Swagbucking into 2015 (Newcomers, please read the first post)

If anyone is looking for a cheap android smart phone - I can highly recommend the Alcatel One Touch Pop C1 (several people have mentioned it on this thread - I'm pretty sure its the cheapest you can get , certainly brand new). Comes with wall charge/usb lead (detachable) and headphones and EE sim card.

Its on offer (again) at Argos:

£19.95 + you have to buy a £10 top up for EE at the same time but you could use that up/sell on ebay/give to someone who has EE PAYG as its just a code.

Phone pays for itself in ~ 5 weeks then its pretty much 1st target everyday on the wi-fi with just these 5 apps. Of course if you actually use it as a phone it really is a tremendous bargain

I have 7 of them. One I use for Swagbucks - the others for Perk and they have been running well for months now.

How much do you earn running 6 on Perktv? I did try to download that on my phone before but it would not run as I had adblocker installed.

Might do it on another old samsung phone I own at home.

5x phones (max is 5 devices PER APP PER ACCOUNT) Perk Pop Quiz runs most of the day - you do get crashes etc so a bit of occasional baby sitting is required.
2x phones Perk Tv - when not using one phone for swagbucks, and it tends to crash a bit too (some adverts trigger it strangely), not so many points to earn per hour and has an annoying window pop up every few hours asking you to confirm you are still watching before continuing so you cannot run it through the night.

I could add another 3 Perk TV phones to make maximum of 5 but the reward is not as good as the quiz ones which I am maxed out on so will stick with what I have.

Assuming a 'bit' of baby sitting and (I work from home a fair bit) is roughly 6000 points on good day (£3).

Its annoying though when you see its all fine when you go to bed and wake up in the morning to see they are not running anymore - makes you wonder what time of night it stopped.

I've done it for two months and got 2 x £100 paypal from them which has more than paid for the phones already, and one of them is used for swagbucks which is also earning its purchase price back rapidly.

(note - like swagbucks - if you hold out for the big one it gets cheaper

so 2000 perk points = £1 but 180,000 perk points = £100 paypal)

anyway - there are reddit forums for Perk you can google.

Try here and read the main guide post at the top.

There is also a perk MSE forum but its not used much.

I won't say any more on this swagbucks forum though - there should be all you need to know from the link above

Blog says 8pm GMT, contact them even with the hour difference this morning it should be the discount sb

I was just about to by mine too and I see its back up al full price and its certainly not 8pm

I've contacted them regarding the price increase being 3 hours early. I bet they'll just say they can change the rules as they like though. Not impressed.

I have also been caught by the time change although I may not be hitting the target anyway as the video stripe offer did not credit through rev.u. I did it at lunchtime so there's beeen plenty of time. Please can someone tell me how to raise a ticket with them? I''ve tried clicking on the support icon but nothing happens. Thnaks.
