I don't know if it's because I moved age brackets and I'm in a less popular demographic now, or whether it's just quiet anyway but for some time SB has been dry and it's got worse. On top of that most things aren't paying nearly as well.

I used to quite easily get 2-3 dailies, 2-3 dashboard surveys, Maybe a Gold here and there and max out the (former) PL limit of 3 surveys 24 hours just on an average day.. And they all used to pay better! Easily earning 300-400SB a day and consistently hitting second targets. Could even earn an extra 100SB from tasks if I really wanted to push myself - even that is not possible now.

I feel lucky these days if I even SEE a dashboard or Gold survey, or get screened out of a few. Sometimes there are none for days. Everything aside from the standard daily 50SB I get from the iphone apps etc feels like a struggle. I saw my first target of 105SB for today and thought that was going to be hard.

I joined in December 2013 and (pathetically) haven't missed a first target once since 26th January 2014. I carried on with SB when I got fatigued with many other better paying sites because I could guarantee a monthly £50 earning from SB that I couldn't from others (eg. Populus, VO) - but I really think I'm going to abandon it once I cash out for my next £100.

Sorry for the somewhat pointless rant guys, just felt like I needed to get it off my chest..

Hey guys, I've finally got the new surveys layout page and it's not too bad...


But where have all the Toro/Super Rewards/Radium One tabs gone? When I open the Peanut Labs section, it's just that, no other bits.


Help appreciated

I have joined SB on October 2014 I think and to be fair I find it getting slow more and more since early December. Surely demogprahic plays an important part however one main thing I noticed is the PL surveys - pay out more somewhere else.

Tasks also better pay at other websites.

I haven't got a daily survey for nearly 2 months now with the exception of 1-2 days.

I have recently cashed out £50 and gave up on using Swagbucks as my main website as it is too much work.

I think you were doing very well to get all of that everyday. However, I'm with you- Swagbucks has gotten REALLY painfully slow for me, since Christmas. I rarely get a survey now and I used to usually get 1 each day. TBH, I've pretty much stopped bothering looking now. If it weren't for the apps, I'd have almost stopped bothering with the site and would be earning only about 30 sb a day. The apps have kept me hitting my 1st target without strenuous effort.

I struggle to get search wins now (as I have mentioned before) when I used to be guarantee that I would get 3 each and every day. Again, I just can't be bothered to waste my time for no reward. I often only get 1 win, if I'm lucky 2 and on rare days 3.

I think this site has been a victim of its own success. It happened with Slice the Pie- once MSE started recommending it left right and centre, the payouts went down the drain and I stopped using that site completely. MSE can be the death of these sites because they get too many users and they can't afford the payouts.

It seems like it's time to move onto the next big thing. Just make sure you find it before MSE!!!

Agree with what's been said about it all slowing down, although i'm a total latecoming & only joined in Dec. But up until Xmas it was very decent - pretty slow since, though i thought it was starting to pick up a little.

I have been trying to blitz to get some extra funds for my holiday in May - maybe by then it'll be time to move on, i hope not as i kinda like how it works.

Surveys aren't going too well for me today. Almost completed two before I was told that they'd reached maximum capacity, so that's 30-40 minutes wasted.
The last survey I tried took me to the GlobalTestMarket page, with the usual set of questions, except that they're in Spanish.
