    Just as a matter of interest, how long does everybody spend on Swagbucks?
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Can someone answer a couple of questions for me please?

    1) How does the Swagbucks tv work i.e. how do you get points for it? I have watched it (well left it running while I do other things) but have never got any points.

    2) Do people bother with the tasks? I have tried them about 5 times and only once got points. The other times I have been kicked off for not being accurate enough (once I missed a full-stop and got kicked off for inaccuracy!) I have done the $700 Casino task and not got points for it. This evening I was halfway through a task that requires following links and got halfway through and one of the links wouldn't work. I feel like banging my head against a brick wall. :mad:

    I am on the computer a lot doing other things so I check in for new videos and new surveys quite often, but rarely am on it itself. So I really don't know.

    1. With Swagbucks TV I find you have to actually be clicking in the videos (ie to click onto the advertisers page but, shhh, I have pop ups blocked) for it to credit. I don't get credited if I just leave it running there.
    2. Some of them, if I am doing something passive elsewhere I will sit and do the categorise tasks. Eg put items for sales in categories, or people on twitter in categories. The others always end up not working for me. But tbh I don't think these are worth the time they take, most often.

    swagbucks tv = watch 10 videos and get 3 swagbucks
    no need to click through to advertisers at all
    download toolbar and watch sbtv on there, much easier
    you can click next video when you notice the % meter move up 10%

    Many of the surveys don't work on my iPad, nor do the games or the videos. Can get very frustrating
  • I'm trying to do the task where you compare two blog posts, but every time I click on it, the page starts to load up and then it jumps to this page. Anyone else having this problem?
