Re: Swagbucks

Looks like the referral program has reverted back to the previous arrangement (i.e. only searches count etc.)
Bit of a shame.

Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place Jon, but I can't contain my excitement and wanted to share my good news with other Shedders who assume things like this never happen to the likes of us!!

Tucked away in my emails this morning I found a rather understated message from Swagbucks letting me know I have won a 7" Kindle Fire HDX!! Woooohooooooo ;D!!!! I never win anything like this, and it has come just at the right time 8)

Now I have to admit that I feel ever so slightly guilty and undeserving of this prize! I joined Swagbucks at the end of January after reading about it on The Money Shed http://www.themoneyshed.co.uk/referrals/swagbucks/ using RedAlix's referral code (I owe you a pint or three RedAlix!!!). But due to constraints limiting how much time I spend on "Get Paid To" sites, I've been a casual Swaggernaut at best. One day in February I "blew" a load of Swag Bucks on sweepstake entries, and then promptly forgot all about them - until today! Devoted Swaggernauts would probably curse me if they knew how little I've done for such a big reward! I do apologise!

Once again - a huge thank you Jon for The Money Shed, and also thanks to RedAlix for your referral and The Reward Guy for your helpful hints and tips :-*. I've never owned any kind of tablet or even an e-reader before, so this is a massive deal for me and I wouldn't be the proud owner of my new toy without you all. Please excuse the gushiness - hope you understand!!!! :) :)

Thank you :)

Yes it's good that these sites are steadily catering for UK members too, and we're not being left out of the exciting stuff

Well done!

Tablets are great

I have an iPad Air at the moment and love the thing. From SkyGo to Spotify and everything inbetween. Tablets are FAR easier for browsing and reading than on any other device imo.

Get the Metro app if you travel to work like I do. Downloaded the latest edition of the Metro Newspaper each morning ready for you on your train journey to work.

Congratulations!

I've been trying for too long. I don't even get close. I normally spend around 300 Swagbucks on Swagstakes and I've been doing that for months, still no win. You have been very lucky on winning ;D

I've never owned anything like this before. It was absurdly easy to set up and personalise. Even the box is designed so you can get into it quickly and easily.

I'm off to a conference for a few days later today, so winning this is PERFECT timing.

Give the MayDay button a try

I have had a play around with it at work and it does it's job very well. Don't worry, you can see them but they CAN'T see you.

The way they can interact with the screen and give you help is really a unique selling point.

The Kindle Fire is so easy to use I've not come across anything I need help with yet, so I might have to make something up just to try Mayday out!

Re: Swagbucks

I think that my suspicions about the accuracy of the referral system was misplaced. I have a new referral that is steaming ahead and earned me 29 SBs in a week :) - thank you "George A" whoever you are!
I must just have a lot of referrals that sign up and then lose interest.

I noticed it still says 10% for life from your referrals from everything they earn so It looks like that is going to stay.
Looks like they are keeping that feature which is good news. :)

It's strange because all of the chat on their forum was that it was reverting back to the "old system", but you are right to point out the banner saying 10% on everything. I suppose the fact that George A has netted me 29 SBs in about a week would tend to suggest that it must be 10% on everything - you'd be hard pressed to earn 290 SB on searches alone!?

I feel inspired to write another blog post about this ;)

Re: Swagbucks

According to the Swagbucks forum >> http://blog.swagbucks.com/2014/01/new-referral-earning-opportunity.html
the offer is extended to 30th April 2014, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

George A is really getting stuck into Swagbucks - he has got me 39 SB already this week.
Just a shame the other 5 seem to be stuck on 2-3 each. Some people have no stamina! :(

When you got the referrals bonus on searches you would get the same amount, so if George A searched and won 7SB then you would also get 7SB.
