Guys casino tasks are out. :cheesygri:D

Curious as to what these "casino" tasks you guys talk about are. I have never seen anything mentioning casino and don't see anything like that now. (?) What is the actual title of the task?

Is SB starting to implement Captchas for SBTV again? I am getting hit this evening.

I didn't get any today. And haven't since the 2-3 days where they had them all the time (~one month ago).

It's listed in the Tasks section. It is a 20 SB task.
It begins with "Answer a few questions about a website (United States - Friday's task)" or
"Answer a few questions about a website (Canada - Friday's task)"

It's NOT always listed in the tasks section, it appears at random times of the day. For example, it may be listed at 7PM,
but by 8PM, it may no longer be listed in the Tasks section.

I got this message when I logged on early this week and sent an email to inquire what it was about:

Your account has been deactivated!
There are a couple reasons why you may be prevented from accessing your account:
1. You are operating more than one user account.
2. You are using your account in violation of our terms of use.
If you feel that you have received this message in error please contact compliance@swagbucks.com.

I have no idea why I could be banned. I don't have more than one user account (though I use swagbucks on my Universities wireless so I thought perhaps they thought there was more than one account on an IP). And I never used any auto reloaders or anything, though I did recently start doing a lot more of swagbucks tv when I found you can get 100+ on it. I would just leave it in the background muted and click on it when like watching a movie. I'm hoping to get it sorted out, I had just ordered a 50$ amazon gc!

noob question here but im just wondering what these "partner bucks" are and how you come about getting them?

also on many of the tasks it says "ive done all i can for now", im assuming thats a timed waiting period before i can do a different version of the same task?

thanks for your help in advance

noob question here but im just wondering what these "partner bucks" are and how you come about getting them?


The below is an explanation for "partner bucks".
http://blog.swagbucks.com/2011/05/howdy-partner.html
This topic is very common among the customer service inquiries we receive. Often times, we find that users are just not aware we have partner sites. Partner sites vary in focus from Star Trek (RoddenberrySearch.com) to World Wrestling Entertainment (MyWWEsearch.com) to NFL teams (MyPackersSearch.com) to musical artists (SearchWithKISS.com). Each partner site has exclusive prizes that do not appear on swagbucks.com. You can find a complete list of partner sites here.
Earning search wins on partner sites can result in Swag Bucks you cannot use on swagbucks.com. I know how frustrating this can be when you attempt to order that prize you have been saving for, only to find out you are 100 Swag Bucks less from your goal.
Here are a few tips to help keep you on track to earning the correct bucks:

1. Swag Bucks can only be redeemed on the site from which they were earned. So, if you earned 5 Packers Swag Bucks from MyPackersSearch.com those Bucks can not be redeemed on swagbucks.com, just as general Swag Bucks cannot be used to redeem prizes on MyPackersSearch.com. The Bucks must be redeemed on the site which they were earned. The same goes for partner site swag codes. Partner Swag Codes will only appear valid when entered on that site and are only redeemable for prizes on that same site.
2. Referrals who search on a partner site and win will earn you bucks for that partner site and you will receive matching bucks for the same partner site. So if one day you wake up and you have KISS Swag Bucks this may be why.
3. Finally, our CS team cannot remove or swap out these partner bucks from your account. When using swagbucks.com your total will include all of your earned bucks on various search sites. This can be confusing, so be sure to check your Account Ledger for a breakdown of your bucks and which site they are from.

We hope that you utilize and enjoy our partner sites if those prizes appeal to you. It is our pleasure to offer these targeted sites to fans in addition to the more familiar swagbucks.com.
As always, we enjoy helping each one of you enjoy your time here on swagbucks.com. If you have any feedback or questions regarding the partner sites leave a comment.
Best,
Monica

why bother getting a $25 card ? .. do the math .. a $25 card is 3150 swagbucks , divide that by 5 , your paying 630 swagbucks for a $5 card .. just cash out $5 every time you have 450.. unless i'm missing something..

That's 500 videos. Assuming the videos are around 50 seconds long average, that's 25000 seconds. That's roughly 7 hours of non-stop videos. That doesn't even include the 15-30 seconds ads.

"Requirements for completion: Visit the site to earn Swag Bucks. Choose your gif, choose your rap, and create your own personalized holiday greeting! Credits in 1 business day."

So what exactly do they want you to do to get credit? It doesn't say you need to "Share" it but there's only a 'Share' button.. That would be rather annoying if you did it 100x over Facebook or Twitter, lol.

