I've learned not to contact them, they will look into the account and find a reason to flag/ban you, even if you are using swagbucks and sbtv correctly (no auto reloading).

Just got my paypal that was ordered on 12/4 but not the target gc that was ordered on Nov 26. Anyone else have the target still showing as verified?
was yours "under review"? That is how mine is. It was initially verified. Not very happy about that. Was going to contact them today but guess I will wait till a week has gone by.

All of them say/said verified. Last time I ordered the target gc and it was cancelled since they ran out of stock (which I don't know how you do that if you just go to target and buy a gc), and now I wait very loong again. It will almost be the 14 days this week. I've never seen mine "under review".

Anyone know of an ios emulator? Bluestacks has been flaking out on me for sbtv mobile. The videos used to just go in circles and now I get "the server cannot be reached. please try again later"

Although I do the $5 Amazon GCs, and CVS GCs, I kind of wonder why anyone bothers with any other cards - unless there's a sale. I buy PayPal GCs and transfer REAL money that I can use ANYWHERE to my bank account. I notice that they aren't offering $5 PayPal GCs right now, but the large denominations cost the same number of SBs as the other cards. If Target GCs are causing problems, switch to real money!! Wink

I referred a friend to SB a long time ago and have not been credited until recently. I thought the referral's matching pts would be automatically credited to my account but it wasn't until I discovered recently and alerted SB. Swagbucks would only credit my account a portion and refused to credit the whole amount. I would appreciate any thoughts on this as I don't know where to pose this question.

I usually get paypal but now they are only at the $25, with target I just redeem them for cash since I'm in CA. I just thought it would be quicker with a $5 target gc, but I guess I was wrong.

Reward Amount: 35 Swag Bucks
This was not 10 minutes. It took more like 25 and was about razors.

I've had GCs listed as "under review" twice now. Each time I contacted, I was told my account was being reviewed and to not use bots for SBTV (which I do not do, and I maybe watch enough to get 6-9 SBs a day, at most).

On the plus side, as soon as they responded to me, they lifted the "under review" and issued the GCs right then.

I got to the last question of a survey, hit the finish button and received an error. I did a screenshot of the previous page and error and emailed swagbucks support. This was the reply:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do apologize for the error you received while taking a survey. If you do experience any errors while taking surveys or where not properly redirected back Swagbucks.com upon completion, your answers will not be calculated in the survey results as a successful completion and a credit will not be issued.

Please know Swagbucks.com does not host any of the surveys on our servers. We apologize we have no control over any errors experienced on the survey company's servers. We again do apologize for any trouble you experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this the standard practice for them? No swag bucks?

thank you for your response...I will try to contact them tomorrow I guess...it scared the beegees out of me when I looked at the status and it said to contact compliance @swagbucks....uggghh

I knew it must be the stupid SBTV....just got it at the beginning of the month on iOS....it takes hours to get 50SB and they think a bot is used for hours??? huh...shouldn't a bot finish very quickly?....no more SBTV for me...don't need those chump points for the headache....

Yep, afraid so. That is what they have responded to me several times. I don't bother contacting them much anymore, don't want to get flagged since I'm a high earner there. Sometimes if you reply and try to prove your point, they will credit you. They have not been so accommodating to me, but they have given me a courtesy award of 10 or 30 SB to shut me up basically....LOL!
