    I didn't make my goal last night. When I wrote that, I needed 54 pts. I've tried those surveys before, but they're too time consuming for the small amount of points.

    I doubt I'll make goal this weekend either. It's not only a weekend, but the end of the month. Surveys seem to disappear at those times.

    Glad you got those 65 pts for the Watch activities, but that's also a ridiculous amount of time for just 65 pts! 8 hours! Jeez!!
    Glad you didn't sit there watching them! lol




    ETA: Since I didn't make goal last night, my goal today is down to 82

    Yesterday I finally got something on my Shopping List to turn in for the Magic Receipt and fill that center block on the Bingo Board. Had to fight for it though -- I got the "under review" bs when I submitted it. I turned right around and submitted a ticket telling them it was bs -- I had even marked the item on my receipt so they could find it! And if I waited their "up to 10 days" the Bingo would be over and I. Wanted. That. Block. Got credited shortly after.

    Everything is two-steps: complete the task, put in a ticket.

    So, today was easy -- turned in my Bingo card and immediately made my daily goal. Clicked a few things on the To-Do list and got 5 out of the 9 and was happy with that.

    I hate to sound like a broken record but I take frequent breaks from this stuff in order to keep my daily goal low. As I read this thread every day I see several of you are working way too hard for the pennies. And now they want to make them 1/2 pennies??!! I won't be on this site very often if that's the case.

    I'm working towards a MAJOR renovation in my house, so I'm trying to get as many Lowe's gift cards as I can. The less I pay out of pocket, the better! Yes, it's a LOT of ridiculous hard work, but once I'm done, it will be worth it. However, if they up the amount of points needed for gc's, I may have to find another site to go to.

    Glad you got the points for the receipt. They need to update their system. I constantly get the 'under review' response too. Even if it's the only item on the receipt, I get that response.

    As I do not have a job (and therefore, no income), I have time to spend doing stuff like this. I get Walmart gcs so that I don't have to spend the extra money that I don't have. It doesn't really take me that long to do this stuff on a computer. If I had to do it on my phone, I wouldn't.

    I have made my goal every day for months and today my goal is also down to 82. Mine was 90 something yesterday and, I think, the day before, same as whatever others listed and the highest it has been recently is 111, on the same day as someone else mentioned the same number. So I am not convince that our goals are unique to us.

    Well, I made my goal on Mypoints, but didn't make it on Swagbucks.
    Both of my daily goals went down to 82.
    I am also amassing points on here, Swagbucks & Treasuretrooper to get GC's for some home improvement projects
    I have $450 for Visa GCs on Treasuretrooper, I cashed out for $15 paypal in Swagbucks, just for the .25 discount from the contest & took $50 paypal from MyPoints this month. I use the paypal for savings & to pay off debt.
    Once I get at least $130 in paypal, I take out enough to leave $30 in the paypal account & put 2/3 towards debt & 1/3 towards savings.
    Right now, I've been focusing on our mortgage. An extra $50 takes $200 off my final payment. Since doing this, I've taken an additional 5 months off of my mortgage.

    I know this is not a lot, but we are planning early retirement next summer, and getting rid of our bills will go a looooong way

    No, they're not. The past couple days several of us have all had the same daily goal.

    I did make mine today. I was shocked to get a survey completed this morning!

    I uploaded a Hallmark receipt awhile ago, and got the usual "Under Review" response. Hopefully this one won't take 2 1/2 months like the last one did!

    I would take the regular lotto at this point. We could retire & no one would know we won