HOW?!?!?!?!

Yes, it's really hard (or I should say unhealthy) to achieve 150 SB per day.
The swagbucks page will count the duration of the ad as well, so you can choose not to block it (but it will create additional internet bandwidth because every time it may load different ads plus the regular videos you are watching).

JJJ112's calculation is right.

320 seconds to get 3sb
I am not suggesting you now to try and load the video for 320 seconds, but maybe to think if this time (320 seconds) is spent worthy to you.

It is very mind bothering to remind yourself that you have to constantly going back to the page and select videos. Not only that, you have to be on the computer "long enough" to complete all 500 videos... it will be really bad to your health.

However, it's not entirely impossible, as someone mentioned before he/she was required to work on the computer so it allows them to perform this task on the side.


How to do it? All you need is time and consistent mental preparation...

Good luck my friend.

So have all Canadians lost Gambit? I have a unique and mixed up Swagbuck account. I am Canadian and I have just returned home from the US after living there for 3 years. I joined Swagbucks while I lived down there and the swagbucks webpage will not allow me to change my address from US to Canada. So I think I get some offers that Canadians do not normally get but I am excluded from alot that I use to get when living in the US. I also do not receive surveys, offers etc that you do get. For example I can not purchase a Amazon.ca gift card. I need to contact Swagbucks but I really do not want to loose the bucks I have accumulated. It is funny that you do not get Gambit considering they seem to be Canadian ads and half are in French.

2 SB for clicking through NOSO
1 SB for Daily Poll
10 SB for playing free games.
1 SB for using the toolbar
3 SB swagtv from Inbox
75 SB + a Bonus 75 SB until the New Year for swagtv...3 SB for every 10 videos.
30 or more a day from search wins. Generally 3-4 search wins a day worth 7-50 SB each.
Special offers: The more you do the more SB you earn...some do not credit, So you have to take screenshot and send tickets to support.
1-2 SB each for commercial videos: Sometimes
1,2,3,6 or more SB from Tasks.
Swagbucks can also be earned by playing SB Trivia Challenge on FaceBook.

There is a 50sb eReader Tablet survey under Trusted Survey!:D Also 81sb international students survey on Radium One. But that one took 2 days to credit me.
One video (1sb) on SuperSonic can credit you twice.:razz:

Spent over 10 mins for the trusted survey but only got "not qualify", I should've known though. :(

The Paymentwall netflix offer is a scam. Well i think they are scammers anyways.
I signed up exactly how you are supposed to, using the provided Netflix trial link. It said "completes in a few hours". After 12 hours of not being given my swagbucks, I sent in an inquiry and it took them a week to reply back. They tell me that they didn't find my signup under Paymentwall or something. Basically no record of me signing up for the trial using Paymentwall's link. Inquiry closed.

Gee thanks. Pricks.

If you read the fine print, it requires that you sign up via a US connection (all other offers say via Canadian connection) so that's why I ended up doing it through Super Rewards as that one gave the second most amount of points.

My 4 years old actually loves their games, especially the hidden objects, we've bought 3 so far and most of them are family fun. Also they give a month free club membership which you'll get to test games.

It was 675 SB for this offer, I was waiting for last membership to expire so I can test more games, too bad they lowered it, but it's still a good deal I guess.

Hope some one could update OP to reflect changes.

Also note that everything has changed since then. They multiplied everything by 10 which is why the 45 SB card now equals 450 SB. (for example, they used to give 1SB for a search and not it will be 10, etc.)

Ouch, that happened to me last month when I was saving up to redeem for $25 Paypal and got caught. So now I expedite every Amazon shipment, sure it's an extra 50 SB, but I have the peace of mind knowing I get it the next day, or I know I am banned and don't waste another week earning Swagbucks on an account that is going to be deactivated. Once I max out the Amazon, I redeem at the $5 or $10 level. This way i'm not wasting time only to have them deactivate.

Not necessarily per vendor. I've cleared 5 x $5 + 2-3 x $25 all from Amazon in a month, so you're just allowed a max of 5 per vendor denomination.

As per SB, you're not "allowed to". I've only ever had one account, but if you read back in the thread some people have done this successfully for a period of time. If SB finds out, they will ban the account and you'll have to start over again. You have to watch out for captchas, because if they are suspicious of your account for some reason they'll be more likely to use them.


How do you get 150sb from sbtv? Do you sit in front of the computer watching 4hrs of videos everyda? It takes hrs to get even 75sb. Is there a trick or something?

