I need $35.00 more but I am not worried. I try to get $33 every month and so this month is just a tad more. I WILL NOT lose this supermember status. I have had it every quarter except the first one after I joined so I would miss it too much. That is enough motivation for me!! :) i also think I will be amking a shoebuy order later on this month too. That should really help.

This thread made me go check where I am. I need just under $28 to make SM again this quarter. I got too lax on my surveys in August. I will be trying OTX again, they don't like me for some reason.

I'm with you. I have to make about 32 and it will be a real toughie for me to make it. I'm trying to think of Christmas gifts I might want to buy now, and pulling together a big photo order to hopefully push me over the edge. I'm pretty dependent on the surveys though and August was a little rough.

I need another $5 I think but I cannot get a survey to save my life. I'm going to keep plugging along though. I need to make it before the 18th when we leave for Disney.

So, we have 27 days left in the quarter, and I need to earn $33 between now and then. Anyone else need to band together? I'm working on my surveys and am trying to get an OTX, plus am redoing old offers as they reach their 30 day period.

Update only 33.28 to go :banana:
Stupid Q?? but... I am assuming its ok to try to do offers that didnt credit at the 30 mark?

faithhope

09-03-2008, 08:02 PM

I've got around 23 credits to go...

I'm cheering for all of you... come on...you can do it... one more survey try... one more offer...you can do it..

I'm trying to get a survey now

I need $35.00 and I don't seem to ever get OTX surveys. In fact today I was doing an OTX survey and was about 20 minutes into it and then I got a message stating that I had made an incorrect answer. HUH? Then it chastised me for not being honest.:eek: The survey was about entertainment websites - why would I lie?

I couldn't get a survey yesterday....but I did get a nice offer... I'm behind in my offers so this is an older one...
CoolOffersOnline - McDonald vs. Burger King $100 Gift Card 1.25
It didn't credit on the hour, so I didn't think I would get it... but it came through overnight.

Hopefully I can get a survey today. I have about 21 credits to go.

Paid Signup: Dove Firming Lotion 0.50
I finally got a survey today
met me goal of an offer and a survey...
I'll probably will try another offer tonight...

Hedy

09-04-2008, 08:19 AM

No surveys for me yesterday, but I did get a lot of those medical offers. Only 31 dollars left. Hopefully not doing a survey yesterday will help me by giving me a longer time for new surveys.

09-04-2008, 09:16 AM

$27 to go! I'm having a hard time getting surveys lately and with all the craziness of back to school, I'm really thinking I won't make it this quarter.

Good luck to everyone :party:

mia214jia

09-04-2008, 05:14 PM

I got some small offers. And I got 2 surveys today. WOOT! :cooldance:
I am still waiting for something to show up for pending for some purchases made. :eek:
Anyways, I am now needing 26 more credits.

09-04-2008, 05:20 PM

Okay, I'm sweatin' with you guys. I better get it in gear! I need about 42.00 so that means I better get to shopping. I haven't done any surveys or offers since July. Wow! With everything going on, and when I log on to SR, it's either check in on my friends or do the surveys. :(

I've been a SM every quarter since I've joined and I'm not about to lose my SUPER MEMBER STATUS!! I can do it!! I can do it!!:sunshine:

I'm now at 1.2 a day, or 30 total, to make SM. i have a lot pending due to my shoe buying frenzy last night, but as I don't know who's staying and who's going, I'm hesitant to count it.

mia214jia

09-05-2008, 01:16 PM

I was able to get in a couple of offers and a survey this morning. I have to wait about another hour before I am eligable to do the OTX.
Anyways, closer...:party:

Just a reminder-I know we're all going crazy to make SM, but only ONE member of your household can do the GF surveys, and ONE the OTX. For example, you can take GF and your DH can take OTX, but you can't take a GF today, and have your DH take it tomorrow.

I only did one offer yesterday... and I didn't get a survey...so I didn't meet my goal yesterday...

I did get a survey this morning, which makes me very happy... I'll work on an offer now.

