Swagbucks 2020

Does anyone know if you can change your Swagbucks username? Doesn't seem to be an obvious way of doing it. Is the only option to delete your old account and start a new one? And would there be any potential issues with me doing that?

Have you got many SB already? Your accumulated points (even if already redeemed) are worth keeping as you go up reward levels, so personally i wouldn't delete the account unless you are very new to the siite.

Might be worth raising a ticket with Customer Services, to see whether they can change it for you.  But it could be that it is the identifier to your record in the database (rather than the record being attached to a serial number, for instance) in which case it would not be straightforward for them to alter it.  Doesn't hurt to ask, though!

Think I'll raise it, thanks. Been on it for over a decade at this point!

Unless they have changed things you cannot

"Swag Names (membership number, username) are permanent and cannot be changed once selected."

That's a long time - I'm on 8 years 😁 Manage to make £20 or so a week when I can be bothered.

My adsend media page doesnt seem to be loading (nor hideout for that matter) this morning. Hmm.

Mine is loading (in Chrome) and I have completed a Theorem Reach survey and am running Hideout.  However, none of the three Free Games under Play are loading.

Adscend fine for me in Chrome, the games are not working though.

Surveys aren't working well. I have completed two, one just now and one last night, neither credited. Tickets put in but I'm aware that they may stop crediting . Also it is harder to find a link to be able to submit a ticket, I wonder if they are trying to discourage people from doing this
