dunnm1 said:Phew, got the bonus finally!
It was the App giving me grief, worked first time on website (must remember).
It was my 2nd biggest bonus ever (720SB) and it was my (despite of all the swagbucks squeezes on points) my first ever month of 10,000+ SB.
Thank you RevU × 31 -
The Friday CB is 12sb for a Discover activity. I got it for earning 1sb for a Theorem Reach DQ.Still no sign of Wednesday's CB.2

May I ask how many hours you have invested for those ca £100? Curious on the hourly rate.
Hourly rate
Short answer – not enough for mjm3346 or yourself to be interested in.
Longer answer (Disclaimer – all based on guesstimates and back of fag packet calculations)
Firstly (important for context), an analysis of daily earnings across the 30 days. 11 days where earnings were 80-120 SB. 8 days where earnings were 500 – 950 SB. The high earning days were all whist RevU was double or treble. Low earning days were ones where there wasn’t good rates of earnings, mostly weekends.
I am banned from SB surveys so rely on RevU and the other relatively low scoring bits and bats that are available.
Approx. 60% of total earning came from RevU (relatively) high scoring (67SB/58SB/45SB/38SB) surveys during bonus times. These surveys most often state 15 mins but I would say an average of 10 mins is closer to actual. No points are given for screen outs so no records but I guesstimate a 50% screen out rate and it takes 2 minutes of unpaid effort. Over 90% of my surveys were 67/45SB rather than 58/38SB so will ignore lower scoring option.
The split between 67 and 45 looks to be about 70:30 therefore
12 mins (10 min survey+2min screen out) 67SB = 335 SB / hour
12 mins (10 min survey+2min screen out) 45SB = 225 SB / hour
60:40 equates to 291 SB / hour
The other 40% of earnings – other surveys & bits and bats – earnings rates of <1 (only thing I knowingly do at this ultra-low rate is solitaire but I enjoy) – 4 SB min – I will assume a (very conservative given monthly bonus of 300SB etc) average of 2 SB / min = 120SB hour
291 @ 60% + 120 @ 40% equates to 222.6 SB / hour
Observations / Conclusions
1. Abnormally good month for me because of RevU contest / availability of surveys. During treble points I left a lot of easy SB out there on a few days because I felt a bit under the weather.
2. SB is very low pay – if you want better money get a paper round.
3. Don’t do it if you do not enjoy. November I had one eye on SB the other on the Christmas channel (partners choice).
4. Target effort rather than a personal daily goal.

If you want to make your time more worthwhile you could do surveys on freecash.com. In the past, when I did some discovery offers I got for the same offer sometimes 3 or 4x as much in rewards there vs. SB, which was showing how much of a cut SB actually takes.1 -
