    If you google "hideout.tv" you should find it. It is a very slow accumulator of points and the redemption value to swagbucks is quite poor. However as you can choose when to redeem the points to Swagbucks I find that it is a way of keeping some swagbucks back for those days you might be short of your daily target.

    Others may have different ways that they use it.

    If you log in each day there is normally a pre-populated code in the redeem box which adds a few points.

    They also publish codes most days for additional points which people are kind enough to post on a separate hideout thread on this board

    100% correct.

    Priceless on weekends when I get no surveys whatsoever. :mad:

    Cobblers Boy? Northampton? Boooooooooooo. ;)

    While it is a slow accumulator of SB you have to trade this off against the fact your accumulating SB for basically nothing. OK so it needs to be open on a monitor, but you are still doing nothing but clicking on the odd captcha

    Where do I find hideout please?
    Under Discover, adscendmedia, click on one of the thumbnails such as food. You'll then need to register/log-in or it won't pay and that will take you to another site.

    I did a live chat thing on Tuesday night for 3000SB, not expecting it to credit but thought I'd give it a go, and it has appeared in my account this morning!

    I'm trying to cash it out in separate £5 Amazon vouchers as they're slightly less SB than the higher values, but it says I can only get two per day. Is this a new thing? I'm sure I've cashed out more smaller ones than that in a day before.

    A limit has been around for a while


    It would have been slightly better value to add to it and get a £25 mastercard and redeem it for £24 Amazon as even if you did not bother to redeem the final £1 the total cost of 3250 is less than the equivalent of 3360 using the £5 rate, if you redeemed the extra £1 then it would be 3250 vs 3500.

    (£25 using £5 amazon vouchers = 3500, a £25 Amazon is 3600 so even with a lost £1 the saving is bigger getting a mastercard than it is by using £5 Amazon cards instead getting a £25 one)

    Are these always at the top of the home page? I never seem to catch them when I log in, even if I'm quick!
