The Swagbucks Challenge

Getting fed up of surveys not crediting and having to put in a chase - they replied that the one i completed on the 2nd was credited on the 6th, but the only one that credited on the 6th, was the one i completed on the 6th, so yet another ticket in to complain!

This is happening more and more frequently with Swagbucks and with other survey sites. Toluna is the worst. They are on the point of being a scam. I think there's so much competition now that some of the survey sites are resorting to underhand tactics. They get people to complete the survey and theyn dq them. Newvistalive is one of the better ones but I find Onepoll the best. At least they're honest and you get paid. I had to complain about three surveys on Swagbucks yesterday and after failing to get credits for these I started on some offers. I gave up after I failed to get credits.
Unfortunately sites like Swagbucks don't go on forever and ever. I used to do lots of cashback sites which were the flavour of the month a few years back. I was making a nice little income until everyone jumped on the bandwagon.
I hope the good survey sites will continue and that Swagbucks will continue for a while but I'm not holding my breath.

I registered with them ages ago, but haven't actually used the site yet, how long does it take to reach the £40 goal? and do you get regular surveys?

thanks ~ J

also it seems Swagbucks want you make the points via other methods for the time being.

I've been a member for 2 weeks and have earnt £10 amazon vouchers.. so it's quite good.. and in terms of the conversation about surveys not credited i've had a few of them too, along with offers.. I decided to send pl a message but their reply didn't seem like they would be able to do anything about it.. so don't think i'm going to bother trying to raise a ticket again lol - I have managed to hit target every day though.. so thankfully it's not affected that much but they should still not make us go through so many surveys and dq right at the end (very last page for me lol) or give no credits at all

^^ I just searched 'swagbucks not credited' and won 21swagbucks :rotfl::rotfl:
That's the most i've ever won!.. so if the survey doesn't credit, maybe do a search about it

It takes a while to build up to £40 with Onepoll. Some weeks I make £2 to £3 and other weeks I don't make much at all. They don't send out surveys. You need to visit the site two or three times a day and take any surveys available. They generally ask a screening question and screen you out straight away if they don't need you for the survey. Surveys are short and worth 10p to 25p. I've been paid a couple of times by them. I've earned 30p this morning and will probably earn a bit more with them today.

They should work with their partners more effectively to ensure that if we're completing the surveys/offers, then at least we should be getting paid; it is tremendously disheartening completing a long slow loading survey or pages and pages of an offer, only to get to end and get hee-haw; maybe they don't understand, because they don't actually sit and complete the offers themselves?

It's not often you see the 1k sb claimed, I wonder how much sb is lost through to not claiming.

I'm back! I cashed out £25 in July, and £5 in August already, nearly at another cashout, woohoo! £25 a month for not a lot of work is really good, it's my final year at uni and oh's birthday next month so I can afford things a bit more easily now.
