They also told me a little bit about the DQ mechanisms they use --  and made it absolutely clear, that such late DQ did not come from them. it therefore had to have been done by Swagbucks. 

To me this sounds like classic affiliate link skimming. I get those DQ's too but I either just chalk it down to part of the system or avoid the survey companies I know it can happen with. Not to suggest others should ignore it, it's always better to screenshot and contact SB, I just can't be bothered dealing with their cut and paste replies that ignore the details you've already given them and their smug, standoffish attitude when contacting them, going around in circles, it's easier on my blood pressure to just accept that 1 in every 10 surveys I do will be skimmed and move on, but that's just me!

Interesting that they companies are happy with the results but SBs is blocking the points to us Bobo.  I also let the survey fails go marmalade because SBs don't like my email and won't answer any questions other than asking for a different email to be added, weird as I've been with them for years and verified my account with a postcard but I just give up trying to contact them.

Hi all. A few days ago I signed up for Swagbucks following the latest MSE email to try and build up some points for Amazon vouchers. What appears to be an easy 750pts is to do the Experian Credit Score thing however every time I try, it asks me to submit my phone number to verify my account. I do this and await a code that never arrives. Tried a few times a day for a few days now and the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a workaround or any advice? Thanks in advance.

Did you give the number with the international code (0044) and dropping the initial 0 from your number?  American firms like Swagbucks often overlook the fact that other countries are different from them!

Yeah, I’ve tried both with and without the zero as the +44 is pre-populated. It’s so frustrating cos having signed up via MSE there is an offer of a bonus 2000SB’s if you reach 1000 within 30 days!

I don't know why Martin keeps promoting Swagbucks - it is nothing like as good as it used to be, when one could really rake in the earnings.  Most of the easy ways to earn have been removed now.

Just in the few months since I signed up using Martins link I’ve noticed a decline. 

The lying times of the surveys..taking 25 to 30 when it claims 10 minutes
The constant rejection after imputing a significant amount of detail.
Userzoom surveys were always good to me but even they have kicked me off after trawling through countless screens. 

Must be better sites out there ….

Prolific.co is the best site that I use.  But it is academic studies rather than surveys, so it is very important to give fully truthful replies rather than the replies one thinks the researcher is looking for!  They have a very extensive set of profile questions which one completes at the outset, and then it is very rare to be DQed - this only happens if the reason for the DQ is something which isn't covered by a profile question.  Payment levels are good, and recently many of the studies have been rewarded immediately upon completion;  but if the researcher doesn't put through the reward within 21 days, Prolific do it themselves.  The MSE thread for it is at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5783213/prolific-academic-survey-alerts.

Search isn't working for me, neither using Edge nor Chrome (haven't tried others).

 I use Chrome by default and no results show for a web search (although they do flicking across to image or video results) but still got a search "win" on the blank page

This has now started happening to me (Chrome on Windows 7).  I have tried clearing cache and cookies, and removing the search engine as default and then defaulting to it again, but nothing works.  Have either of you any idea how to get it going again?

Suddenly this morning, for no apparent reason, the search results have started to appear again.

Fortunately still missing for me (page loads faster without them)
