Swagbucking into 2014

Still trying to get my head round this site and have a few questions for all you lovely swagbuckers.....

What are "collectors bills" - do you earn more points by getting them?

Is there a knack to earning points quickly, spent nearly 3 hours last night reaching my second target for the day - never thought watching videos could be sooooo boring!!!!

Sometimes it can be really hard work, so you have to decide how much time you are able and prepared to put in to it, other times you hit your goal with very little effort. It does take a while to get your head around it and see the different options available and work out what suits you best. I just tend to go for my first goal, and don't worry about my 2nd as I'm not prepared to kill myself for a few extra sb's.

I do have a personal target, which I try to hit each day, 150. I was hitting it easily and hitting or getting near my 2nd goal of about 210, but it has got harder over the last week or so since they changed Encrave. If its a good day and I'm near my second goal I'll go for it, otherwise I don't bother. Surveys are probably the quickest way to earn. If I get a DS or other decent paying survey each day, then I'm happy, hit my goal and then don't try too hard, but you don't always get one, which makes it much harder!

I did get a bit obsessed yesterday trying to hit the 21 day goal, I'd had a survey in the morning that had not credited and was out all day, so was a bit annoyed!! I do try and get the 21 day, but then relax a bit and if I hit the full month that is great, but if I don't, then I don't worry, just takes the pressure off for the last week of the month!

They regularly do sets of collectors bills, which you can get for searching, and if you get the set in the time frame, then you get an instant bonus. Go in to "My Swag Bucks", the drop down menu on the right hand side under your name and there is a tab next to your ledger tab and you can see which ones you have and need.

Good luck!

I'm still level 0 at the moment, but the casino tasks and the fisher investments tasks are so easy, has no skill tests, and awards you 4SBs a pop! If you log into the page at the right time, you can see well over 20 of these which will net you 80SB with little / no effort, although it does take time!

I tried my hand at the linkedin task yesterday, got booted out because of some ambiguity issue, which was really annoying. I saw someone else made exactly the same mistake as me!

Was hoping to get my skill tests to 100 (I'm on 53 at the moment) so I can get to level 1 but already losing heart...!!!

Thanks Ioranius, I've heard people talking about the Fisher Investment ones, perhaps I'll give it another try sometime!

That's basically my approach and attitude too. It seems to work fine for me. I also do some special offers if they pay well enough (but be prepared a lot don't confirm instantly even if they say they do. Take plenty of screenshots).

It could take up to 10 days I think but my last one only took about 4 or 5 days (the other week) so this does seem a bit of a long wait. I would probably send them a quick email to see what's happening with it.

Thanks, I've opened a ticket. I worked it out as now being the 11th day (excluding weekends) since I made the order. As I opened the ticket I got a message saying it could take up to 14 days, which could mean I might not get it until the end of next week!

It does seem to be taking longer and longer for me. The last two cleared on the tenth working day =(

I wonder if anyone is in the same situation as I appear to be. I have not had a daily survey for over a week although I have up to three tick boxes selected at time. However, when I click on the link "Start Survey" I am directed to the page where I am told that there are no surveys for me. I check this page many times a day and am getting frustrated. It is bad enough getting disqualified from a survey but not to be offered any is worse. Is anyone else finding this are are surveys normal for everyone else? If so, I wonder should I contact Swagbucks?

I did go through this from Friday last week until Tuesday this week and it was super frustrating, but then they started up again. Probably not very helpful for you per say, but I was in the same boat, although it has now sorted itself out.

No harm in emailing SB customer support to see if they have a solution / answer for you though.

Really quick dashboard survey on Scottish referendum - literally took a few minutes, 36SBs

I've been waiting for a £15 Amazon gift card reward since the 7th, was hoping it might be processed overnight but it's still waiting. Is anyone else waiting? Wondering whether to email the SB team or wait a little longer.

£15 card are out of stock.
The delays are caused by Amazon and not Swagbucks.

I mailed SB once before about gift cards and they told me that Amazon releases codes in batches. If they run out before the next batch is due, then there can be a wait of 3 - 4 weeks.

SB have obviously had a lot of people claiming £15 this month.

It'll come eventually

Hope to be claiming £65 worth this month... A fifty and three fives I guess to speed it up.

P.S.
Got paid all my back payments for offers this week. PHEW!!!

It happens.
Sometimes you might not see a daily survey for a couple of weeks. Other days you might be able to do all 5.

Don't worry. You're not doing anything wrong. It's just like that from time to time.
