Swagbucking into 2015 (Newcomers, please read the first post)

Am I thinking about this incorrectly? According to the poster before, £25 gift cards will have a 200SB sale, so why would you redeem for a 25SB now? I didn't even redeem my 100SB swagup just in case this info is true and I can then pay 200SB less per £25 gift card!
I think you are right IF cashing out to get a Swag Up of LESS than 200 SBs will prevent you getting to a £25 GC (or multiples of £25). Does that make sense?!0 -

What I'm thinking is this:-
I cash out £25 now, I get 25Swagup (or whatever swagup, as long as this is less than 200SB) - so 25SB discount.
I cash out £25 on sale, I pay 200sb less! - 200SB discount!
If you are trying to save for £25 cash out, you probably wouldn't want to try and cash out £3 amazon now just to get 25SB back! You would just try to earn more SB and not spend SB to hit £25 cashout?
So the only reason you would cashout now is if your swagup is more than 200SB!0 -

Yup, agreed!But, if you know that between now and the end of 200 sb GC offer that you will only be able to earn, say, £30 of SBs (or £55), you may as well cash out a lesser swag up on a £5 GC. But then again, we never know quite what SBs will throw at us and therefore how much we may earn! :rotfl:

Yes, that's right. In my case, at least, it will be possible to get a low-cost card for 25SB rebate as well as a £25 card for 200SB rebate; but it will probably not be possible to get two £25 cards in the time available.
(I normally cash in at the £15 level, because that provides a good rate of return in terms of SBs per £, and higher levels are at pretty much the same rate.)0 -
First time in ages that the ads (for me) are back on the apps and surprise surprise they aren't running properly, also got first bonus round in a while (a whole 2sb-woohoo) so yet again the link between the ads and poor performance and bonus rounds is obvious0

Same as yesterday for me. Lifestyle & Sportify hang after 1 video and bonus rounds have dried up for me after having a ton of them.
As someone who doesn't do surveys or signups and likes to do this as passively as possible, reaching the daily goals has been an effort the past few days.0 -
