    Oh fgs, finally got a DS after days of nothing. Did the whole thing on clothes shopping and my impressions of stores, got to some demographics right at the end and dq'd when I said I had children. There is just no excuse for this kind of thing!

    This happened to me too its just soul destroying isnt it.

    I am spending far too much time (hours after hours) click clicking away for nothing my hubby and I have even rowed about it and he "banned" me from it :D saying it was taking over my life at the detriment of everything else! It sounds extreme and whilst I joke about it he does have a point. I even sneak on to get in a couple of sbtvs when he's nipped out with the dogs or before he's up in the morning :( not good swagbucks ur sending me crazy!!!!

    Skincare survey didn't credit for me either, I knew 250sb was too good to be true!

    I took screenshots of the last page of the survey AND of the Swagbucks page saying "Thank you, you will be credited in 4-6 weeks" so they can't really refute the fact that I've completed it, even if they say they can't find it.

    I'm totally sick of being given the brush-off, even after submitting screenshots, so if they try it with this one I will not let it go. How would they like to be to told that they weren't going to be paid for the last hour's work they did, because there was a computer error? Doesn't seem right at all! I'll submit the ticket tomorrow (I saved the screenshots on my work computer) and let you know how I get on :)

    Still only on 31sb for today :(

    To be fair to swagbucks you would have to wait the time to see if you do get credited, it's frustrating i know, i used to cry when i did a long survey with no creds.

    In my experience on here i have eventually got credited even after the 8 weeks and also never.

    Swagbucks don't host the surveys other companies do so 9 times out of ten they can't help.

    Still put in a report because if we are being ripped off/messed around then swagbucks should know about it, they don't get paid either so should be motivated to query it.
  • TrialPay, download and install the booking.com app for the iPhone; didn't credit.
  • Sponsorpay, sign up to the Hotels.com newsletter and confirm your email; confirmation email hasn't arrived (I signed up yesterday so have given plenty of time) and so haven't been credited.
  • Sponsorpay, Hot Drops; credited the 13sb instantly, I didn't even have to complete the last part, just allow the Facebook app :)

    I understand, but Swagbucks are the ones who are offering to pay, so they should honour that. I will raise the ticket anyway, even if just to add to the swathes and bring to their attention that there is a definite problem with this survey :)
  • Sometrics, Vinn en Resa (win a trip to Rome), 16sb credited instantly, the steps take about two minutes :)

    I can relate to this, it can become an obsession. I have barely read a book since joining swagbucks. On the other hand I have bought lots of books using my Amazon Gift cards!:rotfl:
