    I always take a screenshot as near to the end of a survey as possible, so I have some kind of proof for nonpaying surveys. I have seen others saying that you are not allowed to do that with Brainjuicer ones but I forgot and took a screenshot of the Brainjuicer end page (where they ask your opinion of the survey) and got no credit for it and told I would be blacklisted.
    Does anyone know if this means I won't get any more BJ surveys? For ever? It really is a stupid system.

    If you're scrabbling around for points (like me) ~ On RadiumOne there's a VidySpot video for 1 SB, credits within 1 minute.


    Thanks. See that was "trending". Tried but it didn't play, doesn't credit, and doesn't allow me to do more than once a day! Seem to recall having similar problem in the past.

    I was relying on ncrave for about 3 times an hour but that doesn't always credit so I'm not going to meet today's target.

    Brainjuicer is silly like that. But no, you won't find you get no more Brainjuicer surveys - although in my experience they don't come up that often. How to get around the screenshot problem? Well, I do as follows.

    When I take my screenshots for any survey, I always have in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen a small instance of Notepad in which I have put the survey details, e.g.

    Partner
    # 123456
    50 SB
    15 minutes
    http://www.example.com?all_the_sort_of_referral_string.copied_from_the_location_bar

    Now, this not only helps to identify the survey itself, but also means that since Notepad has the focus, and the survey is in the background (although perfectly visible), Brainjuicer has no idea that you have taken a screenshot of it. So there you have it - they're not as clever as they think they are.

    Thanks for that - good to know, and a good way of recording what we have done. I object to being "blacklisted" - I'm a law abiding member of the public !!! I don't get BJ terribly often, but they do at least usually pay up.

    I reset my browser and not getting ncrave anymore (2SB every few minutes). I assume it is still working for others? I get "We’ve curated videos and articles for you..." but no box.

    Think that happened for me when the regular Watch playlists were extended.
