    I did a Super Sonic one yesterday morning which still hasn't credited - I've sent them a message but have had no response so far. :(

    CCP and leafittome, I'm new to MSE and swagbucks, how do you find good surveys to take? and are they trustworthy? I always feel uneasy typing in my personal details

    The ones on Swagbucks itself (daily surveys and ones from your dashboard) should be pretty safe, as they run through Swagbucks and they have all your details anyway from when you signed up. I think Peanut Lab (PL) ones are OK, too.

    Some of the other sites can be a bit dodgy - something I've filled in at some point has resulted in a bit of an inundation of spam in my inbox at present, although that could be from comping rather than surveys; I tend to avoid anything that asks me to register, rather than just completing a survey, just in case.

    HTH!

    HTH!

    I would second that. :)

    I would also add, don't do anything that you are not completely happy with. IF you think the survey questions are too invasive or in-depth, then just cancel out and try another one.

    If you look over on the last page at my post #12102 you will see a run down on how to get more surveys.


    On the same subject of surveys, for everyone, some of the special offer sites, ask you to fill out a "Survey" for x amount of SBs. These are not surveys. They are sites who are advertising only and trying to get your info just to inundate you with offers or spam and are not careful with your info.
    Some people fill them out with false details but I don't recommend that.
    A couple of them are ok to do but I avoid them all like the plague.

    You can usually spot them as they will say "Win a years shopping at so and so. Fill out the survey" or "Win a car". Avoidance is the best protection.

    Genuine surveys can be checked if at all in doubt by googling the name of the company.
    For instance, still on special offers you might see "Join IPoll now. Fill out the survey completely" for x SBs. IPoll is a legitimate survey company.

    All the surveys on Swagbucks own Survey page are 100% genuine companies, albeit somewhat sneaky at times when they don't pay but thats a separate issue.

    This was added to Facebook Swagbucks UK this morning:
    For anyone who has not had trusted surveys for a long time and fears they may have been banned. Write in to our CS, where there is a dedicated support member for trusted surveys who can look at your ID and tell you if yours has indeed been shut down...

    Thank you all who post comps and answer questions.
