillow 12/13/11 06:49 PM

none of the offers or surveys have credited for me today....so frustrating!

anyone do superpoints or similar with decent payout?

pamda 12/13/11 08:18 PM

I do superpoints but they really aren't that good. I can't get anyone to sign up as a referal so that doesn't help. I do iRazo and it does pay ok. Works kind of like swag.
I sent for my 5th 5.00 amazon card today...and bought a cd and some stuff for the coop and a case of dog food in cans for Earl with what I had. I have a hard time picking what to get some days.

jamala 12/13/11 08:25 PM

Well I finally got swag tv mobile to work on my phone and it will allow you to get 50 rounds so 100 swagbucks per day. So in 5 days I will make up those points they will not let me have for doing their 5, 50, 500 referrals thing.

Pelenaka 12/13/11 09:21 PM

Sorry to hear about the issues you all are having collecting on the referral bonus program.

Last week I had a really great swag day with a total of 604 sb in all. Actually qualified for 3 surveys. I think the neighbor's heard me scream when I was awarded the sb for the final one.
Problem now is that even when I have a good day of 250 + swagbucks nothing can compare to that rush of winning on that day.

Well, get signed up (if you haven't already) and start earning!! Seeing the money add up in the Amazon account or watching the UPS bring a new goodie or getting a load of goodies from the store with an egift card is addicting!
If you have any questions or need any help feel free to ask! :happy:

Pam6 12/13/11 10:37 PM

Oh yeah....and GO TEAM Let it Swag!!! :banana:

pamda 12/13/11 11:39 PM

I think the ups guy hates me. lol. My dughter used her gift card to buy 40 lbs of cat litter last week. No shipping because it's on a every month subscription.

giraffe_baby 12/14/11 06:30 AM

Ive kinda been slipping on the swag... but hoping once i get my new phone in Jan i can do most of it "MOBILE!!" I still have gotten 2 cards for this month which is good considering how busy ive been!

mpillow 12/14/11 03:37 PM

there's a quick 2 min auto ins. quote for 137 swags that worked quick and easy (follow the directions at offer) under super rewards
