Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards or extra money! II

Impressive mpillow!

Pam, do the games pay a max 10SB per day? I got maybe 3 yesterday, didn't know how many they maxed out at.

Convinced my SO to sign up. We live together, but our addresses are different (complicated). Will this be a SB problem? He easily got around 90 pts yesterday, yet grumbled that he 'doesn't have time to do this stuff.' (He works outside the home, in an industry that gets very busy this time of year...leaves me to care for the house and animals!

) He was happy to hear that Paypal GCs were options. I think that was the thing that hooked him.

My SB goal is set at 130 today. Off to do some work! Do any of you save things for the next day, when your goal will be higher? Thanks for the encouragement. I'm having more fun doing this now, and you ladies are making it enjoyable!

Pam6 · #**622** 04/13/12, 07:48 AM

Yes, 10 SB. 2SB for every 2 games up to 10 per day.

Just make sure you are using different computers and not logging in and out one after another and you should be fine.
There is nothing to save for the next day. Surveys fill up and you DQ'd if they are old. Games, NOSO, Daily Poll, swagtv is all new every day. Special offers change everyday. If you see it do it, don't save anything for the next day.

Thanks Pam! Am only at 18, but I completed the Trusted Survey, so am waiting for that to credit...should be 60? Have SBTV running too.

Figured out a way to rig my phone to my laptop.

Connection isn't fast at all, but it beats driving 25+ miles to the nearest wifi spot! It will do until the boy and I figure out a more permanent internet situation.

I'm having a pitiful day but yesterday was over 700 so its to be expected!

keno12 · #**625** 04/13/12, 06:05 PM

Over 700??!!!!!!!??

HOW?? Again, am amazed. That's just....awesome. I'm thinking of how much I could contribute to my 2 person, multiple dog (right now it's 6...we've got a lot of fosters!) household with that much.

I finished the day at 177. I'll take it.

mpillow · #**626** 04/13/12, 06:17 PM

SURVEYS! was what i made points with yesterday...today a mishmosh....1 survey, sbtvmobile, points from nightfire searching -my searching- swagtv- a few vids on the diff offer boards....tasks for 28 (casinos) just went over 250...

(((finished the state taxes today! glad that is over! got the financial statement from son's college....still need about 12 grand of the 33grand a year tuition! He's going to visit tomorrow to see about ROTC Marine corp or Naval officer reserves(helps offset costs)....EXPENSIVE! He was puking from his shots yesterday....to be expected according to doc.))) just so you all know I have a life outside of swag etc. ! LOL

keno12 · #**627** 04/14/12, 10:02 AM

Are these the surveys on the 'my dashboard' or the ones from 'peanut lab,' etc? I'm wary of the latter bc of pop-ups, spam, etc, so I rarely do those.

Aiming for 200 today.

College is expensive! I went about 10 years ago and I'm looking at taking some more specialized nursing classes, but school is EXPEN$ive! Has your son looked into scholarships at all? They helped me a lot. I applied for a TON. Even the small ones...they add up!

Sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday. Hope you feel better today!

mpillow · #**628** 04/14/12, 12:49 PM

He did get the Presidential Achievement Scholarship from MMA for marine engineering technology but its only half of the tuition....not all the other stuff....the school is more of a military academy than college (wears uniforms and can but not required to be a reservist and graduate with an officer commission)....He'll make 6 figures after 4 years so he will have the means to pay back loans and he is trying for other scholarships. He got full Pell grant and Stafford loans and work study....our income is low and non existent due to recent layoff! Hence the need to do swagbucks everyday!
Hoping he has fun at the open house today and figures out which military branch he wants.....my 16 yo daughter went along too....and my older sister....and the weather is perfect today!

keno12 · #**629** 04/15/12, 07:09 AM

Yesterday was pathetic. 99 Pathetic, as I was aiming for 200, and was certain I could get it.
Oh well.
We did have to go into town and help the boys parents with their planter boxes. They live in the city and have a tiny townhouse sized backyard. They grow some good peppers and tomatoes with the space they have though! Off to do work on our garden today.
Have a good day!

mpillow · #**630** 04/15/12, 08:17 AM

gardening is more fun!
my day was barely 250 ...two referrals had big search wins for total of 50!
my son said he would be needing the amazon acct money for books....I told him to get to work on his own acct! LOL

keno12 · #**631** 04/15/12, 09:20 AM

Swagging is more fun. I'm ridiculously allergic to (jokingly, the outdoors) pollen, trees, mold, grass, etc. Most days I can hit my nebulizer and swallow a cocktail of allergy pills and be ok for a few hours. Today, despite the meds, was not one of those days. I showered off the allergens and I'm in the office doing what I can to earn SB. Sucks too, bc we are planting some more today, and I love planting. I love our garden. Nothing better than fresh vegetables.
Did you give your son my referral link for his account?

