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.

@AbbyGreenhill oh nice, well that is easy, I search for things all of the time, and have problem searching for other random things.

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.

@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.

I never do the tasks. I guess it is different in different places.

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

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.

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.

I do it for the earnings, it is not social for me at all. I like the earnings.

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.

I am banking them for gift shopping. Hubby likes books and I get stuff for the grands there as well.

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.
