    Thank you all (and sorry for staying hidden). I did give my number, but I never got the text message so just assumed that it was because it wasn't a smart phone. I'll try again...

    I'll try and contribute to the thread, but I'll be with the majority that is becoming increasingly infuriated with the lack of surveys/videos etc...

    Thanks again!

    Lucy

    Don't give up, try it for a while longer, i got a good six months out of it.

    I'm hoping it picks up again, but if not, time to move on.

    I just think it has to be taken with a pinch of salt. However - I have been very lucky, I have never had a DS or TS not credit.. I just ignore the surveys offered on the walls most of the time, unless I hear good things on here. I'm doing pretty well (around 1500 SBs a week) for about 1 hour per day. Avoiding the Special offers seems to save me a lot of stress, & I absolutely cannot be @r§!D with SBTV!! :)

    Haha, yeah, I talk a lot, sorry about that.

    I'm not condemning or praising Swagbucks, but certainly I've had my eyes opened with my own experiences and reading about the experiences of others.

    I love how you talk a lot :D Don't stop!

    Too many lurkers, not enough moaners lol :rotfl:

    I agree about SBTV, for real :cool:

    Got DQ from 3 DS and was going to sack it for the day but a few hours later got a survey on click and collect at asda.

    Looks like referral searches no longer count towards daily goal, that or it's broken.

    I have also had a referral search credit to my ledger but not against my daily target. :mad:

    Yeah, it's useful for a little extra spending money, but you have to be aware. If 1 hour a day for a month gets you £25, you are working for £0.83 an hour. Make sure you know the input vs the rewards. Swagbucks shouldn't be a replacement for a more consistent wage, but I know for some of us we don't really have a choice, and we need/want the vouchers or money enough we will put up with almost anything.

    I agree. Swagbucks can be really fun sometimes, I like the games feature, and the weird !!!! on SBTV sometimes (see my post about the man urinating beer) but it's the fun and loathing of this thread that gets me through

    I have to say though.. I'm a student & also work 30hours/wk in a bar (when I've not been recently operated on.. current 'occupation' is watching cartoons & drinking tea!) I may earn about 10 EUR more per hour at the bar.. But no drunk men try to kiss me when I'm swagging on the couch in my PJs! :rotfl:

    Gotta love being able to earn a little extra during advert breaks :)

    I must reiterate that this thread certainly makes everything a lot easier & funnier!
