    PLEASE PLEASE take care when doing offers everybody. I have recently done one for a casino where you had to pay a minimum of one pound to open an account and get SwagBucks and one for purchasing a Big Fish game. As I am trying to reduce my credit card balance those are the only times I have used it for months. I have had a call from BarclayCard fraud department saying they have suspended my card because of numerous attempts to use it - all gambling sites and mostly small amounts but there was one of £30.00 yesterday. I can safely say that I won't be doing any more offers except to reputable companies like Body Shop, Boots or M & S. William Hill should be OK but some of the casinos doing offers I have never heard of.

    That's awful, janeken. Thankfully Barclaycard are doing their job and have stopped it before it could get any worse. You should get refunded for all the fraudulent transactions in time. Have you let Swagbucks know about this - I'm sure they would want to know.

    Have you done the Nielsen download? I got 108 SB instantly for that one earlier.

    I'm having a good day for once, actually had a DS I didn't DQ from. But I haven't had a search win for days now.

    I couldn't remember so I tried it and it said the e-mail address was already in use:(

    Thanks for trying to help miwa - I most of those things anyway - the spammy offers often don't credit and I am banned from most tasks at the moment as my accuracy went down to 89% and they want 90% (I know they forgive you after a while and you get accepted again)
    I haven't tried Opinion Surveys yet - will try that before giving up completely for today
    I know it goes in waves so things may improve....

    That yes/no one banned me as I claimed 'no' as the answer had 2 spelling mistakes but they had it as a great answer.

    Can't wait for them to leave.

    The tasks hate me too dolphin19, I only do Casino ones or the Fisher ones when they pop up (less often these days). I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help to you, I lost 68 SB today by things not crediting. Plus I think everyone here is feeling the pinch recently. :/ Though sometimes we get a break, like those videos on the homepage that kept reappearing or a 5 minute 75 SB TS, so hopefully stuff will get better soon. If not...there's always...*gulp* GiftHulk. I'm joking, I'm not smart enough to navigate GiftHulk.
  • This is not a "quick win" but a easyish way to get some SB over a few days.

    There is a Sponsorpay offer for 46SB to Install Facebook app Galaxy Legion and play up to level 10.

    It took me a few days to get up to level 10 as I was just playing the missions which seemed to build your levels up ok but used lots of energy. The energy seemed to fill up again every few hours so it was a case of playing it till I ran out of energy and then leaving it for a bit and going back to it.

    I have now deleted it from FB.

    Did this offer in about 15-20 mins a few weeks ago. I forget the details but all I did was:

    1) Click the highest paying mission.
    2) Every time you go up a level spend your 'points' on increasing your maximum energy.
    3) Keep doing missions, every time you go up a level you refill your energy meter.
    4) Rinse and Repeat.

    25/70 - no chance of me getting the target today unless another survey miraculously appears and even more miraculously I get accepted!

    I found a couple of times earlier this week that there were no daily surveys for me during the day, but one appeared around 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening, so if you are around then you could try again

    Just a small warning. Do not be complacent & rely on that new box saying CHECK FOR SWAGCODES on the toolbar.....IT LIES !
    I have missed a few codes because of it. Keep checking in here or "elsewhere" and don't depend on that box. It says there are none available when they bleedin are :-(

    Yes, I've found that too. I disable to the toolbar after it's earned it's Swag Buck. It's too intrusive otherwise.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I've done both of these too. Had no problems with Big Fish (think I used paypal though) and I'm very glad I happened to have an expiring debit card to use for the casino one, I'll keep an eye on it though!

    Hope you get it all sorted as quickly and easily as possible, janeken x
