Swagbucks Must Have Been Listening

Last night, while commenting to a fellow myLotter on a thread about earning extra pennies, I mentioned that I was frustrated with Swagbucks due to the fact that for the past month, I have struggled to earn barely any swag bucks (SB's) on the site. I used to bang out a couple of surveys a day and earn at least 100 SB's every day, but for some reason over the past month I have struggled to earn even 15-20 SB's per day. I figured Swagbucks had determined I was making too much money off of them, and so started making it harder for me to earn SB's by sending me harder surveys to qualify for.
I woke up early this morning, and thought I'd give a Swagbucks survey a try while I was enjoying my morning coffee. Lo and behold, the very first survey I attempted I was able to complete and earn 100 SB's!
Thanks Swagbucks for listening and responding to my complaint last night on myLot! LOL

I guess every site goes through stages of good and bad. Overall, I've had a great experience with Swagbucks in the three or so years I have been active on their site, but I don't ever seem to recall a time when I've had such a drought as I've had this past month. But I'm still in it for the long haul, because SB is a great site!

@moffittjc I have earned a lot of money with Swagbucks. I have been doing it for years but lately, it is just too hard and time consuming for me. I am grateful for the opportunities I had there but things have changed so drastically that I have trouble earning. I still do it every day but don't obsess about it anymore.

@akalinus I limit myself to an hour a day on that site. In the past, I had no trouble earning 100 SB's or more in that hour's time. One the past month, I haven't been so lucky! LOL But today, I earned 100 SB's on one survey that took me less than 15 minutes to complete. Now, if I could only be that lucky on every survey I tried to do!

I am not eligible to do surveys. From the comments on the FB page, most do not credit even after they finish 100%. I decided that I can't spend 16 hours a day to earn a dollar with videos and one pointers. Even those only credit sometimes. I am looking for other places where it is easier to earn.

I've not had any issues in the past three years or so on the Swagbucks site with getting credited for the surveys I've completed. I could understand not wanting to continue on a site that doesn't follow through on paying out what they said they would pay out. Fortunately, my experiences with SB has been all positive.

Well I am glad they listened to you! Lol. They never listen to me because I never qualify for any of their surveys.

I have been on a roll today on that site! They must have loaded some really good and easy surveys today, because I'm banging them out like there's no tomorrow! It feels good to finally be earning lots and lots of SB's again on that site!

I remember when I first joined I was happy to get between 5-10 swag bucks, since I really didn't know what I was doing yet at that time. But as I kept learning more about the site, and learning the best ways to earn SB's, I started to get better at it. I consider it a complete disappointment if I can't earn at least 100 SB's per day now.

@JudyEv Swagbucks is definitely a site you have to play around in to figure out what works best for you. Some people love taking the surveys for swag bucks, some people hate it. Some people like watching videos, some hate it. You just have to find your balance on the site. Personally, I like doing the surveys, because I've figured out quickly which types of surveys are worth my time and which aren't, so I can easily breeze through a bunch of surveys and collect the swag bucks on them. There are a lot of people who will spend hours trying to take all the surveys and never qualify and earn their swag bucks. It's just figuring out your own personal rhythm on the site!

@moffittjc I've never been a member of this SB before so I don't really know how it works but I hope from now on you do get more things to do on there so you can earn!

I've been doing pretty well on the site. At least $2-$3 dollars (US) a day. Other than the one bad period of time I wrote about, the site has been good to me!

@VivaLaDani13 You can join! You should give it a try! But don't get frustrated if you don't earn a lot at first. You just have to play around with the site and slowly learn what works best for you! I have found the best success for me is completing surveys, but many other people find it easier to earn swagbucks by watching videos. There are many different ways to earn swagbacks on the site! Over time you should get better and better about earning money on the site!

It should be available in all countries, although I can't be 100% sure. Just try visiting swaybacks.com and see if it will let you create an account.

Wow, seven times! you must be a Swagbucks grand master! lol The most I've ever cashed out in one month is twice. But I try to only cash out when I have either $25 or $50 worth of swag bucks.

I haven't qualified for many surveys recently. I just do the daily poll and odd little bits to collect swagbucks.

Sounds like you and I have been doing the same thing lately on Swagbucks! I'll scrounge around the site and find little odds and ends that will earn me an SB or two!

There's many, many things you can do on the site to earn swag bucks! My preferred method of earning them is to complete surveys. I feel like I am a professional survey taker, I seem to be able to knock out these surveys in about half the time they tell you it takes to complete them! Many other people like to watch videos to earn their SB's, and you can also earn SB's from doing online searches or shopping online.

There are definitely better things I could be doing with my time, but I like earning extra money here and there, and it eventually adds up! It always worked to my advantage, because at my second job I had to sit at a desk with a computer for three hours a night. There never was any work to do, so I always played on the computer. The company had strict network controls in place and blocked just about every website that I tried to go to, but for some reason Swagbucks wasn't blocked, so I would just sit at the desk and collect a paycheck and play on Swagbucks and earn extra money there too! lol
