  • Just got 7 sb for searching 'why is sb such utter crap'. Shame it was only 7sb, I'm miles off target at the moment.
  • I find that post a bit silly.

    I was explaining to someone at work about SBs, how much I'd earned and how much time it takes up. He told me I was an idiot and should just pick up some extra shifts and earn money that way.

    Unfortunately I can't work from the comfort of my bed, dressed in my PJs and eating chocolate bars. Nor can I pick and chose what 'tasks' I do. Or take a break whenever I feel like it.
  • fortunately I work in and around PCs all day so always have a browser open - I do SB partly to fill the time and to make a little on the side.
    Swagbucks:
    2012 = £225 (august onwards)
    2013 = £400 so far...

    DS on hot cereal products done, fairly quick but still not crediting, tried it in Chrome as firefox hasn't been crediting properly for me for a while.

    Hi can you let me know how you get on as I have had a couple not credited and it may be because I am using Firefox. Many Thanks xx
  • A second DS hasn't credited fo rme, I've done one in Chrome and one in Explorer. This one was on gas/electric tariffs.

    Do I really have to spend an eternity of SBTV now just to get target? :-(

  • Littlestar I did that one earlier and it took a few minutes to credit. Hope it comes through for you
  • Just noticed the following post on the Swagbucks UK Facebook page:

    "People would you take a job for £1.25 an hour? So why the f**k are you spending 20 minutes of your life completing surveys, which may or may not credit, for 70 measly swagbucks - the equivalent of 41p".

    I currently can't get a job so it's either work for £1.25 an hour or do nothing for £0 an hour :(
  • We know were working for peanuts, if we could earn more, around our life styles, im sure we would,why people feel to knock is beyond me
  • When I consider childcare rates, the cost of travel AND time taken to travel in conjunction with my wage, I was only earning £3.11 per hour working full time in a job I wasn't happy in. I'd much rather spend these valuable hours at home with my son instead of on a sweaty train or dealing with rude clients! Besides, I'm pretty sure no one using SB is using it as their main source of income.

    Hey i keep getting an email survey that ive yet to complete, states that you have to fill in a questionnaire giving your mobile number. Second part involves sending texts about brands and keeping a diary - reward 150 swbucks and a £10 voucher. Not keen anyone completed this offer, really interested as to what the £10 voucher is for, im guessing it for some obscure site i never use - any shed any light? ta
