Has anyone heard anything about the 300sb trusted survey with the mobile app download yet? Still waiting for credit on that but I won't be surprised if we never see it.

Nothing yet

Page 4 of this topic ..
Survey #: 178849
Survey Length: 2 Minutes
Reward Amount: 300 Swag Bucks
Smartphone users to download arbitron mobile trends app to phone

By my reckoning, day 7 is today so fingers crossed we should get those bucks soon

Edit - oops, just re.read what support sent "If you completed the survey, you will receive credit after 4 weeks. You are supposed to keep the app on your phone for 7+ days. If you need anything else, please let us know."

Survey took 24 august 2012
can remove app from phone anytime after 1st september
So that makes it credit by 21 september

Hi guys

Glad it's a nice low target for today, i wont be able to get on much today!

I've just tried to order a amazon £25 card but it's not letting me? Is it because i've already cashed out 5x5gpb amazon already this month? Once you've ordered upto 5x of any value from one store are you not allowed to order from the same store again that month but for a different value?

Hope thats clear?!

You can order 5 of one denomination gift card in a month, then 5 of any other gift cards etc. So you can order 5 x £5 amazon cards and 5 x £25 amazon cards in any one month - unless they have changed the rules. When you say it won't allow you, what reason does it give?

I ordered a sim from O2 as recommended by another poster here, pocketed the Swagbucks and use the number printed on that for any mobile offers. It's a valid number and belongs to me so I don't see the problem (other than they'll probably never get me on it.)

In fact it's one of the four things I'd recommend:

- Get a brand new e-mail address for offers only
- Get a free sim and use that number not your day-to-day mobile
- Use a different browser for Swagbucks (eg: I use Firefox with various security add-ons for my normal browsing) and Chrome with no add-ons for Swagbucks searches, offers and the toolbar
- Don't install ANYTHING on your machine that you're not comfortable with. A lot of these games, music and video players etc are bundled with all sorts of nasty malware often strictly against the wishes of the original owners (the superb video playing software VLC is a very good example of this.)

Do people seriously do the mobile offers?

I am considering it, but everything I've seen points to a subscription at a cost of £3-£5 a week or something. It seems difficult to avoid these costs if you only want to get the SB.

It's saying that it can't process my request???

I will try it again later and let you know if i have any luck.

Thanks for your replies.

o2 Free sim on Trial pay for 45SB - is this one OK to apply for, definately free? Would i have to periodically put it in my phone to keep it valid? Offer would help me reach today's target (slow day and no surveys) but don't want to do it if its troublesome.

On another note, some of the survey's I've tried to view on Payment wall give me a 'whoa, are you sure you want to go there?' security warning, anyone else get this?

third note. Has anyone got some older daily survey's come up and do they try them or do they wait for new day's survey? Thanks.

I did one when I first joined swagbucks - something like 'find out what consumer you are'. It took forever and I clicked on a few offers that were obviously free (such as get a brochure from Visit Scotland), but you have to be very careful not to sign up to any subscription service. It did credit (something like 30 sb) but I got hundreds of spam emails. Fortunately I have a spam email address. It does go to show what kind of companies we are dealing with on these walls for them to allow and encourage offers like that, and also for them to encourage the download of applications and games wrapped in adware and malware. Fortunately, we have this thread to warn people, but there must be thousands of others who are vulnerable to all of this

This one is fine.I did this about 6 weeks ago, credited quickly,card came & is still in wrapping as haven't needed it.I am not sure but think the number may become invalid if not used for 6 months.mine says must activate by May 2013

Gah furious with SB already today, was in the middle of a 100 sb trusted survey after already being told I had qualified near the beginning, was waiting for a video to load and the trusted surveys end page suddenly flashed up and said I hadn't qualified! I feel too annoyed to carry on swagging for anything else today.

Has anyone heard anything about the 300sb trusted survey with the mobile app download yet? Still waiting for credit on that but I won't be surprised if we never see it.

Happened to me too. Not impressed seems to be CBA day in the land of the programmers. :mad:
