  • Oh trust me the honeymoon doesn't last long, not even as long as my past marriage :rotfl:

    I can concur your 1st target will stay fairly constant but 2nd target does fluctuate. I sooo wish mine was as low as 320 pts mine is currently 680 pts :( mind you my own fault been hammering the bucks and claimed over £300 Amazon vouchers in 3 months I know I need a life or rehab in the new year, think a phone call to Jeremy Kyle might be on the cards...ok perhaps not!!! :D


    680 :eek: that's insane.
    Though on reflection the second target only effects bonus points doesn't it ?.

    How on earth did you manage £300 in 3 months ? that much be about 16000 a month - i wouldn't have thought that possible.
    What came first, the music or the misery?
    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    Yeah think I am suffering from insanity :rotfl:

    Seriously, you're right hitting the 2nd target isn't the be all and end all and it does only affect the amount of bonus points you get, however they can mount up too especially if you hit at least one target every single day and reach 2nd target quite often. I've bagged over 1000 pts each month so far on this alone.

    How have I reached so much so quick? Well there's no secret really I do a lot of the surveys that is the best way to get large amounts of bucks in one hit Dashboard Surveys can be any amount had a few very big ones paying around 300 SB a time, Daily Surveys at 70 SB each some days lucky enough to get a full quota of 5 then there is Peanut Lab Surveys not massive payers but they mount up, Gold Surveys but these tend to disqualify immediately but have had my share paying up to 100 SB there are even surveys on REVU in the Special Offers section pay 40 SB plus the 80 SB surveys on homepage supplied by GlobalTestMarket but they seem to come and go. There are also Instant Surveys that pop up on green boxes on homepage quick and cheerful easy bucks if you're signed in at that time.

    As you see any combination of the above if you are lucky and have the kind of profile researchers are looking for on any given day you can earn a lot from doing surveys alone.

    I don't play the games and don't use the android app (although going to get a 2nd cheap phone to try this in new year) because I'm a carer for 2 members of my family I need my phone free and available at all times. Then you have the random searches usually get 3 a day, the Swagbucks Codes, Daily Poll, Swagbutton, NOSO and referrals (again haven't referred anybody so far but a few of my friends are signing up to take advantage of the MSE offer) bet some of you wish you had referred me lol then there is Encrave again that is intermittent and of course last but not least the lovely SBTV 3 SB for every 10 videos this is definitely a last resort!!!

    The £300 I've made is purely by purchasing Amazon Gift Cards would be less if I got cash through Paypal, also included in this amount is the £10 bonus points I got through MSE registration and I was lucky enough to win a £25 Amazon Gift Card in a Swagstakes I entered (don't really bother with that it is really gambling with your hard earned bucks!)

    I spend most evenings on here whilst watching tv or listening to music or pop on occasionally during the day when I get a few mins as I'm a carer for both my disabled mum and sister not complaining (they keep me on my toes and out of mischief haha) I love them both dearly.

    There that's how I earn so much now off to try and earn some more was looking forward to encrave tea and toast but no encrave so far...schucks!! Laters :)
  • ScorpioStuart is extremely lucky with the surveys, he fits the criteria better than most lol, I'm lucky to get one daily a week (they just don't like me boohoo).

    Having said that I don't know how you can stomach doing so many surveys day in day out....I lost the will to live with them, think I just have a low boredom threshold.

    My apps are glitchy again today, playing but not earning :(
  • Has anyone got Encraving today, 8.16am and still nothing :(

    Not looking good for Encrave :( maybe they have removed it again I hope not was just getting used to a few rounds before I get on with my day.

    Is it just me or has the 80 SB Survey box vanished too? Has anybody else still got it? I've not seen mine on the Homepage for over 2 days now and that hasn't been back long either :mad:

    It is not on my page either, but then I gave up doing them because they didn't credit half the time.

    Earlier in the year when we had Encrave regularly and it disappeared, it was because they were doing something to it and it came back different, happened a couple of times. Guess we will just have to wait and see?!
  • What I dislike are the Peanut Lab surveys which start by being something like 36 SBs for 10 minutes on the dashboard, turn into 15 minutes when you click through, then you don't qualify but are offered another survey for 48 minutes (which you give up on when you realise the detail that is being requested) and then you don't even get one SB for being ruled out of the original survey.
