    Not strictly a SB question but wondering if anyone can help...

    I recently received $5 in my paypal account for a survey I completed. When I view my paypal total balance, it converts that $5 in GBP to show me my total balance of that $5 and my previous balance.
    However, if I go to pay for something or do a bank transfer, it will only allow me to use the balance that was already in GBP.
    How would I spend or use the dollars?

    I started swagbucking just after Christmas and am doing quite well. Every day my goal has been 30 points, which I have managed every day so far. Then this morning it's 80! Can anyone tell me if this is normal? If I get this goal will it be even higher tomorrow, are they trying to stop my getting the monthly bonus? Thanks, M2m.

  • First target is never usually much more than 80/90 in my experience.

    Your second target is a different story. ;)

    Gold survey SSI2322540 stated 60 SB for 4 mins (it was certainly no more than that) it maybe one of those general survey numbers but it was a "Nielsen" survey on Eastern Europe Holiday destinations,
