    Swagbucks have re-introduced the hourly winner. Here are the details:-

    http://blog.uk.swagbucks.com/2013/05/welcome-back-the-hourly-random-winner.html

    Now, though, instead of it being on the home page, it's on the blog page - I guess that makes it even harder for people to spot that they're the hourly winner

    It looks like the US are having the large daily goals now - they're complaining about it on the US Facebook page

    ive just done a survey on pl on celebrity's for 48sb, it took me nearly 30 mins to complete, sb's is becoming worst and worst, no way was 48sb worth that survey, i know that if i would have done this survey on valued options it would have been worth at least a £1, so i have just wasted half a hour of my life for about 25p?
    There needs to be some changes nick otherwise people are going to start going else where, im certainly thinking about giving it in, its more trouble than what its worth

    The "new" SBTV is pants, at least for us here in the UK (no surprise there).

    In February, I did a list of the different SBTV channels for anyone that was bored watching "how to chop an onion" or "how to make a radish rose". I spent quite a lot of time getting links to different channels that Swagbucks had available for us to watch, but didn't have obvious links to.

    Well, guess what? NONE of those channels are available to us anymore. Clicking any of the links defaults back to http://globalvideo.swagbucks.com/

    While they seem to put a great effort into making Swagbucks "great" for Americans, they don't seem particularly fussed about making the site "great" for anyone living outside the 50 states.

    To illustrate, here's what the Americans get:

  • Hi All,

    I've been Swagbucking since about Feb and just noticed the thread. Very informative and I hope to pick up a few tips along the way as well as share them.

    Sometimes it could be due to demographics. A survey company will only need a certain number of responses from people with the same demographics, so if that number is reached while someone else with those demographics is half way through the survey then they will get DQd. Also, a lot of surveys do have trick questions and if you get the question wrong then they DQ you eg. they could ask at the beginning 'have you bought crisps in the last month' and I answer 'yes'. To check my accuracy they then may ask half way through 'when was the last time you bought crisps'. If I say 6 months ago, then clearly the answers don't match so I would be DQd because of lack of attention or inaccuracy

    I noticed that too - everything really is going down hill and it seems to be gathering pace
