    I get the £15 Amazon gift cards (although last time I got the £25 one). Still an attainable target that can be achieved fairly quickly (IF things credit that is...) And is a better value than the £5. I am beginning to wonder if I should just cut my losses and cash out at £5 until I'm out of points.

    There is only a 9 point total difference between the £15 and £25 if you look at the points per pound, so really not worth waiting for the bigger one in my opinion. There's a 40 something point total difference between the £5 and £15, so big difference.

    If I could get more stinking surveys it worth waiting!
    What would everyone here do? I am taking Martin's advice to hand, and I'll be getting Amazon gift cards, regardless. Everywhere else I use I always cash out at the lowest.

    I did this one earlier and it credited instantly for me, the id was 1242150 - I assume it will be the same for everybody?

    On a lucky streak this morning, got 176 already. :)

    Where does it say on the website about doing more than one ds? I couldn't see it anywhere, thats good news as long as the goals don't go up too much.
    I couldn't find it advertised anywhere, but if you look at Q&A under How many surveys can I take per day? the reply is there is no limit.

    Sorry I've not been contributing much to the forum recently.

    There's never been anything specific in the do's and don'ts about how many 'daily' surveys can be taken - there used to be a little information icon at the side of the daily survey link on the homepage which specifically stated that only one could be completed per day. Today's announcement was made on Swagbucks Facebook page -

    https://www.facebook.com/SwagbucksUK/posts/739681576048792

    There's a bit of a discussion going on about the news on Facebook. Swagbucks UK say that this won't affect the availability of surveys, but we'll see

  • Finally a DS and credited after a minute. On politics and EU.

    So if there now saying you can do as many as you like, it's a bit pointless seeing as there isn't enough to go around for a person to do one DS per day. I struggle to get a DS and I'm on most days for a decent length of time. I mean on the FB page over the past year that kept posting they was working to get more survey companies on board and surveys for us, but we have seen less and less because the number of members have increased and no sign of more surveys. I agree, will be higher targets for sure now.

    Well, I've just tested the daily surveys and it allowed me to do two of them using the home page card before the card disappeared. The first one was a Brain Juicer survey. Started in Chrome and it wouldn't open in a new window, so copied and pasted the URL into Firefox and it let me continue. It was glitchy and at the end it didn't take me back the the congratulations screen, but it still credited. The second one was about Sky and had to download an addon in Chrome. That too was very glitchy and long, but it did credit also. It does say that the extension (Zoom Tool) has been disabled at the end of the survey, but it doesn't. You have to manually go into extensions in chrome and delete it

    I take Martin Lewis's advice and ALWAYS cash out at the lowest possible amount. With these companies, there is a high chance they could go bust and you would not get your money. I think I'll stick to taking the expert's advice, in terms of Amazon vouchers which is what I usually take- it's barely a noticable difference.

    Yes I agree I do the same. I have lost money before at other sites because they went bust and I had been building up my earnings instead of just cashing out as soon as possible. So now I always cash out as soon as I am able to.
    Only keep in Swagbucks what you are prepared to lose if something did go wrong.
    I also go for the the Amazon Gift Cards most of the time as they are the best value.
    Just ordered 2x £5 Amazon Gift Cards today and they usually come through fairly quickly.
    I just love the £5 Amazon Gift Cards they are easy to reach.
