I have been plugging along still, made the daily goal every day in July and made the bonus goal maybe half of the days. So far this year I have redeemed $450 in Amazon GC which will go toward Christmas shopping. I have enough SB to redeem for 5 x $5 Amazon GC's right away this month. August won't be as good a month for me since I will be gone for about 5 days and don't plan on Swagbucking during that time. Although, I do have a bunch of Shop and Earn points that will be coming due during the time I am gone, so that will help with the daily goal. Who knows? With the way Shop and Earn points credit early sometimes I might just make my daily goals each day while I am gone. I did a lot of online shopping when we were giving our bathroom a makeover and also for getting things DD needs for college. I love using the in store pick up at Home Depot and Target to get easy points.
So how are others doing with Swagbucks? |

That's really awesome! I don't know why I never got into the SB thing. I really should. It would be great to be able to cover a portion of Christmas that way.

I toughed it out and made goal throughout July even on our vacation days..... ugh. Ended up doing "free trials" that I had to call and cancel on the days I didn't have much time/internet.
I depend on my $50-$75 a month from SB. It's a job.

My taking May off turned into May, June and July. I made it a week into July before I forgot.
Going to start again now that it is August.

Only good for laundering points, not worth the time.

It works for me though and gives me some money that I wouldn't otherwise have. I can run some of the video stuff while I am doing other things and I like to do surveys while I am watching tv. I have a really hard time just sitting watching tv, so I do Swagbucks then too. |

MessyT maybe you can use some of your Amazon $$ for school books for your daughter going to college? That's part of my plan.... cheaper than the bookstore for the most part.

Have you heard anything about what books your DS needs this fall? When does he leave?
I feel like, back in my day I knew what books I needed well in advance. I suppose there is somewhere we should be finding out this stuff, but I don't know where.

There is a link at the university portal that he can login to that tells him all of the required books, and it also offers the price at the student bookstore and at other sites, comparing them.
I have not actually seen it but he sent me a list and estimate of about how much it's going to cost.
Does she have school login to see tuition bills, etc.? If it were going to be somewhere, I think that's where it'd be?

That's nice that your DS's school shows the comparison prices, let's hope my DD's does the same.
