    I just tried to redeem my birthday swag up- clicked through to activate it and redeemed my gift card. IT didn't get added. Put in a ticket and got a generic automated response. Tried to reply to that- no idea if it will work and told them I'm sick of their automated response system and could they please read my query and get back to me! 0_0

    On top of that all the apps are blank on IOS. So SICK of Swagbucks.

    For what it's worth I have completed 2 surveys (40sb + 75sb) and been dq'ed from a few others so it doesn't seem much different for me.

    I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Swagbucks. I have been trying to do surveys but have often found that their quota has been fulfilled for the day, I've apparently already done the survey in question, I am told that I don't qualify right at the start or I spend 10 minutes only to be told I don't qualify or the quota has been fulfilled. As such I am finding it increasingly hard to find surveys that I can do so I am down to about 2 successful attempts per week, but even that meagre return means trying 3 or 4 surveys per day.

    I find it's swings and roundabouts with SB - the other day I got 490SB from surveys alone, today I think I managed one 70SB.

    But (don't know whether I'm late to the party or wot!) I've realised you don't even need to watch videos to get credited - I can get my 10SB from SBTV in <5 mins as I just skip after 1-3 seconds. Same with the other video apps (when they work properly), and on the Swagbutton I only need the ad to play for the meter to go up.

    Peanut Labs surveys are generally a better bet IMO, as you generally know immediately if you'll be screened out, and also they tend to be shorter anyway. The "Grab-an-App"-type offers are good too, when they credit.

    Glad it's not just me that's having a bad time with the surveys.
