Swagbucking into 2017

Surveys ask for a zip code and when I put my UK post code in, it wont work and doesn't let me go any further. Any thoughts?

If all surveys ask for 'zip', sounds like you are on the US site, not UK.

They appear to have changed Toolbartv, as some of the playlists don't play through automatically, instead when it moves on to a new video, you're supposed to press a 'play' button. Of course you don't need to press the 'play' button as the video will credit without you playing it, although you still need to manually move it on to the next video.

This is currently happening on the 'Let us entertain you', 'That's entertainment' and 'the show must go on' playlists.

Fortunately the whole lot ran from start to finish earlier this morning, hopefully it's not going to be a permanent change.

I think I am, won't let me edit my address to outside of USA. Used a referral link off this site. Could you send me a referral link to the UK site?

Don't think it is the link that is the problem, but that Swagbucks 'sees' you as located in the USA. The more tech people on here may be able to help. Are you using a proxy server, perhaps at work?

Um, some surveys just ask for a zipcode because they can't contemplate that there are people living outside of the US answering their surveys (we can't help that as its the swagbucks front page links that determine what survey we get directed to to answer), I just stick the most famous US zipcode in and carry on regardless in those instances.
If your address on swagbucks in your account information will only accept a US address then thats a different matter and as kippygolf says you might be being seen as located in the US or you might need to email the help team on swagbucks and get it changed as I recall there being someone previously who had this issue.

:rotfl: Snap! I hardly ever qualify for (those) surveys anyway!

Just had to submit a ticket for my AWOL gift card. After a couple of really slow months on Swagbucks I'm really going off it. The amount of time I have to spend working away at it to get £25 (£50 if I'm lucky) a month is draining I'm so reluctant to bin it off though, as it (along with Prolific) is my main source of money at the moment (and Prolific seems to be off on its summer holidays at the moment)

That was the issue haha, thanks!

I've had a few of those surveys that only accept US zip codes - I usually expect to get DQ'd, but sometimes they let you complete them. It's not our fault we receive the wrong surveys.

I notice these surveys always ask if you are Hispanic, AFTER asking your race already. Kind of shady imo, obviously they are racially profiling people and discriminate against people of Latin American heritage.
