distillingwater: March Swagness has come to Swagbucks - it’s...

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:00:06 -0400

March Swagness has come to Swagbucks - it’s all about you earning bonus Swag Bucks while doing all of the things you’re already doing on Swagbucks. Every day they’ll give you an earning goal, which you’ll find on their homepage. As you earn Swag Bucks throughout the day, that meter will fill up and when it’s full, you’ll have earned your bonus for the day. The bonus will always be 10% of that day’s goal.

Be sure to check in everyday, as the earning goal for any given day could be higher or lower than the day before. Your total bonus amount will continue to accumulate each day, and your bonus amount will be applied at by April 5th – this special promotion runs through April 2nd. If you hit the earning goal every single day of March Swagness, your bonus amount will be doubled!

EVERYTHING you earn on Swagbucks counts towards March Swagness – including (but limited to) Search,Surveys, Tasks, Swag Codes, Special Offers, Referral Bucks, Winning TTPTP, Hashtag and Comment hookups – if you earn it from us, it counts towards the day it was earned!

Get your March Swagness on starting tomorrow, when the goal will be 50 Swag Bucks.

I’ve been a member of Swagbucks for a couple years now, and by doing simple searches, some surveys and a few other things, I’ve earned enough Swagbucks to redeem for about $150 worth of gift cards from amazon.com. I wouldn’t make this up. Sign up and check it out for yourself.

If you don't mind me asking ...how much does Teaopia pay you hourly ?

teaopia paid minimum wage

i no longer work there

What happened to Windsor Insider website? I see you had $50 in June, but I do not see any activity on this website for a while?

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:18:24 -0400

it died

I know you do Swagbucks, but are there any other survey/points sites that you have success with? I like Ipsos, but I'm also looking for more.

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:54:26 -0400

I use Opinion Outpost and a couple others.

(there is a referral in that link. if you sign up, please use it)

did you give up on keeping track of your money?

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:25:19 -0400

I am keeping track of it in a more private manner. it’s much easier for me that way

So the sad news: I somehow didn’t pay my phone bill in April. I looked through my bank records and it didn’t happen. I paid the March bill late in the month, and the May bill early, and somehow missed the April. I was charged 1.37 or something in interest on a late payment.
Groceries consisted of tortillas, brown sugar, oatmeal, crumpets and a couple other things.

I am at $941.94

Why don't you add up your expenses and income at the end of each list?

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 13:23:03 -0400

It has never occurred to me to do it. I just take the total from the day before and add/subtract what is necessary.

16.40-Bus tickets

Income
100.00-HST
200.00-Money from Mom

I haven’t had to buy bus tickets in a while because I’ve been taking my bike a lot. I probably could have pushed buying them back a little bit more, but I didn’t want to be without in a “just in case” moment.

The gov is screwing with our taxes again, so we get $300 from them (in the income bracket I am in) in three installments. This was the first.
Mom got a refund for some stuff I’d paid for. She gave me the money.

I am at 588.99.

I am at $308.24. My credit card bill is coming soon.

Dinner was with Christine, and we were both pretty much starving after a long day.
I went out for drinks because a friend of mine is moving away today. I didn’t plan on staying long, but the rain had other ideas. I ended up staying out for most of the night.
Bills were normal. I need to start getting change, so I can pay the exact amount. I pay a teeny bit over almost every month.

I am at $312.05.

Expenses
2.30-Salad at work

Income
27.46-Refund from Bell
165.83-Made In Windsor

The salad was really good. The company changed the way salad bar prepares most of their food, so I don’t know if I’m going to get stuff from there anymore. I really need to buy veggies and bring them with me.

The refund was from a few months back when I paid and canceled my contract in the middle of the month. Happy to finally have this.
Made In Windsor is from working there, not selling.

I am at $564.06.
