    Surveys today:
    13 Disqualifications (not to mention all the error ones that continuously appear)
    5 Completed

    At least I've managed to hit the first hurdle.

    Fingers crossed for some new surveys tomorrow :)

    Do you guys save up your SB or cash them in whenever you meet a target, eg each £10 or £25 equiv? Do they sometimes have offers for redeeming your SB?

    Personally I cash out for £25 every 3-4 weeks. With the amount of time it takes to collect SB, I couldn't bear to lose a year's worth if anything happened to the site. It always seems like these sites are legit, but in the past a number have gone down very suddenly. So I always follow Martin Lewis's advice to cash out at the lowest amount you're happy to lose. I choose £25 because it give me a better return on Amazon than the lower amounts. TBH, in the last year the 'sales' were almost pointless anyway, so I don't see the benefit in saving up.

    Good advice. I once waited for £100 Amazon but I'd be gutted if I lost a possible £100 voucher so these days i only wait for £50 then cashou.

    Hi Kellolio

    I'm not sure what's happened. When I reached 849 SB it automatically updated - within minutes I think.

    Hope you get your bonus SB sorted
