    a dashboard , daily and ssi survey.
    Target 2 is achieved. Not to bad for a Saturday and it was quite quick
    INACTIVE ACCOUNT
  • Ok so I have had the radio in a new window playing in the background (I can hear it) for the last hour. I have just typed in the verify & it is playing again. But it has not credited.
    I have had the Encrave playing in the background in another new window too (can hear the BOTH). But it has not credited & been an hour. I have the green tick too but it is not ticking the videos as they play unless I look at it.
    Will let you know if the extension playing the SBTV credits when I have reached 10
    How long does the SB take to appear?

    As far as the radio goes, the SB will credit, it just usually takes longer. I did one round yesterday to check it worked and it credited after about 30 minutes or so.

    When I tried it yesterday I opened Swagbucks in Chrome, opened Encrave, clicked it to play, clicked the green tick button and then pressed Ctrl and Tab, this jumped me back to my original Swagbucks tab, but Encrave is still running. Check it after about ten minutes to see if it's credited. But remember, if you go back to the Encrave page to check it's progress you must Ctrl + Tab to go back to a separate tab, you can't just click with your mouse on a different tab otherwise it knows your not looking hehe. :D

    Brilliant. Thank you. I too use Chrome, but it only worked if I didn't actually minimised them but clicked on the other window. If I used the - they stopped. Also I got SBTV in a new window by right clicking on the man picture. Having any of these in a tab instead of a new window didn't work. Bit late but need to reach my 2nd target today & it has been slow. :(

    They won't work properly unless you open them and tab them out in the exact way outlined.

    Clicking into Sb TV from the homepage won't work. It will stop crediting as soon as you move focus onto another page or if you minimise it.

    For SBTV you have to open it from the chrome extension.
    On the 'To Do List' click on toolbar and get that put up onto your browser. It's very straightforward.
    You then have a little green Swagbucks Extension icon sitting in the top right of your screen which works totally independently from anything else.
    If you click that icon, it pulls down a little window and will show you more icons down the side.
    Clicking the 2nd icon down will open SBTV in another popped out window which can then be minimised without it stopping the videos.

    That extension will also flash up messages such as "There is a new Swag Code available" or that your account has been credited with more SBs, so you know if encrave has finished its round etc. The last icon in the list will tell you where to find that swagcode.

    Encrave is the same. You can't just use the '-' to minimise it because it will go 'off focus' and will not credit.
    In order to keep it crediting, you have to press ctrl+tab whilst on encrave. You will then be tabbed onto another page but encrave will still run.
    Radio loyalty opens into its own independent window straight from the off, which is handy, and can be minimised and will still credit.

    The other thing that I forgot to mention, make sure you have Unlimited download because having these windows playing videos/music open all day eats the usage up something crazy and it would be counter-productive to then have to pay any excess usage charge.

    Keep at it :)

    The radio will credit, it just doesn't show up in your account immediately. It can take an hour.
    Encrave I've gone through the right way to open it in the last post above.
    Don't forget you get 10 SBs for playing games

    Oh no! That one SB could make all the difference by the end of the day.

    I wonder what went wrong there? Maybe someone forgot to do it and will do it later on?
