    Today's to do lists are 4 and 7

    I see quite a few people posting these tips - where do I find these options in the mobile app?
    Are there any general tips for newbies please?

    Thanks!

    No, there isn't a 14SB daily cap on the Watch videos.
    Via the app there seems to be - is this different when accessing via the website?

    Ah great, thank you!
    But when people say "today's bonuses are..." - what are they referring to and how do I claim them? :)

    That's the 'To Do List' bonuses for completing or partly completing the list, you should be able to see the To Do List in the drop down menu from the 3 horizontal bars to the left of a mobile home page?
    Not sure whether they add to your daily total or are added to the monthly bonus, which needs claiming when it shows up under the 'daily goal' dropdown. Check how much your earning using the 'recent activity' options.

    Oops...looks like that one got away!
    The playlist you are looking for is not currently available. But don't worry, there are plenty more fish in the sea!

    Is it just me this happens to ? ...this is the message I have been getting for the last week every time i try to access any of the Watch videos......I get thrown to the encrave video for 1 SB instead.
    This is annoying as I use the 2/3sb videos as a last resort to finalise my daily target.
    Is it just me or are others suffering as well?

    Same, a 'soft' ban. I think they've updated the software rules making it easier to get banned. I lost vids for 2 or 3 days before getting this longer ban.

    Edit: I'm not chasing the daily targets anymore and feel much better!!

    Thanks for quick reply---I get this treatment on the Edge browser and the Chrome browser but the Opera browser works ok ..........But why the ban ? why not say it is a ban and give a reason ?
    Likewise on the targets - I have now been concentrating on my surveys that are independent of Swagbucks............I am just annoyed not devastated..................
    Thanks once again

    I get that message when I use the public library computer, which is most of the time these days so I don't bother with Watch and don't try to achieve the target every day.

    I remember the days when I would get bothered near the end of a month, wondering whether I would get the full month's worth of bonus points for a clean sweep. I must say I'm more relaxed now!
  • Not sure if this is old news to everyone else but I only did it for the first time today so...


    I've been wondering for ages if you can pay a prepaid MasterCard into PayPal so you can effectively combine them, or just pay them into your back account and today I did it, fee free. It only took a few seconds as both my husband and myself have PayPal accounts. He just added the card as a payment method on his PayPal and then I sent a request for the £25 that was stored on it. He then clicked to pay, chose that card as his payment method and it went through immediately. It took less than 2 minutes total to do. As the exchange rate is pretty good for MasterCard on Swagbucks atm that's definitely the way I am going to be redeeming them from now on.
    MFW - OP 10% each year to clear mortgage in 10 years!
    2019: £16,125/£16,125
    2020: £14,172.64/£14,172.64
    2021: £12,333.62/£12,333.62
    2022: £10,626.55/£10,626.55
    2023: switched tactics to saving in a higher interest rate account than mortgage interest rate
    2024: mortgage neutral!