09-06-2008, 02:57 PM

Ok, well now I really have to buckle down. I haven't had much success with the Greenfield surveys lately, and around 11 p.m. I usually give up and try for the SM survey. There are some good offers that I might try to take advantage of. . . and I could always use another Vera Bradley bag!

Good luck to all this quarter!:clap:

Cleaning cookies myself this morning. And then I will hit SR again this after noon. I got a GF survey yesterday and 1 offer but no OTX.
Thats ok though, If I still atleast get 1 offer and 1 survey I should be fine.
However I think I will certainly be cutting it close.
DH is now asking how I am doing since I have expalined to him how this could help out for Christmas $$ shopping.:D
I really wish you all new how much I really want this. :blush: I feel like I have missed out soooo much by not pushing myself to try harder before.
Anyways, lesson learned and a new day!
Thanks Hedy for starting this thread and Thanks to Faith for holding me accountable.
And everyone else checking in and pushing us to try harder. :cooldance:

Got in my offer and a GF today, still couldnt get a OTX as of yet :p

After I subtract $6.50 for the Zappos shoes that are going back, I have $.83 a day, and that's not including my two surveys so far this weekend. I also did a lot of gift shopping yesterday, which should help matters.

Okay, I'm sweatin' with you guys. I better get it in gear! I need about 42.00 so that means I better get to shopping.

I need about that much too Lisa :(

I have actually been very disappointed. I had two VERY large credits I was really excited about not come through and it doesn't look like they will. I'd have to shop a LOT to make it. I work 70+ hours a week and don't have hours to spend everyday trying to get surveys so I am feeling pessimistic about making SM :cry: (But not giving up!)

faithhope

09-08-2008, 07:05 PM

I didn't have enough time this past weekend to do as much as I wanted toward the SM goal... I feel it hanging over me, and want to finish it off.
I still have around 19 more credits to go...no real progress made over the weekend.

I did just get a survey after a couple of frustrating failed attempts (stupid broken surveys)

I'm going to try and offer or two now.
the pays to shop offer isn't working for me...keeps going to an about me page... if anyone has done this one successfully and has a trick...please pm me.

I have been lucky to get a daily survey every day this week. But there haven't been many new offers to do so I am not making much headway. I have made a few orders but I REALLY need to stop spending money! :) If only gymboree was an affiliate. I have made a few orders through them lately. Just glad mini-boden is an affiliate now.

arob414

09-08-2008, 08:37 PM

I need .75. This is, I think, the latest I have ever made SM. Probably because I haven't been as motivated since getting back from Disney. Just can't make myself try for surveys. I think I have surveyaphobia.:rotfl:But, I have confidience that I will earn that last .75, one way or another.

sammielynn

09-08-2008, 09:44 PM

Come on everyone work hard, you can do it. In June I was in a panic, but managed to scrape through. This quarter I hit it harder in August because I didn't want that hanging over my head. Guess I can thank all the dorm shopping I did for making SM for next quarter.

09-08-2008, 10:03 PM

I havent been able to get a OTX for the last few days, but I have gotten a GF each day so far.

Thanks to the awesome team at SR getting my TT through, I only need 21.95!! :clap:

I have a list of things I can do and if they all credit, it is almost $10. I did some shopping on Ebay yesterday and bought some restaurant gift cards for upcoming birthday gifts! My husband and I are in love with the restaurant Bonefish Grill so I bought us a gift card to go out to eat on date night :)

And I think I will pick my husband up a pair of Steel Toe Caterpillars for Christmas. They are not cheap so that should be a good credit too!! Getting closer!! Tricia was right that this is the most important quarter to get SM with Christmas coming up!! ;)

GRRRRR.... No GF or OTX survey yesterday AT all! But I was able to get a OTX this morning. I have had a few offers to come in and I got one yesterday. I did a purchase yesterday from MYSPICE and I hope it hits this month before the cut off.
Anyways after reading the GF thread I am going to get off of here for awhile clean my cookies and wait awhile and come back then to hopefully get my GF.
I am now needing 16.25 to make it.
But I am still going to need you all to bust my butt everyday so I dont give in to the "there's no use attitude". :D

I got a daily survey yesterday, and an offer
Paid Signup: WinningSurveys: Land Rover LR2 SUV (no paypal cashout) 1.00
This is NOT a fast credit offer.... so don't expect it on the hour. There was an email confirmation.

