I am just about to claim my fifth voucher of the month making it £25 for me. :j

Best Ive ever done as usually I make about £15 a month.

Have managed every days target so far this month (thanks to all help on this thread) and get right annoyed if something comes up to stop me getting my daily swagbucks fix.

Even writing that makes me feel like a saddo!

Then I'm an even more of a saddo than you! I've got the target for the last 5months and on course for my 6th

My aim is £50 paypal per month. Not sure I wll be able to do it will give it a go as £100 pp is taking me about 2months.

I think I spend all day on here

And to further my post, I was using this mostly for paypal as had some cashflow issues. But they are sorted now, mainly from ot at work but this helped.

Now I am going to do what most people do. Get amazon vouchers. And for someone who always feels a bit guilty treating themselves, or even others, on media like games or blu rays, this will be a nice wee way of treating guilt free!

aye for people who are housebound or have a limited income this can be a really useful way to top things up. i have bought things that i could never have afforded due to swagbucks. yes as an hourly rate it would be dire but i don't see it like that. i am online anyway so i use the time and multitask. for people living on crappy benefits or in a min wage job then it could make a hell of a difference to somebody's life.

i have been talking to swagbucks nick about this and it seems there are a fair few on here with life limiting illnesses. I have gone into a bit of detail with him about how swagbucks helps me and also my daughter. i bet my story is similar to others. i use swagbucks to earn "extras" for my child and to advance my training to be a fully fledged luthier. it also distracts me from chronic pain. it can be time consuming but i don't really mind that as i say i am online anyway.
one day when/if my health stabilises i will go fully self employed and sell my violins and harps etc. i expect that i will still do swagbucks even then
there is a lot about SB that drives me bonkers ie when there are few surveys or offers do not credit but on the whole i find it invaluable. i have also learnt a lot about gonads.

I'm the same - practically housebound and happy to be able to earn some extras from swagbucks. It distracts me from pain, major depression and anxiety. I would never treat myself to things but with this i have managed to get myself a samsung tablet, various books and craft items. Am now saving for a new sewing machine which hopefully will allow me to work from home when i'm able

I just did a PopulusLive survey on the Lib Dems and I got this

DQ'd because in the first screen they asked me to put my postcode with no space (ST51XD) and the last one they asked it with a space (ST5 1XD)....

Can't express my anger. Lib Dems cocked it up again.....

You are very lucky earning the hourly wage that you do and I don't for a minute doubt that you work hard for it but there are many people who do swagbucks who are earning much less an hour or unable to work for various reasons.

Swagbucks gives these people (myself included) a chance to earn a little extra to make what we do have go a little further.

I agree......it would be a waste of your time.

I also agree with you. I do this in the evening whilst wacthing tv or run sbtv whilst doing my college work. It's pocket money to me really since I've had 2 paycuts in the last 12 months.

I agree with a lot of people here - I have fibromyalgia and have difficulties getting around. I never completed my education because of it so I can't get a job... or go to college and take a catch-up course (which is what I really want to do). Swagbucks helps me pay for birthday/Christmas presents ect. that I couldn't have otherwise bought.

No M....does that make a difference ?

I've noticed an adblocker tends to make vids run smoother (they play right away instead of having to press play, no interruptions for ads even though I put it on mute anyway). If that isn't the cause of your problem with the bot thing, I would recommend you try it anyway... it just makes it 10 times less annoying
