    Did you double-count your bonuses? You only get the one bonus (either 1st or 2nd), not both (if you reach the 2nd target for a day). e.g. if your target/bonus for a day is 100/10 and 120/12 and you get 121 your bonus for the day is 12, not 22.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Although I did not make that mistake you did put me on track to figure out what I got wrong.

    I went through each day on the calendar and it very briefly shows the target 1 bonus and then immediately replaces it with the target 2 bonus. I assumed this meant I had actually earned the target 2 bonus (I wasn't bothering to look at the actual sb I earned each day, I just assumed the screen would only show me the bonus I actually earned). So for each day when I only achieved target 1 it still showed the bonus I would have earned if I hit target 2. So for the days when I only hit target 1 I was still using the target 2 bonus amount shown on screen instead of the smaller target 1 bonus that I actually earned. (I hope that makes sense!).

    Anyway, I have now recalculated, just about managing to read the target 1 bonus before it vanishes from view(!), and my bonus has been calculated correctly.

    Glad it helped - their display of historical bonuses/earnings could definitely use some work!

    Just after some advice. I did a Bose survey via swagbucks a few weeks ago, and have now been sent a seperate email from Bose asking me to participate in a 2 hour interview session in my home next month. They've asked for my address and contact details, which I'm reluctant to provide.

    Has anyone had any experience of doing these type of interviews with Bose?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not that company in particular, but that would be normal practice. I've had someone attend my home once or twice, it's normally very well paid. Just check that you're not doing it or free! I received £60-£80 for the last one I did.
