    Hi,

    When I used to do the daily surveys, it's used to be Toluna, and there used to be some good ones like the Brain Juicers.

    Now, when I click on daily surveys, it takes me to Global Test Market, and not only don't the surveys seem as good, but I can't even get past the initial questions page half the time, as it doesn't work properly.

    So, has Toluna been dropped from Swagbucks then?

    Thanks

    No, if they are available they are on a tile on the homepage quite far down, the tile is two hands typing on a keyboard

  • Sometimes it's Toluna, sometimes it's GTM. It's random.

    Toluna has signed a deal with another PTC site, can't for the life of me remember which one now. I posted about it previously, if you care to search for it. Whatever Toluna surveys come through now are via another provider- you know, like how we get fed GFK or IPSOS surveys through other providers sometimes. Only the ones where they can't make their quotas any other way.

    Swagbucks has gone massively downhill for me since the dropped dailies with Toluna. I won't even waste my time trying to complete a GTM- I never qualify and on the rare occasion I do, they never credit. They are very poorly designed too.

    No Toluna seems to come back at random times throughout the day for me. Otherwise its GTM which actually i find better when going in through the survey dashboard as they credit right away unlike on the offer page which have always sneeded a ticket for me

    I still get toluna via the home page card on SB and the "give us your 2 cents on Instagc" Nothing has changed for me apart from how the card looks on the homepage, same dailies are available as i had 18 months ago, if i click the card.

    Just spent a lifetime listening to 200 songs for a radio survey only to be told "Bummer, this survey was not a match" :mad:

    Also had a survey that wouldn't submit earlier about icons, etc. But I put a ticket in for that. Still waiting to hear back on that one.

    I had a 50 track for SongPeople that let me finish and then said DQ, but SB credited when I put a ticket in.
