Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

bah to the above. (eta:swagbucks threatening to make things more complicated/difficult not your posts)
yay to getting this earlier

haven't had a win like this for ages.

The way i see it is the power earners are the ones doing all the surveys which make all the money, so lets make it harder for them, way to go swagbucks!

Then we have the light users who watch SBTV and play a few games, lets make it easier for them??????

I can't see any logic here.

I think this would make my life even harder as my average is typically higher than the target. What d'you think?

OTOH, if the daily bonus is still 10% of the target, then you benefit from higher targets (as long as the target is attainable, of course). Suppose you typically get 200 a day : when daily target is 70, you only get 7 bonus points, but when it's 150, you get 15 extra. The higher the target, the better.

And ....... referrals NO longer count towards your daily goal

arrgh at Say "Yes" or "No" for Long Questions (3) crowdflower task (doing the tasks over at surveymad for the cash) - why are you telling me I picked the wrong answer when I chose the answer you're insisting I should've picked?:mad::mad:

Also that transcribe the wine label task wants far too much work for it's tiny payout.

eta: and now they've kicked me out again from rating the questions because I haven't matched enough of their wrong answers.

While you are completely right, personally I would rather sacrifice the few extra bucks not to have the stress of a 150 target every day :eek:

It does seem a stupid way to drive your main users to other sites which either cut out the middleman (the survey sites) or the competing hub sites which offer daily targets like Zoombucks, Gifthulk etc.

I mean, there isn't one thing that you can get at Swagbucks which you can't get elsewhere and often for less effort/reward. You might need to add one or two other sites you your earning mix but for a better reward and less messing around making things worth - has to be a no-brainer.

My average across the last 5 days has been 184 bucks, but on 3 days I earned significantly less than that and wouldn't have stood a chance of hitting 184 as there was nothing available for me to do. I'm doomed!

There's no logic in it at all happi. Have they not thought this through? Everyone is complaining because of the lack of surveys and offers that credit. They have a loyal membership who put up with this and do their best to get the daily goals and in doing so earn more money for Swagbucks. So now what they say is let's raise the target so the higher earners have to spend even more time jumping through hoops to get the higher target and the ones who are just happy to watch SBTV, play games, and do searches will find it easier to get bonuses. I'm not begrudging anyone their swagbucks and bonuses, but all this will do is to alienate the so-called 'power users' who will move to other sites and to leave Swagbucks with having to pay out more in bonuses to the lower earners and it turn Swagbucks won't earn as much income. To me this is sheer lunacy.

Why have Swagbucks not posted about the new goals on the US Facebook site? Is this just for the UK?
