Went to get the $10 Starbucks gift card for $5 on Groupon, nice little bonus was realizing my Snapsaves balance had transferred over so I didn`t pay for the gift card

What is everyone's trick with swagbucks and ipso I say? I do work full time and can't really be on either at the office but what's the trick? I spent 10 minutes watching videos today and got a mere 3 SB.

Isay almost never qualifies me for a survey do I gave up on it a while ago.

I'm the same. I really put effort into swag bucks the second time around spent hours doing surveys just to get almos done and disqualified! I finally started feeling very ripped off and they were getting a lot of information from me for nothing so stopped. Not worth it.

I had some hotel points doing nothing and realized I could turn them into a 50.00 Starbucks card, so happy with that. I also used 180.00 of PC points in July. It's a great way to keep the grocery budget in check.

Swagbucks - I don't go on it much, do some searches - don't ever get high amounts, and lots of time nothing, lots of surveys - takes a lot of time, but I keep at it til I can get some amazon money maybe every three months.

Ipso - can't even remember if I ever cashed in before - I had just finally gotten that high to redeem.

So, yeah, no tricks from me.

Swagbucks - I usually just let videos run in one tab, while I do my other online activities in another. I have my homepage set to do a swagbucks search everytime my computer opens. I also use Swagbucks over Ebates for cashback shopping as the percentage is usually a bit higher. Then I just do daily poll and NOSO each day. Sometimes a survey if it's under 10 minutes.

Iposis - I've been pretty lucky with qualifying with them often. Even if you don't qualify, you get 5 points, which can add up. I've also been with them for years, so maybe they've gotten to know me? lol

The videos don't run sequentially though...they are on repeat so you have to manually switch them.

I have swagbucks as my homepage but never get points

Any other suggestions? Been on for over a month and still only at 113 pts

They run through each series sequentially, but you do have to switch them after each block (of 5, 6, 10, 12, 20 videos, etc.) You can also switch videos after a couple of seconds (watch for the video number to change to a check mark) to get through faster. They really just want you to get through the ad so they get paid.

Do you have search results as your homepage, or just swagbucks? Needs to be your search results, here's a video on how to change your defaults - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3jwYVLYYzk

You can also get alerts from sc-s.com whenever a new swagcode is released.

Also check out the peanut labs surveys. I find I qualify for more of those than the gold ones and you also get 1 sb if you get disqualified.

You can also print your smartsource coupons from swagbucks and get 1sb for each coupon redeemed.

Typically each week there is a different contest of some sort that you can earn bonus points with.

You can also download the swagbucks video and tv apps and earn for watching videos. These videos typically stream seamlessly, but everyone once and a while you get an add that you have to close a window on.

Unfortunately, it's not a totally passive program.

Good luck
