gonna try my best to stack up some today starting balance 389 SB, what is gifthulk your talking about is that another site?

Yes, GiftHulk is another GPT site. There are many others... my favourite is Neobux, which pays much more than Swagbucks for tasks, offers, surveys, etc. (eg, casino tasks pay 4SB, about 3.6ȼ on Swagbucks, whereas Neobux pays 8.8ȼ for the same task).

Check out the multi-sites earning thread, at the moment I am doing a comparison of the different offerwalls to see where the best place to complete offers is. There is also a Crowdflower task comparison post.

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?

I have a sort-of related question actually: when you redeem Swag Bucks for a giftcard, eg. Amazon or Paypal voucher, does the voucher then expire any time? I once got an electronic Amazon gift card applied to my Amazon account that expired 1 year after it was sent to me, so I was wondering if there could be a similar problem when redeeming Swag Bucks Rewards?

Amazon giftcards have a good couple of years before expiry. Don't know about paypal.

Do you like surveys? That is another way to earn a bit extra. Also, if you have the opportunity to join online panels, this can bring in a bit as well.

If you like doing tasks (some are really easy, like the casino tasks), that can bring in a bit. I've made $400 at Neobux from tasks alone in less than four months.

i have joined a ton of survey sites i used martins top 20 survey sites they seem to mostly pay amazon vouchers and some have caps are like £20 and £10 and it seems hard to even get them.

i mostly find surveys to be very furstrating although on plus side time consuming but normally poor payouts / conversion.

i have joined the digital trends panel they say £15 for first month then also surveys which pay instantly all that ive done and never been paid, im mostly interested in cold hard cash even if small amounts

cheers to previous person asking about amazon vouchers i was curious about that myself as i would be more than happy to save up the amazon vouchers to buy something proper rather than getting 10 quid and rushing to spend it.

Any help is welcome as im due a rubbish summer with no money

I can't remember if this has been posted before, but there's a trusted survey for 50sb that wants you to fill out a car insurance quotation and then join some kind of research panel (I think it's number 230356). The survey company says that it will undertake a credit search. I clicked out of this straight away. According to Experian, insurance companies can undertake a credit enquiry to see if you can afford the monthly payments for a policy, and this just leaves a 'soft footprint' on your credit file which only you can see. I have two issues with this - firstly we are not requesting a quote, it's the research company that are demanding that we have a quote, and secondly sometimes you actually sign a credit agreement for paying insurance premiums monthly and I don't trust them not to undertake a full credit search which can affect your credit rating. I think this is a gross misuse of personal information and for 50sb (29p) there's no way that they're going to do any kind of credit search on me. I've raised this with Nick (Swagbucks UK) on Facebook

Totally agree with you Paul, I clicked out straight away too - they can't be serious for 50sb. Thanks again for raising it with 'the powers that be' on our behalf.

I've just cashed out 2 Paypal vouchers this morning, on the site it says can take upto 14 days from being verified.

Anybody know from experince if it takes that long to hit your paypal account