I've now got around 16 credits to go. I'm off to clear cookies, do an offer and a survey.
got a survey about financial stuff...very personal...then asks for address at the end.
now to find an offer.

Well I got in both surveys today. And I am still waiting for my Kiddy Grab Bag (pending of course, but it should clear for the month).
All that said I have quite a few offers in pending and I think it would be a good idea to lay low for a day or 2 to give some a chance to post.
Since I got both surveys I dont feel such a urgency as of yet.
I am in a good position for now, I need a little less than 14 credits to reach 100.
So I should be in! :party:

If you want a quick 3.00 credit, the Arm and Hammer Whitening Booster is worth way more then the 19.95 + 6.95 shipping....the Crest spinning head brush with case is worth 15.00 alone. This is a super deal, and I've only used the boost 3 times and can see a difference.

Got both surveys in today. When GF Survey from yesterday posts and OTX posts. I will be on track! Being that all my pending credits come through of course.
Not trying to stress much now, but also not getting to comfortable either.
But I am having fun with the idea of getting my first SM. Im sure I probably wont grace the BIG BOARD but at least I can say I did it see what SM is all about.

Arky

09-12-2008, 10:33 AM

I am currently at $82.47. I am starting to get nervous. I have gotten a Greenfield survey everyday this month (well my DH has), but the choices to check are very low right now. I have been working on OTX and am getting those sometimes. I am having no luck on the SM surveys though or offers. I have tried 3 offers this week that have not credited.

I have to keep plugging along at this!! I am trying not to do any shopping right now due to our limited budget. I may resort to some shopping though.

Keep your fingers crossed I make it!

09-12-2008, 10:50 AM

I'm at 76.79 for the month.
Need $23.21 to get SM, must earn $1.22 a day in order to get there. Hoping to get both surveys tonight! Which would put me over goal. I did a snapfish offer for 4 pts but I haven't seen the credit and it's been a week.

This is going to be close. I need about 1.20 a day to make it. I just did a huge photo order that will hopefully credit for just about 3.65.

I'm a bit worried as the surveys are the key to the whole thing and are somewhat out of my control.

Fingers crossed for everyone out there trying to make it!

My disney trip isn't until Dec of 09 and we are already in how long can we go is based on Sunshine earnings mode. It is hard with one being unemployed but if you just realize that you should shop drugstore and 4ink and all those then it adds up fast. I just bought my Obama Girl tee from Zazzle last night so that adds to it. That was one expense I had to make.

Nothing like an upcoming disney trip to motivate a person... the SM perk of disney cards for less credits is an awesome perk. We are going in December, so I'll be cashing out the end of October and I so want to hit $400.

Glad to see people making progress toward the goal... keep going...

I got a survey today... now to try an offer.

Im close but not close enough for where I think I should be. Not being able to have access to my computer since sunday night I have not been able to get in much. I did get some surveys yesterday but I have'nt been able to get in any today.
If I can get in GF and OTX for the next week I will pull it off.
I need some WDW magic. :sunshine:

I'm getting really nervous. I'm in Cincinnati and we have been without power since Sunday. I'm at the library now, but not sure how many offers I should try. Power is not supposed to be on until Saturday. I will be cutting it very close.

I'm sitting at 87.78.

I made it today too. I had been procrastinating, but those wonderful health sign-ups really helped! I then redid a really old offer from June that never credited - CoolOffersOnline for $1.25 and it credited!:banana:

I'm now at $100.24. My next goal which I really need to get moving on is $40 more by next month at this time so I can cash out for our Disney trip.

Congrats everyone!

I give up! I still have $25 to go in the next two weeks. Haven't been getting any surveys, offers aren't creditting and we've had to cut back on expenses. :( Hopefully, I'll be back next quarter!

