    I haven't had any instant surveys since running the apps and I'm also not getting many surveys since then. I wonder if it's related. In which case I'd rather use my phone for Perk.

    I can definitely reach the daily goal without the apps.

    I use all the apps on andorid (although now won't be using sportly one with no fav's) and still get instant surveys when i am quick enough... managed to catch 3 today using chrome.
  • Hi, just wondering if you claim a £10 paypal voucher if paypal deduct fees from the amount and if so how much? If anyone could helpme I would be really grateful. Thanks
    If the money comes in pounds into a UK Paypal account, there are no fees. Fees apply only if there is a currency conversion or if you transfer the money into your bank account or credit card .

    I get the £5 ones as the £10 ones cost one extra SB. They don't deduct any fees and pay out to me really fast (within 48 hours unless over a weekend). Hope that helps!

    PayPal don't make any deductions when I transfer sterling into my current account from my non-business account. (I assume they charge SwagBucks when they pay into PayPal and hence why the "exchange rate" of SBs to £ in PayPal isn't as good as for normal retail vouchers. Maybe someone will correct me on the latter point.)

    I might be wrong on the bank transfer but there's definitely a small charge if the money comes in another currency, unless you want to add a foreign currency to your wallet. I guess those who receive Paypal vouchers in dollars from Clixsense or Neobux could explain this a bit better. Anyway, all clear for Swagbucks.
