    It's time for the last Turkey Day Swag Code of the day.
    Enter Stuffing1 in the Swag code box until 2PM GMT to earn 6SB.

    Yeah Ive had a lot of non crediting surveys put in loads of tickets and just getting the standard email reply back nothing is being looked into or manually credited.

    Annoyingly they only credit after you've responded to the email with the information you have already given them in your ticket....

    Hope they do credit your account.

    GTM won't even load for me, no matter which platform they come up on - 60, 70 or 80sb filters. Swagbucks is becoming such a waste of my time again. I think it's their annual, 'we'll make the site better' aka we'll pay out less to our users and hope they don't notice whilst we fob them off with a gift card sale.

    They could also care less about fixing the daily crave which I've been raising for weeks now. Another way not to pay out.

    I only joined SB a few days ago, as a result of the mse email last week. I have to say that so far I'm finding it's a bit of a con.

    The surveys are listed with time estimates, but then you end up going through multiple surveys (answering lots of questions, including repeat questions to prequalify and then again for the survey itself). I've reached the end screen or penultimate screen of a number of surveys, answering all questions, only to be rewarded with nothing or 1SB if I'm lucky. If these surveys had been completed using the originating survey site, the reward achieved so far would already be more than the £5 goal for SB that I'm still way off.

    If you look at all the scripts running in the background on the site, it's also not a "clean" site.

    The discover offers are mostly spammy, data harvesting junk offers. I would hate to hand over my details to those sites. I signed up for one offer I thought would be okay (Shaw Academy) but not only has it not appeared in my activity, I'm now getting emails and even a request to contact me via telephone.

    My watch playlist only worked for one day, after which all I get is an "oops" message stating the playlists are not available.

    Looking at the swag feast leaderboard I can't understand how people have managed to gain so many points, unless they're actually spending money on the spend offers, or handing over their credit card details to dodgy sites. Even if they are spending money, I have to wonder why someone would bother for the "chance" of earning a measly 100SB extra at most - normal cashback sites surely offer better returns.

    So far the only thing I like are the games and the swag codes.

    Maybe this difficulty in accumulating points is just a result of the influx of mse readers joining the site this week? The three hour estimate (to earn 620 SBs) in the mse email was highly inaccurate (based on my experience), and I'm not finding this site to be worth the effort. I don't know how the regulars on here manage it.

    Daily Crave working for me. I'm not doing many surveys, with everybody having issues, but the problem seems to be connected to going in through the portals, home page ones maybe? Does going in through the answer page portals get the same non paying result?

    I'm only doing individual surveys from PL or the answer page. Hasn't given me any no pay problems except the odd dq that doesn't pay.

    I'm interested in more details about about how you do this, what to look for!

    A lot of what your saying is correct. Shaw Acadamy should pay in time or might need a query submitting.

    The Watch playlist have various auto exclusions if you break their known or unknown rules. Too many users sharing a connection or ip can cause those blackouts, as can attempting to watch two playlist vids at once, even if briefly and unintentionally. Watching through the morning 8am reset seems to cause me to loose them as does having them running from 8am till past 12 at night.

    If your willing you get better with practice and understanding and asking us!

    Essentially though, if you have other options, they'll probably pay better.

    The big hitters on these lists will undoubtedly get most of their points from referrals.
