    I saw a survey review once where the guy was saying he got his account closed due to different phrasing of questions producing different answers.

    Perhaps asking Swagbucks for an explanation will give an opportunity to clear things up, not that asking them for anything is ever a pleasant task?

    I disagree, I've been on SB since 2012 and I don't lie in my survey answers. I'm childless and not in a high-powered job and I get loads of surveys. Enough to make my first target anyway, I'm not greedy.

    If you try to push hard on SB it will backfire on you - you can't do all the surveys every day. Do 1 or 2 and leave yourself some for the next day, and the day after that. Or, you'll be lying to get surveys and they WILL find out.

    There will always be slow days, mostly Sundays and after holidays or bank holidays. That's just life, then you either forgo first target or slog it out on the apps and offers. As you can see from my signature, I've made over £2K from SB and the majority of that is from surveys. I don't waste my time on other aspects of the site, as the pay off is too poor.

    I don't push it hard, I aim for first goal as a minumum as then leave it for the day. I do actually have a good job so that bit isn't a lie but I do answer that I have kids as lots of surveys want kids to answer questions. Sundays are a pain in the butt! :(

    The vast majority of the surveys are not worth the bother compared with doing them direct, without even counting the fail to pays and screenouts when almost complete.

    Swagbucks has paid me about £800, top earners are Mobilewatch/Toolbar tv with £210, survey completes £160 searching £100, monthly bonuses/spin and wins £95, ncrave £65 and bits from games, swagcodes, discover etc.

    I also have around £4,000 from survey sites directly and nearly £19,000 from competition wins, I haven't been doing swagbucks as long but it's going to have to go some to catch up.

    EngagemeTV has now stopped working for me, it keeps resetting itself to 1 of 6 and even if it makes it to anything above 8 on the right counter it doesn't credit. Tripping also didn't credit today nor tick the box. :(

    I got tripping to credit yesterday, but my engagemetv is doing the same as yours. I tried different categories as well

    There's a shoes one on the home page. It's for 1015SB but it's 15SB for answering a very short quiz on their site and 1000SB for buying the shoes. I really don't recommend buying the shoes as it is a subscription thing but the quiz is very fast, free and pays immediately. You do have to put in an email address and maybe another few details but you don't need to be able to confirm any of it.

    Just completed JustFab shoes and yes, it is easy and credits 15SB immediately.
    Thank you. I didn't even need to tick off discover today, just thought I would complete it incase it disappears.
