    I queried my swagups and they said you needed to have 5 DQs every day even if you had managed to do a survey all the way through.
    I dont think that was clear in the blog really but I cant remember.
    I had thought it meant you needed to do 5 a day and if you were DQ'ed on all, then it didn't matter as long as one was completed in the 5 day stretch(So I did 5 a day overall).
    But what they are saying seems to be..on the days you managed to complete one (or more) all through,you needed to still have 5 DQ's also..
    I don't know about you but it feels very much like the goalposts moved midway through the game..


    From the blog:
    Attempt 5 surveys a day and complete 1 survey within the week and receive a Swag Up for a 150 SB Rebate

    I took it to mean 5 DQs and/or completed surveys each day + 1.
    That's what I did and I got the full 150sb rebate when I ordered my AGC. hth

    Does a completion count as an attempt?
    Yes, we will count completions as attempts however, if you complete a survey today, you still need at least 5 more attempts or completions to qualify for the 150 SB Rebate.
    looks like support does not understand it's own rules... so as long as you have 5 dq's or have done 5 surveys or a mix of finished/dq it should not matter as long as 5 a day.

    From what I understand I meant that you had to try for 5 surveys a day but, on the one day you actually completed one, you had to do 6.

    is the sbtv app now dead ? it used to give out 36sb and now it doesn't give any it says i have reached the allotted amount although i haven't used it today. i know the apps have been reduced but i thought sbtv app wasn't included.

    Thanks to Martin Potts on FB
    Radium One, Echo of the soul for 46 sbs. I had to register with new email address, username, etc. I started the download, but did not need to complete it for it to credit

    Worked for me.

    Oh well,its nice to have be given a few extra points I suppose and I did persevere with the surveys longer than I normally would have.

    To add to the debate: I'm about to give birth and hopefully start Breastfeeding. To earn the odd gift card here and there from when I'm already sat immobile will be worth it for me. I don't know if I'd bother with surveys et. If I was still working ft though

    SBTV app works fine for me on andoid.
    There have been problems for some on iOs when also using 'MobileXpressions' as well, as it installs a VPN, meaning it runs via a shared connection and thus other SBTV users on the same connection messed up the amount available.
