Evening/Morning SwagBuckers

I'm still wary of the special offers page as I don't want to be unknowingly charged for something I don't want to purchase and sometimes I get a security warning about those pages...EEK! Also since I was getting txts and dropped calls from something I used, its made me even more wary. I've had offers/survey emails too from the same sender, but delete them, wary of trying anything out of the SB site lol

With regard to being charged for something you don't want to purchase, provided that you don't give out your credit card, debit card or bank account details, then they cannot charge you for anything. There are some good offers on the walls that are totally legit (eg the Body Shop offer that some people were talking about yesterday), but don't be tempted to buy anything through the walls just to get the swagbucks. If you were going to buy something anyway and you can get it through Trialpay or one of the walls then fine - the swagbucks are an additional bonus. Personally I prefer just to get my bucks through surveys, searches, Swagbucks TV, games and the casino tasks

I just did one casino task but it did not credit. LOL this feels like cheating at an exam, but do the searches count the top searches too or does no 1 start after?

:)Cath, Samplicio.us are OK too, as are the ones on Peanut Labs at the top and the ones on Payment Wall at the top. You can also try the Sampling International surveys on Sponsorpay. The casino tasks, as Art says, are easy to complete. You need to click on 'Earn' and then 'Tasks' and then look out for the ones called 'Answer a few questions about a website (United Kingdom). Start looking for them around 11.45pm. If you look now there are still one or two remaining

LOL our posts crossed. You need to get your progress bar in the tasks (top left hand corner) to 100% which equals 20 sb before they are credited. So you would need to do 5 separate casino tasks. There are usually about 10 a night that you can do

Edit - the searches in the yellow background box don't count. There should be 10 actual search results per page, so start counting from the first one after the ones in the yellow box

Just got 25 sb for a search - finishes off the day very nicely :j

These tasks are stupid! lol! I just did 3 casino ones and only one completed as the other 2 said I hadn't gone to the site and a mobile phone one said I could not work on the task....pffft! S'pose I'd better do this washing up then go to bed

Thanks for the help Paul and Art

I find that the casino tasks work better in internet explorer or chrome. They did not work for me using Firefox - you should be able to go back and try again

I just did a task on someone called Ken Fisher/Fisher Investments. The task has taken me over 40 mins to do as there was a lot of copy/pasting to do, the task has come out with an accuracy of 0.00?% and wants me to do the task again. I am tired, aching and irritable and off to bed in a mo before I explode! Does the task keep the % already achieved. Should either stick to vids and surveys or start tasks earlier! See you tomorrow fellow swaggernauts - don't be up too late X

But how do you do it? I click "earn" on the SB toolbar, but there are no surveys. I have been a member for almost a week, and have only 78 SB now, and have yet to do a single survey for anything. So most of the SBs I have is the registration SB that I got! My SB inbox (the mail button on the SB toolbar) has just a single mail, saying I can earn 2 SB by playing a game.

Go to the Special Offers page and look along the various tabs, there's tons of surveys amongst all the other stuff. Often the coding involved is a shambles and they'll crash or you will be disqualified (DQ) but you just need to keep plugging away until eventually you get one that works.
