Withdrew my points and got a popup that my points will be credited within 24 hours. Never had that before and was usually able to withdraw and got points credited to lootup.me instantly and could withdraw to Paypal. 

Yesterday it was instant, today it isn't.

Almost seems like they introduced that to prevent fraud or perhaps because it's the weekend? Anyone else experienced the same?

How many points did you have?  I've just withdrawn some but it was only enough for 1 SB and that credited instantly in Swagbucks.

Almost 1600, I added a screenshot in my earlier post. I withdraw Hideout (jetsetlive, cosycraft, etc) points to lootup.me and loot.tv to Swagbucks. The latter is not profitable at all but the former very much is.

That's a lot.  Sorry, I didn't see the screenshot when I posted my comment.

I redeemed points for an amazon voucher using LootUpMe earlier in the week, late afternoon UK time and it was instant.  Think I have had to wait if redeemed late Friday and maybe weekend but can't remember for sure.  I have noticed that the last 3 withdrawals I have made I have had to take a selfie before I could redeem for a voucher.

Yeah, the selfie bit was introduced a while ago sometime earlier in the week. The thing is that so far I hit "Redeem" on Jetsetlive.tv or any of the other video platforms and the points were added instanly to lootup.me and I could withdraw to Paypal straight away. Now the points show as pending on the video platform and nothing in lootup.me

Sorry misread your earlier post, didn't realise the delay was from Hideout tv.

I wouldn't recommend redeeming Hideout points to Swagbucks unless it helps you to pick up a considerable amount in bonuses. Their rate's a measly 44.4 cents per thousand points but I redeem mine to Keep Rewarding for exactly double that, and there are bonuses there as well.

As Pecunia mentioned, the rate's even higher at LootUp because it's one of Hideout's own sites, but I like to support partner sites that offer the best rates, and if LootUp now requires a selfie that's a definite no-no for me.

1000 Hideout points are 1.11 USD with lootup me. I usually wait until I have at least a 20% boost but usually wait for a 30% or even 35% boost. Higher boosts with a higher level at lootup.me. So 1000 points with a 35% boost turn into 1.5 USD

I normally only use it to tick off the Daily Discover on the to-do list. I can't find LootUp on Hideout, only Lootably.

Code for 100 points: HAPPYSTREAMING

Accompanying message on Fakebook (forwarded to me) says that Hideout's now called PixelPointTV and it's "more than just a new name, it's our pledge to keep improving your video watching experience."

Okay, so it's just a new name, but thanks for the code anyway!
