    Word of warning, I did the videostipe once and cancelled before the subscription started. Several months later I had a call from the fraud department of my credit card company, stating a company in Brazil were attempting to take money from my credit card. It turned out to be the same company as Videostipe, yet I hadn't used my credit card with them just a standard bank card. They tried again several months later with another new card but my bank has put a blanket ban on this company. Not sure how they do it as they were different cards.

    Keep an eye on your accounts now you've signed up, but I would suggest that others don't take this offer.

    Thanks for the warning... I had a $1 charge from them and another company which is obviously something to do with them both of which were refunded immediately so they were probably 'testing' my card. I'll call my bank tomorrow to see what I can do.

    Probably explains why they blocked you, you were costing them too much!

    I think you can contest this if you contact them, I've read other people getting the same message and them letting you off as a first warning kind of thing if you get in touch with them. Worth a try.

    I got blocked from surveys a few weeks back, left it a week to see if they'd sort it, then raised a ticket when nothing had happened. 2 weeks later and i'm still waiting for a reply to my ticket.

    Also it was news to me (probably not to you lot) that £10 amazon vouchers are now 1440 so no saving over 2 x £5 vouchers.

    Any offers that credit? Surveys have all but dried up for me the last few days. No idea why, it's not even close to Christmas yet!

    I see the extra bit off the £10 Amazon has gone and now all the multiples of it from £5 upwards are the same cost per £.

    1,440 Amazon
    1,360 M&S, Argos, John Lewis etc

    Thanks for your help. Do you know of any other sites that do pay more rewards than Swagbucks?


    I'm doing well with One Opinion, it's free to join and there's no referral link needed. I do still do surveys on here but I always go there first and do any surveys available as I have previously done some on Swagbucks before and then got none on there as my IP address is listed as having already completed them. The only problems with One Opinion are that there seems to never be more than 2 or 3 surveys a day (if that sometimes) and you can only withdraw £25 at a time which has to be Mastercard.


    Edit: Just reached my 2nd £25 and saw there is a choice for a £25 Amazon gift card. They've either added it since last time or I'd forgotten it was an option.

    F10446856 - Complete 20 SB - 3 mins

    Taking the survey, the progress bar is moving along in big chunks only when it gets to 73% (less than 2 mins) it says you will now be taken to the main survey!! This turns out to be a quick "Shopping" one and in total the whole thing was done inside the 3 mins.
