    I'm getting really fed up, whatever I do and wherever I click before I shop it never credits. But after I've paid the bloody banner pops up 'cashback activated', each and every single time.

    You might be better with either Topcashback or Quidco, unless you're already using them. Or have another reason that SB is better for you.

    I find the tracking on both to be fairly reliable and certainly the response is better than SB if you do have to raise a ticket.


    I rarely shop through SB as the rewards seem poor by comparison, the tracking is hit and miss and the support is below par.

    That goes for many things swagbucks although the surveys are probably the worst for "tracking" - For over 15 years I have been completing surveys and out of the thousands of surveys completed direct with the survey sites (at one stage or another probably over 20 different ones) I have never had a survey fail to credit but with swagbucks, along with late disqualifications, the failure seems commonplace.

    I've noticed this a lot recently. So I don't even bother with swagbucks for this anymore. I use kidstart which tracks every time. It even does amazon and not many places do that.

    Also, I've hard smores.tv running for ages now and it's only on 2/6. Anyone else finding this today?

    I've had that on Smores for days whilst others have said it's paying well, only ever gets to 2/6, does the same on instaGC. Before that it was paying well.
