Those using swagbucks ???

[Iowajes]

Ok. I guess I will just start doing some random searching. I did get one of the phrases to work.

Are you confusing searching with swagcodes?

Swagcodes get entered on the website and are valid for only a limited time. Searching awards points randomly- there are no specific phrases to search.

No, I understand what swag codes are. Someone posted they entered vertosmart in a search and got SB and so I tried it and I did too. Must have just been a coincidence

In the search box you can sometimes get extra points for searching, it's totally random. I just use it when I'm looking something up and will get search points from time to time.

According to Swagbucks Facebook and the Swagbucks subreddit, that the annual purge is taking place right now. Wonder what is going on.

--------
Anyone here use Mturk via Amazon? A student worker has been telling me about it and finally decided to give it a shot tonight (after being approved by Amazon to join). He told me it is slow going for new users at first, but once you get a good approval rating it opens up more. Anyway, made $0.53 in about 15 minutes, which is better than Swagbucks earned time. He showed me his account and he earns $3-5 a day in about an hours time.

Does this purge happen every year? Why are people getting purged? I do try and follow all the rules. Is there something they are doing to get their accounts deactivated?

They are messing with the watch lists again. Sports is gone and News has only 3 lists and only one is for 2sb. Hopefully they'll be back by the weekend because I still use those to get to my 2nd goal on the weekends and my personal goal during the week.

Sometimes Swagbucks will ban a big group at one time. Is is yearly? It can be, they ban daily. People will cheat (using bots or VPNs). You can get banned from not doing enough Swagbucks per day to keep your account viable to them (what this amount is they don't say). They can ban you because they fell like it.

Seems like this time it might have been a computer error because now people are saying they can use the accounts again, which normally never happens.

Surprised they do it for inactivity. My account wasn't active for almost 2 years and before that 2 years and then a year. I'm only looking at giftcards I redeemed from when I originally started in 2010. It didn't seem worth it until I started reading this thread and learned the tricks, of course having a smart phone helps too. I think in those times I may have redeemed for birthday bonuses or something once a year or so but that's it.

It was a glitch today. Most of the people that commented about being deactivated commented later saying their account was back.

That is where I don't see how they pick accounts being inactive. Yours wasn't active for close to 2 years. They did nothing. My sister didn't touch her account for 4ish months for whatever reason. Banned. I highly doubt they have a system, they seem to just pick and choose.

Little to do today. No nCraves, no TTG or LTG, didn't qualify for any surveys. I am getting bonus rounds of sbtv. I hit my first goal and think I'm done for the day. Not worth the additional effort.

 

[DIS_MERI]

Looks like nCraves are going to be rough today. I only had 3 to choose from to start, and then 3 autoruns Usually pickings aren't this slim until 10pm or later.

I had no auto runs. And the first one I clicked on opened (one where you had to View different pages) and before l did anything a message popped up telling me to slow down???

I get that message sometimes. I know it isn't that I am clicking too quickly. I just wait a few seconds and it is fine. Of course, sometimes it opens and says it has reported my issue with the content, and I didn't go anywhere near the "report content" part.

I was also pretty inactive for a long time, but thank goodness my account is still good.

No nCrave for me either or TTG, but I was able to do LTG this morning.

 

[Marionnette]

Pretty rough day. Slim picking in the nCrave. nGage is there for me, but I only got a couple of rounds at 3 pts. and now I'm running the 2-pointer. A lot of the watch videos are gone. And the apps keep crashing on me. I'll probably limp my way to the first goal and then give up for the day unless things improve in the next hour or so.

 

[afan]

Nothing here, just 3 ncraves even after running one. I like to get two of the 4sb done before I leave for work and come back to far fewer. Bonus on sbtv but the 2nd or 3rd rd was over 30 so I moved on to others and will go back to it later. Didn't qualify for any survey's. Yesterday was a good day considering how it had been lately, actually got some surveys. Oh well.

ETA - After I finished the 2nd list ncrave I got 4 of the autoruns, two 3sb, one 2sb and one 1sb. Better than nothing but not much to run in the next 25 min.

 

[DisneyMandC]

Yup, I've hit some SBTV bonus rounds so hoping those last for a while. I was hoping for an easy earning day since I know I'll be busy at work, but I guess I'll just hope for a lot of bonus rounds.
