    There is always sniping and !!!!!ing going on. So what if someone else is getting more points than you, so what if people take more than one survey (that's their look out). When everyone was 'bragging' about getting 50 points every day by running SBTV on their android phones I didn't get mad and bitter about it. Sometimes I wished I had an android to get the easy points but I hadn't so hard lines to me. Why can't people just be happy for others and worry less about what they are getting and be happy with the 'free' money they are getting themselves??

    Can't comment on people having their accounts closed for it, can only comment on things that I have seen directly. Have only been on the site for a couple of weeks and when I had a look through the FAQs on the site it says you can do as many as you want but I wanted to double check the rules so emailed and that was the reply I got so I just wanted to share that with others on here.

    I haven't had anything land in my trusted surveys for days now to even try to complete so have been having to do more daily surveys to compensate for it otherwise I wouldn't be getting anywhere near the daily goals.

    I joined in early June and my Trusted Surveys has never worked, despite putting numerous tickets in about it.

    I just suck it up and make the best of the other available options to meet my daily targets - mostly helped by the very kind people on here.

    It's hard work some days, but still do able.

    Whats a ThinkAction survey?

    As I said earlier, before I started I emailed them and that was my reply. In black and white from someone who works at swagbucks. If it wasn't for taking a couple a day then I wouldn't have hit the targets I already had.

    As far as I know, no-one on here works for them, if anyone does I'm happy to stop if someone says it is against the rules but I asked them a pretty direct question and got a pretty clear cut answer from them so will believe what the email says.

    I'm happy for everyone who does well Alica, even if I'm having a mega crappy day myself.

    When I'm reading post after post of folk saying that they haven't managed to complete a daily survey in days followed by someone else posting that they've completed and been credited for three or four a day it isn't right though, they've used up the surveys so others end up missing out time after time. It just seems a bit wrong is all.

    A ThinkAction survey is your Daily Survey

    Information can be found by clicking the grey I in the box next to the number 70

    I think most of the surveys are demographic and specific to be honest. Most days I manage to complete one but my partner struggles and only manages about 3 per week.
    As AshyMark has stated, they have had a reply from SB and it is quite specific regarding daily surveys so why would they only do one when they have been told they can do several? I wonder if 'thinkaction' is actually a survey company and it is only one of theirs you can take but can take several if they are for example Toluna, GFK, Brainjuicer etc?! I really don't think SB have made this point very clear because they are called 'daily surveys' NOT 'thinkaction surveys' I am not being pedantic, I just think people on the forums are too quick to judge sometimes without actually knowing the facts.
    Let's hope the poster is correct and we can fill our boots with dailies because it would certainly boost my income :rotfl:

    ThinkAction is the name of the affiliate company who run the Daily Surveys

    Surveys companies send their survey links to Think Action who in turn put the links out on websites such as Swagbucks ... hence you might get a GFk survey, 2 from Toluna and a Brainjuicer in the same session

    (this is explained as simply as I can)
