Only the first time you add a new so called partner site. I had to use FB only when I added CF Elite to Swagbucks. Since then I never had to use FB. Maybe it's only me.

What happened with me is that I had to contact CF support as it kept telling me to change my FB login to match CF even though they already did match. Then I managed to do some tasks and wondered why they weren't crediting and found that they had credited but onto my SB account instead of Instagc! Very bizarre.

Anyway, I had already found it impossible to get Radio Loyalty which I used to run all the time I was online and there were a couple of other blips (I forget now) so I returned to SB.

In fairness I seem to get more surveys than ever on PL via SB so I make about £30 a month which I am relatively happy with, as it pays for my Kindle books and towards Christmas.

Any body else not received their swagback yet? By my reckoning I should of received 150sb, but nothing yet.

Did you order a giftcard? That's when you get the Swagback but a few of us having got as much as we should have :mad:

Anyone know what 07/01/15 Special Offer: SB Offers: Marketplace US Signup is got 100 sb for it

Yes, £10 amazon on Friday. I'll give it until tomorrow, then put a ticket in.

You will know if you have qualified for a bonus on the apps. When you have earned all your normal SB for the app, play one more video and then it will either say Daily Allotment etc, Or it will say Congratulations etc.

So there is no need to leave the apps running for hours if you don't get the Congratulations message.

If you do get the Congratulations message, then the bonus SB are awarded after another full round of videos (eg 15 videos for Entertainow or 5 videos for SBTV, etc)

You can then carry on until you get the Daily limit message.

Hope this makes sense. I just don't want anyone to waste time running apps for nothing.

The swagback is for gift cards ordered from today until 31st July I think.

Hopefully though that should give you time to earn enough to order another one and get your sb.

Just redeemed my giftcard and only got 75sb. Have sent in a ticket.

Thanks for posting. I think this will be where I pretty much bow out of Swagbucks. Well, it's been a good couple of years and I will have had £850 from them when I redeem my final gift card. If I can only get 40sb from apps, there is no hope of me ever meeting my daily target. I'm not going to rely on 'maybe' being rewarded with these extra rounds because I guarantee they'll only happen on some days and not others. If I start, I will feel obliged to force myself to meet goal on the slow days. The apps have also become a total nightmare to use with these ads and needing babysitting all day long.

What with games being so difficult, search wins have been reduced to 1 a day- there just is no point for me anymore. It was good like it lasted, but SB has gone the way of STP. SB can try to big it up all they like in their blog post, but they have not made it easier to earn. They have sacrificed their loyal users in an attempt to gain more. I think it says a lot that not a single one of my 12 referrals is active anymore; most lasted 5 minutes, but even the ones that gave it a good try have realised it's not worth the effort.

I'm glad I've found out on the 1st day of the month, so I've nothing to lose by stopping here. I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks anyway, so I wouldn't have been swagging the full month. I will take it right back to just earning 20-30sb a day from the simplest clicks and see if it really impacts my earnings that much. I mean, I'm only making £25 a month now, down from £50+. If the difference is negligible then it's definitely time to pretty much forget about SB.

I appreciate all the input on this thread over that time, over and out.

thats 86 from apps a day if you read the blog post correctly, not 40... It dropped by 40 a day.... iOs and andorid will have the same apps available in a week or so.,,, so thats still a £15 AGC per month (ignoring the effects of the monthly/daily bonus points for reaching the daily sb site target that would add around another 600 sb per month)

i often get 2 or 3 search wins per day, as do some others, and 10sb for games per day.

last month was £45 for me but was in hospital for 6 days, month before was £55 ... both months from apps, games, vidoes, surveys (inc Toluna ones) etc .. (no offers, no tasks). This time last year i was only managing £25 to 30 a month. I don't understand why it's dropped by half for you unless are are spending much less time on the site, or are doing most of it on another site now..... or maybe you had the radio thing running for may hours each day last year?

I agree with Fragmented, i get my three search wins and my 10sb from games EVERYDAY since i committed to SB.

Surveys are where u get your biggest earnings. If you not prepared to do them the very most u'l collect per day is 150-200. In the past 30 days ive earned 8,621 sb for Answers. Thats averaging 287 sb per day from peanut lab, gold and daily surveys(laptop guy not GTM)