09-19-2008, 01:40 PM

I need just under $10. I have already done a survey today so credit for that won't come until Monday. I have to wait a few more hours to do OTX. I am not getting much of the offers to credit. I think I will try a new email address to see if that will help.

Congrats to those who are making SM for next quarter. It is encouraging to know some are making it.

I haven't had much chance to get on the computer lately.
I still have 11 credits to go, and there will be a few more days I can't get on the computer...so I need to really focus.
I got a survey on Friday. (.80)
I made an order on fabric.com (my daughter wants to make a quilt out of the yoga monkeys) I'm not sure how fast it will credit. hopefully this quarter, since I could use it.
I got a survey on Saturday (.80)

Good Job all those who have made it... and cheers to those still clicking with me!

Ok, just joining the group now because I still need over $17 & am trying really hard not to make any purchases...but I wish I did...it would be pretty helpful....

I tried re-doing the offers that didn't credit after 30 days....didn't have any luck there.

Got a survey on Friday, but not sure about yesterdays....it didn't bring us back to the SR page....and todway we cannot get one.

I tried for an OTX survey just now & got it done, so hoping it credits.

Aggghhh....I WISH there was something for me to purchase!! :0)
Good luck everyone!

keep pluggin away jen

do you need any pictures of the dogs developed? that could be a quick credit and not too costly

Yeah, I do actually, but I've already signed up for the memberships. Is that what you're talking about or is there money back on photo purchases? Guess I didn't really look into that (and I can't at work now--stupid firewall).

What about the eBay offer? DH still doesn't have an eBay account...I think I remember I could have him sign up through SR for it, right? Does it have a credit hold on it?? Hmmm....

Thanks for thinking of me Pam!!

It is really a good one! I got my daughter an adorbale pair of lincensed Disney Ears sterling silver/ruby earrings for $17 but then got the $10 credit from SR! It credited in 7 days!

Photoworks offers 7% back on purchases and some of the other ones offer a sign up bonus (in shopping section so I don't believe it would be held until next month) and the usual cash back. Shutterfly & snapfish....you may belong to them, not sure

I went away for a birthday weekend:cooldance: but I still have 5 credits to go:blush:

I got a survey this morning- that was survey 13, so I'll get a small bonus to start me off for next quarter's earnings.

I haven't gotten offers to credit for a few days...which isn't like me... so I updated my ad-aware and ran it last night, and it found junk... hopefully I'll have better luck today at getting offers.

Sorry I just saw this! It is under shopping. If you regisyter as a new member, and make a purchase, you receive a $10 credit. If your not a SM though, it won't credit in time :( Sorry!

not sure if i wasn't approved last time despite, reaching the goal, or just cannot find the the link here to post:confused::cry:

Remember, you need to put the correct password in thats in your SM section on SR. Just saying "I'm a SM" or anything along that order will not get you in.

But I'll keep checking daily here to cheer you guys on... I couldn't have done it without you all holding me accountable. There were days I wanted to be lazy, and days I wanted to:computer: but you kept me going.

One of the two credits hit last night - but I still need to make $1.30 a day for the rest of the month. if I don't get both surveys or at least one and one offer a night I'll be out - OH THE DRAMA!

~Amanda

This is stressful, but you can do it! The supermember perks are worth it... and next time you can work on it hard in the first month of the quarter so you never have to stress like this again to get SM (at least that is the promise I make to myself when I have quarters that I make by the skin of my teeth)

kimbih

09-26-2008, 11:03 AM

Ack! I'm more stressed now LOL I was ok with not making SM this quarter since I was so far away but after some shopping credits came through, a few surveys and a referral bonus finally hitting $5, I'm within $12 of making it! I know I'll be banging my head into the wall now if I don't make SM by only a few cents now LOL

Chloe'sMom

PS what are crazy credits?

Crazy credits are those contests where Tricia posts certain offers, then we post in the thread when we get them to credit, then they'll pick random winners by post number for prizes, like gift cards, affiliate goodies, etc.

It is a great fun way to up your totals in a short period of time :)

The last one we had was listed as "Mini Freebie Contest" in the forum.
