Swagbucks 2025

"survey responses did not reach the quality check"

Molly's probably the expert (as she is on everything) but it could be that you were too quick ("speeding") or ticked the same box in every row ("straight lining"). Sometimes they give you a list of companies and ask which ones you are familiar with and there's a fake brand or two mixed in. Or they give you a list and ask which ones you do/eat/visit and if you tick too many ("implausibly many") they think you're lying even if you're telling the truth. Or that you did nothing wrong and they wanted to use your answers without paying you. Either way, DQing you right at the end is nasty.

Is this what happens when people get banned from taking surveys?

I'm banned from SB surveys. When I click on "answer" at the top of the page, it takes me back to the SB home page instead of taking me to the survey page. You aren't even allowed to see the list of surveys, much less take them.

I think they may have decided I took too long. Sometimes I get up for a few minutes just because I need to stretch my legs and take a break from the screen, and I suppose it may seem suspicious to them if I don't answer any questions for 3 minutes.

Maybe my own fault, but I don't think it's fair when a survey turns out to take much longer than the stated time, for them not to allow me a couple of minutes away from the screen.

Also, my daily to-do list suddenly disappeared just a few minutes ago, and now seems to have been replaced with a little star icon that says "quests" when I click on it. It says I can earn a SB for every quest I complete. Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: It is also no longer showing a daily goal. I just knew eventually they were going to get rid of monthly bonuses. This is a huge disappointment. No more monthly bonuses on the 5th. I wonder if the Yanks still have their monthly bonuses? Probably.

Anyone else's To Do List changed to Quests? I tried to load the to do list but it kept going round in circles, came out, went back in and it had changed to quests. There's only 2 - daily poll and a free SB every 6 hours. (Slow hand clap for Swagbucks 😐️)

ETA: There's no monthly streak anymore. I got up to 7 days yesterday 😠

My ToDo list (completed) and my two Daily Goals (completed) are still showing - no Quests. And if I hover over Bonus SB You've Earned This Month, the pop-up says "How Monthly Bonus SB Works / You can claim your Bonus SB on October 5 (It's always the 5th day of the following month). Don't worry - we'll alert you when it's time" - so they seem to be planning to pay it out next month. Chrome browser on Windows 11 desktop.

Mine did exactly the same but now the page is showing my daily goals again

Same as markb1972, the quest came and went and now (9:23pm) I have the daily goal back.

On the plus side, my quest said 1 free SB every 6 hours so I clicked it and got 1SB

I was so relieved that the daily bonus re-appeared. It was strange. It seemed to change to that "Quest" thing for about two hours, and there was no indication of a daily goal or monthly bonus.

I wonder if they thought about taking our monthly bonus away, and trialled it with a percentage of Swaggernauts, but then received too many complaints to keep it and switched it back because they were afraid they would loose too many people?

Lost2

is it my imagination? Have they removed the games where you earned six swag bucks a day?

My to do list has come back. No more quest. But my daily streak has gone back to zero.
