    Yeah, my 7day bonus is 25sb and my 31day bonus is 300sb. I naively assumed the goals didn't move. Silly me! Does anyone know if the bonuses (the 7day, 14day, 21 day and 31day) get higher too with the increased goals?

    Nope. But you get more daily bonus if your goals go higher. For example, in July I hit all my daily goals (although some days I go for the 2nd goal of around 400 and sometimes I just skip it) and I had 300 bonus and then a 600 bonus from dailies.

    Thanks for the clarification! My second goal today is 190sb so I'll probably get to that one. I may well start ignoring the second goal if it gets much higher though. My goal is around the 140sb for a day and then I can get £25 of Amazon vouchers per month.

    Yes - it is really out of proportion sometimes how much extra work you have to put in for a meagre bonus if you try to hit 2nd target. Let's say you have a second target of 400 and your first was only 120, to try and force yourself to get another 280 just to get maybe an extra 28 SB is totally not worth it (after all you can earn that easily the next day, or whenever).

    My mantra is, if you have time to try 2nd target and are happy to do it, do. If not, forget it!

    So yesterday I submitted a thingy about the swimming survey, and got two emails back, one saying I'd have to wait 4-6 weeks to see if it credits then another saying they've credited it. If anyone needs the survey number I still have it x

    I put a ticket in yesterday morning and they credited for me while i was sleeping, so a nice surprise when i woke up this morning :)

    Laptop man is back on the homepage today, had a few easy surveys this morning for films so I've easily broken the 101sb first target just running encrave, radio and laptop man to get my second target of 160sb. Should be an easy day today.

    Hi, I've still not been credited for it, and I didn't make a note of the survey number, so if you have it, that would be great, thank you, if you could let me have the details :)

    Ditto. I'm glad I didn't bust a gut yesterday to make the 40, because today they've decided I need 70 to make a 6 Sb bonus. To put it in perspective, a 7 day streak is worth 25 sb (to me). Most surveys are worth more than that.

    Got a feeling they calculate the bonus on a rolling average. Stuff that.

    All the 7 day bonuses are the same for everyone.
    Yes, 25 SBs isn't much but you want to be aiming to reach your lowest target everyday then your bonus will be 300 for the Monthly Master.
    Plus, you get all the daily bonuses.

    So if you reach your first goal everyday for one month, you will get 300 + roughly another 300+.
    In Amazon vouchers (if that's what you're collecting) you can get £5 plus just on bonus day.

    That 25 SB is not to be sniffed at because it leads to better things :)

    I got a Dashboard survey about electronics for 238 so I'm done for the day :)

    On another topic, for the last 48 hours every time I play one of the orange homepage videos, it freezes and all internet pages become unresponsive. Anyone else had this problem? I've run AVG and nothing is coming back I.e Malware

    Yes - it loads better for me on Firefox lately as Chrome keeps freezing on these videos.
