    I find SwagBucks alot of work for very little reward. Am I missing something here because alot seem to really benefit from it? How long do you guys spend trying to earn SB each day? Doe sit take a lot of committment?

    Its certainly not a get rich quick site, but its possible to be making decent money on it with some dedication and knowing what earns. What in particular have you been trying out on swagbucks, cause there are a few things like the tasks where other sites pay better.

    I struggled the first 9 days i only did the daily polls , the odd search. I couldn't figure out the obsession with it :p
    But i got some help from this thread - lovely helpful people here :) and i also put in the effort - started doing surveys.

    It won't make you anywhere near what a job would but it's nice for a bit of extra money and i do find it quite fun. But it does take effort. I am unemployed at the mo so have all the time to do it. I am on other survey sites as well but the way to do swag-bucks is to not overdo it.

    Sometimes there is only a few 100 swag-bucks a day to be made. So i aim to hit the first target at least , second if it is a busy day for surveys.
    It takes me a good hour at least.
    The first target tends to be around 90-120 swagbucks , the second 200-240. So it isn't massive numbers a day. But swag-bucks is odd in the fact it adds up. I joined 22nd March and after nearly 6 weeks i have made 6786 swag-bucks which is a £15 and a £25 voucher.

    I didn't make much the first few days so in around a month i have made £40 in amazon vouchers. It may not be a lot but aiming for a couple hundred swag-bucks a day doesn't take too much time.

    Well i was concentrating on the surveys but i was doing so many from different sites that I That i gave up. I now do the daily polls, noso and watch any videos that are going. I tend to try to buy bits online through the shop and earn but I've had a bit of a disaster with that lately. My SB from an item I bought with Argos has still not credited and that was 3 weeks ago.

    Am i missing something or is it the surveys that really build up the points?

    Encrave is a video watching program.
    You get it by going to the Discover tab at the top of the Swagbucks page and its on the bottom.
    When it comes up, you have to make sure the little box next to 'Discovery Mode' is on the green tick.
    You get 3Swagbucks for each round (20 vids) which adds up if you leave it in the background.
    Remember to relaunch it after each round.

    If you can't get on much, you have to hope to get a couple of good surveys but with more time, you can earn £10 - £20 a week but yes, it does take a lot of committment.

    Quidco is much much better for cashback.

    I was one of the winners for the wednesday game challenge, my goal today was 140 and I wasn't looking forward to it with no surverys anywhere in sight, found one 60 survey then got credited with the 100, perfect timing!
