  • only just started swagbucking, and I have to say, the surveys are incredibly frustrating! I don't think I've had a single one that hasn't kicked me out. At least with Toluna surveys you know straight away if you qualify or not! I'm hoping that surveys aren't the main way to earn SBs :(

    Not 100% sure as I read on Facebook some time ago that they were only until the end of this month.

    Also remember if you don't reach your targets they get reduced. As a number of you are saying, it can be extremely stressful if you play their games and try to reach ever higher targets. You DON'T need to hit the targets, though that extra 600 or so at the end of the month is very useful (even if, in real terms, it is worth very little). Just do what you can and if it is only 80 to 90 a day (which I still think is easily achievable) it is still bonus money (and like I said above, they will lower your targets so making getting those extra bonus SBs more achieveable).

    Also, a number of us are annoyed by the Watch videos which are 20 for 3SB, but, you can just let them run through and every 20 or so minutes return and set up another set. The career language ones are good for that imo. Much better than babysitting the 4 or so for 1SB.

    I usually get around 750sb in the monthly bonus- that's almost £5 in Amazon vouchers. It makes a massive difference to me personally if I don't hit their targets, to the factor of at least £60 a year! Yes, you don't NEED to hit their targets, but Swagbucks is barely worth it without them IHMO. Bonuses represent at least 1/4 of my annual earnings here.

    Not disagreeing with you at all, Wizzbang. As indicated they mean a lot to me too (and I have to confess that I was gutted to find out that I hadn't hit a target around January 15 so I'll personally be down at least 200 in bonus bucks this month). However, some people on here seem to be getting stressed to the max and fearful almost if they cannot achieve them. It seems to me that if reaching Swagbucks targets is taking over someone's life to the exclusion of other much more important things then it is time to rethink one's strategy. It still isn't the end of the world if you don't hit those targets.........

    Just my opinion of course.

    £5 extra a month is a nice bonus, but not worth getting stressed over. I mostly enjoy doing swagbucks because it keeps me busy when I'm watching TV and entering competitions in the evenings. I'd otherwise play free games, but I enjoy knowing I'm earning a few extra pennies instead.
