    For the team challenge all video playlists are worth 15 points so the sets of 6 videos are the easiest points.

    Hi

    I've had a couple of GTM surveys not credit, I tried to put in a ticket but I only see 4 options to contact support, the "I am missing credit" seems to have been removed?
    Have I missed another change?

    TIA :)

    Is that it for the codes today or is there one more? I've lost count!

    edit - just looked on the FB page, looks like that was 6 of 6, so all done :)

    I'm fairly new to Swagbuck, but I'm thinking it's a lot of effort for minimal return. The surveys seem to average around 70-75SBs for 20 mins, which equated to around 210-220 SBs per hour, which equates to around £1.30 - £1.40 per hour. If factor in the time wasted on screened out and it looks more like less than £1/hour. The other activities seem to reward at a fraction of this. I wasn't expecting to get rich quick, but should pay better than that. I'm probably a bit spoilt, having used Prolific which works out at much better payment rates, they have slowed up a bit while the researchers are on holidays, so I thought I'd look at other sites.

    Plus one of the there discover deals was for a thing called CinemaDen, which has a free period to watch movies. To sign up you have to enter card details and then it wouldn't load. When I tried to cancel the free trial, it wouldn't let me. I did then google cinemaDan and it has lots of reports that it's a scam and they just take recurring payments from cards with zero content in terms of films. So I cancelled my card to be on the safe side, lesson learnt. I'm a bit worried if they are referring to scam sites.

    Am I missing something?

    Nope, you can get most of the stuff from Swagbucks on other sites for better return.
    I do use it for the daily poll, SBTV, instant surveys and maybe some short surveys.

    I prefer to think of Swagbucks as a site I can use lying on the sofa with little to no effort. Any earnings or vouchers need to be seen as a bonus
