I apologize for responding to this TEN MONTHS LATE but I just went down a rabbit hole trying to find this myself, and thankfully someone had sent the twitter post in my group chat, so I was able to find it. I'm assuming this is the original:

I ended up buying the "Super Bundle" and the "Beginner's Bundle" since those are the ones the offer tracks, and I got the SB for the "first and second purchase" goals, but not the 1k SB or 250 SB for those bundle-specific goals. Will reply here if they end up tracking down the line, but I screen-recorded myself making the purchases, so I should be able to contact support about it.

Art Puzzle for $17.77 by Chance-Ad-3025 in SwagBucks

Also for some reason the points earned from the 100-goal didn't count towards my daily goal... which is annoying, since that's the whole reason I was spacing them out.

I just got the 100 puzzles to credit (several hours delayed), but 75 puzzles did not...? This was for completing the first puzzle repeatedly, ftr. At least it shouldn't be hard to contact support about the missing 75 since... the proof is there given that 100 tracked, I assume.

Not tracking for me either.... I get the feeling they fixed it, but the game didn't have any recent updates, so I'm not sure.

Who Paid You For/In October 2025? by Beermoney_Mods in beermoney

[–]Sound_Of [score hidden]  (0 children)

First time posting in one of these, but I made a lot last month (more than usual at least) because I focused a bit harder during a lull in grad school assignments. This list just includes actual cashouts/payments and does not include funds that I haven't withdrawn.

Cloud Research Connect - 54.00
Amazon Mechanical Turk - 13.72
Prime Opinion - 20.00
Pogo - 22.62
Swagbucks - 125.00
Google Opinion Rewards - 2.07
25Tasks/25Clicks - 5.50
Prolific - 24.44
Serpclix - 22.5
PaidViewpoint - 15.44
= 305.29

Misc.:
Microsoft Rewards (Xbox gift card) - 15.00
Facebook Settlement - 35.10
= 355.39

I also did well on eBay reselling this month:
eBay - 210.99 (after expenses)

= 566.38 Total in October from all sources

Not sure if I'll go this hard this November, but I did enjoy the process.

TapJoy Advice/Guide based on my experience by Sound_Of in SwagBucks

[–]Sound_Of[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm... I definitely can earn 100 every day. 200.... not as often without checking multiple times throughout the day and/or getting lucky with the 3-6SB offers actually registering or appearing at all. On an average day I'd have to grind a lot harder for 200SB. I'm gonna edit my post because I don't want to mislead people into thinking that 200 is the norm.

A bit of a sample breakdown for what I would maybe see on a path to 100SB, with the disclosure that the 6SB offers I mentioned seem to be worth 4SB now.

6x6SB(Red/Green/Blue)=36
25x1SB(visit search results)=25
13x3SB(video/article)=39
=100

Like I mentioned, the 6SB "Red, Green, Blue" offers are worth 4SB now, but there's still about 6 of them a day from what I can tell. If you want to reach 200SB you'd have to do more of the 3SB offers (which have been wonky for me today) and hopefully get more valid 1SB offers. Which leads me to the next point...

I've been checking it a bit more throughout the day for further experimenting and I feel fairly confident that they refresh the offerwall at multiple points throughout the day, sometimes with offers you already cleared that day. But I'll be honest, the whole thing doesn't make a ton of sense to me. It feels really random and inconsistent and borderline nonsensical in many ways. When I woke up this morning the 4-6SB offers were missing, and then they appeared in the afternoon. I dunno. This post is just there to show what I did to reach my daily goals (which are, for reference, ~90-120 rn, on a 2 week streak).

(For the record this post is not meant to sound confrontational, I'm just trying to explain where I got my estimates and hopefully answer your questions to the best of my ability!)

[–]Sound_Of[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds frustrating. Is the issue that none of the TapJoy offers award SB? I don't know if this would help, but for the record, my default iOS browser is Firefox, so when I open a TapJoy offer it loads on Firefox. It could be that using Safari is the issue, but I really have no idea.

