    I often wonder what cut Swagbucks get for completed surveys. I’m convinced they have lowered payments across the board so I assume a bigger cut for them. Ive noticed a lot of the UserZoom ones have been paying 20sb instead of the usual 100 ..so are Swagbucks skimming off the rest….

    I have seen some surveys where Swagbucks definitely pay less than 10% compared to going direct to the survey site - I assume from how low the rewards are that also applies to most of the other surveys they host so Swagbucks would be taking  90% plus.
    This morning I completed a Userzoom survey for 158SB - and then within ten minutes was offered the same survey direct from Userzoom (I am a member) for 5USD.  So that's approximately £1.50 versus £4.

    How do you become a member of UserZoom? I could already be one for all I know.

    A bit off topic.
    I signed up to curious cat a couple of weeks ago, made a few pounds but nothing exciting. 

    Now I’m finding that the surveys on offer are 8, 10 or 12p ones..most for surveys lasting 25 to 35 minutes 😆
    Its obvious that these survey sites, I’m sure Swagbucks are the same, restrict you pretty quickly. Who on earth is going to do a survey lasting 30 minutes for 8p 🤯

    I wonder if not using the site for a few weeks it will reset itself 🤔
    Rant over..just annoying.

    Curious Cat is a curious case 🤔

    Sometimes you can build up a little stash quite quickly, however they do randomly restrict you withdrawing funds.

    When I read their explanation it tried to say that the more dqs you have the likelier it is that restrictions will kick in (bunkum).

    So why after a run of successful surveys they've done it to me again I don't know.



    But no way are the 8/10p surveys worth it, leave those well alone.

    Glad it’s not just me 😬

    So have you noticed after a few days that it returns to ‘normal’ ? Or is it restricted for a long time.

    That must be some mark up for curious cat only paying out 8p for a 30 minute survey 😃

    Its happened to me twice, on the first occasion I seem to remember the 'due date' kept moving on a week so I didn't do any more surveys, thought why bother.

    Think it went something like 8th Jan, then 15th Jan, then 22nd etc.

    Then it suddenly became available again so I took the money out immediately.

    I do think its a bit random tbh (now for instance it has 1st May as my due date?!) but maybe there is method in their madness who knows.

    I'm still getting the 5 x 1 sb but am finding that it's more random than it was.

    I don't think I've ever had a duplication, which is good but have wondered if it happens because one would logically think it would.

    I hit my record with them this week when they paid $150 for a 1-hour interview.  Think I was lucky that I met the demographic and had knowledge of the subject.  I'm not expecting to ever repeat the experience.

    This morning I completed an Intellizoom (Userzoom direct) survey for 1USD (around 80p), and this afternoon I was offered the same survey on Swagbucks for 100SB (£1).  So in this case Swagbucks paid better than Intellizoom!
