    Ahh yes the last few weeks have been pretty rough on most of the sites I go on too, perhaps because of the Xmas break/holidays, hopefully from Monday normal service would resume.

    My message wasn't meant to say 'don't moan', or 'don't post your goals etc', you post lots of helpful messages in this thread and I always look to see what search terms you've won with, so I can have a try too without having to think of something. Just mean that it isn't nice to know that you're getting stressed out by it. Everyone needs somewhere to vent, no need to think that you can't or shouldn't do it here, just trying to say that sometimes life is too short to worry about a few £ when your sleep pattern or well being could be at risk. I spend lots of nights up late, earning a few pounds, and really when it comes down to it being up late to hit that one target, which may lead to perhaps £5 or £10 could be the difference between feeling good or not.

    Swagbucks want to sucker people in with the targets, I've decided these days just to do what I can, with the time I have, rather than forcing myself to stay awake to make that next target or whatever. Obviously everyone has their own way of working, was just trying to say that maybe it isn't worth the stress :)

    The difference between 3 week bonus, and monthly bonus isnt that big (200 SB versus 300SB).

    And with the new second targets, you can make that 100SB by hitting the upper target on just three or four days.

    But I understand why you still want the monthly bonus. The one thing SB is good at is making it addictive. :D
  • Just won 7SB with superfantastic.., its my second win today but I don't seem to have had them doubled. I've checked 'my account' and just the 7 bucks has been credited. Is there something I'm not doing?

    It isn't doubled.

    Its just a term used to say how many search wins you've had in a day not that the amount you've won is doubled up.
    dubs = 2 wins
    trips = 3 wins
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Thanks, that got me 8sb and trips. :T

    I'm not going to make a particular effort to reach the monthly targets this year, I've decided it's just not worth it for me, for a ~£1.70 bonus. I'll just keep doing the SB activities I can easily do whilst doing other, more profitable things online.

    When I say usual, I'm referring to the last fortnight roughly. I try to post helpful things on here, mostly letting people know if offers don't credit or each search term that wins. If people would prefer I didn't, I can resolve to swag on my own, or post on FB instead.

    I, for one, appreciate your posting, and those of everyone else, as I find that half the fun of swagbucking is checking on here and rejoicing or commiserating with others (the other half of the fun being spending the money when I get those gift cards ;) )

    I also feel your pain, with the surveys, as the few that have come up for me, i've been DQ'ed from...though I see some vids on the homepage now, so there might be hope yet :D

    I appreciate you posting too, you post some really helpful tips and information.
