    Hi CC2,
    I always find this confusing, a check on the following site says that 9am PT is 5pm BST.
    http://www.timebie.com/timezone/pacificlondon.php
    I double checked and I'm sure the swago starts at 5pm on Monday.

    Sounds about right to me.

    don't cash out just yet though, as there is a swago tomorrow and
    it usually has a box for redeeming a gift voucher
    Am not ordering a GV till swago starts just in case :)

    The 50 SB swago is mostly a shop one which does not require a purchase but I usually keep enough for close to 2 gift cards in hand anyway.

    The 300 sb swago with "spin to win" nearly always has a gift card square and you can win swagups on the spins so I keep the giftcard square till last that way if I have won a swagup on all but the last few spins I can use that and mark the square with one purchase and there is enough to get another one "just in case".

    Had an e-mail from Swagbucks
    Here's an exclusive deal just for you! Earn a bonus 25 SB when you shop through Swagbucks before 5/9/2018.*

    So what are you looking for?
    !!!8226; Amazon (plus 7 SB per dollar**)
    !!!8226; Walmart (plus 4 SB per dollar**)
    !!!8226; Drugstore.com (plus 8 SB per dollar**)
    !!!8226; Target (plus 2 SB per dollar**)
    This offer is valid only to recipients of this email who have not shopped through Swagbucks before and who make a qualifying purchase on items eligible for Swag Bucks between 5/6/2018 and 5/9/2018

    I clicked through just to see if there was anything for Amazon UK (there was not) and thought no more of it.

    Checking my account just now and noticed
    Other: Bonus for checking out Shop & Earn 25SB

    they might take the swagbucks back but it is worth just clicking through the e-mail if you get one in case they do not.

    Because you have been away for a long time they are giving you a low personal first target (and I expect the second one will be relatively low too).

    They also now seem to be maintaining the number for a longer run than they used to (but still generally lower at the weekend).

    Final comment - they used to give bonus SB of 10% of the target and have now cut back to be 1 or 2 below the 10% figure.

    So of course it went up to 60 on a day when I've been out since 7am and just got home. Grrrr. I bet I can't get a survey!
