    Does everybody do Crowdflower (now Figure Eight) tasks? If not it's worth looking at. In Swagbucks look under Answer + Tasks. There are usually easy Market Research Jobs each morning.

    Apart from Swagbucks its best to use "Figure Eight Elite" this pays $ cash. The fact that there were a load of really quick 30 cent jobs last night prompted me to write this. Each job took 2 minutes at most and involved assessing descriptions of people.

    The high paying tasks may still be up but to get the full range of tasks users need to earn badges, not all tasks are available to everybody.

    The platform used to be much better but there are still times when it's worth doing the odd survey or other job nowadays.

    Hope this helps somebody.

    Saw this on Facebook about Daily Crave, in response to someone saying they could still get nCrave through Watch:

    we recommend you check your browser and anti-virus/firewall settings to make sure no ad blocking is in place or perhaps try a different device or IP in case of being associated with a flagged IP address. When videos are available, please make sure you are watching and engaging with the content as multi-tasking with multiple tabs, etc. can cause the verification services to flag your account. While we regret that a small portion of users may be adversely affected by being blocked by the verification services, Swagbucks has no control over which members have been flagged nor are we able to assist in "unblocking." I'm very sorry for the frustration this can cause. Because this is a verification service, they do not have a contact for users.


    I wonder if they are saying that we've all gotten banned because of the repeating Dailies?

    That's exactly what they're saying. In other words: bull manure. It's not happening to a "small portion of users" - I assume all our IPs have been flagged by them because some dope who works there forgot to turn off the 'allow repeat viewings' button or something. Of course it's never their fault, it's us.

    [/QUOTE]I do do Crowdflower/figure eight - I don't know what Elite is though, do you have a link?[/QUOTE]

    https://elite.figure-eight.com

    I have pasted the link above. With Elite you get the full value of the tasks as you are working direct with no middle man. I think that if you already have ties with Crowdflower its just a case of registering, i.e. you don't need to re-earn achievement badges - I kept my level 3.

    You will see that the payments are noticeably higher, I only do tasks through Swagbucks when the task is not on Elite (the Market Research jobs) or I need to odd few SB to reach a goal at the end of the day. I still have a straight Crowdflower profile but never use it.
  • Thanks for that. I generally only do quick tasks because the pay is so bad. They have the odd study survey or something too and I am level 3 so I will take a look :)

    I had this last year and I had to put a ticket in 2-3 times and it took about 2 weeks for them to finally lift the ban! I think I was getting disqualified from surveys too many times so they just banned me for it :( It was frustating because whilst I was banned there was a swago board which I could only earn 5 points becuase of the survey ban! They said if I was banned again it would be permanent...
