Those using swagbucks ???

A new Pura D'or deal is posted. Have to buy the hair loss shampoo or conditioner at Target. I did in store pick up and with redcard discount and S&S, my total was $16.xx. SB gives back 2,000. Not a huge deal, but free money and free conditioner. I will post once my SB credits. I think the details said it could be 60 days.

Videos are not a big earner for me (and most people I think). I can leave it running while I leave the house and only have 15 SB. Better than nothing, but not anything huge. I never run it at night, b/c the low payout is not worth it and when it runs, it can/will freeze up sometimes. Now back when the ncraves would run all night, those were the days!

My nCraves stopped running on auto and are just a pain in the neck to baby sit I only make like 40 SB from Watch on a good day but can allegedly get up to 500SB.

I use swag bucks pretty frequently but have never got how you get many sb from watching videos. Do you just leave you laptop on and let it play all night?

I run Ncraves at work, they have to be restarted about every 10 minutes.
When the good ncraves come back, you will be able to run them all night.

My Lifestyles app *android* has been running crazy good today. Tons of bonus rounds and they been super short, 7-10 video, rounds.

If they come back. They were new last year and no one knows for sure they'll come back .Would love if they do buy I'm not counting on it even with the tv one coming and going a tiny bit.

no ncraves all day Not sure how I'm going to make my goal...

 

[ah10is]

I haven't been able to get the discovery mode on my ncraves since the 1st of the year! Anyone have any tricks to get it back? I cleared cookies, tried different browsers....no luck what so ever.

Getting a survey today was like pulling teeth. Much worse than the previous days.

So the coupon prints must have started by Tuesday at least as I didn't see the offer but went straight to the Shop>Grocery Coupons page and printed 9 coupons I needed. I just got credit today for those 9. I printed the full 20 yesterday so hopefully I get those tomorrow. That will help a bit with the goals.

Can I ask a somewhat dumb question? I saw that a lot of Disboard Budgeters were using Swagbucks, so I signed up. It turns out that they don't offer Disney GCs, which is what I assumed y'all were redeeming your SBs for. What GC do you redeem, and how does that translate to saving for Disney?

I'm guessing I'll go for Amazon GCs, but I honestly don't shop on Amazon for day to day items (mostly splurges, which I'm trying not to do).

I have a whopping 1k SBs, so I've got PLENTY of time to figure this out.

Some cash out for PayPal and put that money towards Disney. Some cash out for Walmart/Sam's Club/Target and buy Disney GCs from those retailers.

PayPal is cash in your pocket, and buying at Sam's Club/Target gets you a small discount off the face value of the card to begin with.

My wife does PayPal which we put towards our DVC dues, and I do Walmart/Sam's Club and buy Disney GCs for our trip.

Target and Best Buy gift cards can be used in store to buy disney gift cards.

Walmart gift cards can be used at walmart or sam's club to buy disney gift cards (disney gift cards at sam's club are discounted)

I go with Target or Best Buy usually.

I get a Walmart card (the first $25 card is discounted), then I get Paypal. I take the WM card and get Disney cards in store. You can also redeem for flights (we use Southwest and they have those cards), Landrys cards can be used at Yak & yeti in AK or at RFC and TRex.

I am in Canada so my option are a little more limited. Initially I cashed out directly to PayPal. I get better return on my SB’s by using them for Amazon.ca (Canadian version) gift cards though. I get a $25 gift card for $20 in SB’s. We are taking a big camping trip this summer and I needed pretty much everything so I bought a lot of our gear on Amazon with Swagbucks. Like you, I don’t use Amazon very much normally. I will use Amazon quite a bit at Christmas though, especially since I can use the discounted gift cards to pay, and I shop through a portal that gives me bonus miles for another program.

Today under Peanut Labs I had an offer for 13 Swagbucks for clicking on a link about New Zealand. It required nothing more than that click and posted instantly.

I've been cashing out for Best Buy because you can do the 500 point bonus for in store shopping even though I am using gift cards to pay for the disney gift card.

Swagbucks is still giving the 500 point bonus and they have double shopping points so it's an extra 100 swagbucks on top of the bonus for the $50 gift card that I'm not even paying for out of pocket.

There's a few options available so hopefully at least 1 or 2 work out for you.

Easiest is PayPal, straight cash. But if you're willing to work a little more you can make your SB go a little further.

If you do PP then you can use your CC that earns cashback or points or discounts to buy the Disney GC and reimburse yourself.

Each month the first $25 GC you redeem for is discounted from 2500sb to 2200sb. This does not apply to PayPal. So most folks cash out for Target, WalMart or Best Buy where you can use a GC to buy another GC.

Take that another step further and if you have a Sam's Club membership (or know someone who does) you can get discounted Disney GC's there and use the WM GC's to pay for them. Best Buy also participates in Swagbucks and Shopkick rewards programs. So you scan your QR code at best buy and get additional rewards off the free GC's you're buying. Swagbucks has a promo at the moment with Best Buy where in store purchases of $50 or more get a 500sb bonus on top of the % back (currently I think it's 2%).
Spend 4400 sb to get $50 in BB GC's, buy a $50 Disney GC with them and scan the QR code, get back 600sb to work on the next redemption (4700 if you don't want to wait 2 months to cash in)

If you haven't already, following along with the Disney Gift Card thread in addition to this one helps figure out how to maximize the savings. And you'd know that not all BB, WM, Target are easy conversions. While the corporate policies might be acceptable to buy GC>GC some individual stores block it. So if you haven't tried before I'd start small and make sure your store allows it before you get stuck with a bunch of GC's you can't use on something else.

ETA: Wow I have to think and type faster, I think everyone made all the same points while I was still typing! Great group

I've been on Swagbucks for a couple months and haven't even thought of half of this. Teach me your ways!

Poo, I still don't have this

I did get a 9sb in Radium One for Alaska travel guide but you had to give your mailing address. (I did because I actually wanted the travel guide)
