    I just did 3 on Swagbucks and wasn't accepted for any of them either. I spent about 15 minutes filling in more details, it then sent me to qualifying surveys which I started but then they said the quota was full.
    Is this normal I wonder. :(
    Oh Gosh I'm wising up to saving the pennies :j
  • Last two posters, it's fairly normal. Most people I would imagine, have a similar screen out/defer rate. My advice is to stick with the process, go a bit autopilot on the usual beginning questions like age, location, work status etc. You'll become faster on these and normally not waste more than a few minutes in the near future. Sometimes you get no surveys complete for a couple of days, others you get several done in a day.

    I'm signed up to several sites and get between 10 to 20 emails for surveys most days. I probably make about 1/7 surveys because I'm unemployed and don't do much. Hence I don't qualify much.

    Multitasking is good too. I do swagbucks clicks for videos in the background and some other stuff whilst I'm going through my surveys or click sites.

    It happens to me all the time, more annoyingly it isn't after just putting through the basic demographic details but 15 minutes after telling them what I buy, then what I eat, before being shown a new product range and asked a few questions then I get disqualified. Sometimes I think they're just looking for people that will say they like something which makes me question the point of them sometimes. It does make me sceptical about what they do with the results.

    has anyone been paid/
    :footie:
  • Yes several times, once you have cashed out you are elevated to Gold Status and they pay you within a week as opposed to a month.

    A pain at having to earn the £20, but if you search every day, confirm the emails, watch the vids, any offers you can manage, also complete the Peanut Lab surveys they pay in £'s and p's and are worth far more on IP than anywhere else!

    Post your referral link wherever you can, I am currently on 13 referrals - the majority of which have been given to me by Inbox Pounds - these are from people who have signed up without a referral - yes they are that generous.

    Keep plugging away as it is well worth it.:D
