Those using swagbucks ???

BIG QUESTION: I have been reading online from some tax experts that you have to report everything you earn, regardless of the amount, on your taxes or you could be hit for tax evasion; has everyone here been reporting it? How has that affected your tax returns?

This is interesting, because if SB isn't giving 1099s or some other documentation about their payouts, how would the irs know what you earned? Unless they did a massive audit of SB's bookkeeping practices? Not sure how this would play out.

I find it so interesting that so many people have issues with stuff posting for purchases. I've never had an issue and just had one post today! Do you all go through the shop page to do it, or do you just have the little banner pop up at top of the webpages that says "activate shop and earn"?

The new swag bucks looks terrible. I dislike having to search for everything.

I had a tough time finding the nCraves this morning. They're under Watch now.

Ugh. Is there a way to move to another set of videos without going back to categories? At least I realized you don't have to watch the whole video. Slow earning this morning

Every time I've gone through the SB shop and earn page, + made sure the "shop and earn activated"" appeared at the top of the store's page. My "visits" to the shopping pages DO show up on the list under "my shop and earn", so that's evidence that I went through the proper route, correct?

Do any of you have the "Free Samples" offers credit? I find it to be a "rabbit hole" of continuous pages, additional windows popping up.... it seems to NEVER get to an end-page or get a completion message. I've spent 10 mins clicking "yes" or "no" to dozens of questions. Seems fruitless.
Anyone know of a tip for getting these to actually credit??

Same here!!!

Um, Ya.... watching 4 videos for 1 SB.... totally not worth it!
Hating the SB changes today!

So far not impressed with new Swagbucks. It might be time to say goodbye. I'm halfway to a $5 gift card so I think I'll at least go that far. They may change things (though they seem to not listen to the users, so not crossing my fingers). I used to recommend SB over all the other reward sites due to the ease of use but . . . .

They are also under Discover. I miss the drop down boxes for the categories, had to click on Discover to see nCrave. I do see them under Watch too.

Ugh. Is there a way to move to another set of videos without going back to categories? At least I realized you don't have to watch the whole video. Slow earning this morning

If there is a way, I'd like to know what it is!

While not the quickest route, I've just been running the watch feature in the background as I do work on the computer. It will cycle through all 4 videos for you and award the point. At the end of the last video it pulls up 3 or 4 other options to watch with a listing of how long the set of videos are as a whole. Not sure how to do it if you push through videos to change as soon as it allows you to skip and still get points.

Thanks. They seem to vary. Some are 4 minutes per set, others are over 20. I'm not home much so I need to run them as quickly as possible. The going back to the category and keeping track of what you've watched is crazy.

Not impressed at all either

Thank you as the videos are my main way I get bucks. The new way is awful and slow!!

This morning was a major pain. Sportly was running the 30 second starbucks protein drink video between two-thirds of the videos (I don't drink coffee and no matter how many times I see it I'm not going to buy it) and the new watch was awful. There aren't enough videos in any category and way too much to keep track of (which categories and videos you've watched). Also, I went through one set and it never credited. Hope the negative feedback persuades them that new system needs some improvements.

I'm having issues this morning with Swagbucks TV. I haven't watched any videos since yesterday, however when I loaded videos this morning a banner pops up saying I've already watched and cannot get points. I just contacted Swagbucks.

LifeStylz and the Entertainment app (forget the name) kept freezing up on me this morning. Got Lifestylz running now. Fingers crossed.
