    Scarlet I think everyone on here will agree those kind of targets are appalling - I don't know what to say. You've done incredibly well to exceed those targets. I agree with Miwa that there are probably more things to do when you are new to the site, but I personally think that Swagbucks have gone totally bonkers to put it mildly.

    It looks like Scarlet earnt highly on a low goal repeatedly, then when she just fell to meet the goal it spiked considerably higher. It seems like goal personalisation mechanics to me.

    Got my mate to sign up yesterday, obviously we had the no goal for then. But he has the same as us today, a daily goal of 90 so I don't think this is something to do with the personal goal stuff. I think there must be an error for Scarlett?
    2015 goal from online stuff: £900
    Currently at: £633.05/£900
    2014 goal: £1256.85/£800 Goal reached 29/9!
    2013 goal: £973.30/£500 Goal reached 31/7!

    You could be right about it being an error, but for a supposedly professional site and business I think errors like that are unacceptable. I wonder if they are experimenting with higher targets, though, to see if they're achievable. They couldn't do that with existing members, but it would be possible with newcomers because unless they come onto a site like this they wouldn't know any different

    Agreed. It looks like they're trying it out on some expendible newbies.
    Bar stewards.

    I reckon the same - that they are choosing those who weren't referred (if Scarlet isn't indeed someone's ref), as they will not know any different or be able to ask anyone about their own goals.

    I am stunned :-o
    you are the only person i know of that this is happening to but then agaon you are the only newbie i know. swagbucks is becoming pointless if this is their idea of fair goals. they are desperate to avoid paying us a bonus arent they?
