Instant 38sb, this summer, go to via a mobile browser

Since instant surveys count as Gold surveys and tick off the To-Do list, I guess they might also tick the Swago box.  (I can't tell myself, since I completed one earlier today.)

ToDo bonuses today 3SB and 7SB, by the way.

There’s no way I will get the second place swago. I can’t get a single survey this week.

Hey all, I've rejoined SB after a number of years. Before there were videos that you play 10 and got 3sb (or something like that). Has this been stopped now? I can't find a video section but that was my main way of earning before.

Also, what else would you say has changed in the last few years? It seems completely different now.

Maybe that was swagbutton videos - from the original 10 videos for 3 SB they then in stages moved out to 105 videos for 3 SB (paid at 35 for 1 SB) and possibly worse before they stopped completely.
The mobile video apps dropped in stages from 140+ SB per day down to nothing last time I looked.
The page with sets of videos required more to be watched for less reward then went completely
Most surveys pay less than the already low rate they previously offered.
Many of the "leave it running" things have gone and many rewards now cost more (higher "sale" prices rather than the basic price changing)
Search wins are fewer and pay much less per win.
The monthly code day became less regular before stopping. 
(most of the changes were pre-covid)
You can upload some shopping receipts for 2 SB each - but they are usually now a requirement to complete both monthly swagos so if you don't do them you cannot get full boards

Well that's a bit rubbish. I was kinda banking on the "leave it running" things whilst getting on with work. I've started using Bing for searches (and InboxPounds), at least with them you know you'll get the return. I like playing the free games anyway and can do a couple surveys but I don't really want to be signing up/installing anything. Oh well, I have a feeling I probably wont stick with SB too long.

They don't, well at least it didn't for me

I cashed in my swago board last night due to being banned from gold surveys and unable to add a receipt as well.  Then this morning I woke up to find I can now do Gold surveys again?!

I'm not quite sure what it means for SBs, I think it was just mentioned as one of this type of companies and I do not read it as being wound up.  I think we all know that we never have any legal right to get our money out of these companies if they go bad so we are always advised to cash out as soon as possible to reduce risk.  Interesting thanks for posting the link, I stopped using InboxPounds some years ago.

No idea why the other companies are mentioned or what this has to do with losing money

Inboxpounds had a turnover of just under £1,300,000 shown on their last accounts and made a profit, the strike off only applies to solvent companies so no one should be owed money
"The process of dissolving a company is only available to companies that are solvent."

By comparison " Prodege" the company behind swagbucks recently had a turnover in excess of $75,000,000

I think the other companies were mentioned as the have a similar operation and are USA based. I have £12 with InboxPounds, so hopefully they stay long enough to get to £20 and cashout but I doubt it. At least it's not a huge amount, I lost more when Zeek shut down

Were the last accounts the latest due?  Had the confirmation statement been filed in a timely fashion?  I suppose they might be struck off for a corporate governance matter.
