Snowflakes Year To Date

September 5th, 2013 at 02:53 pm

Swagbucks graciously credited my account, and other users, with my monthly bonus Swagbucks yesterday. A day early. As a result, I was able to redeem 2500 Swagbucks for another $25 PayPal cash deposit. I will count this as a September snowflake once I have it in my account.

Not sure if you noticed my side bars with my snowflake earnings for the year, but combined I have saved $2,113.13 since January 1. Average monthly earnings/savings of $264.14. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I really wish everyone understood and used this concept to either save for a goal, or to make a small dent (which leads to a big dent) in paying off debt. It doesn't take much effort at all and really pays off. And I don't mean just Swagbucks, any little bit of cash that comes your way is a snowflake. There's that birthday money, the refund for something you returned, a rebate, a coupon used, or the interest you earned. These, and many more, can accumulate to big chucks of money toward your goal.

At the rate I have been going, I should be able to come up with another $1000+ before the end of the year. I like that idea! Anyone have a snowflake goal for the remainder of the year? Anyone one to start today accumulating snowflakes? I'll cheer you on!

    Awesome!

    I was just lamenting on no mortgage progress aside from snowflakes, but the snowflakes might be $1k-$2k for us this year. Certainly no small beans. Wink I am definitely grateful for the forward progress we get from our snowflakes.

    I really want to be good at Swagbucks...but I just can't figure it out. I even logged back in to try it today. I got 8 points. I watched 3 episodes on Swag TV, played 3 different games, tried to do 2 surveys, and did the daily poll. 8 points.... I only have 152 total points. I am always AMAZED by how great yall do on Swagbucks.

    @rachel, Surveys are the best but if you keep getting disqualified they are annoying! Did you see
    Text is my post about how to earn on Swagbucks and Link is http://creditcardfree.savingadvice.com/2013/05/27/swagbucks-earnings_102809/
    my post about how to earn on Swagbucks that I wrote in May? Things have changed a little since that post. I would also include that you need to look at the Encrave offers. You can find these by going to the Discover tab at the top of the home page. Pick Activities from that tab and start clicking on offers.

    Good luck!

    Brilliant! I've said it before, you're an inspiration. It's been almost a month since I've added snowflakes but I'm going to get back into the habit.
