March 2013 Swagbucks Thread

spiritwood

no surveys and also getting stupid task message. i am wondering if they are limiting the casino tasks like they now do the fisher ones? if so then i think i will leave totally. the tasks are the only reliable way of earning on this site.

@spiritwood Maybe you should just see these sites as a way of earning a little extra and not worry too much about target? With me deciding to take a temporary break from swagging I still managed to earn a few SBs through searching - I seemed to earn more from searching during my break than when I was trying to hit the target each day (I also got bigger search wins - don't know if that was a coincidence or not). I think it's because of instead of looking for ways to earn all the time I was doing what I normally do on my computer - generally browsing and searching. OK it didn't get me a load of SBs but I got something for nothing. Opposed to having to work for the SBs all the time.

Think i'm going to start working though the offers pages and see how i get on (mostly the free ones anyway). I am happy to post my results as always, but if anyone else would be willing to help me work through the offers and post about them as well do let me know I'm trying to figure out a way we can make most effective use of this thread.

So, i'm starting on trialpay frees,

Booking.com i can't do cos i have an android phone so if anyone else would like to try that and report back that would be great

Ampario Long - i try this regularly and keep getting the makeup survey which i get DQ for

Hotels.com - going to try this now and will let you all know how it goes ooops its an iphone one again......

will also try the vodaphone sim offer now - done and credited already 45SB

now trying SSI survey! - none for me today

Now Samplicious - none for me today

Hotels.com ipad - can't try

ampario 45sb - trying now - ahhhhh its the make up one again DQ lol

If you are happy to help me go through the offers and post results just let me know which you are trying and come back and post your results so i don't try them as well. Or if lots of people happy to help i can post a any volunteers for this type post

Hopefully this will help all of us boost our points but esp those struggling to make the daily targets!

hi leo, that is pretty much what i am doing now. it is demoralising to find nothing to do or offers not crediting when there are other sites that do not have this issue. i was hoping swagbucks would pick up but it doesn't seem to be really. cheers

You have to click the link on the get verified button in swagbucks not in paypal - i had that too

Swagbucks is saying they can't verify my paypal as my paypal account hasnt been verified. So looks like NOTHING can be verified by me lol about to bash head against wall as I need that £10 so badly...

I have in the past downloaded the odd piece of software from the offers walls - I have come across a couple of problems, possibly been mentioned before.

1. Some of them will not register that they have been installed unless I stop my anti-virus - now this would not be a problem if the software that I was downloading could be trusted but it can't because...
2. Some of the software is malware

If you are going to install any software remember to delete it after it has credited along with all the other "stuff" like toolbars that you have to install. And if you haven't already, install and run anti-virus/spyware software on your PC.

I run Spybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes and Avast Anti-Virus. I run two anti-malware/spyware programs because I find that although Malwarebytes is quick to run it doesn't pick up everything.

Is your email address used for sb the same as your main one on paypal? if you have more than one email address it has to be marked as the default address (can't think of the word they use on paypal)

The name on your SB account also has to match your paypal one.

Yep everythings the same. I log into paypal and click 'get verified' and it looks like i completed the steps years ago when i set paypal up years ago yet remain unverified. Trying to get help from paypal but not successful so far...

Hi spiritwood,

Don't really do other sites apart from surveys ones so I've got nothing to compare to. Maybe I should join some then I can get as peeved at Swagbucks as everyone else seems to:D

You might want to try posting on the eBay section as they are pretty good with Paypal stuff over there.

If you have all the green ticks on Paypal then I would suggesting contacting Swagbucks as it looks like it's their end.
