    They all have been recently, UNLESS you override the security in your browser and allow what are billed as 'unsafe scripts' to run.
    I don't as I have no idea what the script will do or what risk I would be taking. My desktop cost a lot of money, I have a lot of personal info stored on it. Its personal preference but I am not prepared to risk it for a couple of pennies.

    Its odd as SB recommend Chrome, tell you it should be up to date and then code parts of their site in direct opposition to the current security recommendations.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm faring a bit better now, got up to 379sb after a trying a few surveys each day yesterday and today. I still get the odd survey which fails or kicks me out for being ineligible. I guess it's just luck of the draw.

    The survey's paying 2sb for every 10 questions seem the most worth it, while watching videos and playing apps seems pretty useless.

    The codes thread is coming in useful.

    Do many people get bonuses from link searches? I saw the MSE post about it and managed to get 18sb for 2 of the listed search links, otherwise nothing.

    Any more tips? :)
  • Anyone know if you can still pay paypal invoices with repaid mastercard? When you invoice your non-paypal account email address? I've not done it for a year or more and didn't want to cash out mastercard and not be able to transfer it to paypal.

    Thanks

    Well swagbucks seem to be having problems at the moment, however what your describing sounds like a normal swagbucks experience, it pays very little and the whole survey system is frustrating and unfair. The only way to do surveys is to keep trying until you get one your eligible for. If it works correctly there are are 5 swagbucks available per day for disqualifications, otherwise nothing. Also some 'surveys' are actually portals where separate partner survey companies put us through survey after survey until they find one we fit and don't give a DQ (1 sb, or swagbuck) when they fail.
    Apps pay a maximum of 34sb a day from 6 apps unless there are lots of ads that they need watching, in which case there will be bonus rounds.
    1sb is actually equivalent to 1 cent on the American part of the site but we don't even get that that thanks to the way the handle cashing out.
    Watch videos do pay a pittance.
    https://help.swagbucks.com/hc/en-us/requests/new? will allow you to submit a new ticket about survey, the first response you get for each request will be automated, annoying and needs to be replied to to get an human response. It looks like they may be receiving many requests at the moment, so the system is probably overloaded.

    If you want to persist, I'm sure we'll be able to come up with more specific help


    That’s strange, I seem to have no limit on SB from disqualified surveys, I count 42 from today.

    Perhaps I’ve been lucky, I average around 300SB a day just from surveys and the To Do List on weekdays and squeeze the daily goal of around 90 at weekends, just 😅

    I didn't know there was a To Do List, where would I find that? I'm stuck at around 470sb now and have come to realise a pattern with the larger amounts being offered for surveys. Anything above 40sb seems to be ineligible fairly early on or just stop working part way through - most that are 30sb or so are more likely to complete and payout.

    Also just incase no-one was aware there is a 14sb daily cap on watching videos, so you can't just leave them running forever...shame :rotfl:

    If anything the daily bonuses and the quick questions seem to have the most reliable payout, though obviously there's caps on these as well.

    Ah well, even if it doesn't pay all that much at least it gives me something worthwhile to do while walking to work sometimes until I get bored of it haha. I suspect after a month or less i'll give it up depending how much payout I can get by end of February.
  • Just caught my first instant in a long time...can’t open it though. I’ve seen other posts about having to click a box but that’s not an option on my iPhone. Does that mean I can’t do them anymore?
