Swagbucks 2020

Just tried it and it's broken for both the button and direct. No doubt an important clue as to why some stuff's not working if anyone at SB were listening!

No surveys, no watch, first goal is 101 ~ no chance!! 

They've also reduced the EntertaiNow mobile app to 1 SB from 4 SB and the SB Mobile Watch app to 4 SB from 10 SB.

and they have increased the number of videos you have to watch especially on the main app 

Can’t say I’m hopefully of hitting April bonus! Still can’t complain at free money, I’ve had well over £1k from SB in the last 18 months

OK, perhaps try a longer direct link: https://toolbartv.swagbucks.com/video/entertainment-videos/8264/304821139

Sorry tried it again and just had to move from the first video to get the meter to show using direct

Good, glad it's working for you!

Hmmm. It keeps telling me I've watched all the videos, but the SB Meter is only at 30%. Is there anything I can do?

That's the other bit I was saying, they seem to have  reduced the number of videos, so it'll take 4 days  running it each day to get a single sb to be paid.
Sorry again MollyR, I was just trying to be helpful.

Crawled to 85 today, completely  exhausted Therm, the strategy was disqualification on the long ones though.  Was stuck on 77 and resigned to waiting for a code and/or search win later but then a short 8SB app survey came in.   Can't see me keeping this up for long.  Still have some shop points and adscend in reserve.  Think I'll be using them!

Guess this is a sign of the times Prodege's ad income must be massively reduced.

With more people at home you think they'd be going all in rather than pulling back (referring to no surveys, no/less videos, less offers, non-working parts of the site etc). Not sure it makes sense, but I guess they know their market better than me(?)

I think it may well be more to do with the fact that these are not normal times. With a worldwide pandemic, companies going to the wall/having to lay off staff etc. etc.,   advertising (which is mainly what SB reward you for) and surveys are way down on the priorities for a lot of companies. Swagbucks, much though we all grump about it, will not only have staff shortages , it will also possibly  be in danger of folding if their usual source of income is, as I suspect, massively reduced. That means more people without jobs and income to support their families.
I can grump with the best of folk about SB when things are 'normal' but in the present circumstances me not getting a couple of extra quid pales into insignificance.

I do agree that these are not normal times but this has been ongoing with SB for a number of years now. Nothing is ever increased, it's always reductions and goals being moved further and further. I'm finding the "we're here and we care" a little irritating to say the least.

I appreciate times are tough for everyone right now but I suspect that whatever happens on the other side of this SB will not revert these changes.

Struggling today, still not even halfway to the first goal. Already spent too long trying. Better to do something else, but can I say it takes my mind off the current situation a bit, so it's not all bad!
