Missed My Swagbucks Monthly Bonus By 15SB

I have been in a lot of pain the past couple days and last night I sat down to answer emails, pay a couple bills and rack up the last of the SB I needed for the day. When the pain level finally got to me I threw back a couple pain pills, grabbed a cold beer and plopped down on the bed. The next thing I know it's 3:36am, my cell phone is beeping and my eyes were completely dry and scratchy. It wasn't until I ambled to the bathroom that it hit me, I missed out on my dailies at Neopets and didn't get the SB I needed to reach the first goal for the day at Swagbucks. It's only a dollar difference between a 21 day streak and the whole month but it's the motivation that it took all month to hit that daily goal. That got me to thinking that if Swagbucks sold passes at the start of the year it would keep people more 'in touch' with the daily goal and push them a little further. I was thinking if they sold a 5 Pass Pack for $5.00 that you could use to complete the day it would be a nice safety cushion. You could use it if you have more than half of the needed amount for the day and you have up to 24 after the end of the day to apply the pass to your account. As a perk, if you don't use the pack you can get a full refund on it at the end of the year (and a $1.00 refund per unused pass). But that's just a suggestion but it's a suggestion that could potentially benefit everyone (unlike Swagbucks Premium / Turbo). While it still stings that I missed the monthly long bonus of 300SB, I will still get 200SB plus all the daily goals that I hit. Have you ever missed out on the bonus because of one day? Did it totally screw up your motivation at the site? Do you cash out at the minimum amount or save it up for something big?

Is Swagbucks worth it? I've been wondering about it.

I think it is, even if you are a casual user you can earn enough for A $5.00 Paypal card or other card every couple of weeks. I earn about $30.00 a month from doing about an hours worth of 'work' while I am multi tasking. If you can get a couple of referral that is a HUGE help because you get 10% of everything that they earn

@freak369 I've never done the offers thing... Hesitant to do it and haven't really found anything worth it for me. But they pay good SB. I've only gotten one referral so far but my friend is not active on there so all I earned was 4 SB for her joining and that is it.

@freak369 It took me a few months to reach $25. Would be nice to reach it every month but the problem is getting myself to be active there every day, especially with surveys, which is what I do most to earn SB.

I know that some people in Europe can't participate in some things but they should have offers just for them to make up for it.

See how this daily goal runs our lives? Believe me, I know the feeling - can't miss any days or else we won't get the bonus the following month! Yes, I have missed days - more because we were on vacation or something and I either wasn't around a computer, or didn't feel that I should be on the computer on vacation. I might feel mad or maybe even guilty for a while - but then I have to slap myself and remind myself that for that amount of money, there is no reason for me to feel like I royaly screwed something up. I can live with the fact that I'd only be missing a dollar - and then I feel better than I can truly have a no pressure rest of the month and get lazy if I need to.

What are passes? I've hit the 7 day streak once or twice since joining and I've hit daily bonuses enough times. I have to get myself to be active for a bit every day so I can reach those goals every day and achieve not only the 7 day streak but all the way to 30 day streak since the SB bonus is a good one.
