    Not having a great day so far... earned 70sb but feels like i've lost 300 on various surveys and tasks that haven't credited or not worked.

    Think i'm banned from every fisher task going at the moment through no fault of my own.

    oh lordy the tasks... don't even bother with the majority of them anymore, hopefully you'll find some other offers to complete :)

    Yeh, SB does that to all of us at times I think!

    Don't forget the searches - as long as they are spaced out a few hours, you can pick up some reasonable SB bonuses. Had 2 hits today for 10+ SB.

    Weird, I got to 90% on Swagbucks tv then watched one more video and it went down to 60%!:mad:

    I need 13 more sb to get my daily total but I am running out of things to do!

    Edit: can somone explain how you get points for searches - do you have to install a toolbar?

    There is a toolbar, but I don't personally use it. There have been security concerns with it, not worth it (IMO) for 1 SB.

    Searches: just search as per you normally would in Google, using the search boxes at the top of the page. But make sure they are 'proper' searches, ie. if you keep typing in loads and loads of words just to get the SB, it won't reward that type of behaviour.

    @dolphin - you can install the toolbar... it's worth doing as it automatically gives you a sb everyday you open the browser.

    Otherwise on the homepage, there's a search box at the top of the page and a green box to the right which says 'search the web and win'.

    Or along the blue navigation bar at the top, click on where it says 'earn'. On the drop down menu under there click on search and it will bring up the search page.

    It's not just for the 1 SB. You can watch SBTV from it in a little window and search directly from it which is very useful and helps with the earnings.
    I wouldn't be too concerned about security. Obviously it tracks which websites you visit but there's tracking cookies on the site too so it makes no difference really.

    I did have the toolbar installed when I first started using SB but I didn't seem to gain anything from it so I removed it.

    I only have 8 sb to go now, just keep earning via SB tv! *yawn*

    I do all my swagbuckling from Firefox, and keep Safari for my main surfing to get round the security issue.

    I now have 18 points to go, going round in circles on SBTV!

  • I just did a five minutes trusted survey on flood insurance for 75sb :) It got to 100% and kept going, it was 122% when I finished!
