They've reduced the cashback on shopping now, I get a weekly order for my Mom through SB and it WAS 1%.

Now its 0.8%. Suppose its more pruning.

Potentially a double hit earn less SB and pay more for some vouchers

I've never looked at the games section before except of course for the 6 points daily free games. Ive recently had a go at Mistplay and am almost at my first £5 cash out after quite a lot of hours playing. 
Made me think I could perhaps have a go on the swagbucks games after all. I am going abroad for 10 days next week and will have time whilst chilling to have a go. Can anyone recommend some easy games that I could have a go at?
TIA

Just had a survey start with the first question "Do you have a household income of more than £250,000 a year?" - And got booted out for answering no, to which you have to wonder; what planet are these people living on where someone in that income bracket is doing market research for pennies. It boggles the mind, really. They must WANT people to lie just to get their quotas for their clients.

Yes it’s awful. I don’t t know whether to keep going and save for the £100 and redeem £5 vouchers periodically as there is no incentive to save up and go for the £25 or £50 as it is just as expensive. Then they will probably close your account when you reach £95 so a risky strategy 

really the whole thing is a con because the surveys have got less and you have to pay more to redeem vouchers.

Careful - Swagbucks does not operate in many countries, and you may find you are not allowed to log in, depending on where you are going.  For instance, I was unable to log into Swagbucks when on holiday in Malta.

I am just cashing out for two £3 Amazon vouchers a day when I have the balance to do it, because that is the best value I can get at the old rate of 1SB = £1.  No doubt they, and the £1 Amazon as well, will increase in price soon.

5700 SB here and not sure what to do. Should be getting a 300 SB Swagup from the team challenge.

Was initially planning to keep going to 10k SB and withdraw £100 but also a bit nervous of investing much more time and in the end getting blocked for no reason and denied payment. Any recommendations? 

Was actually thinking of withdrawing small amounts of 5-10 USD into Paypal to reduce the balance instead of accepting the rather bad conversion rates from SB to get paid in GBP. 

Paypal conversion rates are bad too but just not as bad as the conversion from Swagbucks. Will stop using after as not worth my time, especially in the summer.

Thanks Molly it’s such a shame that they haven’t kept the value of the vouchers. Perhaps we should all complain but given the responses I normally receive it would be like banging your head against a brick wall😂

I cannot imagine that there would ever be any point in complaining.  Swagbucks/Prodege are a huge, multi-million dollar business, and they did not get that way by being generous with their payouts!

I use Mistplay as well and it is really slow to build up points. 

I have not played any of the games on Swagbucks recently, but the last few times I went for games that had various levels you aimed for to get points, so at least I got some, even if I didn't reach the final goal in time frame.

I also check on Reddit to see how easy/hard it is to reach goal, sometimes they also give tips on how to play the game as well.  Generally do a google search for "how easy is it to reach level ? in ? days for ? SB then add "in name of game"
