Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

I couldn't activate by clicking on the activation code. I just C&Ped it into my search box,so hopefully at some point (I'm on 270 pts & no idea how )it credits for me. But the way things are going for me I doubt it.Still not near my target today.None of the offers (ug boots/hotels etc) are available to me. Big surprise there.

milo, someone else said that they requested another activation code and it then credited but I'm not sure how you do that

Wow - just got a Daily Survey and............sorry our quotas have been filled. Getting slightly annoyed now

Was it Molton brown survey or something? I had that message too. No surveys today but still managed 250 thanks to the Gripola game. Think i might go and swear at the sb search and see if i get anything. Trying to add contacts to my new Samsung Galaxy Ace and its going dismally:(

Yes I read that paul,but I couldn't see where I could request one either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get it,but not very hopeful really.
Do you know what ? even I am tired listening to myself moaning about getting nothing. I really am,so you all must cringe when you see my name come up.But this is a full month now & I truly am fed up with it & getting no help from SWAGBUCKS.

no surveys here again. swagbucks need to be honest about what is going on. there are mainly complaints on the facebook wall and most are being ignored.

I've just found this on the blog. I'm not sure if this has got anything to do with the lack of surveys (I was thinking that maybe they are concentrating on rolling this out in the States and forgetting about us) but it's interesting that around the time that this blog was posted, we started to get fewer and fewer surveys

http://blog.swagbucks.com/2012/12/introducing-survey-profiles.html

This is just my theory, and I may be wrong and doing Swagbucks a disservice, but as far as I'm aware, Swagbucks are only the 'middle man' in the survey process. It seems to me that they allow the companies to offer surveys to Swagbucks members (a captive audience, if you will) for a fee. We as members complete a survey and it is then uploaded to the company who say 'yes we got this - it's OK to credit member such and such with swagbucks'. This way, Swagbucks make a profit by giving us less than the survey companies pay them. If the companies don't issue the surveys in the first place, then surely, even though Swagbucks are not directly responsible, they should be going back to the companies and saying that their members are complaining. Having said that, it's a win-win situation for Swagbucks. They still get paid by the survey companies, they don't have to give us as much in earnings and it forces us to watch SBTV which brings in additional advertising revenue to Swagbucks. As I say, I am only guessing here and others may have better theories/info

Yes it was Molten Brown, Cath. I've even tried swearing at the search and it still didn't give me anything

Just tried searching 'Look, give me some bloody surveys will you - I'm really getting p'd off now'. Didn't get any SBs but search results show
