Does Swag bucks lack swag?

Hello, as you can see from several of my posts I have been involved with online survey taking for several months now.  I have received checks from Sendearnings, Inboxdollars, and CashBackResearch.  Recently, I read a blogger's post that showed up during a search query.  This blogger had a strong opinion that using Swag Bucks would be more successful than Inboxdollars.  I am going to attempt to put this opinion to the test.  Beginning this past sunday I have signed into my account and will see how much earnings I can create.
328 swag bucks. Keep in mind I maintain a part time job of 30 hrs per week with a long commute.  My other days are heavily occupied as well by volunteer work and leisure.  So far I have completed tasks such as: 1 survey, many searches, rejected for 10+ surveys, filling out personal info.  The Search reward already seems much more promising than any other site that I have used.  Yesterday, I was awarded 28 swag bucks for just entering different searches into the engine.

One of my early reactions, is that SB offers a poor start-up value.  Most of the other websites begin you with either an automatic $5, or a quick and easy way to accumulate $5.  I have had to put in a comparatively large amount of work and still have not reached my first $5.  I will reserve final judgement of course, because if the income is consistent in the long run - that would easily trump a slow start up.

Send Earnings review

Is this some kind of scam??

No.  First of all, I am in no way associated with send earnings.  I started using this website during July 2012, after signing up through cashbackresearch.com.  Initial signing up was just a way to earn some credit, but their site is presented very professionally and caught my eye.  Like most anyone getting involved with online business opportunities, I was VERY skeptical at first.  But, all doubt has been cleared after earning a check for $60.

How fast can I earn?

Honestly, you can earn quickly, but not that much.  Your best bet is by taking advantage of the cash offers.  These will only take you a few moments and can net you 25cents up to $10.  Most of these offers will require you to have a valid credit card.  Often they may charge you $1-$4 to get you started, and will continue to charge if you do not cancel your membership before the trial period ends.

How much will I make?

SendEarnings will provide you with multiple options to make money.  If you have a valid credit card you definitely need to concentrate on the cash offers.  The trick is to find the offers that will give you an instant profit without tying you down to a membership.  Sometimes you need to pay-out, but can still net a profit!  One recent offer was for Pimsleur, and while it costs you $12 to your credit card.. your account will be credited with $20.  As long as you end your membership before the trial period you will have profited $8 in two minutes time!

Simply filling out surveys from this website will be of little use.  You can make sometime $.50 after filling out 15-30 minutes of questions.  Often when you fill out the initial 10-15 pages of the survey you will find out that based on your answers you do not qualify.  Answering all the questions honestly only qualified me for 1/4 of the surveys.

PaidEmail is a cool feature that brings in a slow stream of change with no effort required.  Since my last pay-out I have read 116 PaidEmails for a sum of $2.32.  You may consider setting up a seperate e-mail account if you are planning to use this option to avoid clutter.
