    If this bit from the MSE page is true




    and rewards remain as reduced as they are I think that will be time for me not to bother with the daily goal anymore.
    £5 Amazon Gift cards used to be 849 SB...that is the 'normal' cost.
    (I have been on Swagbucks for almost 4 years)

    so they have been in a sale for ages...
    720 now and less (600?) up to Christmas (if I remember right)

    Some of the earnings were reduced by more than any "sale" savings and they have not improved since the sale reductions were reduced, so earnings need to improve considerably when the cards return to full price or it is effectively yet another cut to earnings.

    A few examples
    Peanutlabs paid 34% more for basic surveys
    ToolbarTV paid over 700% more
    By my reckoning Search paid over 80% more
    The number of Ncraves has been slashed and payments per video dropped, the same also goes for the standard watch videos
    You have to play more videos for the mobile apps and they include far more ads.

    sorry, I did not realise you were speaking of earnings, as you wrote:
    "and rewards remain as reduced as they are.."

    which is why I wrote what I did about the rewards

    I see what you mean, I meant the reward for completing individual tasks but "earnings" is clearer
  • Anyone else not earning anything from EngageMe and Smores.TV? A few days ago I was earning quite a bit of SB from them and now I am earning nothing....
