    I have been swagbucking for 3 months now and finally just seen my first instant survey! For a whole 4SB!

    Instant surveys have become very few and far between recently. I used to get one or two a day but not it is about one a week if I'm lucky!

    Discover --> Kiwi Wall --> Special Offer: KiwiWall: In Compass | CPL | UK --> 27 SB.

    Very quick and nice survey, without any annoying questions, it did credit instantly but it's only 27 SB - still, it's worth the time in my opinion.

    Thanks. Paid up pretty quick. It's actually a qualification survey to install the ipsos inCompass monitoring app on your phone. When I said I had a windows phone, it said 'no problem we'd like to send you a device to carry around at all times'! When I said no, it just gave a log-in/register page, which I closed but it didn't say thanks or anything. Paid up shortly after. They are actually offering £10 a month in shopping vouchers for running the app.

    Edit: I have actually already done a week long ipsos survey where they sent me a simple Alcatel phone for a week and they paid me £35 in Amazon vouchers. I hated doing it but it was real enough.

    I haven't done the incompass monitoring app but the ipsos one sounded good, didn't get into that.
    I do the incompass diaries for a week they're £5 and are not too bad, I'm only in my second week so far.

    Yes, I did that Ipsos one, diary was a bit tedious, but I got further payment for allowing app monitoring on my Android for 30 days. So quite interested in the InCompass £10 + £10 month, but was bit worried about having to allow 'audio' monitoring. Have looked at their FAQs, and it says:
    MediaCell+ App is an electronic audience measurement system. It will sit in the background of your phone and monitor what you are watching and listening to via:
    Inaudible codes that are embedded in broadcast audio signals and then detected by an application on your Smartphone.
    A code generated from sound that may be a TV show or radio station audible to your device even when you are not using it
    It will also measure which Apps/websites you are visiting via a VPN connection.

    Has anyone else received a parcel today with several sachets of blackhead mask treatment?

    I vaguely remember doing a Discover offer a couple of weeks ago, I clicked away before they asked for my bank details, but now they've sent out the product and are asking for payment.

    I don't want it! Feel like I should return the product to them, but they are in Denmark and it's going to cost ££ to post. :eek:

    Wish I hadn't gone for the Discover thing now, not worth the points... :(

    Thank god it wasn't just me!! I also got this and panicked! I don't remember even putting my home address in and also I never received an email to cancel it. I'm not planning on returning it as I hadn't signed for it. Although, I may do as mentioned above - close it and say not at address.

    Have you seen how much they claim it's worth?! It looks so cheap!!

    I had the same thing, no email received. I emailed them and got quite a nasty email back. DS googled them and there is an ongoing investigation by the Danish consumer rights people. So he is trying to contact them for their advice. the packaging was terrible and a smudged return address on the front. If I hear anymore I'll let you know.

    I gather some people used false details but if the SBs tracked to a valid SB account then their verified details inc postal address would be held by SB
