Swagbucks Challenge May 2013

Admittedly, I only tried with Chrome on my phone. Use Chrome and Firefox on my PC. Not a bit fan of Safari! Glad to hear I'm not the only one having difficulties, janeken - thought I was going nuts!

Don't suppose anyone has a way of getting around mobile provider blocks? I think I've heard you can just ring up and confirm you are a genuine adult, but it's a bit embarrassing admitting what 'adult content' I want to access (and whether they'd believe me or not...!)!

Ah, do you mean the task instructions? I think I usually minimise those, whoops! Thanks for the clarification

Thanks ThriftyFelicity I hadn't realized that either.

I also earn on other sites such as SurveyMad which pays in $ but to convert it in paypal £ a fee is taken. So do you know if its best to convert to £ and then withdraw to your bank account, or is it possible to leave it as $ and withdraw it as $ to the bank or would the bank take more with the conversion.
Am trying to save up a bit in $ as well.
thanks

I always convert in Paypal to £ before withdrawing to the bank. I don't trust the banks not to charge some ridiculous fee to accept payment in $. At least with Paypal, you know before you exchange it exactly how much you will get. Paypal's fee is included in the exchange rate.

Here is another image showing the current exchange rate for US$50... so if Swagbucks paid us the same as the Americans, this shows what we'd get:

Thanks for the reply ThriftyFelicity
Ok so will build up some $ and convert into PayPal.

Shocking how much less we're gettin.

Just did the win an iPad or Samsung Galaxy tab offer on Sponsorpay for 41sb. Used my spam email address. You don't need to put in a phone number but you do need to put in your address which is OK for me because any junk mail doesn't get opened and just goes straight in the bin. There's about 7 pages where they try to get you to sign up for things - I clicked on 'no' for everything apart from a brochure for holidays in Pembrokeshire and one for Hull and East Yorkshire and it credited straight away

Same here. Swag weekends are a bit of a time waster...

I thought that's what you meant but I tried them and only got given 4 questions and didn't get paid!:mad:

You need to earn 20sb to get paid. So when you earn another 4sb (doesn't have to be today, it saves it) the whole 20sb will be credited.

I left mine on 16sb yesterday so today I only had to do one casino task at 4sb to get the 20sb, and it shows in your daily goal as the day it's credited.

A lot of the special offers that say 'no purchase required' actually do require a purchase of sorts and it's really annoying. Has anyone noticed that? I was filling in a survey and then came to a box asking if I wanted five free lotto lines. I said no, and the survey wouldn't let me progress until I chose yes. I decided not to bother with it because the small print talked about signing me up to a weekly thing.

I found one that wanted me to enter my mobile number and be charged £10 - for a credit of about 50sb.

I copied this from answered before Try searching for:

"mobile online casino" then

pick out "mobile casino action/play slots..........."

(Mine is always the first page first search hit every time, wish there were more ipad questions)

Credit goes to Coz93 as they answered originally. Thanks.

I did write it down to remember as well but don't have that on me. Sorry but don't know how to use the actual post from a different page.

I tried that, but it didn't work for me.

This worked! My picture said I had to search for "online casinos"

I was charged £1.50 by my bank (Santander) for buying in $, so I dread to think what they'd charge for converting :eek:

I buy a lot of body jewellery online from American sites (UK sites have a really bad selection) so I opened a paypal account in $. I get money from cashback sites in $ then spend em in $ so there's no conversion fee :j

However, to do this you do need an American address.
