I love how some people who moan about swagbucks are embraced here, yet not others...... :cool:

Anyway... PL probably know there is big competition now so priced accordingly.

I try not to moan - since joining Swagbucks last July I have always been positive. Even when we had the lean period over Christmas and the New Year I was saying 'things will get better - let's just wait'. I am just being realistic. I will continue to be positive towards the company if it picks up.

I agree that there is a lot of competition - all of the survey companies have reduced their level of payments on the walls. Of course all businesses want to maximise their profits and will adjust prices according to market demand. Our hands are tied - we can either carry on or walk away. I personally will carry on until such times as I feel that it is not worth my time or effort. I do this for fun - I am actually doing something worthwhile rather than just sitting at the computer playing stupid games or sitting watching TV.

We do embrace positive and negative posts on this thread - it's important to do so. That's why there are 'thank you' buttons. Some people have particularly strong views about certain subject matters and I for one welcome all views as it makes for a much more lively and interesting thread. We all have our opinions and I believe that it's great that by expressing those opinions, be it good or bad, we have an outlet rather than just keeping things to ourselves.

I would like to think that we are all here to help each other, be it those who contribute on a regular basis or those who find that they prefer to speak up once in a while. I get pleasure from helping others and I hope that everyone else on this thread does too.

Now if only I could get a 250sb Trusted Survey ..........

Toolbar code???

2SBs.....

ETA - never actually done one of them before. I'm easily confused.

hmmm I tried it but it says invalid code:(

I'm a bit nervous about saving up for a £25 AGC again but if I cash them in at £5 I tend to just buy a book or some music. If I save for £25 I buy something half decent (like the recent panini maker which is due to arrive tomorrow!)

(I know you can leave them in your Amazon account but I can't wait!)

Click on the code box on the toolbar then click again - it should then show 'copied'. Go to where you input the code and then instead of right clicking and pasting, click in the box then press Ctrl and the V key. That's the only way it would accept for me

pps lol

apparently there are some PL surveys on inbox pounds ranging from £1.30 - £4.50

Two there for me, the 75p one said the survey was not suitable for me despite passing the qualifiers and the 38p said they had filled quota. Both then reappeared and did the same again. Not having much luck with Inbox £ at the moment!

Click on the "Check for Swag Code" box on the toolbar until it says "copied" then paste into the code box

I know what you mean - and £25 looks better than lots of £5 ones. It's a little different for me because I'm saving up for one large item so I know I can't touch them. I couldn't redeem for PayPal because I know it would just get frittered away.
