  • I had a whole page of gold surveys but got instantly disqualified from practically all of them, annoyingly spent 15min on one long technology one wanting to know about all the tech gadgets I use but it didn't go back to the swagbucks page at the end and credit... I never made a note of the survey number so I won't put a ticket in as they weren't helpful last time.

    Somehow though I managed to do 200sb today... highest i've done in a long time!.. answered 2 surveys and the rest were by swagbucks tv, games and the sb apps which I've only just started using.. thanks to those who posted about it.. really made a difference! Time to call it a night

    Swagbucks is as addictive as it is frustrating.

    Didn't have any time to do Swagbucks during the "UK" 26th, but have some free time this morning and set to work to keep my momentum going. Mercifully my target was a mere 30SB. I got to 25 pretty quickly, but could not figure out for the life of me how to get an extra five. Polls were getting me nowhere and I had gotten all the DQ bonuses I could - even the daily poll let me down. Videos were not an option due to time, search not working too well for me today, but "special offers" got me a tantalising four. One clicks from TORO got me over the line (although the five minute delay to get a couple of them didn't exactly cheer me up). I'm going back on now to bank the new day's minimum (30 again) and thus give myself a bit of a breather for the coming day or two.

    Getting close to my first £5, and despite the slightly better value in waiting I think I'll take my rewards out £5 at a time. After days like today I think little and often is the only way I can be confident that I'll stick with Swagbucking, and I'm determined to do just that.

    I think once the end of the month comes the new targets will deter people from doing swagbucks on a daily basis its had that effect on me.

    Have you looked at downloading the mobile apps and running them? They give you 60SB per day at the moment.

    See the 2nd post on this thread for details.

    Yep, me too. It's getting harder and harder to get points, let alone meet daily goals. I've come to the point where I feel like it's taking over my life. I must waste 3-4 hours a day on Swagbucks, getting nowhere, all for a few pence. The new higher weekend goals suck too. I found myself still on SB at 1:30 in the morning on Saturday, desperately trying to hit that daily goal, I realised then how much time I waste on it. I should be spending that time more constructively, like with my family. For me, Swagbucks is just not worth it anymore. :(
