  • Hello there - long time lurker first time poster. I was so excited about this I had to register on these forums just so I could post.
    I just had a 5 mins survey for 609 Swagbucks on the survey dashboard. 609!?!?!?!
    It was about being screened for some sort of opinions board, and i managed to qualify. This is the best swagbucking I have ever managed to achieve! I think I need to lie down ...

    I noticed that! But i carried on for ten more minutes, made sure i put full answers in the questions boxes and it credited. I was on the verge of quitting though!!

    I've been doing it now, for nearly an hour and it keeps asking me about the same things in a loop.
    It's well and truly broken and I've sent in a ticket now.

    The cost in Swagbucks gets much lower if you wait and save up for £100 Paypal.
    At the moment £100 Paypal costs 180 SB per £1, but Amazon vouchers are on sale and only cost 165 SB per £1 for any denomination of voucher.

    Even when not on sale, the £5 Amazon voucher costs 170 SB per £1 which is still cheaper than the Paypal cash.

    OK, you can spend cash on whatever you want, but there's always something I want/need on Amazon so I'd rather cash out early than risk losing it all if my account ever gets closed.

    I'm always scared / paranoid about losing my points from an account closure too. I tend to cash out during the month depending on how well it is going. Normally in £5 or £10 gift Amazon gift cards at a time. This month is a little different as I have just ordered a £50 Amazon gift card. Purely because I had some offers owing which were all sorted and paid out in the same week. Back to waiting for 829 points for that £5 gift card.

    Another plus point for me in cashing out in smaller denominations is I can then gift my gift cards too if I want to.

  • Thanks - those kind of surveys don't seem to come up very often, and I've certainly never had one for 609 that only lasted 5 mins before, but when they do it makes my day!
    Incidentally, I also got stuck on that pressure washer survey the other day. It lasted a good 40 mins of going around and around in circles. Then all of a sudden it just ended. I managed to get the SB's but it wasn't worth spending my whole lunch hour on.
