  • Is anyone else having problems getting the casino tasks to register their site visits? Usually happens on the odd one but must have happened at least 4 times this morning :mad:

    Let's say it's a cosmetics survey:

    MAC -> Toluna -> Swagbucks -> User

    Really, it'd make more sense to do the survey at Toluna and get maybe 50p for your trouble, instead of 50 swagbucks which are actually worth about 8p (each SB is worth 0.6 p). In a way, them being absolute barstools forces you (or allows you) to do the original survey at Toluna (or wherever).

    But then again you miss daily targets... which loses you 300 SBs a month, say, which is about 50p.

    What's most enraging is that SB get paid anyway...

    If each SB is worth 0.6p and you get 50SBs that's 30p not 8p. That also makes 300SBs = £1.80. Don't forget though that you don't just get 300SBs as a bonus you get the daily bonus as well. Last month I believe it was 540SBs and that's £3.24 not 50p.

    I've found that although I do surveys on other sites I get extra surveys on Swag Bucks.

    At the moment there aren't many surveys around anywhere from any sites. It's just picking up again after Christmas. You also have to bear in mind that people actually have to commission commission the surveys before any of these survey companies can offer them to Swag Bucks.

    I don't find it enraging that Swag Bucks gets paid. I'd rather they did well and went from strength to strength so that we can continue to earn. I've heard other people complain about sites making money from people like us but don't forget, it takes a good business brain and a huge amount of technical effort to set up and run these sites. They have to make a profit or go down the pan. I wouldn't want to do the hours and hours of work involved in starting and running a site like Swag Bucks. I'm retired. I'd rather take the easy option and complete a few surveys or watch videos without the worry or effort involved in running a business.

    Of course if you can earn more money from other sites then it's your choice. I get less surveys on Swag Bucks because sometimes I've already done them and been paid more elsewhere. I still get the target every day though and earn a useful £30 from Swag Bucks.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:
  • Hi, I've just checked for the code and it says swagstakes, what does that mean, it doesn't work as a code, is there a clue somewhere, I can't see anything on the swagstakes page? I don't think that was the code as it says invalid rather than expired. thanks
