Does anyone reading this participate in the offers for SB in which you apply for a quote for a loan?

I thought about 'applying' for the highest value and claiming that I earn less than I do to automatically get a rejection, but wonder if I'll receive anything in the post from them as a result? Don't mind junk email but loathe rubbish through my door.

Just looked at one form and it asked for my sort code and account number! As if..

Anyway - what are your experiences with these forms?

It has been said before, in fact there was quite a debate about it, but the application that Swagbucks are advertising is just to see if you would qualify for a loan, not to actually take one out. I've done the offer twice this week and not used my own details, just put something like 00000001 for the account number and it always goes through.

As a disclaimer I would just like to say that it's my own personal choice to do this, because I know people will jump on it saying it's fraud when it's not, it's an application to see if you qualify, NOT to actually apply for a loan, in that case it would be fraud. So please don't point this out.

Agree.

I only go for these offers usually if someone has posted on here to say it went well and credited and they didn't have to use any of their own information i.e they did something like what Amyea states above - all made up name, address, bank info, old mobile phone number, email address just for junk. Personally, I feel in this case i feel it's low enough risk

A search 'oooo' for 8SB.
Also did another PL survey , an easy music one. Took a bit longer than the other ones earlier but target one hit 140/170.
Should be able to get target 2 at some point today. Woop.

I would definitely say not to use your own details, as someone else said, if there's a chance it could effect your credit rating it's really not worth it.

I haven't had a search win today - 8SB :rotfl:

Oh, hell's bells, I'd never use my own information.
I enter an old mobile number if I ever need one to complete a form and have a dedicated email address for surveys / comps etc.

I'll give using fake info a thought though, after what I've read today.

Thank you all for your input. It's really appreciated.

Having been encraving my way towards today's first target of 119, I've just done a Gold survey that said it would take 2 minutes and credit 41SB. It did both those things - and credited immediately.

Having said that my second goal's 310 - that's the highest I've ever had. :eek: Not even going to try to make that today!

Just home from work and found that I've had a 50SB survey credit today, another one of those I've no idea where it came from as I don't recall having any none crediting surveys lately.

Still nice boost towards todays targets.

OMG :eek: I've just got my biggest search win. 47SB for celebrity countdown. Second goal now achieved, 2 days in a row :T (although I can feel a mighty crash coming :rotfl: )
