Has anyone else lost the  2SB's for recipts? I had been scanning receipts on the app but can longer find it either on the app or the desktop. My partner who rarely does Swagbucks still has it on his app. I wonder if I've been banned from submitting receipts?

It’s still there just harder to notice as it’s not in the blue flash across the screen anymore. Click on answer and it will take you to your gold survey page. It’s there just above your first survey, black text with a one of these >

was swagbucks better before covid 19? like been on it a week i just feel its alot of effort for not much reward.

No, it's been like this for months now  

COVID has been going for months now. 
Yes, there's been a general consensus on the forum that COVID has meant less surveys and offers, plus they've also removed Watch/the video apps in this time. However, generally most people would also acknowledge that swagbucks can be difficult for newbies until you get the hang of recognising what is worth your time and what isn't. The guide in the first post is helpful

I dunno im seeing people only getting £10 a month of it, doesnt seem worth the effort and most of the surveys boot me out after 15 mins time investment.

Many of the surveys are not worth the bother as swagbucks frequently pay less than 10% of the possible value - £1 for 5 mins on the good sites works out to almost 29 SB a minute - a figure swagbucks often offer for a supposed 10 minute survey.

The good days are gone (£60 to £80 a month sometimes more) and they were even before Covid - some of the things that have been cut.
With very little effort Mobile watch alone could pay over £30 a month (it was slashed pre-covid and now is almost nothing and for more effort), search wins were more frequent and could be worth up to 100 SB each, (they are rarely out of single figures these days and I cannot remember the last time I had even a 30 SB win), Toolbar TV paid 3 SB per 10 clips so about 30 SB a day - even before Covid this had dropped to about 1 SB for 20 + clips and with far fewer clips available. Desktop watch has also been slashed, there was generally a code day once a month worth 30-35 SB that rarely happens now, the iSpy format has been changed and pays in a month what it used to pay weekly, the monthly main swago board used to pay 125 for 2nd now pays 50,  Spin and Win an extra that went with swago has gone as a regular feature - with prizes including survey and search win doubles as well as bucks this could be worth 100 plus bucks) - and just to enhance the effect of cutting the rewards the vouchers  although still "on offer" are on less of an offer so cost more  than they did (620 for a £5 amazon voucher now 700).
Swag games remain untouched for now at 10 SB a day for almost zero effort = just over £25 a year - other bits like daily poll, surveys dqs, a partial to do list etc could add another £25

I've been with Swagbucks for years and it definitely has gone downhill in the last year or so.  But, like a mug I still do it!!  I'm lucky if I manage to get £300 a year out of them. x

Hi all,

could anyone please kindly advice if there is any easy way to complete to "Daily Discovery" task in the To Do list? Many thanks,

I usually find the quickest way is to go into Adgate media and attempt one of their surveys. They often disqualify you and at the moment, they have double points, so give you 2SB for a disqualification instead of 1. If you do qualify for the surveys, they pay slightly better than some of the gold ones do as well.

Thank you sexmouse. I always try the Revenue Universe survey but a disqualified survey is never considered as a completion of the task. I will try Adgate media today.

Go the the purple speech bubble under Revenue Universe. You get a point for disqualification (happens a lot) and these count as completion of task. Don't try to complete the high value surveys unless you are desperate as they are not good value - it's all about disqualifications  - normally pick up at least 5 sb through this each day.
