Can I ask a non-swagbucks-specific question, please? Those of you who use other survey sites, or similar, do you have some kind of system in place to keep on top of it all? I've joined Ipsos and Inbox pounds, but find I'm largely ignoring them because when I do something I forget what I've done and therefore if I've been credited or not, etc. etc. etc. Now, I am pregnant, so it might just be pregnancy brain that makes me feel a bit confused, but I was wondering if other people had a way of keeping track of all their activity...?

I seem to spend as much time chasing up non-crediting offers/surveys on swagbucks as I do actually doing anything productive on there...I guess I'm not getting too involved in the other sites for fear of ending up doing the same thing.

i use inbox pounds,zoombucks and clixsense and neobux (just started). i am also on slice the pie.
i make sure that i am on no more than 2 sites that are similar but tbh i find nearly all of the other sites credit in comparison to sb for some reason. i have just started instagc.com because they have tons more vids and surveys than sb. i do not need to log the other sites, only swagbucks :-/

Sorry, no advice. But I'd be using an awful lot of very naughty words if I were you and there was 500sb at stake!

I have raised a ticket with a screenshot and very detailed summary.

I do not hold out much hope, but you never know.

I was a third of the way through, as well, so was in no danger of getting DQ'd.

Anglo-Saxon vocabulary has been thoroughly exercised. :mad:

500 bleeding bucks!!!!!:mad:

Thanks Spirit. Interesting last sentence...makes me feel better about giving the others a go.

Inferno, I feel your pain...!

I have each site on a spreadsheet so I know when and what rewards I'm getting and when I ordered it. Each site is set to add up how much it earns for me so I can see exactly what works for me and which sites don't and every time I add a Paypal, Amazon, Boots etc. it automatically updates the total by site and in total.

I don't spreadsheet individual surveys, but I don't do many that don't credit as I do them mostly closer to source rather than via SB and chase as soon as something goes pearshaped when it does.

Thanks:) It's really handy. I just got six payments from one site and popped it into the spreadsheet and know I have still two more to come from them so if they get lost in the system I can chase.

And its not a very complicated spreadsheet. It uses nothing more complicated than the at sum formula and a couple of add this cell to that one...
All on one worksheet and if I add a site, I just add rows and pop it into the total calculations. Nice and easy.
It didn't take long to set up but does make life much simpler.

I don't have time to keep up with every survey site plus Swagbucks and my own website, so I tend to concentrate on the ones that are near the payout and ignore the others for a while. I get the SB target every day but avoid a lot of the offers as it's too time consuming chasing them up. Once site has paid out I concentrate on another site until that pays out. If anyone has the time and inclination to spend a few hours a day on a computer every day you could make a spreadsheet so that you could tick the surveys that come in and tick them off when you've done them.
