    Looks like they have settled on the reduction from the 40 SB they usually were.
  • It's very frustating that I purchased a new phone (though it was only £15) for the apps and then they change the limit! I think I'm going to stick with Swagbucks a little longer but I'm not going to aim for the daily goal anymore. Apart from the odd holiday I've pretty much hit the daily target since I started Swagbucks just under 3 years ago but with this app limit is going to make hitting the target stressful and time consuming which I just don't need!

    At least even at the reduced level of 34 sb a day you will still get your money back in about 2 months - running the apps plus spending no more than 10 mins a day on swagrun, daily poll , survey DQs etc is bringing me around 55 - 60 SB a day (£150 - £160 a year).

    Why would it be stressful? You're talking about pence here.

    Thats the important thing to me. It is just pence, but if you're doing a routine, you (I!) try really hard to complete. Eventually you have to step back and say, absolutely not worth it for the reward. For instance, I'm not even going to try to fill in the Discover section any more - I realised I've been taking 10 minutes a day trying one way or another to get it ticked. The complete to do bonus isn't worth that!

    I have run all the apps for a pittance and neither of my last four search wins have been collectors bills.

    Compared to prolific which I thought I would try again this morning- £9.10 made and cashed out.

    I will carry on with SB as my activity this year paid for 1/2 of my holiday, but I will strip back my effort.

    I agree, the rewards have been reducing steadily over the last 12 months. The amount offered for surveys are increasingly poor and it's so hit and miss if they even credit. Discover is mostly a waste of time so l rarely bother these days

    I'm going to continue to run the apps and do the minimum but will dedicate the time saved to alternative sites. I'll probably do a mixture of direct survey sites and maybe InstaGC, Gifthulk or Grabpoints.

    I really appreciate the regulars on here for all the help they put in. A big thank you to all of you :beer:
