Siegfried 7 Report post Posted October 19 New in the last few days, Swagbucks has stopped paying 1SB, less than a cent in real money, for survey links tried and not qualified for. Peanut labs there still dole out the 1 SB but the gold surveys just say 'tough luck'. What puzzles me is why adopt such a mean policy to save such a trivial amount ( I can usually get 800 SB per week) but if I am typical, ticks off users big time. Totally trivial but that minute reward in the dollar per hour or less world of survey monkeys was actually a far bigger mental reward than a monetary one. You got thrown a bone even if it had no meat on it. What kind of person says 'If we do this we can save up to a dime a day per user!' 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NevadaJones 857 Report post Posted October 19 I've read a lot elsewhere about folks being limited to the 5 DQ points/day. Also have read about people not being limited at all. Who knows the criteria? So far, no limit for me though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosiesmom 513 Report post Posted October 19 I am dq'd most of the time and about half of the time I don't get the 1 point. I always get shut off at 5 for the day though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnleona 83 Report post Posted October 20 I was wondering why I was not getting more points. After about 15 tries on the surveys and no points, I quit trying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NevadaJones 857 Report post Posted November 3 Just now discovered I'm also suddenly being limited to 5 DQ points/day. This after finishing a 15-minute survey and getting the "Not every survey can be a winner" BS. Looks like both my best sites, One Opinion and Swagbucks, are going to crap now. Will just have to move on to spend more time at other more reliable sites in order to compensate. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosiesmom 513 Report post Posted November 11 I was on SB the other day and I got a 5 point dq, and then two 1 point dq's. So that was 7 points for the day. BUT, I don't always get points for dq'ing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ksedwar 133 Report post Posted November 11 For about a month I think they experimented with higher DQ points depending on how far you got into the survey. The highest I got was 10sb but it was for putting like 10 minutes into a survey before DQ. Now they seem to be back to only 1 point with 5 points max. It was nice while it lasted. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zulu1690 8 Report post Posted November 27 Don't know about DQ points but Branded are wasting their time sending emails out for 20 points for a 30 minute survey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was getting between 5 and 10 SB for disqualification and now it is just max 5 SB for the day. Who knows what is going on 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yobry1 12 Report post Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM I quit SBs last yr bcoz it takes so long to earn points compared to Inboxdollars and bing rewards. I cash out a $5 starbucks card every 4-6 weeks with bing rewards, takes well over 2mths to do that with SBs bcoz you spend 3-4x more time trying to earn with SB's than you do with bing rewards and you don't have to waste your time with low paying surveys with SBs compared to other panels that pay more for the same survey. I do the bing daily activities first thing when i go online, set your default search engine to bing, after you've signed into your acct clk the the rewards icon, takes you to activities page that takes less than 5mins to complete all of them. You earn 30-110 points per day with activities and 5pts with every search(beats having to reword your search several times trying to earn swagbux points). 5250pts to cashout for a $5 gc. If you wanna earn points for shopping, use a cashback website which equals to about the same in swagbux as you'd get cashback from a cb website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
