How on earth do you manage to reach both goals so early on? I'm always still scratching around trying to meet my first goal at 10 in the evening, and that's despite being in an out of the site ALL DAY!!

What is your first goal?

- 1 SB Daily Poll
- 2 SB Daily Offers (NOSO)
- 10 SB from Daily games
- 2 SB per Ncrave cycle
- At least 5SB from a random search, I usually get two per day
- All the mobile video apps, I don't use them myself but others do them all daily
- video playlists on the site that give SB for watching, just click next video after 30 seconds

All the video things can be run in the background so you can do other things whilst they are running. Offers, Surveys, random codes posted here. A bog-standard survey should net you 30-40 SB and there are often dozens of them every day. At least once a day flush your browser of cache and cookies.

I see a lot of people who say this, today was good as I managed to do 2 daily surveys (often I don't qualify)

For what its worth, my goals were 150 and 290 today.
I started at 8am as I knew there would be an early code. I use a computer to do SB so have a reasonable amount of screen space.
First thing I do is to open a window and run the watch videos, then, in another tab, I run encrave (using ctrl and tab to switch the focus back to another tab yet still leave Encrave running). Then I open up the swagbutton and run Watch on there. They all run at the same time and I just click as and when needed to nurse them along to the next video.

Then I start the mobile apps on an old phone.

That takes just a few mins, then I open another window and see if I qualify for any surveys and do those. Then the NOSO and Daily Poll, 10 rounds of games.

I check now and then for surveys and instants, search now and then to see if I get a search win.
Today's second goal was 290 I hit that reasonably quickly and currently have 304 made up of the following
mobile watch 40
search 8
codes 15
surveys 157
games 10
noso 2
daily poll 1
sb tv 39
encrave 32

The surveys make a big difference, but even without those I'd just about have the first goal which is higher than usual and I am two mobile apps down today which is worth 20SB.

It's 150 today. I reach my first goal every day doing all the above, but it's just so painful to do! I'd be stuffed without NCrave. Very rarely get surveys, usually D'qed before they get started, and I try about 10 a day, maybe I'm just not what they're looking for! I just get frustrated spending so much time for so little reward. For example today, I have been running the mobile apps since 8 this morning, and I'm only half way through the 3rd set. There is a ridiculous ad for the Mobile Strike game that goes on for 1 minute, then you have to x out of it to proceed. I'm getting that between every single video, and no bonus rounds to compensate. It's been like this for nearly 3 weeks now

I just wondered how others reach their goals so quickly, I guess everyone experiences different issues with the site.

My first target was 150 when I started this morning but at some point it changed to 110 and my second target is now 150?!

It looks like everyone started with a first goal of 150 SB today, they probably increased it because of the amount of codes they're running today. A bit cheeky!

My first target is 130, second target is 150.
Still not got to the first one yet

Is anyone else having a problem with the apps? I keep getting a black screen with web in the left hand corner and advertisement in the right but it won't move on

Yes, I use an iphone and it seems to be a current, common problem. I believe its running okay on android phones if you have that option

Hey there,


I'm using an old cheap android phone and I get the odd advert which is pretty tricky to press the X to get out of, sometimes I have to kill the app and reopen - but not getting any mobile strike adverts. Also for most of my adverts it carries on playing the video behind the scenes


Also have you selected a favourite from the "Short Clips" menu - where it has the stand up comedians? You can almost always find a 20 second joke on one of them - set that to favourite and then just run that favourite over and over again - it should not take hours (adverts aside) to get the full 60SB on all 6 apps - or rather you don't have to sit there for hours - you can dip in and out of them just checking for adverts. In the good old days you used to be able to get 100's of SB for running the apps....times have changed)


Remember also you can have 2 watch windows open and one nCrave (but you need to leave the mouse over encrave for Discovery Mode to work).


So I have 3 windows open after I've done the daily poll, played the game etc.


www.swagbucks.com/watch


open on the left of my screen, and try and find the 3SB watchlists to go through first (check out News and Politics)


In the middle I have the watch toolbar


http://toolbartv.swagbucks.com/


which you have to manually step through but get 3SB each set of 10.

and on the right of my screen I have nCrave.


so basically every 10 minutes or so you get 10SB+ between them.


So you factor that in, with the apps and play you should fairly easily get your first target every day but you are still talking about an hours effort for the equivalent of 50p. Trying to get much more than that basically involves relying on hopeful search wins or not running out of surveys and more watch/nCrave. Depending upon your point of view, is not a very good return for the time we are putting in, unless you are doing something like watching TV at the same time.


For me the best use of swagbucks is just getting to that first target as quickly as possible, get the daily and monthly bonuses and then just get on with the rest of my life! I remember when I started I was going for the second target each day (300-400 for me) and it was taking me 5 hours or so to do it (Assuming you have run low on surveys!) - that's something stupid like 40p an hour :-)

enter surveylove in the code box on the SB homepage before 4pm for 5 SB
