    was swagbucks better before covid 19? like been on it a week i just feel its alot of effort for not much reward.
    No, it's been like this for months now   :/
    COVID has been going for months now. 
    Yes, there's been a general consensus on the forum that COVID has meant less surveys and offers, plus they've also removed Watch/the video apps in this time. However, generally most people would also acknowledge that swagbucks can be difficult for newbies until you get the hang of recognising what is worth your time and what isn't. The guide in the first post is helpful 
    I've been with Swagbucks for years and it definitely has gone downhill in the last year or so.  But, like a mug I still do it!!  I'm lucky if I manage to get £300 a year out of them. x
    Same! I've not actually done the maths on how much I get now compared to before. I think I wouldn't start as a newbie but as someone who has done it for a while I seem to keep going out of habit

    £25, £10 and £50 all cost the same equivalent amount value - they all work out as 650sb per £5 so it makes no difference which one of these you go for. Just avoid the £5 vouchers as they cost 700sb

    thats during covid, care to layout how youve reached that amount in less than 3 months? Most of the big SB tend to be free trials and buying products.

    I had topped £100 a month and regularly got between £60 and £80 - taking a very limited number of surveys (earned over £500 in the year direct from survey sites) and not touching any paid for offers or download game apps etc
    Having an underlying £50 or so a month from mobile watch/toolbar TV and searching was a good start. (I haven't included £500 won from a survey originally linked to from swagbucks)

    All from doing surveys, and went through the site for 2 purchases for 44SB and 79SB
    I do all the gold surveys it allows me, always do the daily poll 
    I did as many as the peanut surveys it allows but thats slowed down ive noticed to this last week I have started completing surveys on AdGate Media 
    I have done 2 swago boards as well not full boards but have had i think 50SB each time.
    I tend to do some with breakfast before i start work, then an hour after work while watching tv

    I am managing about £60 a month. I only started in May. Took me some time to work out what's worth my while. I never do anything that I need to pay for, only free stuff but I do put the time in. I'm not working atm thanks to CV19 so I'm doing some online courses and I complete surveys that come up whilst studying. I have the mobile app too and I complete stuff whilst TV ads are on of OH is watching football. If I was working I would not be achieving this amount as I just wouldn't be able to put the time in. 

    Btw there's a search collectors bill available for 21sb today.

    Is it just me or is Hideout TV a very,  very poor payer that hardly ever delivers points  on a consistent basis - it often gets "stuck" on the points but the videos keep playing ? at one time it was a nice little background earner
