Looks like it should be easy tomorrow if we're due to be credited for our winning streaks etc.

The monthly bonuses don't count towards the daily target. And yes I would say that part of the thread is no longer

Darn. Always a flaw in the cunning plan!

But at least the bonus is available to claim now.  You do have to "claim" it: it is available automatically but you need to click to claim.

I am so angry... I just spent 16 flipping minutes of my life on survey 132359657 (Est 20 mins) and got booted off.
It seemed like it was getting to the end and about to give me the thank you message. Bearing in mind I've attempted 10 surveys in the past couple of hours and every single one has booted me, very double peed...
I bet there would be a revolt at SB HQ if the boss suddenly said "you know that last 16 mins you've worked... I'm not going to pay you for it!"

Prolly bad form to quote oneself but happy to advise this one now credited in full! 
Oh, and just claimed swag of bonuses... halfway to third £25 already and only signed up 1 week into March!

Mouseytrap.......youre doing really well!! Im happy if I make £10 a month but then I only do the basics and the occasional survey so an easy tenner a month. Ive been on swagbucks since 2012 so earnt a fair bit over the years but surveys really bore me. Have to really be in the mood or need to do one to complete one of the two swagboards a month. Used to be so much easier to earn more when the video apps were running and odd videos to watch were on the site.

I have a query regarding games.  Just downloaded Coinmaster, (don't know if I will reach target, but thought I would give it a go), but I don't want it connected to my Facebook account so have signed in as a guest.  Am slightly worried that I won't get the SB as a guest player, has anyone else done this as a guest and did you get your SB?

Has anyone got any suggestions of other games I might try which are relatively easy?  Thanks

YouGov?
Does anybody else dabble with YouGov - I don't generally pay much heed to it because the minimum redemption is £50 (equating to 100 x standard 50 point surveys). 

Yesterday I completed a media survey, following which I was asked to give permission to access my TV/video viewing history.  I allowed access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and Disney+ and skipped Apple+TV, which I don't have.  I was immediately credited with 1,900 points (worth £19), the whole exercise took a matter of seconds (no more than a minute).  I then got a message saying they would take another snapshot next week.

This all seems too good to be true (the hourly rate is massive), has anybody else had the same, if so, is there a catch?  

I was with Yougov and recieved payments fine, it is a slow burning site. Just before christmas I stopped receiving surveys and put it down to being christmas but since then haven't had any surveys. The login doesn't work either and doesn't send me the login code, so I suspect they closed my account. The media survey one I only had once most of the others were tv viewing ,activities that sort of thing.

EDIT

Just noticed that if you click your activity, it tells you your lifetime amount at top right of screen - on a laptop

*********************************************************************************

I am on a laptop, so if you hover over the SB in top right hand corner, you will see your SB name, if you click on that it tells you what level you are on and how many SB you have earned.  If you then scroll down the page it tells you how much you have earnt for surveys, bonus points etc.

MollyR, did you resolve the referral link problem from last Swago? I'm now having the same problem, I think.

I think I may have solved the problem of people not being able to sign up as my referrals!  I was looking at my Member Recognition page (to see how much I had earned since I joined) and I discovered that if I scrolled right down to the bottom of the page there was a small paragraph saying:

"Profile visibility: Enable referral SB earning and allow viewing from other members (maximize my earning potential)"

and a checkbox, which was empty.  I ticked the box, and tested a referral with a dummy address - and it worked!  I don't know when it became necessary to tick that box, but I do suspect that it was the cause of my problems.  We'll see when the next Swago comes around!

I did that game - excellent payer at 1500 - and I don't have a FB acct so played as guest. I started on 14/3 (and that is showing in the visited page of activity), I finished the required level on 22/3 and I believe it showed up in the pending section for a few days from the 23rd, and dropped nicely into my pot promptly on the 28th. 
Between that one and the big bonus (2600SB was it?) for signing up via the mse link, that's why I'm doing so well. 

I only wish I could figure out what drug someone was on when they wrote Board Kings. Cant even figure out what I'm supposed to do and stuck on lvl 7 in some kind of siege???  Think I'm over my 10 days now so too late. If I'm not going to get paid I should uninstall otherwise I'm getting distracted from games I could still get paid for. 

If I request the link sent to my phone but dont install on my phone for a few days, I'm hoping the time limit (if given) goes from date downloaded??? 

Oh, your last bit...
I really like Kitten Match, which I started 15/3 for 128 (easy, but very young girly, have been paid) . There was also a very quick Candy Crush Soda one I found that I'd finished by the next day, but I have a feeling I didn't get paid for that one and didn't chase in time.
The ones I have failed on are Board Kings, as above, and Grand Harvest, which seems to take 3 crop harvests over the space of 3 hrs to attempt the solitaire game once and if you don't succeed and move to the next card game/level you have to wait all over again!!!  I'm still on my 4th crop after the allowed time, target was 11!!!  They really want your money. Not very impressed with that one.
Word Life, for 129 SB, target lvl 221, was so very very boring I nearly topped myself and gave up, but for some reason they paid me 64 SB anyway without me finishing or complaining!!!  Ditto boring Hexa Jigsaw, 125 stars for 26 SB, but held on long enough...
I've got Harvest Land currently in progress, 15 lvls, for 153 SB, nice little game, plus Smart Duck Match 3 (currently stuck on a lvl) and a couple of lower value fine motor games I'm rubbish at. Next on my list to download are Elvenar, Tribez, Super Miner and Yahtzee Buddies - any advice welcome!!!

Well spotted! Just looked at mine and it was unticked too. Thank you for coming back to let me know.  Fingers crossed it works now!

On another note, my YourSurvey score is always very good and well in the hundreds and in the green zone. I had it pop up for the first time in a while today as I took a bit of a break from SB and it's now it's red, in the 80s and says critical!  How on earth can that happen? I know it drops when it doesn't receive positive survey completions for a while but to be critical? I'm wondering if I'm about to receive a banning, having done nothing wrong!!
