I joined 3 days ago too & have just reached 826, enough for my first £5 Amazon Voucher.
I am leaving it until my bonus is added & then I will cash in & add it to my Christmas Amazon pile
My question is,: Is this pace sustainable? The average is £5 per week but does anyone else get £10 etc per week
So far I have made both daily targets for 3 days. 30 is a different matter.

I agree with xnatilly. It totally depends on the individual person and what you want to achieve. I personally aim for £10 a week, and generally I hit it, although it's a hard slog when hardly any surveys come up and your using SBTV and Encrave all day.

I joined in March and I'm currently at over £120 earned since then.

My lifetime earnings is over 205 000sb and I have been with SB exactly 2 years (well, it was 2 years on Tuesday). That's an average of 8500-ish a month or 1970-ish a week.

Of course, it isn't always regular as some days are easier than others and some can be really hard work. Swagbucks can be a right pain in the neck but, all in all, it works for me.

Some just aim for target one , others aim for both and beyond.
It also depends on what you can get. Some days there is lots of surveys and others there is none.
I do other survey sites so i try to get the second whenever i can and i always get target one.

So far my lifetime swagbucks is at 14,397 , i am near enough at £90 and i joined 22nd march. So i average £8.18 a week to be precise. So i guess i am between £5 & £10.
So far i have earned similar the past few months so if you put in the effort each day it is sustainable. But it varies person to person and how much time you can put into it.

Yes, yesterday was a good day for surveys. I like doing them, but some are long for small SB & others easy ones. It now says I have reached my allowance & to come back later. Will aim to get my two targets today. Any more will be a bonus. I didn't realise that I was still on here at 2AM!! It can be addictive. LOL Between £5-£10 would be nice. I am not worried about getting Paypal for the extra SB. I seem to spend enough at Amazon at Christmas, so will be saving up for that. I haven't looked to see if it is better to save up for the larger Amazon vouchers if it takes less SB than cashing in every £5.

Wow that is good. Do you cash out or leave it in?
I haven't got my head around Encrave yet & my first go at tasks failed. Any heads up?
I have used SBTV (and watched them as picked ones I was interested in). I have also played some games. I am not a gamer but have enjoyed wasting a little time. I think it is slightly quicker to get SB through the games (unless you want to beat your PB!) than SBTV.

The higher denomination Amazon Gift Cards only work out at a couple of SBs cheaper, so there isn't really any penalty for cashing in £5 a time.
I usually wait until I have £25 before cashing out, which I have done 9 times since I joined in March. I aim for £2.50 a day, which gives me £15 so it is very do'able if you have the time.

You will get some slow days and busier days. Not too long ago, many of us got 700, 800, 900+ Swagbucks for the day due to a couple of high paying surveys and a fantastic special offer to sign up to, so it's nice when days like that come along.

You will find your own pace and what works best for you. Some people swear by signing up for paid offers and then cancelling them, I don't sign up to anything that requires bank details, not ever.
Some play encrave all day, others can't for various reasons or don't want to.
I don't do many surveys on Swagbucks either as they tend to be paid better on other sites. But, I do try to do the daily every day as that's a nice 70 SBs. Example. A survey on Inbox Pounds the other day paid 85p. The same survey on SB paid 36 SBs. It's a no brainer.

You are not limited to 3 surveys a day, just 3 Peanut Labs surveys.
Oh, and don't forget the Radio too.

Thanks. So you aim to get around 400SB per day or are you taking into account the bonuses too? How do you do that without doing surveys? I tried to sign up to MyOffers through both the home page & inbox for 30 but never got the points. Made me think to not bother about the other offers if I am signing up & not getting anything.
I use Ipsos too but they have been quiet lately. Any suggestions on other survey sites please? Happy with vouchers for Amazon etc
Since I joined on 4th I have only been accepted on one Daily survey for 70. Others say I do not qualify or none available etc. Can I keep checking this throughout the day or will it not change?
Keep forgetting to turn the radio on, but it messes up other things that need the sound turned up for.
Most searches I have had is 2 in one day. Missed codes too.

The first few times I waited until £10-25 before cashing out, but because, as QuackQuackOops said the difference between cashing out between £5 and £10 is so few swagbucks I now choose to cash out as soon as I hit £5 because that was I seem to get two awards credited per week rather than having to wait the full 10 days or more for a larger amount to credit.

For me it works because I mostly get the M&S vouchers so I can go and top up my shopping, or spend £10 per week on my weekly shop, rather than waiting until the end of the month for £25 for example. Helps an awful lot with keeping shopping costs down.

Encrave is great for me. I run it on my laptop whilst completing other offers on my ipad. You click on Encrave, click the picture with the man on it, and Encrave will load in a new window. Be sure to tick the box on the left hand side of the screen, which turns from grey to green, meaning that the videos will play continuously without you having to rate them. After about ten minutes you will be awarded 3SB, then a button will come up on the right hand side of the screen that says Keep Craving and you can do another round.

With SBTV you don't actually have to watch the full video, I keep my sound on silent and once the little green circle has filled in the row of ten at the top, I click to the next video. I personally am very new to the tasks because they seem to take a lot of dedication and aren't always large amounts of points. I would get to grip with other things first before attempting tasks.

Anyone else get 400 SB a day, WITHOUT doing surveys? No-one normal- who doesn't spent ALL day clicking on encrave or similar. Anyone else cash out £75 a month on Swagbucks? Highly unlikely I suspect.

£30-£40 a month i.e. 200 SB a day is the norm, to all you newbies. Better that you have realistic expectations about what you will fit in around rel-life- job, commitments etc.

I have been a member of swagbucks for just over two years and class myself as a normal person with a busy real job and life outside of swagbucks and I consistently earn between £15 and £25 per month depending on what is going on in my life.

I get fed up of surveys kicking me out so only do them occasionally and earn most of my points from SBTV, Games, Codes which people kindly put on here, a couple of searches a day and encrave when I am home and able to use.

I get amazon vouchers.

I used to do the occasional task until I discovered Clixsense which also works for me and gives me between £5 and £10 a week, again depending on how much time I can devote to it.

I am getting fed up with the offers on the home page or Supersonic. As I cannot do surveys today it seems I thought I'd try on or two of these. Hoping my first experience would not be repeated. Well lots of form filling etc later & account created ( tried the Active You one) as well a couple of others they secretly get you redirected to & no SB. They say a 15 mins delay but I am still waiting. Also one said Welcome back credit will be processed x days. I cannot remember doing that one as I write them all down to keep track. I have set up a waste email account so hopefully not much spam!
