When completing PL surveys that do not credit are people putting in a ticket with PL or SB's?

I had a PL survey a week ago that did not credit, I put a ticket in to PL& it's still open on the helpdesk & I've not received any credit. Totally forgot I'd put the ticket in til this morning when I completed another one that didn't credit. So do I just go straight to SB or do I have to go to PL to chase these?

You need to go to PL - on transactions page you will see a contact support button

Hello, I've been using swagbucks a little while now. I use the search box, complete peanut labs surveys, watch videos and play the videos from the orange box (with the white play button) on the home page. Can anyone recommend what other parts of the website are worthwhile using to gain points?


...been a little cautious of some things as I didn't want to get into a scammy type thing/sign up for something I don't want etc.! Any help would be great!

See the very first post of this thread for an excellent overview.

In adition to watching SBTV (every 10 = 3 SB up to a max of 150) you can also get apps for your phone that allow you to gain a few more (~18 in the case of sport.ly for the iphone/android).

You can also play the games - I pplay flip out - I press play, wait for timer to end without actually playing the game - then repeat this 10 times - for each set of 2 you will get 2SB.
You can also play the radio loyalty in the background for 1SB every 40 minutes but it does tend to try and hijack you PC with malware so avoid unless desperate and your anti virus is on.


I agree I don't do the surveys as its a bit hit or miss and I don't want to join all the offers because of spam (even with a spam email)


So all I do is this a day

10 SB - Play Flipout 10 times
4 SB - NOSO, Toolbar and Daily Poll
12 SB (on avg sometimes more) for searches 2 wins a day
5 SB (on avg) on the red videos
5 SB (on avg) on the Special Offer Super Rewards 'Carousel' video)
18 SB new Sportly Iphone App - (just pick the shortest vid , add to favs and just repeat until you are maxed out at 18 SB/day earnings)
6 SB INSTANT survey (don't always get them)

So the above adds up to around 60 SB / day.

I then top that up with SBTV to get over first daily target.

If you have an android mobile I believe there are a few more apps that you can put on autopilot to top up with more SB.

If you don't mind filling in surveys you could probably do the above + one survey and avoid the SBTV altogether to get your daily first target to build up your win streak.

Doing this means I get a bit of fun money without it taking over my life. When I first started I was on Swagbucks all day constantly refreshing to try and get as many points as possible (its quite addictive don't you think?), messing around with surveys and installing hit and miss apps on my phone - it was distracting for work and for my home life so had to reign it in a bit - it is only a few pounds after all and its crazy spending hours and hours for that a day.

So doing my routine I've effectively spent about 30 mins doing the above over a day (SBTV is distracting but not much effort to just keep jumping to the next one) to get ~50p - it still seems too much - but its a hobby and I enjoy it and most peoples hobbies involve spending money where as I get £20 a month for this :-)

Anyone do crowdflower?

Specifically, Current Events Survey on External Site?
I input the code but it says invalid, but the blue submit button is just sat on 'Submitting'.

Anyone else have this problem?

that's the one that didn't work for me, complained to crowdflower w/ the completion code, and got a 4sb 'bonus' as an 'apology' but no sign of the actual survey points :mad:

Orange box video offer on the front page is now 'watch four videos for 1sb':shocked:

I've personally decided to boycott these it used to be just 1 then 2 or 3 and now 4 videos for just a single SB and in the last few days it has been hit or miss if you even get the 1 SB credit!!!! Not for me if others avoid them too SB may have a rethink.

Thank you for your post! It's interesting to read what other people do on there. I will have another read through the first post too to see if there's a trick I'm missing


I agree with your last point too! I sometimes think that at least I'm spending my time doing something that's proactively taking me closer to my goal of buying a house (every little helps!), instead of just sitting around wasting my time or money on something rubbish getting me nowhere

Sport.ly is also available for Android.
If i watch SBTV on desktop, I get 3sb for every 10 video not 2?

Sorry if its been asked but what ios apps are we allowed to use in the UK please?

PL survey for 36 SB for supposedly 10 mins took WAY OVER! Grrrrr My comments at the end were. Please be honest about time as you expect us to be!

I have had the same & when I asked where these bonus points were they do not reply! I avoid tasks if I can
