Still no joy, points tally up to 50.whattochoose wrote: »I only have 18, so maybe thats it. I'll watch a few videos and build my points tally up, and let you know if it then works.
Once again, thank you.
Annoyingly the site is telling me i have an adblocker, whether in Opera, Chrome of Microsoft Edge, even though adblocker has been removed, and also browsing history, cookies, etc.
Will try local libraries computers and see if I have any success there.0 -

It's highly unlikely you'll be able to access hideout from a library, if not for the firewall definitely for the ad blockers. You won't have access to disable it.Make £520 a year in 2020 so far (£0 cash £0 AGC)
(2019,£481.69) (2018, no idea!) ( 2017 £673.20) (2016 £800.97) (2015 £791.42/$312)

OK, thanks. Think I'm going to forget about Hideout as a site to accumulate points or SB's.Sugarplum634 wrote: »It's highly unlikely you'll be able to access hideout from a library, if not for the firewall definitely for the ad blockers. You won't have access to disable it.0 -

I do all this, expecting an indicator to appear which I can press, allowing my points to be allocated to my SB account, but nothing happens.
I find (in Chrome, anyway) that I have to press F11 for full screen in order to see the Redeem Balance button.0 -

Have you tried logging in to your hideout account from a smart phone, not Swagbucks but hideout tv?
I do this on my way to work to collect the free points, usually 9 points per day from the pre loaded code that appears in the code box when you start watching a video. I only watch the video for 2 seconds, just enough time for the vide to appear then I close it.0 -
Hi squiggles, unfortunately I'm a bit behind the times, and don't have a smart phone, just a very battered basic mobile phone, which I've had for 15 years!Have you tried logging in to your hideout account from a smart phone, not Swagbucks but hideout tv?

What is annoying is when I use Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge, etc, I'm getting an "adblocker detected" message when I click on to the Adscend media page to find some solution, but I don't have any blockers in use at present and have cleared all cookies, so it's all a bit confusing.
And, while I can log on to Hideout TV with no problem, when it comes to converting their points to SB points, no luck at all.
As I said, confusing.0 -

Only suggestion is to contact hideout support centre or try and find a place that has a phone, tablet or pc for you to try it there. Internet cafe, Apple store or try a computer store. Library may be another option.
You could ask someone to log in to your hide out account and do it for you, then change your password.
Try removing Swagbucks from your hide out account and re add it in case it’s a glitch.
27 hideout points is only worth 1 Swagbucks so not really worth the added hassle.0 -
Really? I think I'll forget about it then, there's lots of other ways to accumulate, most notably surveys.Only suggestion is to contact hideout support centre or try and find a place that has a phone, tablet or pc for you to try it there.
