    I now am only a few points off a £5 paypal voucher, I am not sure if to carry on for £10 or take out at £5. There are 100 points saving on the £10 (it can take alot of effort to get 100 points), however someone mentioned it is best to take out in £5 lots?

    What would everyone recommend I do, this will be my first payout.

    Thanks

    If it is your first payout then maybe cash out now, you may have to go through an account verification and a lot of people are now finding that the mobile phone way doesn't work,so you have to wait for a postcard with a PIN number coming in the post. can take a week to ten days, but you will be earning in the meantime towards your next payment.

    sorry to be a pain everyone but I am trying to complete a crowdflower task. I had to do a search in google and record what happened. There is a box to tick to say I have done it, which I have but it keeps saying "I must to go to the site by searching for it" - i have :mad:

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have always thought that its worth carrying on until the £10 paypal as it saves you some sbs. I try not to leave more than £25 value on sb now not from a lack of confidence point of view but just because I like to see my paypal balance increase!

    Mine did exactly the same! I went back on the website but still no luck so I just left it - disheartened! Only on 5SW for the day and no surveys happening tonight :(

    Well done to lost and mark, how long did it take you to achieve that?

    Thank you, i've been trying to get £30 a month from sb and I'm well on course for that. I'm not sure I can keep up that pace though as its tough without surveys and sbtv is so brain numbing - my brain doesn't need much more numbing as it is :rotfl:

    I only had to confirm by email?

    I've just done a survey on footwear that's meant to be for 75sb (I think) taking 8 mins, but it's stuck on the last page and won't go back or load forward, or even reload the page (my last resort after about half an hour, lol). Anyone else had it and did it do the same for you?

    EDIT: Finally managed to reload the page after trying about ten times... it said I wasn't able to do it, but it gave me 1SB. Well thankyou, but I'd already completed the survey you b***ard. :L

    It's not you - it means the task's broken. Try complaining on crowdflowers support forum - https://getsatisfaction.com/crowdflower -
    with your Contributor ID & Job ID (if known) - found under the 'help' menu (between give up & the messages icon & under the bar showing accuracy, tasks completed, amount banked etc.) + name of task and what isn't working. If you'll lucky, you'll (eventually) get a bonus, but it might not go to swagbucks, if you set another site as your favourite/preferred one on your crowdflower dashboard.

    Oh no, can you copy the link and paste into another browser maybe?
    If you haven't done a one time account verification (different to the usual order verification) then it may happen in the future as I think everyone has to do it at some point. did mine last November after being a member for 3 years but the mobile phone text PIN was working for most people then.
