Supersonic ads (the ones that you play 3-4 videos for 1SB) haven't credited for long time.

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.

Thanks for that, it must of been a senior moment. I reread it about 3 times, it's that or the heat:rotfl:

from those 287sb's you would get £1.44p in paypal, how long does it take you to complete those surveys?

Id say i spend on average one hour a day at most on surveys.

I feel there is soo much pessimism for those who do/did take part in SB. There will be opinions that say ur working effectively at £1 per hour but y dont u look at it in a different light, if you i make £2 a day thats £60 a month, £730 a yr. Thats £730 extra i wouldnt have if i was just watching tv.

This is not a job and nvr will be so stop sub conscientiously comparing it to the minimum wage. This is a free opportunity to earn some extra money or gc. If u want to earn on equal level to the minimum wage go find a job that can offer round the clock work where u can stop whenever you like, earn daily bonuses, work from home etc. Everyone's situation is different

Yes swagbucks are harder to come by compared to last yr but quit the entitlement mentality of wat u got last yr and expecting the same this yr. Its basic human mentality to get as much back for as little effort. Be grateful that we get FREE TO ALL opportunities like swagbucks rather than all the moaning and complaining

Stop comparing what opportunities foreign users get and we dont. Just accept the channels available and earn what you can. If you dont agree then you can stop swagbucking.

Also its best to do sb with a carefree attitude. Dont count any of it as earnings, count it all as a bonus on top of your more orthodox method of income . It wont last forever but whilst its here then make the most of it

I don't do the surveys, I work full time plus some and I feel my free time is worth more than £0.50-£2 an hour. I'd rather socialise, play a game or do some matched betting (also in front of the TV but earns me a much better hourly rate) in my free time .

In fact I'd rather do a second job than fill in tedious surveys. I would have done surveys in the evenings when my children were small and I was stuck at home but I'm not interested in doing them now.

Each to their own though, as long as we all accept and respect each other's choices, eh!

I wish i could do more surveys but some days i struggle to get many, i would say they are my main way of getting SB's along with a quick flick through the apps first thing in the morning...while flicking through them i usually watch the SBTV on my lappy which kinda claws back some of the stolen app points theyve taken from us. The way I look at it, I babysit the apps for an hour or so so i might as well grab some extra for little mouse movement.

Yes i totally get what your saying. I must add if i had a full time job, a family etc, i prob wouldnt be doing any swagbucking at all. Id prob only do the apps as u dont really do them, u set them up and return when they done.

Everyones situation is different. For teenagers wanting extra pocket money (dunno how many surveys they would qualify for) this would be awesome for them.

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)

OK, I didn't read that quite right did I? I'm still fed up of these ads that won't go away and the re-design of 2/3 apps I use makes it very hard to use because the 'done' button has disappeared and is hard to get back on the screen.

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

I used to get 3 wins a day every single day without fail. Then they changed the search engine, or whatever it was they did. It just isn't worth my time anymore, it takes me all day until evening to get 1 win. The second win is barely ever forthcoming and I'm not staying up all night for at best 6-10 SB.

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'm glad it's still working for some people, but it's really not for me anymore. I don't get all these search wins, I don't get surveys anymore since they changed that system as well. I never really did Encrave or Radio because they were full of spammy stuff.

The only thing that has changed for me is that I'm a year older (which doesn't even move me into a different survey bracket) and the search wins and surveys have gone for me. I guess after nearly 3 years of making extra cash, they just don't want my opinion anymore. It's not only SB that's dropped off- I barely ever get a survey from Pinecone now. All other sites are noticably less too and so is mystery shopping (although that's been in decline for a couple of years now). I haven't replaced my earnings with any other sites, there's none worth bothering with.

All in all, I think it's time to go get a life and not be tied to my laptop/ phone trying to earn pence! To me, it feels like economically we could be on the verge of a recession again because earnings generally are so bad. Good luck to everyone who decides to continue- I don't expect to be making loads on this stuff. But it's not unreasonable to expect a fair return on time invested.