Aside from my SO, everyone I talk to thinks this is a scam (despite me showing them my numerous Amazon GCs, Paypal, etc, showing them the site), they say they don't 'have time,' for it, yet they sit on FB and Twitter and Pinterest for hours and hours. /rant.

mpillow · #**632** 04/15/12, 10:06 AM

I'm hoping he can get some referrals at school!

I have slight allergies (citrizine helps) but have you tried a mask?

I hear you about people thinking its a scam or a waste of time...same ones come wanting gas money, fresh eggs and veg when money is short.....it isn't a quick buck but it does get quicker/easier once you "get" how it works!

This is one of the great mysteries of life because as you have said I have extended family who send me countless whatyacallits from those lame fb games but won't swag. You'd think me sending the this reply "rather play games for real $" on fb would be enough,

I look @ it this way if it is like pulling teeth to get them to sign up then they probably wouldn't even give swagging a decent try.

mpillow- I ended up going outside and getting dirty with the dogs and planting some jalapeno and tomato plants for about an hour. That's about all I could take with the allergies (and the heat today, wow! Some of my meds make me intolerant of extreme temps. When it gets above a certain temp (esp w the heat index), I can't take but so much. I'm in my mid-late 20s. This is SO not the life I imagined for myself. Sigh. Most days I am content with it, though.

Back to swagging now, since I got outside some. I haven't tried a mask. I have tons from the ER (I used to work, in various capacities, as a nurse and a medic, among other things). Will try one.

Pelenaka- ahh those darn FB games! No, I don't want to help you plant your virtual garden. Or build your castle, cafe, daycare or mafia.

I've sent those replies too, (with my referral link), to no avail. I have ONE referral. I need to get more, but how?

60 pt survey credited for me today. I have 15 pts from SBTV. How many can you get in a day?

mpillow · #**635** 04/15/12, 12:31 PM

sbtv is still 150--- mobile is 50

we just had a baby boy goat born...neighbor ladies came to see

keno12 · #**636** 04/15/12, 01:39 PM

I meant to say this earlier, mpillow, about people coming to you for things. Last year we had a BUNCH of people coming to us for veggies (and it was our first year planting at this location), and then later in the summer as we made our trademark salsa and relish, everyone wanted jars for FREE.

Everything is planted!

jamala · #**637** 04/15/12, 03:03 PM

My garden is ready to start really enjoying, potatoes are ready to dig a few "newbies" for lunch and the green beans will be in this week. Turnips and other greens are just about finished.

mpillow · #**638** 04/15/12, 04:37 PM

sure... sure.... rub it in....we still have another frost to go before planting anything tender....still snow up to my parents last weekend!
It is time for peas potatoes and spinach...my kids are on school vacation so some stuff will get done!
I do have my windows open...it was 73 today...
haven't done 100 points yet on swag...outside a lot!

jamala · #**639** 04/15/12, 05:02 PM

LOL-- Its beautiful here today too so my swag and everything else is lagging also. I am almost to 3000 on irazoo so I have to figure out the agc thing on there later tonight.

keno12 · #**640** 04/15/12, 05:50 PM

I registered on irazoo today after reading how mpillow was singing praises in the irazoo thread. Have 55 pts. I'm sure I'll figure out how to work it soon. Didn't qualify for surveys, there were no videos. Plan on poking around the site more tomorrow.

SB was good. 175 thereabouts.

We weren't going to plant until next wknd, but the plants we started inside needed to be moved outside. Hopefully last week was our last frost. Our weather is weird...we had 30 degree temps some days last week, it was in the high 70s today, and is going to climb into the high 90s this week.
