Dumb question #1 - is it 10 different games, or 10 'rounds', where you can play the same game multiple times?

You can play just one game if you like, and get swagbucks every other game. Some of the newer games do not pay off at all, but, crusher and foozle will!

When I try to do a survey it will say "Redirecting you to survey" then it will say done and the page is blank. I have tried to play games, and at first it worked fine. As of yesterday my screennis just blank, nothing comes up.

For the newbies.....

The easiest points are in special offers, then click on radium one. Almost all of the 1 swagbucks (SB) are look at the ad, get an SB.

MAny of the games will give you points: I think the fastest and easiest is FYOOZD, I did mispell it earlier.

At the home page, every day there is a poll worth 1 SB and NOSO is worth 2.

Searches: I find the first few searches of the day are very easy to get points for. After that it gets harder but I usually get 2-3 wins. It does not matter what your search term is, so, knock yourself out! Have you ever wondered what a Monkey Puzzzle tree looks like, or a Chinese womans bound foot? There are pictures on-line, and looking them up through the Swagbucks search engine will get you usually 6-12 SGs per win. You CAN get more than that: I got 19 points on a dearch last week and I have gotten more, but that is unusual.

Lastly, the TV clips. They do not pay well, but they can get you up to your daily goal, which which can get you bonus points. You get 3 points per 10 clips watched. Now, they might not be very profitable but I LIKE watching the news clips with breakfast. BBC, I have noticed, can put world news into a nutshell, so you can get a quick overview of any big worldwide story.

There are, of course, many ways to gets SGs, but the above gives a lot of SGs for a fairly short time of effort. Doing the above I get $25+ per month.

If any newbie wants to sign up, it is done by either going to Swagbucks to sign up or send their e-mail address to a member, and they can send you an invitationl.

Ok so Swagbucks officially hates me!! LOL I played FYOODZ about 20 times tonight and got 0 yes 0 swagbucks.
I have tried many many many surveys and it always says, redirecting you to your survey....and then it says done and it is nothing but a blank screen.
I have also done a bunch of searches and I dont think I have gotten any swagbucks for those either.
I have been working at this relentlessly for about a week and I have 174 swagbucks.
I have watched a couple of TV things but not received any swagbucks. I dont know whast I am doing wrong.

Fyoozd sometimes glitches the points: when it does I just immediately move on to crusher. You should get paid every 2 games.

And, TV gives rewards every 10 clips. Look in the upper right hand corner and you will see a triangle that says 20% or some such thing: when you hit 100% you will be rewarded 3 points.

I am more likely to get rewarded for searches if it is first thing in the morning, before most Swaggers are searching. My breakfast time might be 6 AM, but that is 4 AM on the coast and so that is a reduction of 1/3 of the competition!

The videos on the homepage (Chevy and 5 Hour Energy) are crediting multiple times. Just go back and click the link again - after 3-4 times you will get "offer unavailable" but then if you go back later they'll be back again.

Have 505 SB after a week, not too bad for only doing it while watching TV. Was able to do a survey today for 60.

So I noticed that a $5 AGC was 450 SB, and a $10 was 1000; is there a reason the $5 is cheaper and if/when you would ever want to get a larger denomination one?

A question!

The IPSOS surveys say that they will send an e-mail the next day so that the survey can be completed, but then they never do. Instead I let the computer hibernate with the window open so that I can finish it the next day and get credit.

Has anyone found a more efficient method of doing their surveys? Perhaps there is a way to actually GIVE the IPSOS people my e-mail so that they CAN send me an e-mail??? It occurs to me that they do not have it!

I leave the window open as well, Terri.

nick--you can only get 5 of the 450 point amazon gift cards in any month...this month's special has lower prices on the bigger cards and no limit on the # bigger ones...usually they are more swagbucks and limit of 5.

I am new to this forum AND I am new to swagbucks. I don't get it! Since it was cold and rainy today and I had no where to go, I spent about 3 hours (while doing other things) on swagbucks trying to earn points. I have earned a whopping 36. How on Earth are you earning 100 a day??

Someone mentioned 75 swagbucks from swagTV. It took 20 minutes to watch 10 videos and earn 3 points. How are you getting 75?

I tried doing surverys. I got rejected every time and earned about 12 points for being rejected. It took forever!

Either I am truly dumb (a definite possibility!) or I am just not understanding how to make points/money on this site. Would someone, please, feel sorry for a newbie idiot and give me a clue??

I got 10 points for playing games, 50 points for a survey, 6? for playing the videos on the main page, 3 points for the poll and noso, and I won 3 times on searches for 6, 10, and 11.

Oh, about the TV? You don't have to watch the whole thing if you do not want to. Look at the upper right hand corner. When it goes, for eample, from 10% to 20% that means you have been credited. It takes perhaps 90 seconds to get credit for a TV clip. Even so it would take a long time to get 75 points!

Also check the special offers, radium one. There are often a lot of one point videos on there, and you can play a couple at the same time.

Oh, yes. I do searches while the TV is running. And, I do a couple of searches between games. And... etc.

What games are you playing? All the ones I looked at said you had to reach level 100 or win a random drawing. Are the games where you just earn points for playing? How do I know which ones they are?

Thank you for your reply!

Go to the upper left hand corner to "earn". Then click on games.

Choose "crusher", which is the most reliable. play that one and then SUBMIT your score! You will get 2 points every OTHER game.

Oh!

I fogot to say that the search engine will only pay once per hour, for a maximum of 4 times! I generally sit down more than once during the day, and that is why I win more than once!
