    All I've got left is how are you doing on browser and operating system updates? Chrome should update it itself but I think you can check by going to settings/about Chrome where there should be a blue tick saying it's up tp date.

    I can do the games on chrome on PC usually after having to allow flash.
    Oh cannot do them on his chromebook, despite allowing etc.
    He goes on PC (same one as I use) as has his own google account on it but still cannot do the games on it.
    Logged him into firefox, & edge on PC but still cannot do the games.
    So starting to think it something in his SB account that is preventing it?
  • My swagasaurus went out of action for one day then seemed to return the next day. Seems to be no set reason for it. Annoying though.

    Thanks for all the info on the quiz thing. I'm not sitting up till 1 just for a few extra swagbucks though. :rotfl: Have to draw the line somewhere. Is that the only time they run it?

    I agree. One of my referrals uses the same pc and has had no problem. My dino has been on unauthorised annual leave :mad: for exactly one week and is finally back up and running (off the cliff:D) today.

    I've tried, incognito sessions, different browsers, different devices and any other config I could come up with all to no avail

    The conspiracy theorist in me says it's another way for them to reduce earning:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Saving a house deposit. Member no.7 100% of target :D

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    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!:(

    I've had that problem again with mine. Was hopeful for a while that I could clear the pounds. I'll donate them to charities as they don't take the test deductions first.

    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.

    Biggest win I have seen is when 8 people shared $2,500 on a 15 question special edition so got over $310 each (about £230), I have seen it as low as 30 odd SBs - and quite a few in the £5 to £30 area.

    Main game is usually $1000 to be shared by all winners, 10 multiple choice questions each with 3 answer options with 10 secs to answer each one, after the first simple question each one you get correct is worth 1 SB (whether you are out of the game or not) and you have to claim them at the end of the game - very occasionally they pay SBs based on the question number so 1 SB for question 1 through to 10 SB for question 10 so you can earn up to 54 SB on top of any share of the main prize. Even with the presenter chatting before and after each question and expressing their "joy" at the number of rejoins the games are done in less than 15 mins.

    The $500 one is the same sort of thing but only questions 8,9,10 have the chance to earn SB (2 per question).


    (Number of players varies usually from 10 to 12 thousand or more, might depend a bit if there is a topic or not for the questions, sometimes they are just random other times there might be a theme - Harry potter, MMA, presidents day etc)

    Just got a collectors bill from searching through the Team Challenge page - https://www.swagbucks.com/?f=55&t=w&p=1&q=Movie+Trailers - I've also added this to the first post along with other search links :)

    RE Swagasaurus - I find it only works for me on Chrome if on the games page I click the padlock to the left of the URL and allow Flash. Then, after I've clicked Swagasaurus Run and before I click "Play for free", I click the shield to the right of the URL bar and click "Load unsafe scripts" (obviously use your judgement on that one) and then the game loads after a couple of seconds. Another tip people have mentioned before that works for some is zooming the screen out (CTRL and - on Chrome) and then clicking Play.

    I'll add this to the first post as well, and if anyone else has anything that might be useful let me know and I'll add that too :)
