Hello all I joined this site on August 1st with the hopes of getting a little more money every month in order to put away for an engagment ring for my beautiful girlfriend Erika. I have already saved a thousand so far in the last year of working while still in college. I hope that this site will help me save a little more in order to get her a ring that she truly deserves

Thanks!

after my second day on this site I have eclipsed the $10.00 mark. This site is awesome!

:cooldance:

I think my goal for the first month is to become a super member before the end of the quarter in September. On my way to the $100.00 mark!

That may be one of the best uses that I have ever heard for Sunshine Rewards money. :)

That is an awesome use for your earnings!

To get the banner, first you need to get the code for that. Go the the Sunshine Rewards page, then look under Member Zone and Refer Friends. Choose one of the banners (they usually take a few days to update) and copy all of the text. CTRL + A is good for this and copy the text.

In the forum, at the top you should see USER CP on the far left of the blue bar at the top. Go there, On the box at the left, click EDIT SIGNATURE. Paste your referral banner in there and save.

I think you need to have 25 posts for the signature to show up, so post more! Good luck!

Did you clear your cookies? There is a sticky on the Q&A thread (I think that's where it is) that explains all of the settings and such that you need for the surveys. I had the same problems too when I started out but once I set up my computer properly, the credits started rolling in.

Don't give up! We do a monthly "survey challenge" thread on the Offers and Contests board. It is a great motivator and a way to see your survey earnings add up fast.

thanks! so basically I should clear my cookies after every survey I take? I'm still trying to get the hang of this survey taking stuff. I want to get all of the surveys I complete to credit since I put the time in.

You have to wait until the survey credit has posted to your account before you can clear cookies. Otherwise, the survey won't credit.

It's a good idea to start the day by clearing cookies. Then, try GF, AMP, MV, SH, SSI, and GTM. Wait for your completed surveys to credit. Then, clear cookies again before you try SSI2 or Y2C.

Hope this helps!

gderooy
08-05-2011, 12:25 PM
yes with the clearing of cookies my surveys have been working a lot better now. Thanks everyone for the help.

I officially have over 20.00 in my first 5 days! :cooldance:

...Just have to wait 40 more days to cash out haha.

Does anyone know how much the Paypal fee is to cashout?

08-05-2011, 12:55 PM
There is no Paypal fee if you have the free/personal paypal account. If you sell on ebay and upgraded to a premium account (or whatever they are called) you'll be hit with a fee from paypal.

thats great to hear. This site is awesome. I know it would be pretty hard to to do but what would be an example of a gift that the super member plus people get as opposed to super members for making 250 in a month?

Funny you mention that because the SMPlus gifts for this quarter are on their way to my house as we speak! We're hoping to get them out to the members next week. I can't say what they are, but they are TWO gifts this quarter!

In past quarters they have been anything from Smiley Cookies to Sunshine Rewards gear.

that is so sick.

So far I'm at 20.05 five days in. In order to get the 250 by the end of September I need to average 4.11 per day. Tough but it may be doable with a couple extra offers with my surveys.

Very excited! I really want to make this on my first month.

big turnaround from yesterday. I got all 9 surveys credited today as well as a couple of offers. :cooldance: Hope the good fortune continues into the weekend.

I am rooting for you! Your goal of $250.00 by the end of September is doable. You don't even need to get all 9 surveys a day to reach that goal. You are doing awesome!!:clap:

1st week in the bag. It has taken me less time to come to enjoy this site and what it has to offer. So far I'm at a little over 31.00. Just like to say thanks to the makers of the site because you are doing a good thing here for everyone involved. :cooldance:

Wow! You have more than I have and I have been a member since April. I really should put more effort into finding more time to get these surveys done:o because they do pay off. However, when I do have a moment I get all that I can get done. And I do believe that a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing.;)

very frustrating night. Got denied for all of the surveys that I tried before going to bed. Better luck tomorrow. Did past the 40.00 dollar mark today though. Onwards to 50.

You can do this!
I just joined at the very end of March and as of right now, by the end of the week, I should be able to do my final Disney gift card cash out before our trip for a grand total of $525. I would say 90% was just from surveys. Of course there are always little extra ways top earn like the daily scratch off and paid clicks and paid sign ups and purchases through SR links but the surveys really add up. Keep going and you will reach your goals in no time! :sunshine:

08-11-2011, 05:30 PM
Alright, 11 days is all it took for me to reach the 50.00 mark! :cooldance:

According to my calcs, I need to avg 3.99 / day for the remaining 50 days until the end of the quarter in order to get that Super Member Plus. Woo!

Feel free to enjoy the $50 party below:

Congratulations! Great Job! From my past experience (have been SMP last three quarters) you are on the right track. As for me, my goal was SM for the Summer as I am busy with vacation and children. When they go back to school I get back in gear for SMP. Once again, great job! :party:

Check back on the first page. Since you just hit 25 posts, you might need to wait until the script runs before it's in.

You're doing fantastic!

You can do it!!:sunshine:

I've done 5 surveys today and I made $4 already! I still have the SM and the SSI(2) to do which will be another $1.20 if I can get them. I usually have great success getting these when I have already gotten the first two.

in an hour it will be one week till I can cash out for the first time. I have finally come to terms with not being able to make the super member plus in two months time. Next quarter I will be able to do it for sure though. Hoping to cash out with over 150 by next week. Hope everyone is gettin that money! I wonder who will win the crazy survey contest that ended earlier today. Even more important I wonder what the prize is!

Good luck everyone:cooldance:

Took a few days off of survey taking to fly down to Nashville for a friend's wedding. I also was able to get my first cashout approved for 140.00. Unfortanetly I cashed out on the 16th so it could take a little longer to actually get the money. Either way I'm ready to get some surveys in starting today.

HERE WE GO!:cooldance:

I'm wondering how does Sunshine Rewards know what my paypal account is. Do they contact me to find out? This might be a dumb question but this was my first cashout so I was wondering how the general process works after getting an approved cashout

09-22-2011, 08:18 PM
If you go to Member Zone and Edit Your Account, there is a place to enter your payment email address for Paypal.

On about Oct. 31, you should receive an email from Paypal that you've received money in your account from SR. At that point, you'll be able to either use a Paypal debit card or transfer it to your bank account.

haha not yet. I need to get that ring first. The good news is that I have made 200 from this and other sites taking surveys in 2 months. I believe I'm around 1500 saved up so far. Still got a ways to go I believe. But I just became a super member for the new quarter! Now my goal is to become a supermember plus for the next quarter.

Finally back in action. I have been so busy the last month with school and work that I had little if any time for surveys. But now I'm back with vengance!:cooldance: It's time to make some money!

Got my first disbursement on paypal for 140.00 a couple of days ago and transferred it over to my savings account for the ring. Got over 1,300 now in savings since starting last year! Pretty pumped!

:thanks: SUNSHINE REWARDS!
