    Survey #: 337861 - 59sb 35mins

    Gets about 20 mins in and then asks you to login via facebook and if you don't you get dq'd. :mad: Just thought I'd mention it in case, like me, you don't want to do that.

    I'm lucky because my cat lets me use her facebook account for Swaggering, installing facebook apps and the like. ;~)

    This one has been "complained about" by many people over the last few days. It was even more annoying when it related to BOOTS. As far as I remember I have never bought sugar, fresh fish, beer, meat, cereal, or anything else they were asking about in Boots ! It did go on and on didn't it - and I am sure most people lost the will to live and just clicked anywhere which makes their survey counterproductive anyway. I always try to answer carefully but sometimes my patience does run out.

    I had the same on Poundland. I don't even shop there regular but popped in last week and spent £2 on some wool as the bairns are making pompom robins at school to sell at a Christmas craft fair!
    Here I go again on my own....

    I had the same one for the 99p store! I kept thinking 'What flash 99p store has lotto tickets, alcohol and an instore bakery? Mine doesn't!' And 'ew...99p store spirits must be like paint stripper!'.

    They did have trick questions now and then to make sure you were awake like 'What day comes after Monday'?

    Like someone in the thread said earlier - where there were open ended questions I would complain about the stupidity of the survey!

    Toluna have their own site, so are in competition with SB I suppose.

    So I guess they like to annoy people who use SB.

    I was asked about my trip to buy milk at Coop. But they asked about the offering of locally produced fags and famous brands at the in-store bakery.

    SB should care that their customers have been peed off by Toluna.

    That last sentence is all I need to know. If it says Toluna, I don't bother. (Perhaps I miss out on gaining some SBs but my sanity is less compromised.)

    Agree, I clicked at random through it and used the free text boxes to suggest various punishments for the surveys creator. Am finding more and more (esp on PL) that the time suggested is nowhere near the time taken but that one took the p1$$

    Just had an E-mail back from Swagbucks:
