Swagbucks 2022

Beware of Survey #95700140, which purports to pay 20SB for 5 minutes. It took me over 20 minutes, and then didn't pay me! I have put in a ticket, saying I think I should have 80SB for the time I spent. It was about supermarkets, and Waitrose advertising in particular; I had never expected to be ripped off by Waitrose!

I had a short one yesterday that turned out to be about an Amazon Christmas ad that paid 12 SB (I was only looking for a screen out as a complete is no good on Mondays when a magic receipt is required for the todo list)MollyR said:Beware of Survey #95700140, which purports to pay 20SB for 5 minutes.

Customer Services credited me very quickly for that dodgy survey - but only with the 20SB, not with the 80SB I has said I thought it was worth!

There seem to be more and more surveys taking longer than suggested. One today, I never got the number of it, but Swagbucks said 10 minutes but survey when opened said around 30 minutes. I closed it.2

Actual survey sites I still use such as pinecone (£3 a time) and consumer pulse (50p per item) have been rewarding as usual - just completed a £4 survey on ylive and that took less than the 20 mins a £4 survey should be (£1 per 5 mins).Makingabobor2 said:

I can't get onto Pinecone, apparently its invitation only. Not heard of the other 2, I'll have to look them up.mjm3346 said:

I keep checking Pinecone to see if they open up registrations again but going to be a tough ask I think to get in there.1
