Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

Wonder if that "new targets" was just for UK people or across the site
Hmm, wonder what the USA people think of it

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:

Yeah. The other thing is that it would be an incentive to stop as soon as you reach the daily target. If the target is a moving average of recent scores, then going far beyond it will pull the average up for the next few days. Stopping at or slightly over will have less effect..

Just wondering if it's better to just take a day off completely from time to time - missing by a mile would pull the average down, but only just missing it means you get no bonus, but you don't reduce the average either. But then you do also lose the bonus for reaching the target every day.

I notice they keep taking the post off facebook while they doctor the replies!!!!

This has really p!!sed me off no end, it will be the so called power earners subsidising the low earners come the monthly bonus.

Swagbucks UK it will be fair and it will be a test. if it doesn't work then it wont be retained. we are not trying to penalise those that work harder, don't worry..

Oh so now we are just lab rats?

Edit: LMAO Someone just asked if they are conservatives

spat my tea all over the screen.

Then they'll banninate the users who just use SBTV and with the power users gone elsewhere - no UK users, at least those who last for long.

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.

it is idiocy. and the offers usually credit on there far better too. swagbucks is the only site where nearly every offer has to be ticketed.

there are lots of options if it does go tits up tho... inbox pounds for one. clixsense will pay you $1-$1.80 for the same surveys. there are often more vids etc on other sites. the reason i have stayed with SB is that it is easier to put most energy into one site. that and habit.
i have been exploring others for a while and am earning on slicethepie, dooyoo, zoombucks and inbox. if i put the same time into any of these then i would earn the same as SB.
there is no point being loyal to a site that just changes the rules all of the time with no regard for how its bigger earners feel. stupid.

been a lot of controlling communication recently

It violates all sense. They're going to lose big users and once you lose such a customer it is very hard to get them back while the little earners are not going to make up the difference.
