    Just curious, does everyone cash out early or save their SB up to get a better rate?

    It really depends whether you are wanting vouchers or Paypal. I always have Amazon gift cards and cash out at £25 because there's no benefit at the moment in saving for higher amounts (a £5 card costs 825 sb, and if you multiply that by 5 then the £25 card is 4125 sb, which is the current price, and similarly with the higher denominations). It is worth saving up if you are wanting Paypal, though, because the rates are better for the higher amounts, although Paypal costs more than vouchers. I take the view (and I know a lot of others do) that with Amazon vouchers then it's better in my account than Swagbuck's, but really it's personal preference.

    (With Paypal I don't think it's worth saving up unless you are going for the £50 or £100 denominations)

    Cath, you need to accept that pop-up - you need to share your location or it won't work. If I remember correctly (it was a few days when I did this) you click on create a pin, then it gives you the option of different methods (I clicked on 'text'). You choose a team then type in a message (I just typed 'good luck'). You then need to post it by logging in with facebook. If you've shared your location, it should then tell you that the pin has been created and you should get the swagbucks. I had to do it in Firefox to get it to work for some reason

    I haven't been able to get this to work either, I can't find a category for it under the contact us area though.

    Have you tried doing it in Firefox? It wouldn't work for me with Chrome for some reason, but was OK in Firefox.

    Is there a way to get a better rate? When I looked at the amazon voucher they work out the same £ to points if you buy small or larger denominations.
    My first two were £25 & then 2 @£5 but only because I was worried the sale would end. Newbie of 6 weeks & since been told they are mostly on sale. Just cashed in £15. Think £15 or £25 is a good one to aim for. I like seeing my Christmas Amazon pot filling up :T

    It doesn't work for me in Chrome at least as I accidentally denied it my location & cannot undo that now. Maybe I could try it in another browser?

    I struggled with this for days but then reinstalled google chrome and it worked.

    Quick question can encrave and listen to the radio at the same time, aswell as doing other web work (have them both running in the background)?

    Tried it on firefox with no success, sent them an email so I can hopefully get this sorted out. With the possibility of an extra bonus for my trouble :beer:

    Paypal works out a lot better rate buying £100 rather than £5, it's just getting to that point will take a while. I'm willing to wait if my current rate stays on track I should be hitting £100 a month.
