Would be nice to hit the 29 day bonus, I imagine with the daily bonuses too, the end of the month would end up paying out a whole voucher worth of bucks in bonuses

Well the last few months they have given a 300 SB bonus plus the dailys if you hit your target every day of the month. Meaning around 540-550 'bonus' bucks around the 5th of the following month.

This month, with the team challenge, they have structured it differently. If your team wins (looks like the Zombies at the moment) you effectively get the same : 300 SB + the dailies as a bonus.

If your team loses (probably the Vampires, darn it!!) you will only get 280 SB + the dailies; meaning their "biggest bonus ever" results in half their users basically losing 20 Swag Bucks.

You might win yet, the zombies might die out before they can finish their tasks :rotfl:

Just got 48 swagbucks from a peanutlabs survey that literally asked for my name, email and date of birth before giving me my reward. Wow!

I've just been doing some calculations and it would seem to be an even bigger loss for those who normally get the goals 14 or 21 straight days in a row. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I'm a bit brain dead this time in the early hours) but here are a few examples:-

If you get 7 straight days you would normally get 25sb bonus
This month you would get 40sb on winning team or 30sb on losing team – a gain of 15 or 10 sb

If you get 14 straight days you would normally get 100sb bonus.
This month you get 40sb on winning team or 30sb on losing team – a loss of 60 or 70sb

If you get 21 straight days you would normally get 200sb bonus.
This month you get 150sb on winning team or 130 on losing team – a loss of 50 or 60 sb

If you get two lots of 7 consecutive straight days you would normally get 2 x 25sb bonus - 50sb.

This month you get 40sb or 30sb - a loss of 10 or 20 sb

If you get 7 consecutive days, don't hit target a couple of days the second week, then get 14 more consecutive days the third and fourth weeks, you would normally get 25sb + 100sb - total 125sb bonus.
This month you would get 150sb or 130sb - a gain of 25 or 5 sb

It would appear, therefore, that the team challenge will benefit mostly those who do not reach the goals on a regular basis (if someone gets their goal on 15 days but not consecutive, then they would not normally get a bonus, but this month would gain 40 or 30 sb).

Am I missing something here? Could someone else please check this out because to me it seems that either Swagbucks have got their figures wrong, or it is worse than I originally thought and is penalising most of us who try to earn our monthly bonuses

Hey Cath - glad you had a great time - it should hopefully be a low target tomorrow. I'm a bit numb right now after my post a few minutes ago - I hope someone can confirm or deny my figures because I am quite annoyed. Going to do a few games then off to bed
