Swagbucks 2024.

Jack06019

I'm going to reach my present goal and then quit Swagbucks.

I had a notification from them that they had updated their T&Cs yesterday and this caught my eye, the wording in bold:

"B. Suspension or Termination of your Participation.  The Company may limit, suspend, or terminate your ability to participate in a Rewards Program, and may suspend or void any Rewards or potential Rewards you may have received or accumulated in a Rewards Program but not yet successfully redeemed, if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that you have not complied with these Terms, require an uncommon or excessive level of customer support, or otherwise are not using and receiving the Rewards Program benefits in a mutually satisfactory way consistent with the typical member. You agree to abide by the final and binding decisions of the Company regarding any Rewards Program and your participation in it. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or cancel all or a portion of a Rewards Program, including any unredeemed Rewards, at any time, without prior notice or compensation to you."

I do surveys, great when it works but I am getting so many glitches with them with a lot of work and no reward. When this happened I would contact Customer Support who would usually award me the SB for the survey. Now when I do that - crickets. 

Something has changed there, they used to be so helpful but now they would chuck me out completely if I raise concerns. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

I didn't bother to read the update as I will be finished before it comes into force but things usually are to the benefit of a  company and not the user. As for surveys with £1 for 5 mins available on some sites then SB used to need to be offering 20SB a minute to be competitive now with the increased cost of many vouchers they need to be offering 25 SB a minute - in some cases they don't even offer that per hour. They used to have mobile videos that could mostly just be left playing and bringing in £60+ a month and of course always meeting the first daily goal (1st and 2nd goals rewarded around 10%+) and getting a full month streak every month so well over 600 SB a month in bonuses for almost zero effort.
No swagcodes at the weekends now seems to be permanent despite what they claimed when the made the change - my guess is that wherever possible they now try to avoid having any staff working (and possibly getting paid more) at weekends.

Had a Userzoom survey a couple of times over the past few days for Emirate Airlines (yuck, I know but) - and it seems impossible to fill it in as no matter what options I select it wants me to correct certain questions without saying what is wrong with the answers, it just seems broken which is a shame since Userzoom are usually good, honest survey providers (perhaps it goes with the Emirates theme to be shady!)

Only got 3SB for my search again today, anyone else or am I just unlucky?

I have (snobbily) been told on here that you have to give the true answers.......

Very moral and laudable I'm sure. 

But if you get the same survey come through multiple times you're going to try to complete it aren't you.

Best of luck.

The thing is you usually contact CS because the surveys don’t pay or something in their system has gone wrong which happens a lot. 

It isn’t good is it

with the extra cost of rewards that's only worth 2.4p so a double cut

This has appeared for me the first time now today. However, the 3 SB search bill appeared at the second search.



Sitting at 150 SB just now, wanted to stop but may use the last days to try and get it up to 625 SB for a £5 Paypal reward and after that it's good bye.

Seeing on reddit people saying the search wins have dropped to 2/day instead of 3.
