I'm waiting for £30 of AGV's dating back to 14th. They have never taken so long before.

I don't think there is anything to worry about. I think the delay is because of Passover. There was a blog post about it:-

http://blog.uk.swagbucks.com/2013/03/as-we-observe-the-holiday.html

I know that one of the founders of Swagbucks is a Rabbi, so I would imagine that Passover is a very important holiday for a lot at Swagbucks. The blog does say that there will be no 'express shipping' until 3rd April, so I expect that all gift cards will be delayed too. It also says that there may be a delay in customer support too.

I found this link that tells you a bit more about Passover if anyone is interested -

http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/judaism/holydays/passover_1.shtml

Apparently outside of Israel the first two and last two days of the eight day Passover are considered complete days of rest, so I expect Swagbucks would be short-staffed at that time.

I like doing the alcohol bottle label task (sad I know), but am frustrated that they just don't credit after successful submission. I maybe get one out of four or five that credit. Does anyone else have this problem, is it the browser, I use IE, or something else. I can rattle through them quite quickly so would love to be able to up by SB.
I have contacted support and been credited for a few but it is such a hassle to have to do that each time and they must be getting fed up with me!

The same, been waiting for £30 worth since the 13th. I'm not worried though.

I have done a few of those on Neobux, and I only had a problem once with it not crediting. That was when the timer had run down to zero before I submitted. Still let me submit the task, but didn't credit.

BTW, you should think about doing tasks on Neobux, as they pay a lot more. The alcohol label task pays 8.8 cents on Neobux vs 3 SB on Swagbucks (1.8p or about 2.7 cents). So Neobux payment is three times as much.

I am slightly addicted to those 6sb tasks, they usually take seconds and have achieved my target that way.
Games still not working for me - has anyone else had problems with the games today?

Some of you mentioned the survey where you have to take photos and upload them. Anyone actually done it? I chose the option that I would take the photos and upload them later - they want pics of my vaccum cleaner!! Anyway.. They said they would send me a link which could be used for up to 48 hours. I am assuming it will be sent to my email address but I have not had it yet. I even checked my spam folder...
Has anyone had one of these links and if so when/where did it appear?

I thought I would give this one a whirl since it was for a silly amount of bucks I will be disappointed if I do not get a link now.

Incidentally I found three mails from valued opinions in my spam so i guess that is why I wasnt getting any survey from them! GRR.

Not today but the games wouldn't work for me at all yesterday.

and he's pro Ann Rand :eek:

Ayn Rand isn't so bad... though rational selfishness has been warped and used as justification for conservative, libertarian and anti-Communist propaganda and violence, in The Fountainhead in particular a tenant of her ethos was not blindly accepting tradition handed down (e.g. religion) which seems to go against what most American conservatives believe - that God wants them in power so gave them the money, and didn't want the little people to have it so made healthcare expensive ect. I doubt he appreciates her ideology as anything more than a name-drop and a justification for greed, though. Plus he looks like a testicle.

£5 from the 16th. Annoying waiting for it. I could earn more money quicker picking pennies up from the street.

at 27/60 so far with no surveys in sight, hoping there will be something later on

Edit: I'm also waiting for a AGV ordered on the 15th, hopefully they will come through on Wednesday, I will probably wait till Friday to put a ticket in
