A co-worker turned me on to this app.
She uses it to get funds to buy Poke coins.
I’ve used it a bit over the years, and it’s not too intrusive, so worth the little effort needed. I get incubators mostly.
Get paid for answering short surveys and uploading receipts. You can use the same receipts that are submitted to MyPoints or Swagbucks, sort of a double-dip.

Well, I finally got fed up with my dinosaur of a phone and ordered a new one.
I had been using an Alcatel Pop 5.5 which had been getting slower and slower by the day.
It really just didn’t have enough internal storage (8GB) or RAM (1GB) to handle all of the updates that were constantly coming out for every little app.
My new phone is actually fairly old from 2015 but has good specs. I bought a Samsung S6 Active. It’s built tough for drops, and shocks and is waterproof.
It has 32GB storage and 3GB RAM so I shouldn’t have too much trouble with my apps just yet.
The phone is fast, it has an octa-core processor and loads Pokémon Go quite fast. In fact, the phone has a blue button on the side that can launch a preset app. I’ve got that set to Pokémon Go 😀
So today I used one of my rewards at Starbucks.
I am having some difficulty with one of the star offers, so at some point, I’ve got to call Chase Pay for assistance.
I ordered the Serious Strawberry frappuccino. It tasted great and was a perfect reward for the day.
Earlier this year, I signed up for a Starbucks account so that I could play the Summer Game Boardwalk.
I ended up getting 100 Stars, which is 25 shy of a free item. I have been waiting for another deal so that I could get a free item without having to load any money into the account.
Free stuff is fun, and free Starbucks is even better.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be working out, as all the deals I’ve seen lately have required spending some cash.
There are 2 offers that I have decided to take up to get those Stars I need for free rewards.
Currently, there is a promotion to earn up to 475 Stars from reloading your account with Chase Pay for 20 bucks on 3 occasions.
I only need to do this twice for my plan to hit 375 Stars. The next part of the plan is to sign up for the Starbucks Prepaid Visa card by Chase, which has a welcome bonus of 125 Stars when you load $10 onto the card.
The card has a minimum load requirement of $25, which is annoying.
Anyways, this will bring me to 500 Stars, which is 4 free items. I’ll then also have 65 dollars leftover on my account to spend at Starbucks.
The $65 left on the account will be used to buy 4 bags of Whole Bean Coffee ($12.95) and 1 box of VIA Instant coffee packets ($9.95).
These can either be gifted to family, consumed at home, or flipped on eBay, depending on my needs.
CVS recently started carrying Target GCs in the $25-500 denominations.
Remember, if you are in the miles and points game or just churning, there is a $2,000 daily limit for prepaid products at CVS.
We had baked potatoes and sour cream. BLTs with some really gorgeous tomatoes from the local Barret’s farm stand.
I ran into some problems with my phone and sadly had to do a factory reset. I’m back up and running, but I’ve lost my old keyboard layout, which is no longer supported.
Also lost is the Korean language input I was using. In the language input select menu, it shows X’s in boxes for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
I downloaded G-board, but it really doesn’t match up to what I had.
Mostly, the problem is that I don’t know what the name is of the old keyboard.
I wish I had screenshots of my old keyboard. It was more compact and didn’t focus on the GUI much.
Switching languages was fast, just long-press the space bar and highlight the language. The G-board opens a window to select a language and lists stuff I don’t need. It’s bulky.
A cup of tea (Lipton) for breakfast and a muffin.
We headed to the post office to ship some stuff for eBay.
Then went to Lowe’s to check out their clearance plants.
