    Thanks SergioRam - credited no problem! I had already tried this through the main discover page and it didn't credit but maybe I rushed it. Thanks for your help. Got a 5sb completion bonus today!

    And thanks Kippygolf too

    There's a serious problem with being screened out at the end of surveys. At this point it's clearly a scam to get your info without having to pay you because I'd imagine that, with surveys being anonymous, there's no way for Swagbucks to prove that they're doing anything wrong.

    I've just come back to SB after a bit of a break and now I remember why I stopped - survey ripoff syndrome!

    I notice now you often click to attempt a 10-minute survey and the next page says "welcome to our 15-minute survey" or you immediately don't qualify but can attempt the 25 minute one. This is extremely obvious so I am sure SB are aware it's happening and again turning a blind eye.
    I click out rather than be ripped off, my decision, but it costs me!
  • Has anyone done the referral thing where you get 300SB if your referral makes 300SB this month?

    I got someone to sign up and they've made 300 (which took a lot of convincing) but neither of us have received the bonus.

    Swagbucks surveys are really poor payers (you can get 10 times the payment or more on some of the actual survey sites) so no big loss.

    Some of the swagbucks ones that offer an alternative survey have an option to not take the survey and that still pays the 1 SB for a DQ.

    They pay at the beginning of the following month. Normally around the 7th I think.

    Erm not sure how I have done this...


    I had about 800SB on my account so just ordered an amazon giftcard for 700SB. Somehow I ordered two and I now have a balance of -594 SB.


    Anyone had that before, do they just correct it?
