    Wow, what's that £10 thing? I missed that when I signed up. Is it still available?

    Congrats on some seriously good earnings, I had no idea that much could be earned!


    Not sure if it's still available but when i signed up 2 weeks ago via a link in the weekly MSE e-mail it offered a bonus 1700 points once 850 had been met which equates to £10 i think.
    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 :)


    Thanks for all that - very helpful :D
    I'm doing most of what you've suggested though i hadn't really bothered much with SBTV, Encrave or Revu - just surveys and a few bits here & there. Though that might change now i need more points :rotfl:

    Seems like i'm not so lucky as you with surveys, had enough over the past 2 weeks to get 200 ish points but it's been a struggle on a couple of days.

    On the apps is there anything to stop you fast-forwarding? I've been testing it and, once the video starts playing, you can click on the end of the timer bar at the bottom and be done. If you then click Next Video it means each one takes about 5-6 seconds, so 2SB every 90 seconds or so. Is this against the rules?

    A lot of people just wait for the video to run 1-2 seconds then click next and done. It shaves off massive amounts of time.

    Haven't seen anything yet stating this is against the rules but I haven't really looked. I've been doing this since the apps started and not been banned yet. My dad even runs half the apps on his ipad and half on my old android phone..all at the same time.

    I kind of have this multi-tasking babysitting the apps down to a fine art. I found 5-6 seconds each video, click "done" any sooner and it won't credit.

    I had 2 apps running at same time, used to be able to rack up 72sb a day real easy.

    It's been working beautifully for weeks until last 2 days where apps are playing up, now 5-6 seconds is too short, min of 10-15 secs, even when letting entire vid play it might not credit.

    For me I need to at least watch half of the video before clicking next to credit. 1-2 sec thing never worked for me on Android.

    Since the Android lollipop update, Sport.ly isn't working properly.
    Today there was a bug fix so I hope it will correct it.

    I have just checked and apps credited for me yesterday (Lifestylez that is as I didn't use others)

    The Encrave (vid one anyway) can get you 40sb if you start it early enough but it's hard work, well not hard but a pain...you have to babysit it and keep clicking to load next vid etc

    The apps are great, once you get each one set up. For each app (there are 4 that work in UK) you scroll through the list find the shortest video/song and save that as a "favourite". Then everyday open the app, go to your favourites and just leave it until you see the wonderful message "you have reached your daily allotment of swagbucks". And after some time (it's not quick!) 18sb added without too much work.

    Apps I use:
    Lifestylz - short vid "10 sec tip about WD40 in bins" easy to find
    Sport.ly - "leg stretches" 25 secs
    MovieCli.ps - "The best of me" - 50 secs
    Indymusic.tv - my worst one, shortest vid is huge 2mins long. But some people have found a "Joan Jet" video that's 30 secs long. This is the only one I have to babysit.

    So 78 a day for the 4 apps. I do the games too, open "Flip Out", you don't even have to play, just open click a few buttons to get it started, let it run to halfway then quit game, restart. Do that 10 times for easy 10sb!

    Hope this helps!

    Are these all on android or ios? How do you download them and tie them back to your swagbucks acccount?

    Sorry if I'm sounding thick - I'm a bit new to this!!!
