    I set up a swagbucks account a few months ago, but it's only really the last few days that I've become addicted to it!!
    I've set myself a minimum target of at least 100 swagbucks a day - yesterday I made 317 and today I've made 200 now I'll stop here because I can't be bothered to do anymore :rotfl:
    I have 1,235 points - enough for a £5 voucher but I don't know whether to collect it or just save the points until I reach a £25 or £50 card...
    What do you guys usually do with your points?!

    well done the first few weeks are the easiest more offers available to reach your target but most days your target should be achievable it depends how much time you spend on the internet whether it be at work or at home.

    When you first redeem your points for a voucher or paypal it may request you confirm your account which is done via a postcard sent to your address. This can take upto 10 days. This will happen at some point it might not be the first time you redeem but at some point it will.

    I wouldn't leave your account too long without redeeming i'm talking months and months as Swagbucks do sometimes close an account for any number of reasons. I'm not saying this will happen but i'd set a target ie 50 pounds amazon/paypal vouchers or less and then redeem when you achieve it. its a nice site to earn abit of money friendly forum members who are happy to help. good luck :)

    Thanks for the tips re them closing your account or them going out of business as I didn't even think of those possibilities! I think I will redeem at every £10 voucher too and just hoard vouchers instead of points :p

    Somehow, I don't see myself being able to resist spending them for that long :p
    I was thinking to either save them up to spend at xmas or saving them til I can afford a kindle :o

    You can still save them, just in your Amazon account where they're safer once you've applied them to your account there.

    There's also already there to use in case of a bargain popping up in an Amazon sale which might well not be there by the time Swagbucks pay out the voucher.

    That is the official advice from Martin Lewis, to cash out at the lowest possible amount. I used to follow it and cash out at £5 Amazon everytime, but now I'm earning so much more on here- I tend to cash out at £15 instead. There has been the odd exception to this, like at Christmas when the put certain higher denominations on sale when I let it build up to £50.
