Those using swagbucks ???

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

To those using Perk TV, I started getting a pop up last night that says "Are you still watching" and it won't play any videos until you click "yes" Does not bode well for over night progress.

Yikes!! Thanks for the heads up! So far I haven't seen that yet but that doesn't mean it's not coming!

Yep, just saw this on Reddit, posted from the PerkTV blog



With multiple apps and multiple ways to earn rewards, Perk aims to be the most amazing rewards program around. As you well know, you can earn Perk Points doing everything from web searches, watching videos, unlocking your phone and taking trivia quizzes and then redeem for gift cards from over 150+ top brands.

If you’ve ever wondered how Perk Points are made possible, it’s because advertisers are willing to pay for your attention. Basically, you matter. Without advertisers, Perk wouldn’t be possible. So while we do our best to make you happy with Perk, we must do the same for our advertisers too. It’s a balancing act that is one of Perk’s primary responsibilities and we are consciously adapting the rewards program to this cause. The neat thing about this is that when advertisers are happier, they are willing to pay even more for your attention – which means we can offer you more points as a result.

An example of how we are adapting the Perk program to ensure advertisers stay satisfied is the recent update to the Perk TV app ensuring that members are still engaged when watching videos in the app. Other popular video and music services like Netflix and Pandora do this too and we followed suit. It’s a small inconvenience that goes a long way in making advertisers happy and putting rewards in your pocket.

On the flip-side, Perk’s other primary responsibility is to educate advertisers on the importance and significance of our Perkstars (you!). Without happy members donning their attention, advertisers won’t have an audience to get their brands in front of (and everybody would be skipping ads on YouTube all day long or using ad blocking services). It’s our vision that smart advertisers will see Perk as an effective platform and rewarding our users as an essential component of what the future of advertising looks like.

It’s what we call The Perk Equation and we’re glad you’re a part of making Perk the only rewards program where Paying Attention Pays!

I'm glad I haven't spent money on devices yet. I may still do it, but this changes the equation

Of 4 devices running overnight last night that happened on two of them. Not sure about getting devices either but worried about my iPad and our new iPhones. I'm not worried about hubby's old iPhone. I also have an old iPhone 4 but it has iOS 5. Even with everything deleted off of it I don't have enough space to download iOS 7 to put perk and swag tv and entertain now on it.

Does anyone have a customer service contact for Swagbucks? No longer have access to the email address on my account, and cannot change to a new email address without accessing the old one. Have submitted the online help requests, however I suspect if they're responding at all it's going to the old email address. Frustrated! Thanks.

When I've contacted them through FB with my question and SwagName- they've answered me. Maybe try doing that?

I'm a newbie to swagbucks. From the little that I have looked at it, it seems like most of the points are earned by signing up for a bunch of extra emails that I don't want from other companies. Am I correct? I'm already running Perks almost all of the time and so I don't want something where I'm streaming a bunch more videos. Is there any other way on there to earn points other than signing up for emails through their partners or watching videos?

Please educate me. I like free stuff (very unique, I know )

I'm signed up for surveys with e-rewards and I've gotten to $23, but now I've stopped receiving surveys? I was really hoping to get to that $100 to be able to get 2000 points for Southwest. Any other e-rewards users not gotten surveys in several days?

Question about the goals? The more you make the day before do your goal numbers go up? Also do your bonuses go up as well? I just cashed out my 1st $50 and got a Disney card and am half way to number 2!!

There are numerous ways to earn swagbucks. If you scroll back through this thread, I'm sure you'll get some idea of how everything works. I don't think I've ever signed up for a bunch of stuff like you mentioned to earn SBs.

If you need to update to 7 just delete the necc. Apps to give you the space and then after it has loaded you can add the deleted apps back on your device. Needing the space does not mean you can't have the original apps just need a little space right now.

Like having dessert after dinner....you just need to wait awhile for the main course to settle and make a little room.

Okay, so I just watched a couple of videos clicking on Watch on their actual website (on my computer because I have Perks running on all of our iPads and iPhones), but I didn't get any points- I watched a couple of videos about the movie Th Giver.

Can you not earn points watching videos on an actual computer on their website? Or does it just take a little while for the points (or bucks) to show up in your account?

Okay- never mind on that question. I found out.

But, next question----Is there a way to keep the videos playing on an actual computer on the website? I really don't want to tie up my mobile devices....

 

[JenzyHP]

I don't know how much money you make on Perks, but I can get 50 swagbucks from SBTV in about 20 minutes of pushing replay on a 10 second video and entertaiNow 120 from a couple hours not watching it all the time. Does perks make more money than that?

There isn't a way that I know of to legally run the videos without you making them. That will get you kicked off.

Right now laptop guy is on the front page. That'll make you some swagbucks easy. Also, there is an encrave section.

Question about the goals? The more you make the day before do your goal numbers go up? Also do your bonuses go up as well?

Yes & Yes.
Your activity will effect your goal(s). The more you do, the higher the goals can be. Weekends tend to have lower goals, Thursday will have higher goals, any day that has a swagcode-athon will have a higher goal.

The higher the goal the higher the bonus.

The simple answer is no. You can play videos on your laptop but they will not run by themselves. Download the swagbucks toolabr. Click on the video link. A separate window will open to play videos nut you have to click on each video after the meter moves up.

I think I might be done with perk tv now it stops running and asks if you are watching. I will just concentrate on swag bucks

I deleted EVERYTHING off of it and it still wasn't enough room, it was only an 8gb phone. I did end up finding a way around it though... I plugged it into itunes and updated it that way - I now have perk tv, swagTV and entertain now on my old phone that had just been sitting in the drawer

Maybe someone can help me, please? I've been hearing about swagbucks for a while and finally decided to sign up. However, when I go to the website, the page will load but it goes blank immediately after that. I can't keep the home page up long enough to see anything before it just goes blank. Any one have this before?

Hmm, no that has not happened to me. Have you tried a couple of times?
If you are using someone's referral link maybe it is a dud and you need to just go straight to swagbucks.com or find a different referral link?

That's all I can think of. Hope you get it worked out. I just redeemed some bucks or $10 in Amazon cards. It isn't making me rich but I do love to get free stuff from Amazon.

I'm a Bonfire Buddy. I am about 700 points away from my first $50 Gc and have only been doing SB for about 3 weeks. I am planning on depositing the cash to PayPal and then transferring it to my bank and then buying a Disney Gc at Target with my Red Card. This was a great find and now my son's Disney spending money is free cash.

Does it get any better?!!

I'm sad entertainow is only 90 sb!
