Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

tyroleandancer

Something weird just happened
A DS test I think:eek:
4/5 questions
then a test asking me to select second statement down to prove I was reading not skimming and hey presto 70SB. It took less than a minute??
Odd

Mags, most surveys are around 20 minutes. The longest one I ever had lasted over an hour and in all honesty I was brain dead by the end of it.

I question the wisdom of these survey companies that have such looong surveys. Surely by the end most people are just clicking anything to get the bl**dy thing finished with?!

:T Well Done, that's really impressive. I know I'm just learning how to do Swagbucks so I won't give up. Hopefully once I know what I'm doing I'll get to like it.

How much time are ye spending on it? It's hours not minutes isn't it??

It varies - certainly not minutes, but sometimes I get my target in about an hour (occasionally less) - other times it seems like I'm sat here for hours. My main aim each day is to at least get the daily goal that Swagbucks set, then it all depends on how much time I have, what other things I need to do, family etc. But I'd rather be earning on here than sat glued in front of the TV all evening

Just had a daily survey about car purchase - took about 15 minutes. Had a panic because the progress bar was nowhere near 100% and it asked me to choose the second answer to a series of responses to make sure I was paying attention. Clicked the second answer and the screen when blank for a while, but then it credited. I'm sure there should have been more questions

Started that one too, but it dq'd me at the choose from the 2 questions stage

I agree, but the problem is that often there is a trick' question and if you click the wrong answer then you get booted out of it. Personally I think that 30 minutes is quite long enough for a survey - if they can't get the information they need in that time, then I think the person writing the surveys isn't doing a good job. If it gives me the opportunity, I always comment at the end of a survey as to what I think about it

I welcome nick to the forum. But in truth he works for the company and it's a Mandy Rice Davis situation,as in "well he would say that...".
It is much MUCH more than a lack of surveys. Problems just get brushed aside and while 99% of the replies to queries are polite, actually resolving a problem seems scarcer than hen's teeth.
By the way Nick,not cool of SB sending those "have you taken your DS ?" messages to inboxes. First,I doubt ANYONE forgets to go for what was once the basis of your swagging day & a banker for many of us. Second,for those of us not being offered them it is rubbing salt in the wound. I got one today & nearly fainted from shock (I get about one per week) but for some reason my saying that the year we are in is "2013" caused my disqualification. Now THAT is a pretty dumb reason/flimsy excuse to disqualify or am I being the fick one here?
So all in all I'm purty dang unimpressed at present.
Getting almost nil surveys,and those offered are not really offered since they tell me they are "over quota" or "no longer available". So it feels like a sop,so SB can say "well we did offer...."
Not getting the vids others on here point out,
Not having the offers others on here point out,
Offers done & not credited but tough luck cos I didn't screen grab.
Having to put a capcha after every single x10 lot of TV/vids when others say they just get the SBs automatically.
Not getting those BIG searches(& quads etc) SBs bangs on about.
Oh & how COULD I forget......being told I was "flagged" for possible misuse of SBTV !!!! WTH was that about ? I am barely computer literate so any skull-duggery of any kind is beyond my limited capabilities I can assure you.

So while I welcome Nick I can't see that his presence makes a difference to things other than making some posters wary of what they can now say & wonder just how much SB track negative comments on these forums. Unfortunately for me (I suppose) I have a bit of a gob on me.But prefer to think of it as being upfront.:)
Call me cynical. In fact call me whatever you like because I've had worse things than names thrown at me(literally) I can assure you.... but give me a level playing field & play the game fair .Not much to ask really .
