Argh Swagbucks!

Options
Hi,

I've tried the Swagbucks site as it looks like a brilliant idea, however I'm having the problem that when I do something . . . around about 50% of the time I totally complete a task and it doesn't credit me the points!

For example one task was to join the Badoo site with Facebook for 45 points. I did it, but my points balance has not changed . . . neither did it change when I'd watched 7 or so videos . . . but when I reclick the task it says 'You've already done this!'.

I've tried to Google what's going wrong but am stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

  • When did you join? Normally my points credit instantly, but I'm also having issues today - just did a daily survey and this usually shows up straight away but still no sign of any points and have never had to wait before, I'm wondering if there's an issue at the moment

    There do seem to be some issues with points today, if you have only just joined.

    If not, make sure your history, cookies etc are cleared.

    If they are still nor creditting, then contact Swagbucks for more information - they are really good at getting back to you.

    Some of the special offers (such as the Badoo ones) don't credit instantly. You may have to wait a set amount of time, or do something extra to get them to credit.

  • Hi, thanks for your replies :)

    I joined just yesterday. . . .

    It's hard enough to earn enough points as it is (I was aiming for the £25 month Amazon voucher), but I seem to spend at least half of my time doing things for absolutely nothing. Like the surveys . . . :(

    Then I just tried this website search thing, put everything in correctly . . . and it told me my answers were incorrect!! I feel pretty fed up by that one, as I just clicked this website loads of times (pushing it higher into the results), to be swizzed and not paid for helping boost their business :(

    I wonder if I'm doing omething wrong, or if 50% timewasting is something to be expected when using the site . . .

    Tasks = waste of time (in my opinion)

    Badoo = which offer wall did you do this on ?
