Slightly off topic but are there any clever people on here who can help me or know of an app or spread sheet with formula already out there for this function. Basically I want to work out my daily SB target for certain rewards each month.


Currently I just use the pc calculator, input reward total minus SB already got then divide by how many days lefts in the month.


A bit sad but it got me wondering as I noticed some would go for the £100 paypal after 5 months or others would cash out £5 weekly.

it seems quite easy for you to do with a calculator,

what I suggest is you work out how many sb's you want to earn a day and then you can decide what to save up for, obviously paypal is the most expensive but if you want to save up for £100 and you can aim at 200 sb's a day then it would take less than 3 months, the target of 200 per day should be easy to get if you do the 5 apps, games, poll & noso (121 daily) so 1 survey would hit the target of 200 without the other bits like searches, codes monthly bonus etc.

goto where your apps are listed in settings and it should let you clear cached data etc .. that often sorts out such problems.

Do you find you get less at some times of day? remember the SB day starts at 8am.

I cleared the data once and deleted all my favorites too so watch out ;p

I've just done the same, not intentionally. :eek:


I usually switch my swagbucks phone off and back on again each day after I complete all the apps. That seems to sort out any glitches and keeps everything running smoothly.

I'm not having a go at people with iPhones or iPads- all I was trying to do was use an example of the different types of people who do swagbucks. Credit or not, if people were truly strapped for cash - they would get a cheaper device than an Apple product, even an older model - which implies that peoples financial circumstances, who do Swagbucks, might be more varied than people think.

The answer I'm interested in is at what point (how much they earn) people would suddenly say - can't be bothered/ its not worth it?

My iphone was pretty affordable. I think I pay the same/less than those who've got other brands of phone.

I paid £50 upfront for my iphone 5 almost 2 years ago and £26 a month for my allowance of 1GB internet, unlimited minutes and texts. Bit of a loyalty discount on there, but still might surprise you.

I also think people's circumstances can change over the course of a contract, might not obtain or have the latest model, people get them 2nd hand, maybe via friends/family who sell or pass their old ones on. They might be kept in use for more than a few years after a contract expires. I got a second hand 3GS before this that I used for about 4 years - you could get a 2nd hand 4 or 5 now for relatively cheap. If you are absolutely only getting a smartphone for this purpose then I see your point, but if it's just the phone you already have or plan to use long term as your main phone then..

People have different priorities too, manage their budgets differently. Might get an iphone but not a laptop or other electronics, or maybe they hardly spend on clothes and shop at discount supermarkets.

I certainly wouldn't do this if I earned to that kind of level. It's a labour in terms of time and effort I can really do without. Even the passive bits are things I'd really not to have to think about. It really would feel like a luxury to me not to have to remember to run apps etc and get at least my first target every single day for my bonuses. Once I earn comfortably I might keep it as a way to aid saving for holidays and/or a house deposit but if I earned enough to cover that without making significant sacrifices I'd give it up then too. Apart for those reasons for myself - isn't it better to leave a share of opportunities for those who need to do them?
