gso3006 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Swagbucks used to be a great way to do interesting surveys that worked well with no issues. Now all of the sudden these last few months, I am noticing that several surveys have technical issues and I am unable to complete. I also notice that they are having much longer surveys with very few points to redeem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schludermann Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Perhaps it has something to do with this year's data breaches? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 It's been since the pandemic forced people to stay in that I noticed that the minutes per survey didn't add up with the cents being offered. I saw a dozen surveys that were like 25 minutes for 18 cents. I said no thanks. I can't make the minimum points each day, and that is ridiculous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevadaJones Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Since having had my DQ points limited, I haven't been spending as much time there. Overall, it hasn't been as good for me the last few months, but I still snag a few decent paying surveys often enough to keep me interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yes I too ConCur. It is a result of the Pestilence and Lock Down. A lot of survey provider Support Technicians are either not working too. Or, the technical services are working , but overwhelmed with too many service requests for assistance, that they aren't able to respond with help. I know this because its happened to me in the middle of almost completing a few surveys from two separate survey providing websites. I never received a technical answer, but was left with " We'll look into this matter and get back to you with an answer ", but I never heard back from them, and its been months ago. By the way has anyone had successful experience with redeeming Swag Ups cash into your PayPaL.com account from Swagbucks.Com ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle54935 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Swagbucks is hit or miss for me. I print coupons and compare price on the shopping stores they have for things that I actually need. I saved some money at Lowes by doing this by ordering a riding lawn mower and a pellet grill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that ridiculous because I have been with them for several years. I did have an issue with no points, and I sent a ticket in for it. It took some time, but they did get back to me. It might be because people are working from home, I don't know for certain. I go back to work next week and I won't be doing all of the surveys like I did for the past 5 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gso3006 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 It makes me SO mad when you click to do a quick one that says something like 9 minutes and when you get to the survey it says 25-30 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I can't get surveys through them anymore. And you are right gso3006, every day I get one that says 5 minutes and then is says 30 minutes. I noticed that this happens on mypoints as well, and I think they are owned by the same company. I am not sure if I should continue with them or give up. But what would I do with the rest of my day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 They also are being really stingy when you complete a survey and don't receive credit. I don't send tickets every time this happens but I do when I'm fed up. The last one they refused to credit so I wrote back and non politely let them know I was done with their site. I got a pretty quick response and they gave me my points. But seriously, I'm not getting rich doing their cheap surveys, why would I lie about not receiving something low like 39 sbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I don't report every non payment to them. I did that once and they were not happy with me. So sorry the survey thanks me for my time and then doesn't pay me. I had one with mypoints, a relative company to SB, and I didn't report it to them either. It's just getting old.
