Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards or extra money! II

rabbitgeek · #**941** 05/26/12, 01:25 PM

Did a survey for Royal Carribean and 250 points promised. Just as I finished there is a window that says "connection lost" which is bogus because all the other tabs on my browser were active.

I feel like I was defrauded out of an hour of my life.

I did get 140 the day before.

grumble.
Have a joyful day!

Rabbitgeek, I think that is a scam that some of the survey companies do to cheat you out of your time and points (money)! I have seen it so many times! Some companies just outright don't pay without the timeout thing. I know a lot of the people on facebook post about getting burned on them. Thankfully it has only happened once or twice to me. Usually I just get dq'd! Sometimes you can back in your history and find it and if it lets you back in take a screen shot and then turn it in and try to get credit.

Pam, did I read correctly, midnight shift Sunday, day shift Monday? Yikes!
I hated shift work. I never felt rested, even with days off. When I could get set schedules for a few wks (even overnights), I functioned much better!

My swagmobile has pretty much stopped working since the update,
I've gotten 2 SB.

EDIT: He got the mower fixed! So SB can go to bills as planned.

Pam6 · #**944** 05/26/12, 07:33 PM

Yep! You read correctly!
10pm-6am tonight. (then I am going to TRY to get up and go to church on only an hour of and a half of sleep.)
8pm-4am tomorrow night
12pm-8pm Monday

That is not near as bad as when I worked a couple weeks ago....6pm-6am back at work at 12 noon-8pm. I got three hours of sleep in between!

My mom started at noon today and is working all of the opposite hours of me.
It is GOOD money to sit and crochet or read a book or talk on the phone so I can not pass it up! If there were internet access I would have put a mattress in the back of my van and just slept at work last time but, I wanted to come home and update my blog.

I laid down for 5 hours today...just laid there and did not sleep. I am up 177 SB for today! Way better than I thought I would do today!

Wow. Too bad there isn't internet there, I'm sure you could rack up on SB!

Still haven't gotten the Dunk Tank collector bill.

Pam6 · #**946** 05/28/12, 09:57 AM

No dunk tank here either. Yeah, I would be loading up on swagtv and trying surveys if I had internet at work!

Off to get a HOT shower...hopefully! Then back to work!
The hot water tank has not worked AT ALL for a few weeks and I finally gave DH the "I will not be fit to live with until I have hot water" speech and he went out and got parts yesterday while I was sleeping and fixed it after I went to work last night. The top element completely fell apart when he touched it! He replaced both elements and the thermostats.
I ended up with 187 swagbucks yesterday despite the fact that I was sleeping, working, or at church yesterday!

Happy Memorial Day! Happy Swagging!

its interesting....all winter I was a swagaholic....my family complained....well I was home on free wifi...now I go to library a couple times a day (less than 1 mile away).....2 days in a row after animal chores and house keeping...DH says "are u going to library soon?" because 1) he has lots of info. for unemployment to do online 2) money is tight and he knows amazon will be the boy's college texts...2 days in a row he has come down to the library to inquire on what I have done online and what or where to do something in the garden....
I sure wish he'd be a better decision maker and go getter...it cuts into my swagging time! but at least he is more accepting of it these days....He and DD16 went shopping for food and a skirt (DD has an interview) yesterday and spent nothing out of pocket...jcpenney and kmart gc's.....

**Terri** · #**948** 05/28/12, 03:24 PM

I haven't gotten the dunk tank either.

The last few mornings I got the special ticket as soon as I got the first search points of the day, but I earned search points twice this morning and did not get it.

I don't think they will give out many dunk tank tickets!

keno12 · #**949** 05/28/12, 04:31 PM

I don't think so either Terri!

Pam, something similar happened to our water heater not long ago. It just so happened that I NEEDED a shower (was going into town for something important, couldn't be that important as i cant remember what it was for), and since I'm at home, I'm usually just in old scrub bottoms, tshirt, and i shower whenever, bc its not like I have a strict schedule.
He took some parts into work and it was fixed the next day. Glad yours was fixed in a timely manner.

mpillow, funny how that stuff works, right? You are lucky the library is so close! I would love that...but then would get nothing done bc I would read all day. Am impressed your daughter went shopping and didn't spend any $. SB is great! Good luck to her on her interview.

WOOT! I just got the Dunk Tank! Completed the collection! Whew!

nightfire · #**952** 05/29/12, 03:46 PM

15 point swagbucks code is out now

Pam6 · #**953** 05/29/12, 03:54 PM

Thanks for the heads up on the code!

I just got an 85 point offer on PL to credit! 5 minute wait time! It was the top one on mine about staying awake. I had to put in my email address and name and address....I always use my maiden name and the address that goes with it.

**Terri** · #**954** 05/29/12, 04:58 PM

The swag code confuses me!

It asks for the first word, but the first word is a number!

Do I enter the first true word, the number, or do I try to spell out the first number???

Also, sigh, can I try more than once???

nightfire · #**955** 05/29/12, 05:10 PM

you can try guessing until the code is expired. not sure if it is now or not, but try re-reading the hint, if your still confused you can pm me

it took me reading the hint a few times to get the right code word

**Terri** · #**956** 05/29/12, 05:31 PM

OH! That was for the INTERNATIONAL people! No wonder!

Well, I did get the one for the Americans, and so I am good!

nightfire · #**957** 05/29/12, 05:53 PM

nice! I'm glad to hear that you got the right code

Pam6 · #**958** 05/29/12, 06:06 PM

Oh good! I am glad you were able to get it Terri!

I got another dunk tank today! I sure like getting the bigger amounts for searches!

mpillow · #**959** 05/30/12, 11:07 AM

Yep! I just discovered that a little while ago! Mobile is taking FOREVER now! I really miss when it was 'easy money'!!
I am getting ad after ad with no videos in between too so the meter is not advancing!
