  • Just got my £25 AGC posted, only about 100sb off another £5 AGC, I've decided to go back to getting the £5 vouchers incase they think I'm cheating or anything, don't mind the new layout so much just going to take some getting used to, although it might be easier to do some things on my tablet down as I can't access dropdown menus on it

    :THappi is back ! Welcome home haps:heartsmil

    Hate the new layout. But I suppose I'll get used to it if I'm still here long enough.
    I had put in a request asking nicely where my 2x £25 AGVs were .
    This was the response ....

    I told you all that I'd get that reply. I have done NOTHING untoward whatsoever......yet I get that.
    I replied.......
    Hi Alison. I totally understand you are wary of people using cheating methods .But three small points...
    1/ I don't cheat in any aspect of my life.

    2/ I have not got a clue HOW to cheat regarding SBTV.
    3/ How on EARTH can I be cheating when every single session of 10 vids gives me a captcha to put in ? That doesn't make sense,even to a non-savvy technophobe person like me. Even my search wins need captchas and have done since I joined last year. I dream captchas.

    So in truth I am absolutely fine being flagged because I am doing nothing whatsoever wrong. I earn my SWAGBUCKS honestly & through sheer perseverance & hard slog.

    I understand you have a job to do & these warnings are necessary,but in this case you are WAY off the mark.Have a nice day~~~Sincerely,*****.

    Just out of interest - How are you watching SBTV - do you leave it running in the background while watching other things? Watch it and wait so you can change immediately the bar goes up? Leave it a long time before entering the captcha or a variety of the above! Maybe you would give us a little feedback so we know what to avoid and someone may be able to give you some ideas to avoid these charming messages in the future!

    Hi all, had a few days off partially due to being busy and partially due to failing to qualify for surveys and getting stroppy. Just been on and had an easy 100sb TS on supermarket brands (lots of boring tick boxes and ads to watch though) and the DS searching for car brands on my smartphone which Happi was talking about - fairly quick and easy.

    I'm thinking about doing the snapfish offer on TP - getting a multi photo-frame for my hallway so would be good to get some free prints. Has anyone tried it? Is it ok?

    Thanks!

    Early-bird.
    I got 60 free prints from Snapfish (Pd p & p) via Trialpay about a month ago.Points went straight on as soon I checked out the order, so no problems then.

    I'm doing the same now...! Getting worried about losing earnings, I know its not a lot but I'd hate to get ripped off!

    Seconded - me too.

    I'm not particularly a tech-head myself but wonder how they can prove cheating when a Captcha is required for verifying the bucks.

    After milo's recent experiences it does make ya think.

    Believe it or not there are bots around that can also solve captcha's

    Have a look here : http://io9.com/5938836/will-captcha+breaking-bots-soon-make-it-impossible-to-prove-were-human


    I like the idea of the eye scan or perhaps a dna test swagbucks? :D

    The only sure fire way way not to incur the paranoia of swagbucks towers is not to watch the brain numbing SBTV methinks!

    Thanks, I got 7 sb!
    I like the new set up but one question - why does it only give a percentage for the day not how many sb you;ve earned (unless I'm missing something?)

    Glad i took a short break from SB's had a really good day, and although i missed you lot, i realised swagbucks is not that important really.

    We like a bit of extra to spend, hell yes, but if it starts to stress us out then time for a timeout?

    No survey is worth high blood pressure.

    I was posting too many :mad: :mad: :mad: instead of :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Thanks all for putting up with me :rotfl:

    If you hover your mouse/pointer over the end of the green meter it gives you your current SB total.
