    Also - do you have to update the apps (Android) to get this new bonus thing to work? I don't want to update if I am going to lose my favourites....

    I was wondering the same because mine doesn't say to keep watching to earn bonus points, it says daily allotment has been met

    Does anyone else have problems with the adds on SBTV on their ipad? I can never close them, it takes me ages to come in and out of the app to try and domit. Hitting the X doesn't seem to work. Has anyone noticed the sbs awarded going down for it too? I only got 32sb yesterday but not sure if that was just a glitch! TIA

    I have had the bonus a couple of times on the original app, it often says keep going you may qualify for bonus points (or words to that effect) but other times when you hit maximum for the day it comes up in large red writing you have qualified for bonus points, this is the only time I have had bonus points

    So are we supposed to just leave it on all day now and just check our accounts to see if any bonuses were had? I'm still a little confused whether I need to update the apps or if I have to interact with the app at all to either trigger a bonus round or escape out of it when its finished?

    Thanks for this, but they all were updated this morning on my phone and now I can't add favourites.
    What should I do to stop them updating?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you need to update them, i just updated sportly on my ipad to see and after each video its a bit different, it now slays keep it up! In red and tells you how many videos you are away from your next sb, havent got to the end yet to see what happens. Also my favourites were still there on the ipad!

    Richy do you have an aclatel pop c1? If so, how do we stop our aps updating on the phone?
    Thanks.. I use my phone for Perk TV too, but the swagbucks aps are taking so long now (without favourites) that it doesn't leave much time to "watch" perk videos

    Do not know how to do it on the alcatel - I only use those for Perk and I just let those update when they need to. I have another Cubot android phone for swagbucks apps where I went into settings and just switched off the automatically update apps setting.

    I also have an iphone where I just got all the latest apps for IOS to see if I can trigger a bonus using them...

    I would say no to both questions, I have left them running after the "keep watching to earn bonus points" has appeared and received no bonus points even after letting it run for 28 extra videos, I usually get "the daily allotment has been met" but when i had the "you have qualified for bonus points" in red writing straight after finishing the normal number of runs of the app is the only time I have had bonus points.
    Obviously with new apps about to be released they could change but for me unless i get the red message "you have qualified for bonus points" straight away i don't let them run on.

    Re: http://blog.uk.swagbucks.com/2015/06/survey-soiree.html

    Do you only get one set of swagbucks rebates during this month?
    Ie. If I submitted an order for 3 x £5 would I get 3 lots of rebates instead of one? Probably not.
    Thanks.
