I Don't Know What I Did

I am a member of a reward site called Swag Bucks. I have different daily goals each day. I usually meet those goals by maybe taking a survey, or reading material, or entering codes, etc. I went to a site to read about arthritis, and I was supposed to get 75 points. I downloaded a nutritional guide and I got 135 points. Well in excess of today's goal. I will not argue. It takes the pressure off. In Swagbucks each point is worth about one cent. Then when you meet your goals you get extra points. I wonder if that is what happened? I may have hit some milestone and been given extra points. I have cashed out once this month for a 25 dollar Amazon card. I may cash out for $20 paypal this week and then another $25 Amazon at the first of the month. We shall see. So, that is a pleasant surprise. I know there are other places to earn in similar fashion, but I do not think I am mentally organized enough to do that. I know myLot pays, and it is fun to earn here. I know SwagBucks pays, and it is not too bad. I try to get in to Bubblews and get error messages, otherwise I would still be earning there in hopes of the site turning around. If I could earn as well everywhere else as I do on myLot and SwagBucks I would not even consider a job. I guess it is time to start my day. I will get a walk in early, and a good breakfast as well. I have had one cup of coffee, and I am ready for more. Good morning to my myLot friends.

I have been on again and off again there. Suddenly this year I started getting really good rewards for my searches and they got me hooked. I used to be lucky to get 200 points per year. I put most of my funds in Amazon, then when I want to shop for someone far away I can just have Amazon mail it.

It is really good for a lot of people. I play videos of stuff most of the day. Sometimes I do signups or surveys. Mostly I just have my search engine defaulted and get points there.

I checked that out a while ago, I think it is only for people living in the USA.

@GardenGerty I do a lot of searching so that would work great for me.

For the first couple weeks I was trying to hit the daily goal everyday. The more often you hit it, the higher it goes and I get busy so I couldn't do more than 2 weeks straight. But I got my $25 Amazon card early in the month, got a $5 Amazon card yesterday, and am all set to get another $25 card on the first. I'm going to shoot for getting some Paypal money from there every month too to help with my debts.

@purplealabaster Some days I just don't have the time, and when I was trying to hit it everyday I would end up staying up too late to try to hit it. I don't need that much pressure on myself.

@katsmeow1213 I completely understand. There have been a couple times when I have stayed up too late, because I was so close to making it and almost at the end of the month, so I didn't want to break my streak.

If you can hit the daily goal every day, even if it is only the low goal, then you earn a lot better. I try to hit the high goal, although I do not always make it, and I have earned $10 - $12 bonus in one month doing that.

Swag is more like work for me, but since I do not have a job, it is okay. Here is more fun.

@Susan2015 Is that so? There are so many online survey sites. So far I have not tried one.

I've had more trouble with myLot than Bubblews, but I earn more here than there... I did start a few discussions these last few days - amazingly enough!

I read a lot of good things about Swagbucks and I would have probably joined it, but it is sadly not yet available for my country. Bubblews usually does not work when I want to login.

I used to not do much with it, but the last two months it seems to have become worth my while.

Hmmm, this is interesting! I guess I should read more about Swag Bucks . . . and possibly join.

I know that SB is Canada and I think it is in the UK. @NeldaHoxie I agree. I have a friend who surfs traffic exchanges and does bunches of them. Not for me.

I wouldn't enjoy a site with set tasks. I must be free to decide if I want to write something or not.

These tasks are looking at websites, and watching movies, filling out surveys. Not nearly so much fun as here.

@GardenGerty The problem with surveys is often that you start doing them and after a while are told that you aren't the person they're looking for.

Swag Bucks never captured my attention. I like to write during my "down time." It sounds like they have all sorts of different hoops to jump through there.

I don't do swagbucks as much as I should, because it is easy to make extra money there. Still, without doing anything but searching, I find the bucks creeping up to redeemable levels. Well worth the time spent there.

Just the last month or two I have gotten more "into" it but still do not do all my friend does. My goal is to make enough money that it covers the cost of internet, and I have done that this month.

Congratulations. I love Swagbucks, and I also hate it. I earn great, especially compared to other sites. However, I keep getting error messages and activities not completing or crediting, and it is getting extremely frustrating. If I add up all the activities that do not complete in a day, then lately I would be earning at least $1 more per day.

You should. I often have Christmas lists from my daughter and I am able to buy gifts and have them shipped, and she wraps them. She always wants books and educational toys.
