    I don't think you'll get a decent reply- the usual it's random, crap!

    The thing I notice is, it's mostly newbies getting multiple wins- esp those getting 5 per day. This was never possible with the old system. Looks like they're penalising long-standing members to attract newbies. Shouldn't be surprised!

    I was thinking something similar earlier. To me looks like, people who steadily hit the daily targets and cash out regularly are penalised. When I first started doing Swagbucks, I was getting good wins - 2 or 3 times a day without an issue. Always a daily survey etc.

    Now wins are more difficult. There are days without daily surveys.

    Still they are good at paying you so I can't totally scrap it but it is annoying!

    Is everyone finding it hard to extract even 1 search win day, 2 at most now. Can't believe how tight SB have gotten.
    I've got two search wins today and 3 yesterday, but is it because I'm a newbie?

    We are not saying it is definitely because you are a newbie. We think that's how it looks like.

  • Does anybody know if it is possible, just like with Google, to perform a Swagbucks search for a certain period, for example all results within 24 hours, one week, etc?

    I have a lot of automated searches on Google that I would like to carry over to SB.

    Thanks.

    Struggling to hit target today (no surveys + hangover) - came downstairs to find hubby putting random search phrases into the tablet, said to him "you never really know, it's just pot luck", a few seconds later I hear a laugh, and he tells me he put in "pot luck" and got me 10sb! :D

    If it is anything bot like, your account will be banned. Plus there are sometimes captchas in place.

    No, it's not a bot. I receive the results via Google Alerts. I could build some links using the SB engine, but I need results from the latest 24 hours only.
