    Thanks. That might make me reconsider upgrading the apps. However, I'm a bit confused because this was supposed to be a glitch. If this became a permanent feature, I might run my phone permanently on Swagbucks rather than Perk, because the yield with Perk is very low and the babysitting is fastidious (I had to restart the phone 5 times in 24 hours).

    how many phones do you have ? i'm finding perk very profitable at the moment i do have a perk farm so that might be the difference in earnings etc

    Can you let me know what the profit is like for you?

    My dad is currently running 3 phones and a tablet I believe and he has taken to doing Perk scratch and win i believe as it's faster to earn as long as he babysits it, I'm trying to figure out whether I should get in on the act too.

    I still have only one phone, planning to buy a second one. I used to max out on Swagbucks, then move to Perk. Now I am experimenting leaving it on Pop Quiz 24/7. It's my main phone but I don't mind destroying it for Perk.

    At the moment I seem to make about 900-1000 points a day, but with much babysitting. This is roughly equivalent to 100 SB, but I can make 100 SB in 10 hours, so at the mo SB wins over Perk. Things would change with multiple phones, but it would be very impractical to carry them around. Leaving them at home is not an option, because they would freeze every now and again.

    I'm getting 20000 perk points every three days which is my current amount had afew crashes but not alot and cashing out once i reach that amount. This makes around 100 pounds per month give or take a day/ i'm slowly changing my setup it used to be all on perk tv but now 4 of my 6 phones are now doing perk pop quiz the limit is 5 but i'm wary about reaching the limit as thats when they may say your earning too much. Some people in america are earning 400 dollars per month but they get far more points than us brits.

    edit

    i have perk and scratch but don't know much about it i have used it but i didn't see much chance to win perk points. it may have changed as things do change quickly with perk with many updates to apps recently.

    Ive never really calculated what each phone makes but i'd assume it would be 1000-1500 perk points per device per day. I luckily had afew old phones that were compatible so not much of inital outlay for me. I seem to be steadily earning more from each device as my cashout days are getting closer and closer. i was only cashing out once every 7 days now its every 3 days or so.
  • O_W, don't bother with scratch and win, unless you have reached your device limits and have time on your hands. Depending on the games, you'll either win tons of tokens or waste tons of token for a few points.

    If you have time and stomach you could try the bidding options, but do it from Perk Screen because it's faster.

    Android 4.0 and above. But you can take an older phone, install a custom rom and it will work.

    There's a PL survey which includes the question, "Do you think that the NHS shouldn’t fund the long term care of people who make the following lifestyle choices?" The lifestyle choices include such things as excessive alcohol consumption and regular participation in extreme sports. The answer has to be Yes or No.

    They could also have asked "Do you think that was a well designed question?"
