Is it definitely only the first goal we have to reach to get the consecutive days bonus?

Just checking as I've reached both bonuses so far this month but wont today.

Yes, it's only the first goal that counts - I'm struggling to get that today

has anyone had more than 1 search in a day lately? I used to get 2 and sometime 3 search wins a day and now I'm lucky if I get one!

I get 3 most days. So far today I've got 2 x 12sb. I usually search first thing in the morning, in the evening and last thing at night. It may take awhile, but I just do searches I would do on Google anyway and the reward pops up eventually..

WOW £15 in a week??? I've just cached out my 3rd £5 amazon and I've been at it months. Took about 2 months for first, 1 month for 2nd and just a week and half for another.

I need another £10 before xmas (oh wants something off amazon and as I don't work this is only way I have to secretly getting him a pressie) so I need to work at it and try get to it...its a good incentive.


I have had 2 search wins today....12 and 11.... only ever once got 3 and that was when it was bats vs cats and a lot of help from the message board.

Good luck in getting your £10 before xmas! Are you close??

If I wanted to order something for xmas... when do people think I need to have order my voucher?.. How long do they take?

Thank you

It should only take about 5 working days. You've done really well with your earnings. It does become a bit obsessive - I've been doing it nearly 18 months now. It really depends on how much time you're willing to spend sat in front of the computer and if you can keep your sanity when things don't credit etc., but it's definitely worth it.

Thank you for the tip. Yeah in my case I'm sat at a computer anyway, but that's also a bad thing because I've been getting too distracted, can't really afford to do that Plus I do think I am losing my sanity a bit (not that I had much to lose :rotfl:).

In the past I've gotten addicted to online MMO games which also are repetitive but reward you every so often so I gotta be careful lol. Need to chill out & maybe just reach daily goals then pull myself away. :doh:

I definitely had to spend a lot of time though so I wouldn't recommend it.... It's probably the equivalent of more than an average persons week in terms of time spent on the site. :eek: Definitely not gonna be able to keep that up. :rotfl:

When I first joined there was the double Swagbucks on the SBTV area so I did that a lot! I also got bonuses for filling in profile info as a new user etc.

It gets harder later as less and less things are open to you. CrowdFlower for example have set me to "Accuracy Too Low" on some things, its finicky... e.g. it kept saying "You picked Partial (general sentiment) when the correct answer was Partial" and the only 3 options to pick had been "Yes, Partial (general sentiment), No". And of course there's others where the correct answer is a matter of opinion but you get penalised anyway... I wish the Accuracy rating reset or they let you do a Test to improve it.

I'm sure you can get the £10! I'll be rooting for you! :T

The crowdflower tasks can be a nightmare - often they're either broken, don't make sense or, even though your answers are correct, you are marked as being wrong. Their support system is hopeless as well. The only ones I do are what's called 'casino tasks'. They come out usually at 10.30pm and are called 'give constructive feedback about a website' but you have to be mega-quick to get them as there aren't many available. The Ryanair tasks are also quite good if you ever see those
