    I've just got 100 for searching for China tea sets!! Had to look twice,- thought it said 10.

    Didn't think you could get more than 20 for a search:D

    Will make up for not getting any surveys for the last couple of days.

    According to SB
    You can win multiple SB every day. Every search is a chance to win! SB can be won in denominations ranging from 1 - 1,000. Remember, winning is random!


    (I've had 100 a few times but never more than that - but still over 2,000 since 01/12/16)

    I think the most i have got on a search is about 20SB, never knew you could get 1000! Wonder how often that happens.

    Does anyone ever get SB from installing apps on their phone? Like the app a day one or installing a game and opening it? I have tried a few but they never credit. Not sure what i am doing wrong? Also if it doesnt credit, how can you prove that you installed it when raising a ticket? :)

    Yeah I'm calling BS on that, or the "every search" part at least (I do believe that winning is random).

    Seems that there's a time limit between wins or a minimum number of searches or something before you can trigger a win; I've never had a search win and then another straight after, which if it were truly random on every search the odds are I would have had several times by now.

    Didn't mean to appear as though I was calling you out by the way; I appreciate your post, it's Swagbucks wording I take issue with.

    I agree! I noticed that everyone was complaining about not having any search wins the other day and then all of a sudden, everyone seemed to get one at about the same time (including me, but I didn't post). I don't think it's as random as they are making out.

    Would explain why we can sometimes get search wins from other peoples posted search terms!

    Well, I just got a 4 SB search win, time to test the theory?

    Not exactly conclusive, took 4 or 5 searches to get 4sb, I'd already done at least that many before!

    Just got screened out of a survey because I hadn't spent over £2,500 on luxury products over the last twelve months (the lowest option). Am I wrong in thinking that anyone who spends over £2,500 on luxury products in a year probably wouldn't be filling out online surveys for a few pence a throw??

    Hmmm maybe they are though... maybe that's how they've got so much spare cash to splash!

    :D

    or they're desperately doing swagbucks surveys to try and pay off their credit card bills :eek:
