    Have you tried the old reducing the zoom on the page or going full screen? Sometimes it works.
  • I managed to deactivate my account automatically by getting my birthday wrong on a survey. I accidentally put 2019! I am now waiting to get it reactivated..........

    Thanks, but unfortunately this does not work for me. For each of the four Mastercards where I have that £1 balance, and place an order for a gift voucher, the acknowledgement e-mail is quickly followed by "Order canceled: Payment declined". Ah well!:(

    Oh no! I think they can tell that you didn't mean to lie as a baby would be unlikely to fill in a survey, but they might say you weren't paying attention and being accurate. Good luck getting reinstated.
  • Have just joined the April challenge which starts on the 15th (I think)

    Noticed you can earn points through "swagbucks live" an app that asks trivia questions. Anyone used this app and can recommend it? Or is it new Im wondering.

    It's a live 10 question (usually) quiz that runs from from Monday to Thursday. On Monday there are two. Pros and cons below:

    Pros:
    Its a bit of fun
    You can earn a few bonus SB
    You can earn a significant sum if you win
    The overall prize pot is attractive $1,000 each ($500 for quiz 1 on Mondays)
    Can help gain knowledge
    You can re-join for free (once) if you have earned "free re-joins"
    You can pay to re-join, if you are close to winning and get a question wrong
    Cons:
    You have to stay up late - the quizzes run at 1 am GMT (quiz 1 Monday 12 midnight)
    It's not easy to win (I've got to the last question and failed on that twice).
    You can get sucked into rejoining for payment of SB when there's not really much hope.
    Rejoining get increasingly costly if close to the end and can outweigh the benefit
    Sometimes the questions are US-focussed
    The hosts can be really irritating
    The prize is shared between winners and is sometimes very small (if questions are on the easy side and there are loads of winners)
    You have to stay to the end of the quiz to earn bonus SB

    Give it a try, nothing lost, if it's not for you and share your experience on here:beer:

    I've won twice but not much. It can be good if you are a night owl.
    Free rejoins which you win seem to expire fairly quickly.
