    I've not had a problem with the toolbar on Firefox, my antivirus is up to date so that should pick up any problems shouldn't it?

    you will be fine with the button extention they use now, it was the old FULL toolbar thing they used to use a long time ago that caused problems.

    ==== edit===
    only problem you may have is if you shop via a cashback site, the sb thing may try to hijack the sale to go via sb shopping cashback, but that can be overcome via disabling the extention if using a normal cashback site.

    I've never used the toolbar. I do use the button extension on Chrome and I've never had any bother with it. I have virus and malware software but they haven't picked anything up.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Wonder if the Swagcodes for the Button will last more than a couple of hours.... doesn't look like it from the expiration on the VelvetButton one. Fingers crossed. I think I'd prefer 1 point for logging on once in 24 hrs so potentially 7 in a week to 5 or 6 in one go for being logged in at the time they release the code.

    Interesting point about fairness. For me they credit and the Face of Assist always credits for me. I, on the other hand NEVER see ANY of the quick surveys that many of you seem to get, so I guess it evens out one way or another.

    Couldn't agree more! I never have instant surveys but my Face of Assist has given me 162 SBs today and hasn't stopped crediting yet!:j

    True, it was the toolbar thing from a couple of year's ago when I first signed up. Still that's enough to put me off ever trying anything from them, EVER! I predict this is the way all codes will go soon.

    are you using all the SB apps (4) that iOS can run ? as they should be able to get you around £14 per month (82sb per day). (nearer to £20 on andorid)

    When I click this link, nothing comes up. I have an iPad as well but no phone so have never tried to use the apps.

    should have showed the 4 iOS apps... maybe your iOS is too old ?
    sbtv app lists as
    Compatibility: Requires iOS 6.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
    There are some very cheap android phones around (£30 and under) .... may be worth you looking into getting one if you are going to stick with swagbucks
