Those using swagbucks ???

[lilclerk]

The iOS apps still have favorites and get bonuses (iPhone does anyway, not sure about iPad versions.)
The newest versions of the Android apps don't have favorites anymore, but can get bonuses.

If you know how to side-load an .apk of an app to your Android phone, you can dig around online and find an old version of the Swagbucks apps that still have favorites, but they do not get bonuses.
Swagbucks said they'll update the apps to include favorites again this month, but um... well July is almost over, so I am not holding my breath.

Perk only has apps for iOS and android. No Windows-based apps.

I have a variety of old phones and iPod Touches running the apps. Old Samsumg Galaxy phones mostly for the androids with a couple of Moto Gs thrown in there. iPhone 3, 4 and 4s for the iOS phones.

Thanks for replying!

So I should just wait and SB will *automatically* update my app for iPad to include Favorites? Until I began reading here I never realized that SBTV used to have a Favorites category bc mine never did. (Got the app 2nd week in July.)

Automatic updates are not done by SB. It is dependent on how you have your preferences set for your iPad.

Is PerkTV part of Swagbucks or something else? If it's something else, is it worth getting. SB keeps me plenty busy.

Perk is different entirely - I switch to it after I'm done with Swagbucks.

How do you get the gift cards on your phone to redeem them in store? Just pull them up on the app?

how long can you run Perk? Does it max out like SB?

I run the Perk apps constantly and only give them a rest at night. The only app that has a max is the screen unlock, which maxes out at 2500 pts. per day.

Remember the Dylte deal last month when they were swamped with orders?

On June 19 I purchased a gift card from Dylte and was awarded my 1500 Swagbucks almost immediately. But they never processed my credit card and my Dylte account always said "under review"

On July 20 I got this email from Dylte:
Thank you for shopping with us.
Unfortunately, we couldn't process order #1xxxx.
Our automated fraud detection system detected one or more risk factors with your information, so your order has been rejected. Your credit card has NOT been charged.

Now it's July 23. I wonder if I'm going to lose my Swagbucks? I wouldn't surprise me if I did, but I hope I don't. I made the purchase in good faith, with every intention of fulfillment. I won't be buying from Dlyte again though--a whole month to process (or not process) an order!

They took mine back but a while ago. Hopefully you get lucky. What a terrible site!

 

[JenzyHP]

They took mine when I wanted to change my order and it had to be cancelled. I think dlyte seems a bit shady.

 

[GoofyTraci]

ok I have a ? My son plays on xbox a lot. Is there a way to get points from him doing that? We can't cancel and make a new account but anything with the internet or an app? New to this so just asking.

 

[GoofyTraci]

Also can you order gift cards from like target from swagbucks and then use the giftcard at the store to buy the regular household items that you would normally get there to get the swagbucks? Hope I make sense

I had trouble with My order from DLyte because it kept saying my order was "In Review". Then they told me my card had been declined so I asked them to retry it and it went through. After about a week, SB took back my 1500 SB's, even though I had received my order from DLyte. I contacted SB with the proof that I completed the transaction and they still said that it was "Not Completed". I sent all the info again, including the emails between DLyte and me as well as a screenshot of my DLyte account, showing exactly when the order was completed and delivered. After that, Swagbucks returned the 1500SBs to my account....but what a hassle!

Does anyone know what the courtesy bucks are for? I just signed in an they had credited 50 to my account but they didn't go towards my daily goal.

Usually if you raise a ticket regarding non crediting swagbucks or are owed them.

 

[IndianaMouse]

Thanks, I just got an email stating pretty much what you said. I signed up for Curious last month for 3,000 SB and now they are saying that they can't find the completion in their system , but here's 50 SB . I'm pretty ticked at the moment.

 

[crazymomof4]

Do you guys find that many SB Shopping purchases DON'T post?
I shopped and purchased thru SB (and made SURE to go thru the link and that the "activated" message showed at the top of the page) at Tracfone, Lowes, Home Depot, ebay and PetSmart, in that order. ONLY ebay and Petsmart, the most recent have posted as "purchases" and the SB are pending. What's up with that? What do you do? Contact SB about it?

Question regarding SBTV- can you only run that off one device? I thought it was like perk where you could run multiple devices, but I connected an old iPhone to my wifi to try SBTV on it and it says I've already reached my limit for the day.
