Swagbucks 2022

Would be nice if the weekday codes were going to improve to compensate, but of course that's not likely. Wish Swagbucks were always looking for ways they could add to our earnings rather than take away from them.

Hi all,
New to this. Has Swagbucks asked anyone to send official ID e.g driving licence? Thanks.

Not as far as I'm aware. Generally you can use Swagbucks by providing the usual details and verifying your email address.

Not sure if they still send out any postcards to your home address but I always just verify payout requests by clicking the link in the email.

If you want to request PayPal there are a few basic verification rules here for that.

Swag bucks is getting worse. Does any one remember the tv you watched tv and earned 3sb and it ran automatically, games you used to get 10sb and sometimes 100sb search’s. Remember those blue box vids we got and you would get 2sb for watching them

Does that mean for a short while. Won’t that effect collector bills on teams weeks?

Swagcodes don't affect searches, and so cannot affect collectors' bills.

Of course. 😅

I remember when £60 to £80 a month was possible almost entirely from just letting mobile videos run plus a few search wins along with letting *toolbar tv and some videos on the site also just run - never needed to complete a survey, take up a discover offer or use cashback so very little time needed to be spent actively doing anything (because the mobile apps paid so well the daily target and monthly master were always got).

Part year (2016) when I started SBs and with a few other bits (except competitions) earned £554, full year £1608, £1004, £721 and £910 - I now maybe get £10 to £15 a month from SB in the same amount of active time as when getting the £60 to £80 a month.

Apart from the rewards being lower almost everything now needs active time spent on it rather than being something that can be left to run

This is just another squeeze, same as lower SB for search results, removal of videos and less games per day/ It isn't the amount, after all it's only a few SB, but it's the principal. They're obviously going through some kind of decline, but instead of stepping up and doing their job they take it on their long time members by skimming and penny-pinching them (which is small for us individually but adds up big for them). One day they'll just disappear, and this is why it's always best to cash out asap whenever you can because you never know when that day will come - it always comes for these shady businesses, it's just a matter of when not if.

On the flip side, it's one less menial task to do at the weekend.

You can redeem for as little as 100SB for £1 Amazon - exactly the same conversion rate as if you redeemed 10,000SB for £100 Amazon!  Or, of course, any other gift card, or Paypal.  I don't know how long they will keep all the conversion rates at par, but there is really no point in accumulating any sizeable balance within Swagbucks at the moment.  (Some years back, it used to be worth saving up £25 or £50 to get the very best conversion rates - but not now.)
