You can't use Puffin browser or anything similar to that unless you are very technically minded and know how to alter it for UK use.
These types of browser use a proxy server, the Puffin one is in the US and so disguises your location and comes up as 'USA'.
Proxy server browsers are not allowed to be used on most of this type of site and they will result in your accounts being banned eventually.
Some of the sites even say that banned accounts will take measures to recover payments that have been made already. So they really aren't worth taking the chance with.
You need to use a normal browser however this might mean you can't watch some of the videos or access some of the content due to the lack of flash.
This is unfortunate for us Swagbuck users because there is no Swagbuck App as yet.0 -

Ahhh I see. No, I didn't know it was happening either.
I don't know why they don't give out information on the Swagbucks homepage.0 -

There is only 1 site which covers users from USA, uk, + other countries, if you search GBP in the rewards store you should get the £ Amazon & PayPal vouchers come up but do check your account settings to make sure it has your address as England.- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Encrave hasn't credited for me all day.
I was doing the healthy living tickbox survey on PL and my browser crashed, got kicked out of surveys for not living in Newcastle anymore, not having any children and for thinking my credit score would be good. BUT I got a 101 SB survey on PL on hotels. It was tedious though!Challenge: Make £2024 in 2024

I had the same problem. Contact swagbucks' customer service and they will change your account to the correct country. They did for me.0
