    Im guessing the 80sb surveys were GTM surveys, they never credit for me using the homepage, i only go to GTM through the survey dashboard at the right hand side and 99% get a credit immediatley. Many people are getting that 250 you mention by doing the videos on both options.....the 3 point toolbar tv and the new watch section.

    Yes GTM that's the one, i have put a ticket in but i still have to reach 76 SB's for today's target, if everything had credited i would be fine but as of now i am owed 80 for the survey, 38 for joining bingocams, 38 for joining Globbies, 45 for downloading an app from appfly and 32 for an app with adgate media, 14 for an app with torro that's 247 SB's i have not been credited for.
    I'm sick of wasting my time with swagbucks.

    i never bother putting support emails in at the weekend as i dont think they are working, usually wait till monday and get the credits late monday night.

    oh I was not expecting to be credited, but I didn't even get the usual confirmation emails....I'll just wait a couple of days and then query it, I guess

    i see you are downloading apps, yet say you struggle to get to todays 76sb target ... you should be able to get 86sb just from using the 6 sb's own apps.

    Yes that's true, but it does not alter the fact that i have not been credited for the survey, downloading apps and registering with a couple of sites totalling 247 SB's, that one survey alone would have given me my first target, i shouldn't have to be chasing my first target again and again when things do not credit.

    Hi guys
    I'm getting really fed-up with swagbucks now, it's getting harder and harder lately to earn my points, last year i could get 250 per day easily, now i am lucky if i can get 100/120. Today i downloaded a few apps and was not credited, i joined bingocams on the offertorro wall and was not credited, i have done the 80 SB survey on the homepage and guess what, i was not credited, i have had enough of wasting my time for things not crediting, swagbucks has really gone downhill
    Is there another site that anyone can recommend, i am also a member of clixsense but i want to try another site as well.

    Depends how much effort you want to put in.

    If you do all the apps you get 80+ SB. If you do all the 'watch' videos you probably get another 50+ SB but you need to do it manually throughout the day.

    You can then get 10 SB from playing games, 3 SB from NOSO and daily poll, 4 SB from Toro offers (1 click) and then you have normal SBTV which is 3 SB for every 10 videos you watch etc which you can do the same time as the 'watch', and a few other SB present themselves - and this is without doing any surveys or assuming any search wins.

    I never try and do anything else myself as , as you say, it is problematic crediting and I spend way to much time on Swagbucks anyway without added hassle of chasing up un-credited points


    So without any survey or downloading any external apps etc its still possible to get 200+ SB (£1) a day.

    The crux of Swagbucks is the same now as its always been - its NEVER been a good return for the time you spend - you are talking about £1 an hour (even a day) tops - complaining on here that 'its not worth it' anymore is a bit of a joke because its NEVER been worth it , not when you take step back and see how much you get for the hours you put in. Most of us here are either grateful for that extra £1 a day or are OCD etc... no one is making you do this.

    If you were earning £1.25 a day and now you are earning £1 or less... is it really that much of a difference?

    You have to see the funny side of the sort of post you just made ( and its not just you, lots of people have said exactly the same thing)

    Please point out where i stated 'it's not worth it', maybe you should read my post correctly before you start calling it a joke, i said it was getting harder and i was sick of wasting my time because of non credits etc.
    I earned 247 SB's and was not credited so yes i have put the effort in and no i do not see the funny side of the post i made thank you very much.
