    That said if you use the mobile apps , games (swagrun/jump), swago and pick up a few bucks elsewhere you will be able to get £10 to £15 a month in Amazon for almost no time per day - it is when you start to go beyond that the time per buck earned increases disproportionately.

    I have to agree with mjm3346 here; I just grab the low hanging fruit and it usually takes me 5 weeks or so to earn a £10 Amazon voucher, sometimes less if I get a few extra instant surveys that month or a lucky search win.

    You get diminishing returns on any other time invested, at least in my experience, and it's just not worth it.

    I just "finished" a survey on luxury perfume - there was an error, urgh, and "once the survey has closed, the correct status will be applied to your account, within 1 or 2 weeks". I keep letting myself get suckered in to answering surveys - and other than instants, I really shouldn't let that happen. I had a low daily goal, and it was tempting to think I might hit it. No more surveys for me, unless they're instant - they don't create the same kind of problems, do they?

  • So, a £100 Amazon voucher is currently 14400sb, but if you order ten (10) £10 Amazon vouchers @ 1360sb, that works out at 13600sb, a saving of 800sb.

    The will to live if you were willing to spend enough time on swagbucks to amass 14400 points and they then closed your account. Academic question.

    For months the £10 has been the best value Amazon Voucher and it is the only reason I do not redeem at £5 a time as it is never a good idea to let rewards mount up on survey sites etc

    £40 - £50 a month for almost no effort other than concentration is well worth my current time that I have.
