Those using swagbucks ???

[Minniekins]

@afan Thanks for sharing! Hmm well guess I'm out of building up many SB for now since I can't do surveys, so no swago tho trying to at least get some spins. Didn't do the resolutions either cause of those darn surveys. Been doing a lot of watch videos and the apps. Trying ncrave but so many don't credit, so that wastes a lot of time. Hopefully eventually they'll get them working right at least.
Yesterday my 2nd goal went up again to 710, yet I can't even get my first goal lol, so that's confusing. Finally down to 380 today after reset, at least it's more normal even tho I won't make it lol.

Is anyone getting credit for the 1 SB discovery video (guy in the white T-shirt on the home page, says Unruly Media)?

Been trying often but never credits. Argh.

Are most able to get binocular girl to run? DD27's runs just fine and she uses chrome. I use chrome too but mine won't open for nothing and I tried another browser and my work computer and nothing there either. Wondering if it's just me for some reason.

Everyday I hope something's gonna change after reset time lol. Not yet but it'll come one day just hopefully sooner than later!

Laptop guy was back this morning. For one round. LOL

 

[grumpy28]

My PL surveys are still coming up blank. Ugh.

That happened for me too! My Kiwi offers credited but no Swago credit. I had that issue last time but at the end of the board (I didn't do much as I was really busy that week). I put in a ticket yesterday.

Yeah I can't figure out why. I thought it had to do with getting both goals with one activity somehow throwing it off, but hubby did that with a survey on the same swago I had trouble with, no problem. So since it happened again I'm down to wondering if it has to do with something crediting while I'm not active on SB, since shops credit during the day when I'm at work. If AYCE or something was around I'd leave the computer on and try to run that until the Shop credits to see what happens but not to be

I've got another shop crediting today that will meet my first goal so I'm tempted to take my laptop or my SB phone with me to work and see if I can babysit it there (work computers are all monitored, I don't like signing in from there) I'm not sure what else to do. No one ever responded to the first ticket and I'm doubting I'll get one for this ticket either. It's like pulling teeth trying to get my first goal (which hasn't happened yet this month without coupons/shop credits) let alone trying to get the 2nd one. At least it seems to be back under 300 again (although it might as well be a 1000 for how well I can get anything to work)

My new problem is in chrome it says I have an adblocker which I don’t. When I click where it tells me it opens a blank sceen. So I can get no sb in chrome. Can’t get swagasaurus run to load in edge or Firefox. And only have 1 app working. Oh and pl surveys don’t work for me either.

Today is the last day to submit your resolution if you haven't yet (like me - I'm a slacker)
I wasn't sure I wanted to commit as we leave on the 26th for WDW. But I found this on Reddit:

So here's what I found by systematically trying different combos.

The highest amount we can earn with the least effort is 949 SB using the following values:

• Total earned = 4151
• Gold Surveys = 11
• Watch = 26
• Swag Codes = 21
• SB Local = 4

If you don't want to spend any money for SB local, then the most we can earn is 549 using those same numbers.

So unless the calculate function wasn't working well when I made mine, I thought it might be slightly dependent on the account because I was getting different amounts from hubby when we played with it. I did find SB Local maxes out at 4, if I put 20 or 30 in the total didn't change. Swagcodes was only changes the total by a point or two at certain thresholds (like inputting 4-7 total didn't change, put in 8 I got an extra point) Same thing for watch, but I ended up with 30 in there I forget why. Since shop wasn't counting toward the total points, I was very conservative because I wasn't thinking the Purador would count as Discover. I only did 500 because if I changed it to 1000 or 1500 (or maybe 2000 I forget) I only got an extra 11 bonus SB. The max I could get for mine with reasonable numbers was 593, so I dropped the Total Earned back to 500 and I've got a max bonus of 582 right now.

It's just weird but I'll do it because I'm not getting any streaks from the daily goal meter this month

Does the swago bonus count towards to resolution points? How about anything we earn on spins (which is usually not much )?

Just got a whopping 6sb search win from the Daily Search link.

Also I have the Real LTG back too! Hopefully he sticks around for a while. Fake LTG sux.

For shop credits with hotels, has anyone paid in person at the hotel? Any idea on how long it takes to credit? Just wondering.

I know it says it takes longer than prepaying. I've gotten shop credits twice from prepaying, and they both credited a day or two after my stay, but I've never waited to pay in person. It's been about two weeks since our stay now, so I'm just curious.

So strange. I noticed last month my Childfund swagbucks didn't count towards my daily goal at all, which was also weird. I replied to my ticket today, just for the heck of it. Otherwise I'm hoping that my second goal will come down a little, and the 50sb Reward bee thing credits on the 13th so that should be a good jump start. Until then I've just done a few things on my account but mostly swagged on DH's account for the referral points - and I've had much better luck on his account anyways.

Me too! My last streak was in the summer or something. I've been so busy I can't even get a 7 day one. My monthly bonuses haven't even hit triple digits...

I'm pretty sure I saw a SB mod on Facebook say that Swago and the Spins would count for the resolution, but I'm not finding it quickly (i'm not a facebook person, I only check out their page on occasion since they don't always post stuff on their blog or to get the swagcode link)

We did two stays out of 3 through SB on our labor day trip. The one at Marriott was weird, but it a good way. We booked the 3rd leg through the Marriott site about a month before so it was just a normal reservation with no deposit. I'm sure this was a fluke but we got credited the SB before we even checked in! We did it through hubby's SB account and he never checks the Shop activity so we didn't know it went to pending almost immediately so we got the SB before we even spent the money. (we still did, obviously, but odd)
I booked the first leg through IHG site a couple weeks before the trip and it seems like it would go more normal. We booked 2 rooms and SB showed the total value of both rooms with the 0sb pending until almost a week after check out. Then it filled in the earned SB and started the 31 day pending clock but somehow only picked up one room, so it lowered the value and the SB earned. They did give me the points quickly for the missing room when I put in a ticket.

So I'm not sure how long it would normally take, I would guess it depends on how fast the hotel acknowledges its commissions.

Did we ever determine for sure if SBTV or the apps would count for Watch credits for the resolution?

The FAQs said "App video playlists will count towards the goal you set however, video views from the SwagButton will not." so is SBTV the swagbutton? I did read either on the blog or facebook that the apps count - Watch and Mobile Watch activities in the ledger are supposed to count for this.

I think you can do watch from the swagbutton, but I just use the apps on my phone. Thanks!

I saw that, too.

I wasn't using Swagbucks as much over the holidays, so when I did my resolution I picked pretty low goals. Now I'm regretting it, I definitely could have hit higher goals and gotten a bigger bonus. Oh well.

Does anyone know if surveys from the Answer app (or even Peanut Lab) will count toward the "Gold surveys" for the resolution?

 

[afan]

My new problem is in chrome it says I have an adblocker which I don’t. When I click where it tells me it opens a blank sceen. So I can get no sb in chrome. Can’t get swagasaurus run to load in edge or Firefox. And only have 1 app working. Oh and pl surveys don’t work for me either.

I use chrome and can't get swagasaurus to credit any more so I gave up. I did complete a pl survey this morning in chrome so no idea why they aren't working for some.

Does anyone know if surveys from the Answer app (or even Peanut Lab) will count toward the "Gold surveys" for the resolution?

I would think the app would because those are the same good surveys as through the site. I wouldn't think pl would. You can tell the difference on your activity log.

 

[Jen and Ashwin]

So I just did my resolution thing yesterday before it ended. Do the activities that I did before I submitted the board count towards this month or just everything that I do after it?

An Admin on the Facebook page stated it would count from the 1st of the month no matter when you submit.
