    I just checked back on my history being a newbie my bonus was small the first time. It only took me till last week to realize you had to do the to do list to get the bonus SB. i missed out on 3 weeks of bonus SB :( it wouldn't work for me then i finally tried it without my ad block and it worked. So i feel like a right doughnut

    Bit confused now, I got my bonuses from last month without completing the to do list daily. I rarely bother with the poll and gave never downloaded the toolbar.
    I'm saving all my amazon vouchers up for Christmas shopping, I have £70 from 6 weeks of Swagbucks, much lower expectations going forward but hoping for £150 by December.

So i feel like a right doughnut. I hit my second target everyday accept a few so i must have missed out on 400 SB at least. Thank god i figured it out now. I love the Bonus SB i should get at least 600 bonus SB as well this time woop.
    I love that it's great for presents and bits & bobs without breaking into the bank. I want to spend it all on myself though seeing as i put in the work :p but i guess i will have to get my fiance his present in a couple of months reluctantly. I hope you get you £50 soon and he has a lovely birthday :D
    What i like about SB is having targets gives you an aim. It is nice if you want to aim higher but you can relax once you have hit the target. It is a very unique thing.

    You don't have to do the to-do list in order to get the bonuses.

    That's odd i don't know either. I checked back at my history and i only got a 3SB bonus last month and i hit my targets for the 2 weeks i had accumulated until the day the bonuses go in. So should have had a good 300 or so SB. The only explanation is me not completing the to do list.

    I have done 4 weeks of swagbucks so far and am waiting for my £15 voucher and am close to another £15. I don't think i could reach £70 by my 6 weeks of swagbucking. If i get the bonuses i could reach the £25 voucher so would be up to £40 of vouchers by my 6 weeks. Wonder what the average monthly voucher people get up to. For me my first month it's £30 amazon vouchers worth of swagbucks.
    I have worked out if you hit the second target which is an average of 200 for me every day and get 600 bonus at the end of the month that is 6600 swagbucks a month. Which works out at a £25 voucher and a £15 voucher. So i presume getting £40 of vouchers a month would be around average. That is brilliant. I have only got to £30 in my first month would have hit the average if i had got my bonus :( but by the 22nd of may i hope i can get to £40 of vouchers for this month.

    You don't have to do the to-do list in order to get the bonuses.

    That's odd wonder why i didn't get any bonus for my first few weeks. I only got 3SB for my march daily meter bonus.
    What does everyone else normally get?
    It says 'complete your daily to-do list to in order to earn your guaranteed daily bucks'. Very odd

    You only need to hit your first target, and don't need to do the tasks but you might as well to get extra bonus, go through your records and contact support see if you get an answer x

    Well I never complete my to do list, since the toolbar nearly destroyed my computer (Needless to say, I don't advise installing it, not worth the price of a new computer for 1 sb a day!) Anyway, I only ever do NOSO and Daily Poll and ALWAYS get my monthly bucks.

    The 3SB sounds like you got a target of 30 for one day in March.Each calendar month is separate, so depending on when you actually signed up in March would affect what you got.April 1st- 30th is the new month so any days you have hit in this period will be your new monthly 7/14/21/month bonus plus the daily target bonus,which will then be paid around 5th May.

    Terrible terrible grammar on PL today, in answer to qualification questions, the options are 'yes' or 'now', then they ask 'if I boy cards nowadays'

    You have to reach that first target a certain number of days in a row to get a one off bonus. You get it for 7 days, 14, 21 or 30 days.
    You don't get all of them. If you reach the target 30 days in a row, you get one bonus of 300 SBs, not all of them added together.

    The 2nd target is for your own motivation but doesn't have to be reached in order to get the winning steak bonus but if you do reach it, you will get a bigger daily bonus.

    In a first month, the 30 day bonus (if you reached it every day) will give you 300 SBs and if you hit the 2nd target, the bonus will be roughly 350 SBs. This 350 figure will go up as the months go on because your targets get higher

    Total for the first month when hitting the 2nd targets without going over too much will give you about 650 SBs.
