Those using swagbucks ???

[afan]

Yeah I think it's their error becuase I just let them play on their own. I leave the volume on low and usually just read while it plays. Since they're so slow I only do it once for the to-do list "watch".

If you run the apps at all they will count for the daily watch. And the way I know that ayce is an ncrave, which I just realized, is it ticks off my daily crave and has been since I started using it. So if it runs past the reset it's already checked.

So hubby never got a response on the first ticket he submitted the same day you were both deactivated. Couple days ago he created a new ticket and then messaged them through fb asking for an update. They finally replied a little bit ago with the same canned response that it was deactivated due to video violations.

But we don't know what it was he did because he didn't do any of the stuff they listed nor did he even run multiple tabs or browsers. In the very first couple days after he created the account, he did have two browser windows open side by side with different videos and he got a message that he was watching videos too fast. So, thanks for the warning, and ever since he's made sure that only one tab/window was open... even the couple times when the videos locked up his system and it rebooted, one time firefox restored the tabs and somehow the videos restarted by themselves, BUT somehow opened a second window. He made sure to close both down, waited, and then relogged into the account to try again.

So he responded back like RedHotMama that he didn't do anything listed and if anything did happen it certainly wasn't intentional. He did other earning activities and would like to continue, could they please tell him what it was he did wrong so he can avoid it in the future and reactivate the account to pursue the other activities? So we'll see what happens.

Still very shocked/disbelief about the number of people who post on the SB site and on the SB facebook page about running multiple tabs AND THEN going to sleep! or work! or anywhere but in front of the PC! and they're still going but they shut down an account that was only open 3 weeks for video violation. It says you can earn up to 500 SB per day watching videos but individually we never got near that. I think the best was 2 hundred something from nCrave and videos in a day, the rest of the points was all from surveys or offers or buying giftcards. Mathematically we couldn't really figure out how to get 500 points without doing something that could seemingly violate the TOS. It was easy enough to earn as a newbie that we weren't going to be greedy and try anything that might seem shady so we were happy with a hundred or two video points in a day. I'd be ok if they could reactivate his account and somehow disable the video access, just so he could get my referral points and do the other surveys and offers. Fingers crossed...

There are sooo many things that users do to bypass the rules (not saying that your husband was), that Swagbucks has really been cracking down on things the past few months. A lot of people have gotten the accounts deactivated when they weren't violating TOS and the reoccurring theme seems to be that it was people in the same house, oftentimes when one had referred the other that one of the accounts is deactivated. Even though there is nothing in the TOS that states you can't have more than one account per household, it seems they are quick to assume that those accounts are being used by the same person (which would be a violation), even if they are actually being used by separate people. If both of you are logged into Swagbucks at the same time, whether it be on the same device, different browser, or completely different devices, and both watching videos, if you are under the same IP address, it will likely flag it in their system that multiple videos are being watched at the same time from the same IP address. In this case, you likely wouldn't receive any warning and everything would credit since you are actually using two separate accounts, but most likely in their system it just pops up that multiple videos were being accessed under the same IP address at the same time and they assume the same person is watching them. If you are using the same device and different browsers, the IP address would be the same. For different devices, the IP address may change if you are using different internet connections (ie one under your home's wifi and the other under your phone's data plan or someone else's wifi).

If it's possible that you and your husband were both running videos in separate accounts at the same time and Swagbucks gives him trouble reactivating his account, I would recommend sending a reply email explaining that there are two different accounts in the house that share the same internet connection, but you are two separate people. I have seen posted on reddit about people having this issue and after explaining it to Swagbucks (and sometimes offering some sort of proof that they are separate people, such as copies of licenses showing name and address), they have had luck getting their accounts reactivated.

This may not be what your particular issue is, but in case it helps, I just thought I'd share.

ME!

I won, too! My husband got 2nd place.

Yeah it's a "bonus rebate". Says it expires Jul 1 so the next time you redeem for a gift card they'll give you the 10SB back. (whoopiee right)

If it expires July 1st we'll be able to get our rebate when we redeem for our July 2200 $25 gc. Perfect.

I'd be ok if they could reactivate his account and somehow disable the video access, just so he could get my referral points and do the other surveys and offers. Fingers crossed...

They should reactivate him including video use. Sounds like he really was trying to follow the rules. I would email them again being honest that at first he did try 2 video tabs, but got an error and stopped immediately. And tell him he's been very careful not to let that happen again. I think they'll appreciate the honesty and set him up full swing again.

I just use my normal email but I use unroll.me to unsubscribe from the spam it sends.

What is unroll.me? I use several emails now to try to keeps things separated out, but it's really too late, I get a ton of junk email at my regular email address!

Do these types of offers go away quickly? Id rather do it tomorrow so I can meet my daily goal easily, today i already met it.

Usually they seem to stick around at least a few days. I like to wait and see what others are saying about them crediting and stuff if I can.

Hey everyone! Returning after taking a few months off b/c I am now planning not 1 but 3 more trips to Disney (2 to wDW and 1 to DL). Logged back into SB and completed the $1 razor promotion. Anyone know when I get my 600SB credit? Thanks everyone!

