Hope everyone is having a happy Mother's Day! After taking my mom and sisters out to brunch, I decided to crack down and clean up some "loose ends" with online earnings if possible. At least for me, it seems like I get "into" a site, earn a few bucks and then just let it sit there and forget about it. After months and months of not being active, I popped on Cash Crate, a survey and GPT site and earned the $2 I needed to get a $20 check next month. It's not a lot, but my savings could sure use a boost. I also managed to sit down and break into my very old email from my Swagbucks account, which I needed to redeem a $10 Amazon gift card. I couldn't figure out my password, and I finally sat down and got into it today. Lo and behold I have 3,700 spam emails...Will have to work on that!
In a weird way I have missed survey sites and earning online, because I really only have been active on MyLot. Am I crazy? (You know the answer, duh), but I of course miss the extra money here and there for my fruitless Amazon purchases, the gift cards, and the product tests and online focus groups. Those are always fun although they seem to come more rarely than they used to. At any rate, I think I will set aside some time when I am bored and at home to get back into the survey sites. Swagbucks is one that I often hear others rave about, so I may give it a try again after years of not being active.
Do you use Swagbucks? If so, how exactly do you earn on it? I have heard about earning a little bit watching videos but have not tried it yet. Have you cashed out on any of your sites lately? Do you ever get like me and "miss" survey sites or online earning?

Swagbucks ripped me off of $160 that took me months to accumulate.

@maezee They screw new members by not approving your PayPal account. I looked it up and there have been many complaints about this.

It does seem like many members sing its praises. I used to be a member like 10 years ago , back when almost all you did was just searches for a few swagbucks here and there. I wish there were more opportunities for people living elsewhere. Are you active anywhere besides MyLot?

I used to do real live surveys. I don't any more. Good luck on your online surveys though.

I haven't been active at Swagbucks for years.. my last venture away from my normal Zazzle earnings was a phone app that my friend told me about called Field Agent.. it was easy enough to use.. and appealing because many of the jobs they give you involved going shopping at walmart.. or just looking at walmart and filling out a survey about how customer service reps interacted.. sometimes they ask you to take some pics with your cell phone.. and they can pay pretty good. I see a few jobs in there now for my area that are $10 a piece. for ordering online and picking up in store.. that's easy money!

I tend to do the same. It's more work and being busy. Such as the last 2 weeks has been uber busy working and petsitting. I am trying to get a routine down now.
