Results of my first month at r/beermoney

It's been a month since I discovered the sub and I want to share my achievements so far. I have a full time desk job and then most of my free time on evenings/weekends is taken up caring for my 2-year-old daughter, but when I can find half an hour once in a while to do beermoney activities I get a huge thrill out of every dollar I earn/save. We moved into a house recently so I've been using the Amazon gift cards to buy furniture for my house. These numbers don't include any referrals because none of my friends/family will click my fucking referral links lol

Actives

Swagbucks: 6,457 SB in June plus another 28,750 pending until mid July. I filled out my whole Swago board and tried a little of everything the site has to offer. I did a lot of offers for charities and for Schwan's food delivery, Amora coffee, XM radio, etc. I spent a total of about $150 on the offers. I'm considering stop using Swagbucks at this point for anything other than online shopping, and just redeem a $25 gift card once a month for the next 13+ months.

QuickThoughts: $130 in Amazon gift cards redeemed so far. This is the best pay for the time invested.

mturk: $1.55 (I've only just started trying this and am doing the 2 cent hits to build up hits)

Total active earnings for June: ~$333.62

Passives

Earny: ~$40 in refunds after their 25% cut

SoFi: $25 sign up bonus

NVSTR: $40 sign up bonus

Stash: $5 sign up bonus (and it helped me earn 1250 SB)

Pei: $15 sign up bonus and $2.13 in cash back so far

Drop: $5 sign up bonus and $0.34 in cash back so far

ibotta: $3.95 in cash back (sadly most of the offers are for stores where I don't shop. I do all my shopping at ALDI/Walmart/Amazon)

Upvoice: 340 points (need 600 to redeem $10 Amazon card)

...and I started putting all my purchases on a 1.5% rewards credit card whenever possible, have made ~$13 cash back from that.

Total passive earnings for June: ~$109.42

A big thank you to this community and especially to those of you responsible for putting together the extremely helpful megathreads. If there's something not on the above list that you think I should be using, I would love to hear your advice!

Edit: I realize a few of these items like the bank/credit card stuff don't fit the definition of beer money but it's still income I didn't know how to make last month so I listed it anyway.
