    I don't use apps so I can't comment on earning from them (the only time I ever downloaded one on another site it caused a virus and my laptop was beyond repair) but it is harder to earn than when I used to be here a lot a couple of years ago.

    The tasks seem harder, I keep getting kicked out due to low accuracy (which is very debatable in a lot of cases) and I used to get 10sb a day just from games which I can't get anymore.

    However, I do seem to get more surveys than I used to.

    I'm not sure whether you've been conned but a virus couldn't render your laptop 'beyond repair'. Also, the apps are for mobile, not laptops...

    And I also wonder what a mobile app has got to do with a laptop.

    Hi guys,

    I've been Swagbucking a couple of days now and I clicked on 'Gold Surveys' and it says I'm not eligible due to inconsistent answers. I've tried to answer truthfully as I can but I guess answers aren't always going to be 100% consistent, is there anyway to reverse this?

    No, usually it's permanent. But if you've only been swagging a couple of days it would be very unusual to get banned that quickly. How many Gold surveys have you completed?

    It is a lesson to always give consistently honest answers on surveys, or you will find you cannot earn via this method because they all have ways to police this.

    Don't worry about that. You won't make much money from Gold Surveys at the beginning anyway. After a while more surveys will pop up. If not, raise a ticket. Swagbucks customer service is very good.
