Those using swagbucks ???

[travelbug]

Anyone else having a lot of trouble with nCraves today? They get all the way to the end, and then instead of awarding the SBs, it says the activity wasn't completed. Over and over. Both manual and "auto" mode. 2 different laptops (one PC and one Apple), 2 different browsers (IE and Chrome). Same thing.

Can't believe how HORRIBLE the tech has gotten on SB over the last couple months. Things are so glitchy, tech support only shoots out auto-replies, and very few things work smoothly any more.

Those who have done Swagbucks for years, has it ever been this bad before? I hesitate to even recommend SB to anyone any more, because it has become so frustrating.

Mine's been running fine in chrome. I keep running the 6 sb one in Life.

Do the ncraves come back? A lot of the ones I had been doing are gone now. I only have a few left that I can autorun. I'm scared to do them in case I need them during the week when I have less time to ear sbs.

I do the 6 sb life one over and over again and it's yet to disappear. But I only started running nCraves in the last week or so so I'm not really sure.

I've been running the 6sb Life nCrave for 2 months, I think, and I only have a vague recollection of it disappearing maybe once.

To those that don't know, in order to access the higher point nCraves, you must complete another (lower point) nCrave first, then you'll be shown a bunch more nCrave opportunities.

That's the one I ran for most of yesterday, with no problem. Today it completes but I don't get any SBs. So frustrating.

Finally got a 46 SB survey in Peanut Labs on horse feed since I'm a horse owner. Think I'm going to sign off for the rest of the day... yeesh.

I've run one so far, also in chrome, and it didn't pay. Running a different one that has always paid and will see what it does. I may not be taking time to do it, but I'm not going to waste time starting them if they won't pay.

I have had that happen before, but it is usually only 1 or 2 that do it, and the rest will work, so I just avoid the ones that don't unless I get to where that is all that is left. It is *super* frustrating, though.

I hit first goal by 11am (the one advantage to having insomnia and only sleeping 4-5 hours a night, I suppose), but I am out of "good" apps now and only have the ones that I have to restart after every video

I got one today too on soda. Which I rarely drink, but once a month was enough to qualify

I was having that a lot a few mo back. Turned out to be an issue with my modem/cable. (dropped connections) Had a few Comcast visits before I got a guy who REALLY wanted to fix things for me. He did a "check-up" of our entire line and, woo hoo... whatever he did fixed it. Now I only get the message (the one you are seeing) every now and then (like maybe 2x a week)

Hi! I joined swagbucks on October 6th thanks to reading about it here. So far I have earned just over 37000sb. I have earned them by doing ncraves, surveys, ttg, and laptop guy mainly. Also the 36sb on sbtv daily. I have lost out on many sb by doing the app of the day on my android phone. Have no idea why I never get the credit for those.
Anyway I finally realized what everyone was talking about on apps. I had no idea until today that there was more then just sbtv. So I installed a few of them on my phone to run.
My questions are: how many devices can you run at one time? For instance sbtv on one, sprtly one one etc.
My other question is how do you get the apps to run without babysitting them? I know about hitting done after a few seconds and replay but will they run quickly on their own and how?

Thanks!
Chrissy

This is one of those million dollar questions. No on can be entirely sure because no one gets the same answer from swagbucks (kind of like asking the phone CMs at Disney). You won't have success running the same app on multiple devices (probably). It is possible that you could run different apps on multiple devices with no problem. You could attempt to run multiple apps on different devices and some or none of them might credit. You could do this for a long time and suddenly be banned (you are supposed to be interacting with swagbucks when you run it). It could be for running multiple devices, or for something else. You could run multiple devices and never have any issues. I personally run apps on 1 mobile device and do 1 activity at a time on my laptop (so I do nCraves, or LTG, but not both at the same time). I *think* this is within their TOS, but it may not be. YMMV.

My other question is how do you get the apps to run without babysitting them? I know about hitting done after a few seconds and replay but will they run quickly on their own and how?

The easiest way to run them is to start them and let them auto next video after the 10 second count down. If they don't hang up, they will just run themselves out eventually. Other than done and replay or next video, there isn't anything that I know of that doesn't violate the TOS. And, without watching them closely there is a very good chance that will hang and you will have to restart them anyway.

Thank you that is what I suspected and I do not want to break any rules on purpose.

I have had luck running two devices at the same time. In early December, I would start both SBTV & Lifestyles before I went to be bed and just let them go all night. Most of the time they would run most of the night and would go into bonus rounds. Now the APPS aren't working on iPad and the bonus rounds have dried up.

To have the apps run quicker, favorite (swipe left) short videos and run those.

SBTV & Lifestyles - favorite 10 sec tips in Home & Garden sections.
Sportly, MovieClips, EntertaiNOW - find a video that is 30 seconds and favorite it
IndyMusic - under Short Clips, there are 20 second clips, favorite those.

 

[DIS_MERI]

oh, yes, sorry. I always run apps from favorites. I have a single favorite on each app, select it from favorites and it just repeats over and over (and over) again.

This is very helpful for finding the shortest video to favorite: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwagBucks/comments/2dyb6h/swagbucks_app_video_times/

 

[chrissy92972]

thank you. I have been playing videos for 4 hours so far today from the various apps and barely hit 100sb.

Without bonus rounds the most you can get from all apps is 86 (36 from SBTV & 10 each from the other 5)

 

[chrissy92972]

Ok that is what thought 10 each except for sbtv. I have been running the 6sb ncrave over and over and did the to do list. Tried 4 surveys that were there and nothing before they even gave me a chance to answer anything.

Hmm. I do tons of things at once on my laptop and haven't gotten in trouble yet. I figure, if I do then I'm just done. Otherwise, the time commitment is way too much. I'll do n'crave, games, and laptop guy at the same time. You have to run 2 different apps on 2 different devices if you want credit.
