Those using swagbucks ???

[afan]

I haven't see Laptop guy this week either. Really irritates me since I actually use him a lot because I can run him while I'm working with little attention. My work has a lot of things blocked like ncraves, most offer walls, sb watch etc so he is usually a good earner for me.

I've had him in the morning but not at night like I had for a l9ng time.

I think I had one round of laptop guy recently. Thank goodness the 1 SB TV nCrave is working for me today. It has been running for over 4 hours without a glitch today (has not been the case recently!)

Since everything is harder now, I figured we might want to go over our daily to do list, just in case there was something easy someone was doing, that someone else missed.

For me:

1. Run through the list on the side:

• Poll
• Daily Crave (during slow periods I get those Daily Crave singles that I don't bother with when things are better)
• Search (you can get search wins 4 times throughout the day - you have to wait a couple hours after getting a win to get another win)
• Discover ("Laptop Guy" is easiest, if he is missing go into the Partners looking for the 1 SB slideshows, or Insurance Offers. The low point ones that go quickly)
• Attempt a survey ( you can earn 5 SB via disqualifications)
• Deal of the Day
• Complete a survey (I rarely get the full bonus, because I give up on surveys after getting my 5 DQs)

2. 10 SB for Games - Swagasaurus Run will only work for me in Edge, I think because of Ad blockers or the other browsers blocking Flash

3. 140 for Mobile Apps: You may not have the option for 140. I have the 6 Prodege Apps (SBTV, Lifestyle, EntertaiNow, Sportly, IndyMusic.tv, MovieClips), plus the old version of the Swagbucks App (not SBTV) which had a watch section. If you look at the update info for this app, it says it removes this section, so I don't update it. Apps reset at 6PM PST/9PM PST.

4. nCraves - I can only get AYCE to run for 1 round, periodically through the day. The TV list seems like it is taking a really long time for 1SB, so I run this only when I am away from the computer, or overnight. If I can manually set things off I am running some of the 3SB lists because they have been running well. Best of nCrave only has 6 pages, so it's best, but I've also been doing the one with the Longaberger Building (Discovery) and the Youngsterwood and the Entertainment (Microphone). If they disappear, I try different browsers, incognito, etc.

5. Print Coupons - I only started doing this, I didn't realize it was so easy to do. But I've only been credited twice, so I consider them bonus points.

I have not been doing Watch videos, or the Watch on the Swagbutton, so I don't know how those are currently running. I've been setting a personal goal of 300 pts per day and so far I've been able to get it with just these. We'll see how long that lasts.

Those mobile apps seem to be 2 minutes of commercials before it gets to the video I can watch and actually count towards my 6 or 8 or whatever to proceed. Am I doing something wrong there? I get most of my points from completing one or two surveys a day.

Has anyone whose apps stopped working figured out how to get them working again? I can only get indymusic to run anymore

I used to only do apps on my old iPhone 4S, but indymusic is the only one that will run over there. I gave up, and started running the rest on my actual phone. For most of the last 2 days the apps haven't been running ads. They play their short clip, spin around for a bit, then play the next short clip. So it has been going pretty quickly. I'll do it while it lasts.

I have an iphone 6. Used to use my ipad too. But nothing works but indymusic. That's why my app earning went from $300 in 2016 to $80 last year. I'm headed to $40 or so this year if I can't get the other apps working again.

Would love to know the answer to this too. I can only play SBTV on my iphone 4. Nothing at all works on my iphone 5.

I'm sure you tried this, but have you verified that you have the most recent version of the app on your phone? I know last year they were doing a lot of forced app updates. MovieClips had an update December 5th, so if you haven't tried that one in awhile, I'd start there. Update, or delete and reinstall. Sportly, Lifestyle, EntertaiNow updates were in August.

Also, it looks like MovieClips requires IOS 10.

Lifestyle & Sportly IOS 8, EntertaiNow IOS 9.

I think the update caused the issues. I can’t favorite anything and I just get the “keep watching” screen but never get swagbucks. And I deleted sbtv to reinstall but it’s not available anymore???

 

[tzeitel]

Mine both credited but they took a few days in between. I wouldn’t give up on it yet

You mention the coupons...I just realized that I printed coupons on the 29th, 30th, 31st and Jan 1st and I still didn’t get credit for any of them. That’s a bummer! Is there any chance that they may still credit down the road or am I just out of luck?

I'm not sure how they credit, it is supposedly the next day or on Monday for the weekend coupons. Some have specific dates when they credit (like the 3x bonus). The one that credited yesterday was for 2 days.

Yeah, there are no favorites. Most apps just have their front page of videos, or a short clips section. And just a progress bar. It should eventually fill up and then get credit ( I think it's 10 videos). Yours isn't filling in? MovieClips looks very different. If anyone can get that to work there is a Star Wars section (scroll to the right where it says, What's New, Box Office, Short Clips, etc.) with some 45 sec videos, but some that are only 6 sec, 4 sec, 9 sec)

 

[DisneyMandC]

All of my apps other than SBTV say "not authorized" whenever I try to play them. I have no idea what that means.

All my apps work and I have favorites saved on all of them. They get automatically updated when there's an update for android.

I bought a cheap cricket phone to just run apps on. I figured 30 bucks when I make 100 to 125 a month was a good investment when my old phone died. I didn't want to use my regular phone for it any more.

Please say more about your "cheap cricket phone" - I have been thinking about something like that, as I am very reluctant to run anything on my "real" phone (my kids use all our shared data).

I did a bit of research to see how much space I needed and one that worked I think I did most of this on target since that's where I wanted to buy it. I ended up with something water. Kyocera or HTC maybe. I'd have to look at home. It pretty much holds the 5 apps and nothing else. I deleted some of the preloaded games to make more room. It works great. It is dead by the time I get home from work but when the apps behave it runs quite awhile until it dies. Except for when it dies it runs apps all the time, unless I hit limits like this month.

That's the message that comes up for out of date apps. Unfortunately, for old phones we can't update them because we can't have the proper IOS update to run the updated apps on them.

I think the keyword there is Android.

you're a genius, off to Target I go.

Thanks - it would be great if you could post the phone's details. It does sound like a good "investment" if it will accumulate enough points to pay for itself.

So true. With four kids who have all had assorted Apple products, I can say that updating Apple operating systems has been the source of several significant crises over the years.
