I try to get around 180 a day. If I acheive that I'm happy, although at times it's way higher. Such an addictive way to spend a bit of spare time!0 -

Hi there, congrats on doing so well!
However, when you get £5 in paypal each point is worth 0.4766p but if you get a £25 (is apparently is very doable for you!) in paypal you will get 0.50515p per point! So in £5 voucher £25 is 5245sb a whole 296sb more! This translates to a whole £1.49(.5244) towards your next £25. Over 12 months this gives you another £17.94(.2928)!
I haven't worked it out for any voucher of greater value but £25 is the best value for £5, £10 and £25 is the £25 voucher. Though if you find more regular withdrawals motivating then stick with the strategy you are going with. : )
And congrats!0 -

Thanks. I noticed some swagbucks haven't gone on like when I signed up for an o2 sim. Do they sometimes take a day to come through?Swagbucks - £150 / Dooyoo - £20

Yes they sometimes take a little while. I think my O2 one took a couple of days. If they don't come through you can contact support with the details and hopefully they should credit you.Thanks.

I know this may be a stupid question, but how do you get the Peanut Lab surveys?? I can't do the trusted surveys as it keeps saying there has been an error, I have opened a ticket but not heard back as yet

EDIT - I just found it

Thank you for your post, really informative! I am going with the latter though, I find regular withdrawals "keep my spirits up" when it comes to the amount of time on an evening I have SBTV running in the background, so while I see the extra value, I'll be taking the £5 paypals etc etc..
However, your post is good for all to see - interesting and informative, so thanks again
And yes, really pleased with my progress, I sometimes wonder how Swagbucks is sustainable, perhaps not all throw themselves into it like I have!!0 -
Two 2SB vids on PL, but only one is working for me right now
