Did anyone else get the 400 song Songpeople survey? :mad: It's so long but I'm stubborn and have been persevering... not even 50% through! Keeping it open in a separate tab since there's no way this can be done in one sitting.

Yesterday that told me it was now full, hope you manage to finish it but it does advise at the beginning that if it closes before you finish that you won't get the credit. So I would rush it through if I was you.

According to the message they posted, which was posted a few pages back, we will get the vouchers in time to order something for Christmas. So hopefully they will come quite prompt. I have noticed that the ones Swagbucks send were always purchased a few days before so hopefully they'll stock up ready and it'll just be the usual few days to wait.

Also, to the person asking, daily surveys can be done 5 times per day. This was officially posted a while back, as there was some confusion, I've done 5 per day and successfully cashed out a few times since

With regard to the timing of the bonuses being credited in December and the Amazon vouchers, I have asked the question on Facebook:-

Me - "Nick, with regard to the Amazon voucher sale, I notice that it's on the same day as the monthly bonuses would normally be credited. If i remember correctly, this month the bonuses did not get posted to our accounts until after midnight on the 5th (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). If that happens in December then we won't be able to use the bonus points towards the Amazon vouchers on sale as the offer ends at midnight on 5th December (I assume the blog refers to our time and not US time). Can you please confirm that the bonuses will be credited on this occasion before midnight our time (normally it doesn't matter what time they are credited, but on this occasion it could mean the difference between someone getting a voucher on sale or not). Many thanks"

Nick's reply - Swagbucks UK "cant confirm that paul i'm afraid, but will try to find out..."

Me - "Thanks Nick - I'm sure you can appreciate the importance of them being credited before midnight on this one occasion"

I'll keep everyone posted if I get any further news

I got offered it but didn't qualify, I have never qualified for one yet, was hoping I would get this one, didn't plan on finishing it but just wanted to see what they are like.

They are usually around 20-30 songs if I recall... not 400! This one is pretty insane, I've only done a couple before but not this length. I like when I get the shorter ones since they're easy to do but more often than not I get screened out.

I got my first ever Amazon e-Gift Card recently. Ordered on 14/11/2013 and it arrived 19/11/2013. It can vary though, I think it says it should take within 10 business days on the Rewards page.

I'm going to work on the assumption we will not get the bonus in time to claim the gift vouchers. I'm a bit cynical but I'm convinced they've put this time slot for a reason. Would love to be proved wrong.

Worked out that I'd need to get 342sb a day between now and 5th December to get the £50 voucher. Think its more likely I'll be going for the £25 one on that basis.

I'm afraid that's what I was thinking too, which is why I asked the question. I'm a bit peeved that they haven't included the lower denomination vouchers as well, but of course it does mean that people will have to work harder to earn enough swagbucks to get a £25 voucher which in turn will make more money for Protege. I think they also want to try to promote the other gift cards (especially the new ones) because they're not as popular as Amazon and PayPal

Just a heads up that I've had an email, that seems at first sight to be reasonably genuine from PayPal, asking me to 'activate' my account. However, it's from PayPall not PayPal and the link seems to be to some Eastern European website. I'd hate for anyone to lose their hard-earned money by being taken in by these scammers
