The Swagbucks Challenge - Part 2

CathWales

The Gillette one seemed like I had done it before and it credited again for me, I remember before that we all had it for different amounts on the same day. Wish I hadn't been so annoyed earlier to click off the ticket on my home page to see if clicking it then would give me the 29sb it said, but its only 2sb difference.

The problem I've had with surveys today is not the lack of them, as in previous days. but how a lot of them are letting me get far in the survey and then dq'ing me for various and stupid reasons. Think it might be a few days before I get near my next £50, almost wish I'd left the other £50 in as I'd have my £100 now, but with the news of the other sites closing down I thought I'd not take any chances. Getting very despondent with all this stuff tho.

I think Swagbucks is safe - it's very well established and has thousands of members. Happi did some research the other day and it would appear that Swagbucks is quite helathy. Having said that, the most I have every saved for is £25. I've been getting a bit downhearted with it all the past few days, but I'm sure that it will pick up again. I think that some of the surveys have 'test' questions to make sure that you are paying attention. I can remember that I was doing a NewVista survey a few months ago for something like £2.50 or £3. It was a long one and one of the first and final questions always used to be 'how many vehicles are there in your household'. Something distracted me and I clciked on the wrong number on the final screen and I was immediately DQd. I complained, but it did no good. It did make me more careful in future, though

Hmmm...I am now convinced about the casino tasks.

Tonight I put 08001234567 for the phone numbers (wrong) and it was accepted. On two of them for "name the featured game" I just typed BIG BANANA and it was accepted. As long as you click on the link, you can answer anything it seems. I feel robbed for all the nights I spent looking for info, cutting, pasting etc LOL

I have been answering "no" to the 2 new questions (thus not needing to put in any additional information) and at the moment they seem quite happy to accept that and credit me for them!

I usually do the tasks at midnight, but fell asleep earlier. There are a load listed as available, and I go through the usual with them, but when I put the tick in the final box it highlights it red and says I haven't completed the task. Any idea's? I cleared my cache earlier but can't imagine that being it.

One task does that with me - #16 I think it is. Have you tried another browser? I used to have problems with firefox and I do tasks now on IE and don't have too many problems. Have you checked to see if the casino site is loaded fully - if it hangs then I think you get that message. Also Norton throws out a warning about a couple of the sites. I have to click on 'open anyway', then click on the back arrow and open the site again, otherwise the task thinks that you have loaded the site through a different link to the one they give you

I usually use chrome, so tried with firefox - they worked but I noticed the search results were ordered differently between chrome and ff, weird.

I get different search orders using the same browser but on different computers. The payday loan one used to be page 1 number 1 on the desktop computer, but it was on page 23 on the laptop. Also the search terms are often different in different browsers - i can't get my head round that one at all

I said no as I didn't want to go on it and got 'this transaction has already been recorded' and awarded 2 bucks:mad: Ledger says 'over quota' Also before the webcam question it asked my post code and would only accept a US one:mad: Waste of time.
