    Has anyone ever cashed out 17,999 SBs for the big £100 Paypal? I'm only really looking to get cash out of SwagBucks and am aiming for this one as it is most cost effective, but I'm a tad worried about some of the stories floating around of people's accounts having mysterious issues with points when trying to redeem, and of course the risk of keeping points in an online site that can go under at any point.

    Do people aim for the big ones or just do regular small reward redemptions in case?

    Quick question, I noticed at the beginning of this thread someone mentioned that watching SBTV too much could get you banned?

    I tend to gain a lot of SB through watching SBTV as i have it on in the background at work and also in the evenings. I'm just a bit worried now if I do it too regularly (atm i pretty much run SBTV Throughout the day/early evening constantly) my SB will be taken/i will be banned!

    If anyone can shed some light I would be grateful!

    I get to the £25 paypal and then cash out but I think others cash out lower, the most I've heard someone say they cash out is £50

    majority go for smaller amounts i think, personally £25 is my limit, i know a lot of people lost out when a similar site went under last year

    Hi

    I did this at the beginning of the year and am about 2000 off my second, it's taken a lot longer this time so I think I might do the smaller cash outs next time. It's quite satisfying when you get to the £100 mark though! But I do understand peoples hesitation, particularly given whats happened to other sites and how much harder swagging is becoming.

    How much is too much? I think I may need to cut down.
    Wonder if the same would apply if I played too many games?
