Swagbucking into 2014

Anyone got any crediting offers or anything to save me from 17 more rounds of SBTV. I can't find any...
There's a 39sb offer on PL titled "Special Offer: Peanut Lab: Win A holiday to Spain Worth 500 inclu" which credits instantly. When I clicked on it, I got directed to a survey from Opinion Surveys about South West Water. You have to select that you are a South West Water customer and are on the water meter.

You can get 5 SBs in the same time just by clicking on the 1SB videos.
I just don't understand why people bother with it as its such a pain in the butt for little reward.
As for surveys, I haven't done a survey in 5 days and reached my target every day.
Today, I got over 250 with no surveys before 11am.....and I didn't get up until 9.30
I'm wondering why its so difficult for some people, yet others have no problem whatsoever.
That last comment makes you come across as quite arrogant! I'd love to know which 1sb videos you have in plentiful supply. There were 2 on R1 and 1 2sb on PL (as kindly pointed out by above poster). That's all the videos on my site today. The blue box appeared briefly earlier, but wouldn't work and has now gone again. So, the reason why it's difficult for some people and not for others is because we don't all get the same earning opportunities, sadly.Minimalist

I agree with Wizzbang. Plus some of us are at work all day and don't get the morning opportunities such as encrave.Swagbucks 2014 Cashouts:

I too work full time and don't get half the opportunities as some people who can use swagbucks all day. Luckily (or unluckily) I was off today with my DD who is poorly and I've still done badly. I'm reduced to SBTV for the last few points. I still have 4 rounds before I get to my first target. I do encrave and let it run in the background. It may only be 2 points for 7 minutes but it all counts and I do other things whilst it does run. All my surveys today have DQ'd me. Some days it's easy and other days it's a real slog
ETA: After only needing 4 more points I went to see if there were any vids or surveys (to get DQ'd for 1 point from) and managed to do a whole survey for 36 points, got both targets now, typical!!! Let's hope this doesn't push my goals up tomorrow... But on the plus side I only need 14 more points to get £50 paypal :j

I try to grab hold of as many free trials as possible. These are the easiest way to earn sb. I cancel most of them as soon as I have been credited. For some trials they have a disclaimer that the points may be revoked if the trial is cancelled. For these I usually leave it a few days before cancellation however I make a note in the calendar so that I don't forget. To date, my points have never been revoked
The other quick earner is the free registration offers. Admittedly, these don't always creditbut always raise a ticket as there is nothing to lose.
I have also completed the email survey profiles but left it sort of vague. The payout of the email surveys is really good as most offer 2x the points. Plus you are less likely to be disqualified as the survey has been matched to your profile. However, these surveys should be answered as soon as possible as the quotas fill really quick. I have had a few where the email arrived mid morning but the quota was full by the time I attempted it in the evening.
And then there's sbtv (god bless sbtv) which is painful but a reliable earner.Swagbucks 2014 Cashouts:

Days without surveys are a real drag for me as I don't want to give out my mobile number or full address to sign up to things on the offers wall.
I get spammed enough as it is.

How do you manage it QuackQuackOops please?
Luck.....? I don't know. Searches and codes usually get me around 50 a day.
I am about to go to bed, did a last search for 'New Games' and have just got 30SBs, which is the most I have won on a search.
Do people get more per search the more SBs they have in one day?
I've never had 30 SBs for a search before, but it is the 6th search win today.
I sign up to offers that don't involve cost or masses of clicking through offers and use SBTV when I need to.
Also, if you keep refreshing the homepage, youll get new 1SB videos...the orange ones.0 -
