    It's almost entirely surveys for me. If I'm close, I'll put on SBTV on the mobile, on the fashion channel, and play long enough to get 10SB, but I can't stand it most days, even on the lowest volume. Then there are the occasional search wins and the daily poll and NOSO, but if there are no surveys, I don't reach the daily goal.

    the quickest way is to Fav some of the shorter clips, for SBTV one use home and garden > 10 second tips

    On all 6 apps my Favs are all under 20 seconds now.

    Targets are 78 / 210 for me today

    I've been doing this since 2012. Everyone but newbies get the same lower target. The new peeps get a lower target to get them hooked but soon step up to the same as the rest of us. The second target does vary and those who do meet it regularlary will see it go up and up. This is why it is worth sometimes missing it, as it will keep the second target managable. It's almost always more sensible to do surveys with the survey companies direct or through better paying portal sites. You keep more of the proceeds of doing the survey through not paying Swagbucks their cut and it is more likely to credit if it does not have to go through their shakey tech to do so. You also diversify your risk by not putting all your surveys in one site and increase your overall return of vouchers and cash for your effort and electricity expended. Especially as you can get to the normal target with the apps, games and a few Watch lists when NCrave is not up and blast past it with ease when it is.

    Is swagbutton video playing up for others? Starts off ok but then you click on a video and instead of showing "new playing", a new selection of 4 videos loads up, sometimes 1 will start to play, other times not and you have to click on one and the same happens. Then you start getting "You have already watched this one". You can do a few more by switching to one of the other 6 folders but then it happens again. Started a few days ago when they put the old desktop videos back.

    am having the same problem SPnomore :(

    Well, another wasted survey. I completed a Gold survey on christmas shopping, took a screenshot of the page where it said completed, put in a ticket, only to find the file "isn't supported by Swagbucks" :mad:

    Not holding out any hope with this one.

    It has happened to me when i go make a coffee etc and the vid plays to the end and starts on another one.... i found so far (touch wood) that if i go away from the puter for a few mins and pause the vid that it works ok so far... only time will tell tho.

    quite a few 2vids for 1 SB in almost all categories

    1vid for 1SB in hobbies,news and politics and food

    for anyone struggling for time you can open 2 different browsers to get through the vids quicker - have managed to make the lower target within 1hr this way (sadly it has raised to 78, was enjoying the lower newbie target till today)
