Swagbucking into 2019... Nearly ;)

If this isn’t the right thread for my question please can someone steer me to the best place? Obviously I’m not a swag bucks expert in any way! 😁

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but did anyone join Swagbucks after the MSE newsletter alert about the August bonus for newbies (https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/swagbucks/)? The extra SBs are not showing up in my account yet and it’s been over 10 days since I reached the minimum SBs required. Would be great if one of you experts told me how long these would usually take to be applied? Thanks

Hi walmer3,

I joined Swagbucks after the MSE newsletter alert about the February bonus for newbies (the very same offer). The extra SBs have never showed up in my account and it’s been over 210 days since I reached the minimum SBs required. I've never done anything about that, though. Don't know if it actually worked for anyone at all. :mad:

Gold Survey 10312290. On a new electricity idea. Awards points for each question answered correctly and pays in amazon vouchers. I got 75p plus the swagbucks.

Just had another Userzoom survey - a few easy questions on banking and National Insurance Numbers and boom! 100 easy SBs


So I find the majority of Gold Surveys marked as 100SBs for 20 minutes are Userzoom, and they rarely last that long.


Are there any other combinations of points and rewards that they use?

I don’t seem to get the userzoom ones anymore!I miss those ones lol, I have very little surveys that appear now, starting to wonder what other sites might be better for surveys!

I don't seem to get the userzoom either. I do have a fair few surveys available but the amount paid is so poor I won't do them anyway.

25 mins for 15 is not going to happen :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Prolific are good for the sheer honesty. Virtually never screen out and straightforward payment in to Paypal. There are attention checks and the profile information takes ages when you first join but I really do rate them

I also like Qmee. Again straightforward cash in to Paypal. BUT they do suffer some of the same problems as SB. late screen outs and 'glitches' when you've completed the survey and then don't get paid. I find there are less issues than SB but their support can be a bit hit & miss. Sometimes they find in your favour sometimes they fob you off :mad:

This sounds great, thanks for sharing. However I often find that I find the same surveys other people have mentioned but with different survey numbers. It would be useful to me if people posted the time and SB rather than the number as this would potentially help me to identify it.

It's mostly, but not exclusively, academic research so the studies can be quite interesting but sometimes very odd. It's unfortunately quiet during academic holidays so can lack some consistency for earning potential

Step 1 - 2 SB

Step 2 - 6 SB

Notes:

(1) Got an American themed SB live question wrong last night and didn't rejoin. America focused questions tend to be where I foul up generally.

(2) I cashed in HideOut to tick off Discover this morning.

(3) I hit a boring survey on eating out!
