    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?

    If this is the wrong place for this sort of post please let me know.

    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
