    I'm now at +26, but only getting 1sb per 6 videos, which is less then it was before. Boo and hiss. Still, easy SB.

    How is that less? It's always been 1 SB for 6 ads for me (not videos) for months and months now. The only thing that changed is their counter in the right hand corner and that;'s what credits. Once day even 6 ads would only count to 0.78 and it did not credit, it tokk another ad for make it go over 0.8. Until today that was - maybe they are fixing the right hand counter, it credited with a +0 , that's a first lol

    toolbar videos used to auto move onto the next video, so I could just go through the list on its own, the past few days I have to click play on them
    this is in chrome and I don't use the swagbutton apart from for swago to add a sb code.

    choose a different playlist, even through the button some are a babysitting pain in the neck. Some play through ok.

    When engageme.tv was first released it ran by crediting the user for watching 3 ads. A short while later, Swagbucks asked for it to be changed to credit for watching 6 ads. As far as i'm aware, Swagbucks is the only site where you need to watch 6 ads in order to receive credit. InstaGC works on 0.7c for 3 ads and for Clixsense it's 1c for 3 ads.

    No surprise there, toolbar TV was 10 videos to earn 3 SB, then 20 and now it's 25, basic peanutlabs surveys paid 39 now it's 29, First to do bonus last month totaled 49 SB, this month looks like being 30.

    I stopped doing Peanut Labs when it went from 60 to 48.
    Swagbucks have been cutting things for a long time.
    It was watch 10 vids on watch for 3SBs when I started.
  • Saw a survey for 1500SB but of course didn't cut the mustard - too old, too young, wrong colour hair, wrong type of toothpaste - who knows! :rotfl:

    I tried to do this one yesterday at about 7.30am on the bus. Of course it only disqualified me five minutes in when I didn't select tooth whitening pen or whatever they were looking to get my opinion on.

    I'e been attempting surveys on the bus every morning. Takes me about 45 minutes to get to work, but yesterday I spent the whole journey being disqualified over and over for 4SB. Today I gave up and put SBTV on and left it running on my lap. By the time I got to work it'd managed to play three videos, needing two for me to earn anything.

    Just used Engagemetv, the earnings counter remained on 0 but the ads watched counter moved correctly and paid after the 6th one.

    Just noticed this posted on UK Facebook. Didn't someone have a problem?
    'We are investigating the Pick A Flick offer we had running recently in the face of a few complaints. The offer has currently been taken down while we investigate. Can anyone tell me their experience of this offer, good or bad, please?'
