seems they've made some changes to the swagbucks tv apps. The lifestyle and entertainment ones at least have been reduced to 10sb a day from 18. And in the case of the entertainment one, they have increased the amount of videos you need to watch. This is annoying.

I noticed that too, there was something mentioned about being able to get bonus points from the apps but I'm yet to get any.

I think you need the latest version of the apps to have any chance of bonus rounds i still have the old versions as these still let you have favourites. funny how they lowered the amount of sbs you get from the apps but the first target was still pretty high for yesterday.

I think swagbucks are trying to get people to do surveys on the platform so reducing others ways to earn should mean people do more surveys. How about increasing the payment from the pitiful amount they do now would be my response to them.

My average-of-averages for the full first year of Ultimate Membership was 0.693.

The high water mark was a 0.756; low tide (ignoring the first fortnight of membership when a load of deadwood was being churned) a woeful 0.608.

I doubt any of this is massively interesting to anyone bar me, but I've kept the stats diligently for a year, so they must be good for something.

Boring good folk on MSE forums, for example...

Great averages :-)

My projected average for today is a rubbish 0.58, though I did have 0.72 yesterday which was nice, and there's plenty of time for the RR to get clicking today yet....

I'm not dedicated enough to calculate monthly averages, though I have an Excel sheet to make sure I am in profit every day, even if it means doing a few 1c tasks

What kind of numbers of RR do you need to have to get a good BEP for Ultimates? The charts seem very confusing to me. I see several people on the forum have 10k and that brings in a great profit

My target is down to 60SB today, that is after not reaching it for a week or so....I lost interest a bit with all the changes. Though I might see if I can reach it for this week, when the target has been reduced...

Just had my second payout on Neobux with no active referrals. It can be done solo if you are struggling with referrals, just takes time and patience

Assuming 240 day extensions...

1750 RRs is the low ebb point in terms of BEP. You're one referral into the top tier of renewal costs (the variable element), and those 1750 RRs have to carry the burden of the $890 membership costs (the fixed element).

The above BEP is 0.681 (taking into account the fixed orange ad value).

It's all downhill from here, however. Each new referral will reduce the BEP.

Again, taking into account the 30 cents per day from the orange ads:

2000 RRs - 0.666
2500 RRs - 0.644
3000 RRs - 0.630
4000 RRs - 0.612

5,000,000 RRs - 0.558
10,000,000 RRs - 0.558

For very, very large numbers, the fixed membership cost exerts a minimal influence, and the BEP will gradually trend towards a flatline figure representative of the variable renewal costs (see above!)

My current BEP is 0.592. Based on last year's average of 0.693, this means it takes until about 8:30pm each day before I'm in profit. After that it's all gravy.

Ha, not sure any of that even answered your question!

Thanks snowcauldron, that is really helpful and something to mull over

I was extolling the virtues of various 'Area Characteristics' tasks a few days back. Always the kiss of death.

In the course of a single weekend, they've upped the locations to rate per job from 5 to 10 to now 15. It makes German hyperinflation of the 1920s resemble a mild economic pimple by comparison.

Oh, the pay hasn't increased from 8c to 16c to 24c. Surprisingly.

And CF insist on releasing them in multiple, small batches. So on each occasion you have to waste time getting out of quiz mode. Unpaid quiz mode.
