Sent my found money to my credit card this morning. I know $15 isn't a lot, but I know if I keep doing that, I will knock it out. My Ebates total is only up to $9...not the $11 I was hoping for. But still...there is another $9 I can send to the card.
I think I am about to give up on Swagbucks! I watch the Swag TV and try to do surveys and do the daily poll but I only have 144 points!!! I just don't get it. Maybe its just not meant to be. Or maybe I am not doing enough? I have never met my Daily Goal...ever. I think today it said my goal was 90! How do you get 90 points in one day????
Sent my snowflake and Swagbucks

A couple of rules.
Don't ever give them a "real" email address. Make up separate junk email accounts just to use with these offers. People call them "10 minute emails" because you use them to sign up for offers and then after the offers stop crediting with those accounts, you make up another one. I think I've been through over 20 of them in the past couple of months. I can't repeat this enough - do not use your main email. You will start receiving 100's and thousands of spam offers a day.
Don't ever give them a phone number that you are going to mind if it starts ringing off the hook with telemarketers. I use a Google Voice phone number. It is free and it just rolls into a voicemail account that I never check.
For the most part, don't sign up for any of the offers that require your credit card. That's really more my rule. I'd rather not earn the points that get my credit card number compromised.
I also avoid any of the offers that might require a Social Security number (The credit reporting agencies).

Oh, JulieA has good advice. Never give out SSN or buy an offer with a credit card, unless you use Shop and Earn...which is similar to Ebates. Oh, and print off coupons under the Coupon link...use them and get 10 SB per coupon, usually credits in 30 days.

Once in a while I qualify for surveys, and that definitely does help.
