Earn 500 SB from a single survey!





For those of you who don't know, Swagbucks.ca is the leading destination for users who want to make money or get free gift cards online and get cash back on purchases. You can make money by doing things you already do online anyways like searching the web, watching videos, and answering surveys. You can also get cash back for purchases made through our site or apps, such as the SB Answer App. Use my sign up link here to join Swagbucks today!

Also, some exciting news for Toronto residents! Swagbucks currently has a new special promo running in Toronto that offers 500 SB (that's equivalent to $5) from a single survey! All you have to do is visit the Eaton Centre with your Location enabled SB Answer app and complete a survey about your experience!
It's all part of a new program they've launched called Local Missions!


What are Local Missions?
Local missions are surveys based on a place you’ve visited or a purchase you’ve made at a local store.

How do I get invited or find out about a local mission?
1- Get the Swagbucks Answer app, available for iOS and Android.
2- Enable Location sharing – this feature turns on surveys when you visit a location that has a hidden mission.
3- Turn on notifications so you can get a mission alert. Let’s say you are standing in line at Tim Horton’s for your morning coffee and that is one of our local mission spots. Your phone will notify you and link you directly to the App where you can complete your survey and earn SB.

What do I earn?
Payouts vary by mission difficulty. Currently, we have missions paying upwards of $5.
Will I get disqualified?
Typically, local mission surveys don’t have restrictions other than your presence in a certain location. Some may require a purchase so you can rate your experience or the service you got. It could be about the food at a restaurant or the expertise of a salesperson helping you or just how clean and organized the store was. Every local mission has a limited number of invitations, so you can’t waste time.

Attention: Members in the Toronto Area, visit CF’s Eaton Centre for a local mission worth 500 SB.

Attention: Members nationwide, we have a new mission coming soon at a gas station near you!
Get ready and happy hunting!

Justice League: Throne Of Atlantis Commemorative Edition #Review

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.






In Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Commemorative Edition, Cyborg discovers an imminent threat in the depths of the oceans so powerful that it rallies together the newly formed Justice League. Meanwhile, wandering thousands of feet above the ocean floor is drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who may be the last chance to bridge the ancient Atlantean world with our own. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of DC's Justice League must band together as they face off against warmongering Orm, an army of sea creatures, otherworldly weapons and perilous odds. In this all-new epic adventure from the DC Universe, mankind's only hope of escaping from the darkness lies with the guiding light of a man – Aquaman! 


The celebrity laden cast features primetime television stars Matt Lanter (Timeless, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, 90210) as Aquaman, Sam Witwer (Being Human, Smallville, Star Wars: Rebels) as Orm, Jason O'Mara (The Man in the High Castle) as Batman, Christopher Gorham (Insatiable, Two Broke Girls, Covert Affairs) as Flash, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie, Castle) as Green Lantern, Shemar Moore (S.W.A.T., Criminal Minds) as Cyborg, Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Daredevil) as Wonder Woman, Jerry O'Connell (Real Men Watch Bravo, The Death of Superman) as Superman, Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as Shazam, Sumalee Montano (Scandal, Critical Role) as Mera, Sirena Irwin (Superman: Unbound) as Queen Atlanna, and Harry Lennix (Man of Steel, The Blacklist) as Manta.




Available on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and Digital November 13, 2018

MY THOUGHTS

My husband and I  have been watching and collection all these DC animated movies since they first started and yes we have been enjoying them very much.

This is a re-release of the Justice League: Throne Of Atlantis movie that came out in January 2015.

Anyway,  Both my husband and I enjoyed this one.  It wasn't one of our favourites but it was entertaining and the story-line was decent enough.

I do recommend. 

I give this 4 out of 5.

Gifts For Gamers

You have a gamer on your list this year? I do have a few suggestions for you.



PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox One





Key Features:
  • Advanced Gaming Buttons
  • Unique White design
  • Officially licensed for Xbox One
  • Dual rumble motors
  • 3.5mm stereo headset jack
  • Removable 9.8ft (3m) USB cable
  • 2-year limited warranty

This is a good Xbox One controller that can also be used for gaming on Windows PC as well. I have not used it but my husband has been using it for a week now and he said it is a good one. It works well when he played games on Steam on his PC and it was easy to set up. The USB cable is very long which is perfect for gaming on the Xbox One.




Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch – Retro Mario



Key Features:
  • Bluetooth Wireless freedom
  • Features motion controls and Advanced Gaming Buttons
  • Ergonomic design with standard button layout
  • LEDs for power, button mapping, player number and low battery warning
  • Includes two AA batteries for up to 30 hours of gameplay
  • Official licensed product with 2-year limited warranty – Register at PowerA.com

I have used this one a few times in the past few days and I do actually like it. I do have small hands and it would have been nice if this controller was a bit smaller for kids with smaller hands but other than that I am liking this controller.
It was easy to set up and I love the motion controls.
There are a few designs to choose.
