Swagbucking into 2014

JFN

Just woke up and found "dawn treader" in my search box. Unless I've been sleep typing I have no idea how it got there. I searched it about a week ago. Got 9SB for it though (trips), so not complaining.

Do Swagbucks only tend to put a sale on the rewards at Christmas time? I'm undecided on what to do. I missed th boat on the JL voucher due to the postcard thing but I quite fancy saving up for a new laptop. I get the impression that some of you keep saving up your points where as others cash out ASAP. I'd value your opinions, thanks.

I would be interested to find out as well.

I have only been a member since June this year so can only comment on the last six months but this has been the only sale in my time and nobody has mentioned there being other sales throughout the year.

With regards to saving up or cashing out. Personal choice really. Martin Lewis always recommends cashing out asap as any company can go under at any time and you can lose all of your rewards without notice.

I think that it depends on what you are saving up for, for instance if you are saving for Paypal then the price difference is quite considerable so it is worth saving up to cash out at £100 rather than in smaller denominations.

Amazon used to be until recently the same amount of bucks whether you cashed out of £5 or £100 so it made sense to cash out earlier and save the money in Amazon rather than Swagbucks.

I always aimed to save for a £100 Paypal but then when my bucks got about half way I would scare myself, there would be talk on here about Swagbucks going under or I would log on to find the site down and under maintenance and that would spook me enough to bottle it and cash out for Amazon vouchers instead as I couldn't risk losing that amount of money.

I have been reassured by a long term member that SB's is safe and I shouldn't bottle it so easy but I'm afraid up until now I haven't been brave enough :rotfl:

Personal choice really.

Ah your honeymoon period is over.

Your first target will now stay pretty much the same, as everyone is roughly on the same first target after the initial intro period. Your second target will depend on your average earnings. So for instance if you have a few days only just hitting your first target then your second target will come down. If you constantly hit your second target then it will keep going up. This is why there is a big difference between everyone's second targets as it is a reflection on your own account and what you have been earning recently.

Thanks for this, I think I'll aim for the £50 JL vouchers as they are still better than PayPal and fingers crossed have for a laptop that actually works in a few months.

That's normal, Swagbucks always give new members low targets for a couple of weeks then they get higher ones

Hmmm in the in interests of team reindeer Have just ploughed through this survey Survey #: 358226 Survey Length: 35 Minutes Reward Amount: 125 Swag Bucks and it is saying to come back in 15 hours to do the last 10 minutes of it. I've now got a big countdown on the screen but no finish page although it does say 100% at the top. I've not been credited with anything so far. Anyone had this before and able to shed light on how it works please?

Cheers guys..

Just when you think it's easy points - oh well, i guess target 1 should be ok as long as the surveys are there.
