Just be aware the more times you hit your second bonus the higher it will go. I find I can hit the second one 3 days running without it shooting through the roof then i hold back on day 4 or 5. Also don't be afraid of one or two mamoth days affecting your day goal. It seems to take a longer view.

Have fun, but don't become a slave to the swagbuck. No point getting agitated over not meeting a daily target or having a low bucks day.

Mine's up to 430 after some really good Watch/nCrave days _pale_

These are really wise words.

Swagbucks should be a bit of fun for pin money - hopefully something you can do at the same time as something else like watching TV or fiddling on your computer in the evening.

When you start spending 4 hours to get say 200 SB (roughly = £1) - then you have to ask yourself is it really a good use of your limited time on this planet :-)
The best way I find is to do a routine and let the stuff that plays on its own (toolbar TV, the Apps) earn as much for you as possible and do little more than that - then it really is free money - expect more than this and your 'hourly rate' rate will probably not be worth it.

Hiya! Here's my 2¢...!

I have the mobile apps, Swagbutton and nCrave all running at the same time, and the last few nights I've actually been leaving the Swagbutton running when I go to bed I will admit I am at home most days so do have a lot of time for Swagbucking.

That is a sure fire way to get your account deleted! Please don't run more than 1 at a time. It is specifically in their rules that you must only run one thing that you have to watch at a time. They do check up on things and you'll lose all your earnings.

Well, personal choice, of course, but I've been simultaneously running Mobile Apps, ToolbarTV, Watch, and nCrave (when available) for years! Plus working on Games or Surveys also. I cash out my SBs regularly, but I've never received a warning of any sort. There would be no point in running only one at a time, there isn't enough hours in the day! And we earn so little anyway. I remember someone posted that they had written in and asked if it was ok to run Apps and Watch together, and it was.

Ummm - I take your point but I run

Watch
toolbar TV
nCrave
Apps

all at the same time and have done for YEARS now and have never had a problem with it. I even got an add blocker for the apps a few months ago (posted by someone on here - cost £1.49 and yes, I know that is against the terms and conditions but without it I think I would have walked away from Swagbucks because the IOS apps were becoming unwatchable with all the adverts you had to manually 'X' your way out of)

If you had to do everything one after the other swagbucks is certainly not worth it - and I think even they know that - so I'm not sure thats the best advice.

Do you not run anything at all in parallel? For me the only way this is worth my time at all is to do a burst of things in parallel and then let the toolbar Tv run and run with minimum supervision ( a recent development) and then just do the bare minimum with nCrave and the apps games/daily to do list. Gets the daily total every time without intruding too much on life. or relying on surveys. Its not going to make me rich for sure - but I don't want it taking hours each day doing one thing after another just to earn 50p to £1.

But to your point - if I get banned for doing this - then so be it - I'll take the risk but I don't think its bending the rules too much and I'm sure the vast majority do the same thing - but I may be wrong - if I am I'll post it here :-)

:eek: To be honest, I didn't know that was in the rules (who honestly reads the T&Cs these days...?) but thanks for the heads up! I always cash out as soon as I hit £25 Paypal, so I don't have loads of SB at risk if the worst happens.

Whilst it would be a real shame for me to have my account deleted (it's a vital source of income for me ), as you say, it's not worth it if I can't do it efficiently, ie running several things at once.

I can't event try to run 2 things at the same time, how do folks do it? After a short time one of them either cuts off or the other says "this activity was not fully completed"

Anyone else tried gold survey 1062004 (supposed to be 10 mins to earn 18 SB) and is a tick box survey? It gets to a drag to rank priorities question (with an option of selecting "no priorities") and then says you have to drag them all or select "no priorities" in order to move on but, having dragged them all, doesn't let you move on, selecting "no priorities" on its own doesn't work, and neither does both prioritising and saying none at the same time.

You cannot run the SAME THING at the same time - e.g.runniing nCrave in two different windows, running the apps on two differernt phones at the same time ,running watch or toolbar TV in two different windows at the same time etc

We are saying you run different options at the same time - so run nCrave and toolbar tv and watch at the same time on your PC whilst running the apps on your phone.- this works no problem.

At the same time as this you can do the 5x2SB play, do search or do surveys...

This is the best way to maximise the amount of SB you can earn in a period of time.

If not you will sit there for hours and hours and only earn a pound if you are lucky - surely not worth it - even to those where every pound counts.?

yeah (although weirdly was 9min and 26sb for me). Stuck on same screen (after way more than 9 mins had passed too), have submitted a ticket for it.
