I put in a ticket after spending 35 mins completing a survey about wine which didn’t credit and they replied saying I was banned from doing surveys!!

:eek: That's outrageous. They are definitely getting worse.

Yeah it’s pretty frustrating, I’m a topaz member so use it a hell of a lot. Have asked them for some evidence of what I have done wrong but doubt I will hear back. Gone from 400SB a day to scraping the first bonus by having videos playing all day.

Can anyone enlighten me on how to use hide out TV please?

I joined in Jan but never got my head around it. Just got it running and have 3 points..... woohooo

I have seen that some people do it to mark off the discover. How many points does this take and can I then allocate points to either instagc or neobux?

Also have seen codes for extra points......where do these go?

TIA

I was in the same position as you three weeks ago and got tips via the last Team Challenge message board. In short you just set it off (like Smores) and 3 points are awarded per advertising video. To redeem you need a minimum of 27 points. You can get the following bonuses:

Daily: A bonus points code appears each day on the redemption page (usually worth 9 points), just click and the points credit.

Bonus Codes: These show on Hideouts Facebook page, I have the page bookmarked and check periodically. The points awarded for codes vary, I think I've had codes ranging from between 25 and 75 points.

You can leave the videos running but the "Are You Still Watching" banner appears periodically and I'm guessing that one can get banned for periods. Others have said that points are worth more if redeemed outside of Swagbucks but I'm happy as the points help achieve daily goals and tick off Discover. The points can be stored for larger SB redemption.

Give it a go it sounds like you are on the right track, if you look under the Hideout redeem link now you should still have the bonus points code available.

Thanks for that john.............much appreciated. A code appeared in my box and have done my first redeem to insta but as you say its handy when there isnt much happening on swagbucks.

Can shorter videos be favourited so it takes less time or is there a favoured channel?

There's a separate thread here for Hideout:

Very handy to have.

Step 1 - 2 SB

Step 2 - 8 SB

Note: (1) to tick off Discover in the absence of Toro 1-Clicks, I cash in Hideout (on AdscendMedia) first thing each morning now. I do the 1-Clicks on Imutual for around 60p in total per day, means I don't have to worry about the Toro cookies on my desktop any more. IMutual is a separate site, we had a bit of a debate last year, I've cleared over £400 through it in the last 12 months.

Can I ask how do you get so many credited in one day, I'm with imutual and just looked I get about 30p a day, thanks

I've copied my 6th July credits below, which should explain it. The credits total 59p, which is typical, I have found that you need to click Travel Supermarket first each day to get the 10p otherwise it's capped as one of the other clicks counters the credit. At one point it was possible to complete multiple clicks now it's only Booking Buddy that allows 3 searches per day (illustrated below).

I have also copied my annual summary at the bottom which covers the last 50 weeks, most of the credit is clicks.

thanks for being so helpful and taking the time, I didn't know that about travel supermarket so will do that from now on.
I totally forgot about booking buddy and I didn't have vacation saver or car hire either so have just added them.