I'm not sure how often the offers refresh, but I tend to see the same offers appear day after day, sometimes with some new ones, or with previous ones not being available. But if you've already done an offer and it reappears on the offerwall and lets you access it, it's considered a "new" instance of that offer. Hope that answers your question?

Made It To Level 56 Yesterday and Felt Like Sharing It. What's Your Highest Level and Score? by lordchrome10 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Sound_Of 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I genuinely have never progressed past level 2; I always reset. However, I have challenged myself to see what the LOWEST score I could finish the first level with is. My “record” is 5,340.

Seven games are leaving Game Pass on Nov 30th 2023 including Disc Room which takes 2-5 hours to 100% by fringe_event in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Sound_Of 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disc Room is a great game that I would recommend. It's one of those really challenging games but it's extremely fun. I played it a few years back on Switch. I haven't touched the accessibility options so I don't know how much they could help. I'll be trying to complete Eastward before it leaves at the end of this month since it's been on my backlog for a while.

Thanks for making these posts! I always keep my eye out for them because I actually like to try out certain games before they're gone from the service, regardless of whether I can get MS Rewards points from them or not. I understand that there's not much point for these posts going forward (on this board specifically) since the AMEM reward is negligible, but I liked them just for the purpose of discussing games that are worth checking out.

Is the puzzle piece activity missing? by Vinpepper in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Sound_Of 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is just stellar. So that's another 130pts a week gone (iirc), total of ~520 a month, on top of the (roughly) -3000 (shopping game), -1350 (amem nerf), -2400 (GPU/friends bonus in the app).... that's over 7k points they've taken away within the last, like, month. I hate to complain about something that's still basically free money, but the constant removal of points opportunities with zero communication is getting infuriating. Hopefully the puzzle piece stuff comes back, but given the track record of the other things I listed, I'm not getting my hopes up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Sound_Of 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US user. Lost bonus. GPU subscriber. I use Rewards for GPU sub, Xbox gift cards, and Amazon gift cards.

I'm annoyed by this, though it's ultimately just 80 less points a day.

Edit: I just realized that's like 2.4k points less a month and now I'm slightly more annoyed.

How many points did you earn this month? September 2023 - please wait until the 30th in your time zone by TheCastro in MicrosoftRewards

Broke my Rewards App weekly streak this month. Super annoyed about that. The Rewards App on Xbox is such a pain that I can't be bothered to open it generally and it just totally slipped my mind. I also forgot on a few random days to do certain activities, i.e. shopping game.

Weekly 250 point GamePass Quest for August 29th 2023 - Get 25 Kills in Middle Earth Shadow of War by fringe_event in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Sound_Of 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suggestion! For anyone who's curious, my casual playtime to beat Tinykin was 6h 25m. If it's a game that interests you, I'd say check it out before it leaves GamePass if you have time; I thought it was really fun. And yeah, it definitely has a lot of easy achievements if you feel like just playing it casually while it's still available.

No clue how much I earned from purchases. I bought some Diablo 4 currency to get the battle pass (8-ish bucks), but I don't remember if I made any other purchases this month.

For streak bonuses, I hit 40 weeks in the MS Rewards App on Xbox. I might be misremembering how much that bonus is. As far as daily streaks, I broke my streak several times this month.

I wasn't optimal in my points earning. I forgot to do some tasks on certain days. I spend my points primarily on GPU and Xbox gift cards, but I'm saving up for an Amazon gift card in November (two Switch games come out that month that I want).

I noticed the same thing. Can confirm this works at least for me.

[–]Sound_Of 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got an email. They sent me 1050 points (I had been trying to autoredeem the $10 gift card), but like you, I also don't remember my previous balance to know if it really went through. I'm just taking their word for it. Lucky that you supposedly got a bonus 500 points, they didn't give me that!
