    Toria, it did that with me - then realised I had to allow pop-ups. If you allow popups it should then let you register through facebook (can you allow pop-ups on a mac?)

    Ok something very ODD going on. Thanks :T:T :D I had not noticed the pop up had been blocked yes once I opened that it allowed the survey then I gave it a while and just had an email to say been credited the 19sb and its on my ledger but my total has not updated.

    Wonder if there is just a delay? Thats never happened before :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I got all excited as that credited I would almost be at my cash out lol xx

    Try logging out and back in again, Toria - see if that forces it to update

    I would not advise that offer, just be careful. I signed up with them and have since been unable to get them to close my account. When I log into the page there is !!!!!! all over it and also one day I logged in and it gave me access to other peoples profiles. I reported it to them, pretty sure that was an error but horrified me.

    Most the !!!!!! not keen on lol xx

    Thanks, sounds like I had a lucky escape!

    paul - don't apologise. It gets to everyone. It's good to get your anger off your chest - and it's something all of us here can understand unfortunately. I mean we have a laugh on this thread, but everyone's had days, weeks, some even months of struggle just trying to meet the daily goal.

    Tbh new people should go into this with their eyes open - sometimes it's damn hard, and if you're not willing to do this every day, sometimes for hours, then it's doubtful you'll make the big bucks promised.

    Swagbucks go to great lengths to advertise themselves as "fun, free and easy" but that couldn't be further from the truth in my experience. They are a company and are going to look out for their own profits first, and the happiness of their users come somewhere a long way down the list of their priorities.

    Still I am very grateful for this thread and Nick on FB, otherwise I would've given up within my first week for sure. Especially you paul and other regulars (you know who you are) are an endless source of help and encouragement but you are only human after all. Well. Half-human half-horse. :D

    Thanks miwa. I think I would have given up very early on if it hadn't been for everyone on here. It's true that Swagbucks are going to maximise their profits, but as for any business, if you get a bad reputation and lose customers, then profits fall.

    You'll be pleased to know that my girds are already loined ready for the casino tasks :rotfl:

    Ta just tried but nope :mad: add that to things I need to email them about later lol. Need to ticket the apps lol. Been one long day on here hasnt it lol

    I agree with whoever was just saying its not fun but can be good extra money I not like working but I am making money I could not or vouchers in my case. Several of the other sites I do pay me in theatre tokens and I love the theatre. I just used some of my earnings and booked good night Mr Tom, 9 to 5, pricilla Queen of the desert and another one mum wanted to see that I can not remember and it was all theatre tokens from online site although my sister gave me some from her shop and scan at xmas so they were inc but its paid for some shows for me :-) that for me is the fun part! and the GHDS when they arrive after I earn these last 30 odd SB and then £6 might end up being cash but might get some more. Hoping these sb ones cash soon tbh waiting on £10 from here that is added in my total soon as they come I am ordering :-) :D:D:D
  • Failed to reach my target yesterday. Started off slow today but on 158/60 now, may come back later to try and get it up more.

    Goal is to average 100SB a day, managing so far, 571/500 :)

    how have you managed so well? Did you manage some surveys?
  • I've just got onto this... Confused.com!
    Ive just thought why i got the link for sb radio and no one else did.

    When i do swagbucks on my pad i cant access daily surveys as it doesnt recognise that i am in uk.

    Not sure how to correct this but as it thinks i am in usa maybe thats why the radio thing showed up. Not that it did me any good as it wouldnt accept captcha.
    Shame.

    I wonder if this is why I can't do surveys on iPad? It's saying I need to log in then dashboard not available- any one else?
