    Would you mind nudging me in the right direction please? I don't think I get the whole code thing.

    The scrolling pictures/ad type things at the top of the homepage are quite interesting to look at ;)

    Ok, I have a few questions for you all. I'm sorry if these have been answered before.

    - Has anyone actually managed to trick - ahem, introduce - any friends to SB and earn referral points? Is it worth it? I don't want to be that annoying person but I also don't want to be down an easy £25 amazon voucher...

    - Ok, this one is kind of ethical, and I don't want to be a downer but... do you feel bad getting points off genocide petitions? It kinda irks me. It also makes me wonder how valid Google results are (for search terms like Ken Fisher...) and petition signs.

    - Has anyone actually been that lucky hourly winner? Lol.

    - Has anyone won anything on the competitions?

    - What's the most SB you've earned in a day? Just curious.

    - Finally, Is it worth signing upto that other site - Hulkpoints, or something, either instead of or as well as SB?

    You have raised some very interesting points.

    Yes it does irk me too when i see anything to do with charity for swagbucks, i don't bother with it, unless it's to donate.

    I don't do the tasks so can't comment.

    Never entered a comp because the americans always win them.

    The most bucks i've earned in a day was 800 odd without a purchase from an offer wall.

    I know you can only do one daily survey per day (completed for 70SB max) but can you do as many trusted surveys as you qualify for? Only just seen the post above (the list one) and it seems to read as one trusted survey per day?

    Also, I just cashed out for 2 x £5 Amazon vouchers and I received them within an hour, so might be a good time to redeem if you want them now (no guarantees of course!).

    A lot of the survey's will be released to multiple sites, so if you do surveys a lot on other sites you might not get too many on SB. I tend to stick to SB for surveys, though I do others on MySurvey, Ipsos, and Valued Opinions. Things like daily searches and videos are available on most sites and I do most of them. SB is kinda the main site I use, but I get £5 a month from GiftHulk just from watching video's, web searches, and the daily key's; it might not be much, but it all adds up.

    SB seems to process their amazon vouchers on a thursday - I sometimes get one processed on other days, but usually I find I get all my weeks vouchers on a Thursday.

    Sorry, just read the first part of your post - you can only do one Daily Survey (the big calendar icon on the home screen wall) per day, but there is no limit to the number of trusted surveys or Peanut Labs surveys you can do - if they show up then go for them as you will get DQ'd from about 50% of them.

    no, we're with BT and I was also DQ'd :(
  • More tips:
    - always check your mail and select the videos, they can be used once a day unless stated I think, and the offers if they interest you.

    - NOSO, daily poll and toolbar with some searches. A few extra per day which will add up over time.

    - Check the front page often and scroll down for potential sb's

    - Log out of every visit to ensure you are not selected for the 'Hourly random winner'. Check this often when logged on.

    - a couple of DON'Ts: don't purposely go against their rules, i.e attempting more trusted surveys/videos for more sb's as they may find out and suspend your account.

    Don't accept/click on offers unless you have read the terms and conditions and are happy with them, Swagbucks are usually true to what they say, and don't give spam links or hidden terms.
    However potential spam emails and personal address/ credit card details may be handed to third parties when you have completed offers from the link so be vigilant.


    Don't go crazy and try to earn sb's by trying to do everything, (I wanted to do this at the start lol) most offers are still there the next day so pace yourself, and the sb's will add up.

    Happy earning everyone!

    @ sammyz1 I know what you mean about the urge! I am a crazy saver and would rather get best value for money lol

    @Happi That sounds great lol spoil yourself from now on!

    @miwa No problem, I love that I can help others as I got the motivation to start Swagbucks from here!

    @katykicker, I am sorry I meant only the daily surveys are limited to one, I will edit that, you are right ignore me!:o

It also makes me wonder how valid Google results are (for search terms like Ken Fisher...) and petition signs. I agree. I feel bad about gaining from the baby formula videos. I make up for my guilt by sending some of my paypal cash to an orphanage I support :)

    - Has anyone actually been that lucky hourly winner? Lol. Yes. Cally who started this thread has :)

    - Has anyone won anything on the competitions? Someone on here won a great prize about three weeks ago..maybe a gaming system?

    - What's the most SB you've earned in a day? Just curious.

    See the answers above. :)