Ha, same for me too, lol. I'm planning for 3 trips, WDW in Aug and then short trip in Nov, and then at least DL next Aug! Good luck!

Ah okay that make sense! I don't do any of the shopping or anything you have to pay for, that defeats the purpose of swagbucks for me personally.

3 SB. I've ran it over 30 times

This is great and I'd never have looked at it so thx for the heads up! Got about 250 SB's from this before reset. Great, but was just 10 SB's short of 2nd goal, lol! But, great find so thx for sharing! Mostly did this, with a few rounds of the telemundo one thrown in for 6 sb but this one went faster so added up quicker!

they always put me on the losing team

Ha, me too most of the time, ugh! I think once I was on a winning team and once on the middle team, but otherwise usually get a big 10 Swag up! And it's funny, I like the challenges and especially the comment section where we can talk to each, but it's funny when everyone urges all to push harder and all for the team to win the challenge, do things for the challenge to get points for the group even,when all we are fighting for is - fifty to sixty cents/SB's, which really isn't all that difficult to get compare to all the swagging we do regularly! Just had to laugh at myself and all of us, lol.

I have to say I used to think this but, I look at it a little differently now. Such as, if the deal is actually a money maker deal. So, for example I did the Gamefly offer when it was for 2500 SB's. Paid $10 to get the acct for like 2 months, and it would charge me if I stayed in the program monthly after that. But, I will cancel near the end of that time, which from researching an reading other swaggers, is easy enough to do. So I gave them $10 and in return they give me $2500 SB's = $25. I can take the 2500 SB's and redeem for the Paypal option where I'll get $2500 into my paypal acct. Then I can take that original $10 investment and put that back in the bank and take the extra $15 that I made on the deal and put that in my Disney stash to buy my Disney gift cards! It's like I give them $10, they give me $25 and that seems like a good deal and I don't lose anything, just more than doubled my investment! I havne't done any deals where it's pay $30 get 3000 SB's, that does pretty much defeat the purpose of getting the free money/gc's, but when I make money and have more than I invested it works great! About a month ago I spent $19 on three different deals but I end up with $48 back in SB's, so I made $29 on that investment and in the end wasn't out any money, just had $29 more Disney dollars! That was fun! Anyway, just another way to look at it.

https://unroll.me/ Is a free app/website that will condense all your daily emails you get into one email called a "rollup" and you can choose what time of day you get it. You also have the choice of leaving important emails in your inbox, for example I don't "rollup" emails from my bank, they go directly to me.

It also helps you easily unsubscribe from anything you don't want to email you anymore. It's really handy for stuff like swagbucks where you give your email for points but don't want to be harassed.

I should have clarified, I'm unemployed so I don't have extra money to spend on any of the deals whatsoever. My husband is employed but a recent graduate looking for his "real job". Swagbucks is essentially helping us get groceries and other necessities so we can still pay the bills. I appreciate your insight though!

Wow, thanks for sharing this. Today it is worth 4 SB per round, and it goes super quick. It does have to be restarted between rounds, but that's a very small inconvenience for such quick easy SBs. As someone else said, I would have probably never tried this one if you hadn't mentioned it.

Thanks, this is exactly what I'm thinking happened. We checked the TOS to make sure referring someone in your household didn't violate before I accepted the referral. We have just a regular residential internet service without any special options so all our devices show the same public IP. If we don't get a good response back on this last request that is what I was going to tell them cuz that's the last thing I could think of that could have triggered it. Good to hear others have been able to be reactivated if that's the case. Thanks!

Okay guys how do you complete a Lifescripts offer?

The way to get these to credit is to clear cookies/browsing data before doing it and to use a new email for each one. It's a total pain and sometimes even then it doesn't credit. I used to get them all the time, but I rarely do them anymore

I'm fairly certain swag ups are not good on the stated expiration date. If IIRC you have to use it the day before. This happened to me last year with my bday swag up. I tried to redeem it on the expiration date, but it already said it was expired. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

I am having a problem with there being no videos for me to watch under the watch setting. It says Oops looks like its gotten away. This has been going on for many months. The videos on my phone are able to play just none on the computer. Is anyone else experiencing this ? Is there any way to fix this?

Excellent, TY! Easy as the one that used to be around for the 5 SB for the pretzel coupon, but twice as many SB's! Hope it sticks around a while, I was able to get the pretzel coupon/SB's a number of times!

I am having a problem with there being no videos for me to watch under the watch setting. It says Oops looks like its gotten away. This has been going on for many months. The videos on my phone are able to play just none on the computer. Is anyone else experiencing this ? Is there any way to fix this?

I've found I only have videos under the watch section when I have ncraves available, same for the sponsored video page - only maybe LTG guy works, the others don't credit if when I run them. When my ncrave page says nothing is available try later, or when the ngage girl is there only, then my watch videos show that page you are talking about - oops looks like its gotten away. This is pretty frustrating but only going on in the last maybe 6 weeks. Ngage girl never works, I know others said theirs works but so far she always says it's unavailable. Sorry I know of no way to fix it, unfortunately. Is it the same on any computer you try, or have you tried another computer? Sometimes mine won't work at home but work okay at work, luckily so that helps.
