Swagbucks 2022
Comments

Swagbucks generally do not create and run their own surveys and many of them then route through to other sites which do not run their own either (some go to yet other sites that do the same) with so many sites getting a slice of the payment from the same survey it's no wonder swagbucks pay so very poorly for surveys (sometimes less than 10% of what can be earned direct from an actual survey site) other than occasionally looking for a DQ I don't normally touch them but one I saw last week was paying the equivalent of just over 22p (29SB) and a similar survey would have paid £3 direct from Pinecone.eleanor73 said:
Thank you. I will try that. I know there are other survey sites but had got into a little routine with swagbucks. Will message them now.marmaladeatkins said:
Send them a polite message and they will usually give you a "second chance" - I think many of us have had this happen before with no real reason. Of course they will never tell you which survey was the culprit, because it's B.S. Personally I think sometimes they just press the button on a bunch of people who've been with the site for a while. Market researchers probably want new blood.eleanor73 said:Hi, I thought I'd post just in case this has happened to anyone else. They've restricted my surveys due to 'responses not being provided as directed or are inconsistent with previous responses'. I'm quite sad as I have never purposely messed them around. Obviously i might have at some point accidentally pressed something wrong but I hope they actually bother to check previous surveys and will see I'm quite thorough. I've had to put in a few tickets recently for not getting paid but they've been really responsive. Any ideas? Should I contact them?
They also outright lie - looking last week nearly every survey on offer (with the time and reward stated) took me to other sites that wanted info to "find" me a survey despite SBs already having offered one
25 SB a minute (assuming they always paid without any issues) would compare with the better sites3 -
Thank you. Yes I probably should just find another survey site rather than mourning swagbucks!mjm3346 said:

I thought I'd do an experiment for April regarding surveys as I felt that I never qualified for that many and kept getting completed but not paid for ones too. So for April I started 309 surveys, credited for 105, DQ for 201 and completed but not paid for 3. Most of these are Swagbucks but there are some for other survey sites.

I have very nearly completed the Clash of Cultures offer, at the time it was for 1500sb now it’s 1000sb. The offer gives 30 days to get to Egyptian Diplomacy stage but I managed it in 8 days, the first day I spent a few hours on it to get it going, but it’s a pretty easy game.To get anywhere you will need to watch a load of adverts though, but as offers go it’s definitely easy to do within the time constraints.Debt Free - done

I just completed Grand Harvest Solitaire. Again watched a lot of ads to build up crop, and made sure to log on hourly to get extra harvests.1 -
I think that this is easily doable without spending money or rushing too much, but I would suggest spending a lot of time in the first few hours. The Harry Potter one was easily achievable as well.
I would take a screenshot of the offer link when you initially sign up in case it changes and a screenshot the second you hit the required target.
before this one I did Bermuda Adventures and that was quite close to do within the time limits for me, but that was mainly because I struggled to get the app to work and it didn’t track so I had to submit evidence of completionDebt Free - done

I’m doing clash of the cultures. They have an event on so getting through it quicker. It guides you through the game and I picked it up quite quickly. 1/2 way to go and only started it 2pm yesterday. Not constantly playing. Just dipping in and out every couple of hours to pull crops and use the research positionsbigwill2k said:hello anyone got any good game recomendations for the weekend?
