    When do they put your daily goals up? Mine's at 105 (second goal) and I've earned over 250 today...does this mean it'll hike up for tomorrow???

    Not really. If you were earning way more than your goal every day for 3 or 4 days in a row, it might jump up, but it shouldn't drastically go up tomorrow.
  • Thanks to the toilet tissue survey I have reached target 2 too :D
    Making up for my missed days & monthly bonus I will not be getting much of this month!

    Hi guys ... Might sound silly but here goes

    I have hit enough points for my first voucher and was going to order amazon ... From what I can gather the code will appear in my gift viucher section ?
    Question is can I just let these mount up until Christmas and use several to pay for one item ?

    Told you it will sound silly (I have used amazon before but never any gift codes ☺️)

    Likewise, just had one on investments, so only about 25 to 2nd goal now.

    Good luck with the second goal - that shouldn't take too long now :) I'm just doing a few rounds of encrave to get me to mine

    I would add it to your Amazon account as soon as it appears in your gift card section - don't leave it in your Swagbucks voucher section. It's just a code that you enter into the gift card part of your Amazon account. The current ones don't have an expiry date until around 2023 so you have plenty of time to spend them. When you want to buy something, it will ask you if you want to use your gift card balance - you don't have to use it all, so if you have, say, £50 balance and something only costs £20, then the remaining £30 will simply be left on the balance so you can use it to buy other things. You can add the voucher code to your Amazon account by signing into your account, hover your mouse cursor over your name and choose 'Your Account' then 'Apply a Gift Certificate to Your Account' - then just copy and paste the code. Hope that helps

    what is encrave??

    Encrave is part of the Prodege group of companies that own Swagbucks and lets you earn SB by watching previews of videos. If you click on Discover the Encrave, it will open in another tab. Basically it's just watching 20 videos and you get 3 sb for doing this. When it's opened in the new tab, you will see 'Discovery Mode' in the top left hand corner which is greyed out. Click in the box next to it so that it's ticked. Now all you have to do is let the videos run. After each one has played it will tick off on the list down the left hand side. When all 20 videos have played you will get a pop-up to tell you that you have earned 3sb, and you can start all over again. You do need to keep your mouse cursor on the page, though, or the videos will play but not move on. Just occasionally for some reason it doesn't credit but I would say 95% of the time you will get the 3sb. Be careful if you get any pop-ups telling you to update Flash or Java - do not click on them as they will infect your computer with malware. Hope that explanation helps, but shout if you need to know anything else :)

  • I there guys, very new user here. I have become unemployed for the first time in my life so could do with any advice that you more experienced guys could offer. I am very much looking for a job and hope to have one in the very near future. However, I have two small children and I do not like living off benefits so any way to supplement my pitiful income would be brilliant!

    I have just signed up to Swagbucks and have got 152SB on my first full day but have no idea if this is a good amount or not?

    Also any other similar site ideas would be awesome!

    Encrave is just a method of earning swagbucks. You will find it under the 'Discover' tab.

    When you open up the Encrave page, you will see a list of videos down the left hand side.

    You should see a little grey box with a cross in it. You need to change this cross into a tick by clicking on it.
    It will then turn from grey to green.

    This has now put Encrave into automatic run through mode.

    Now if you want to leave that page but still get the credit for running the videos, there is a special way of leaving the page. You have to press Ctrl + Tab, so Ctrl first, then tab while you still have ctrl held.
    You will know if you have done it right as you will jump into a new window.

    You then let encrave run for 10 - 15 minutes.

    Go back into encrave after the required time and you should see a box with some writing in it and a green box on the right hand side near the top.
    The Green Box will have in it 'Keep Craving'. Click that box to start the list of videos again but remember to change the cross to a tick and to tab out as above.

    If you go to check that encrave is running properly at anytime, don't forget the tab out instructions every time.

    There are a couple of weird things that happen with it from time to time, but if they happen, just post in here and someone will get back to you.
