Swagbucks 2020

What's the reasoning behind them changing instant surveys to be mobile only I wonder?
It seems like 99.8% of surveys REALLY want you to be desktop/latop so changing instant surveys to mobile only seems really strange. It seems part of a bigger change at the same time, like when the new games came in to effect - I guess they're side-stepping flash and browser plugins or something, and as a result they on purpose or accidentally made instant surveys mobile only? It's weird!

My guess is, it's not intentional. I think they've made some changes, broken it and don't even know. 

They don't seem to test anything before they release it (or their testers are utterly incompetent) and there's a long history of them breaking things with poorly written updates. The mobile apps were always a mess after an update

It is not even true mobile as they don't come on the apps as far as I can see  - only on the browser web version. There must be some technical issue as to why they don't work on desktop  - the link seems to be dead when you hover over it on desktop

I just found another instant that did click and I swear it said it was for 120SB. Although my eyes are tired and I may have been deceived! It was a question about purchases from New Look.  Unfortunately, it didn't credit!! Or at least not yet.  Might be worth checking out though as it was only one question.

I agree that it's a technical error. I think things are intended to work, they just don't.  I can't imagine they want a flurry of complaints.

Looks like I was wrong about the Swagbucks Day switching back to 8am this morning - it still switched at 7am.

ToDo bonuses 2 and 6 SB.

Looks like you got it right - it was just the who's ahead of who bit, their Daylight Saving Time ended 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. Whenever that was it seems we are back to an 8am reset.

And what I forgot is that our 8am is their midnight, which is why the Swagbucks Day resets then - but at midnight on the 1st their clocks were still two hours from going back!  Hopefully, I'll get it right in the spring.

Shame you'll have to wait till then and can't turn the clock back now.

MollyR

I'd rather turn the clock forward to then - we might be out of lockdown again!

I had it too but I don’t know if it didn’t credit or if I was screened out. I thought you didn’t get screened out for instants?

I didn't think they DQ'd instants and I don't think I was as I had the normal screen afterwards.  My guess is it just failed to credit. Another Swagbucks error?!
