Swagbucking into 2014

Where have you read these comments? I can't find them on the poll page.

ETA. It's ok. I found them.

I can only tell you what I have found from my experience.

Captchas are used throughout the internet (not just on Swagbucks) to prevent 'bot' use and not because people are suspected of using them.

If you get a captcha, enter it straight away. If you don't, you will lose the swagbucks plus the computer will *think* you are not watching and is more likely to give you another captcha next time.
Those who don't enter captchas quick enough will find they will have more and more of them so if you watch SBTV on the floating window and it is minimised all the time, keep an eye on it when its at 90%.
Also, when SBTV has reached 100% and it says "Congratulations. You've won 3 Swagbucks", its best not to leave that sat for too long to avoid captchas in future.

As far as the meter goes I often advance to the next video as soon as the meter goes up 10%. As you say, why else do they have the meter move up if you can't go to the next one? What would be the point?
However, I don't advance as soon as the meter moves every single time but I do a lot. My window is minimised most of the time but I would take a guess that I advance as soon as the meter goes up 40% of the time and after that or the end of a video 60% of the time.

I use SBTV every day from morning till bedtime. I use it on the floating window only and never through 'Watch'.
In all the time I've been on Swagbucks, I have had less than 5 captchas on it.

Unless there is a specific rule about the use of SBTV on Swagbucks, I go by the principle that what I do is ok and ignore most of the rumours but whenever in doubt, contact them.

Thanks for your thoughts on this QuackQuackOops. I've only been on Swagbucks for a few weeks now and didn't realise that captchas were ever used on SBTV. Like you I have it on from when I wake, until it tells me I've reached the maximum points and come back tomorrow. I also only use the floating window, but keep it to the right of screen. I then have my other window using the other two thirds of the screen.

I find it helpful to hear from people such as yourself that have a lot of experience on Swagbucks.

Talking of paypal payments, on the slide-out box for rewards on the right of the SB homepage it is still showing me the link to the $50 paypal ...

Anyone know if we can request paypal in USD / $ as it looks like a better payment rate.

No. I have tried this is the past, mixing up the currencies. I think we could do it two or more years ago, but at some stage it changed and you can only request the one currency, bizarrely. At least that's how it was when I last attempted it about four months ago.

You could always try!

Lots of surveys suddenly coming through for me- on gold dash and dailies.

What I like about the surveys, most of the times they give you some kind of a hint on what answers you have to choose to succeed.

Has anyone else had problems with the Radio Loyalty captchas. I just had to scroll through about fifteen different ones before I got one that was readable enough to enter correctly.