I don't think I've ever 'watched' or 'listened' to a video.

Some people use autoloaders which you can read about somewhere within this thread. They'll work, but if SB finds out or you miss a number of captchas (which they can throw in at any time), they'll ban the account.

As for me, I'm on the computer all day at work and those days it is easy. If I am at home watching TV online or surfing the net, I'll also do it.

Each video only needs to play for 30 seconds (that includes the ad - some ads are 30 seconds so the video doesn't need to play at all). I use bookmarks to some of the older videos where you only have to turn the sound off once and the sound never plays for any video or ad (with the newer ones it seems to come on each time a new video starts which doesn't work if you want to watch a movie or listen to anything else on your computer at the same time).

I just have the SBTV as a small sliver on my screen like in the picture below. When the bar advances, I can click on another video:

http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/702/sbtv.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/sbtv.jpg/)

Yes, but in theory you can't. I did that for 6 months with 2 accounts and collected about 5x$5 GC from amazon.ca + 2x $10 paypal per month for each account. I just got both accounts banned last month. I am with one account now as I don't have time for 2 accounts. Be prepared to get banned and make sure you claim sb right the way and use the gc immediately before you get banned. Make sure you have many email accounts to use for new accounts. I am on my last and 5th email as my previous 4 got banned.

The rules were changed a little while ago...to be safe, though always redeem as soon as you have enough points in case of ban.

Per FAQs.

Yes, as long as each individual has their own account. Multiple accounts per person will be deactivated.

What is "Captchas"? So you mean if I autoload a video for some time, they can ban me for that reason?

Also, how do they identify whether your have two accounts or one of the account is from your family members, using different IP address? So it is like you have to associate one computer with one account?

I use Firefox for SBTV only (without adblocker in case of any captchas - although I haven't seen one in months) and Chrome with adblocker as my regular browser.

I haven't seen any survey under Trusted Surveys for a week. How about you guys?

Back. what I miss:cheesygri


Would it be okay if I made a 2nd account with a different name/address than my first one and use it only on my laptop which uses wifi while my first account uses cable for internet? Or would none of that make a difference?

make 2 or 3. email address is free:lol:


make no difference, still 1 ip address. However, it will take months or longer for SB to find out. By then you should make and claim enough gc.

Bingo :razz:


What is "Captchas"? So you mean if I autoload a video for some time, they can ban me for that reason?

Also, how do they identify whether your have two accounts or one of the account is from your family members, using different IP address? So it is like you have to associate one computer with one account?

Yes they can ban you even if you don't use autoload or bots.:cry:

I haven't seen any in about a week either.

I have qualified twice for those 60SB surveys that you can try every day from your mail inbox though.

Also, how do they identify whether your have two accounts or one of the account is from your family members, using different IP address? So it is like you have to associate one computer with one account?

Captcha is a code you have to enter to claim your swagbucks. You may from time to time see them when you search or when viewing SBTV (I haven't seen one in months, but others have reported seeing them and being banned for missing them). If you don't enter the captcha in a certain period of time, they'll know something is going on and can ban your account (which will almost always happen after you've submitted for redemption).

I don't know what they use to 'tell' whether they think it is a family member's account or two from one person. They used to only allow one per household, but changed that policy as per this blog post which states:

The standing policy for Swagbucks.com has always been “One Account Per Household”, meaning that if a user tried to refer a roommate, spouse or sibling, they would be unsuccessful and would be subject to the possible deactivation of their account. As our Compliance team has developed more and more sophisticated ways to detect user fraud, we’re excited to announce a change to our policy and allow each member of your household to have their own account.

We’re still only allowing one account per individual. Multiple accounts per person are still expressly prohibited and will be shut down.

In the short term, maybe. But as their customers realize all those clicks/views are generating no sales since in fact nobody is watching, they'll stop advertising with Swagbucks. The end result will be less bucks available for everybody.

Maybe I just got out of bed on the wrong side or something. But this seems exactly the same as if you'd found a way to forge credit card info, then buy stuff in such a way that the purchases can't be tracked back to you. Whenever Mastercard detects the invalid card and cancels it, you just forge a new one and go on ripping them off. I don't know how you can convince yourself this is OK.

Hi, guys,

Can any one estimate how much internet cap will you use in order to get the full 75 SBs from SBTV? I believe you need around 3 hours of video to get that SBs, how many Gbs or Mbs will it use? Is there any way to save some bandwidth (like put the video in the cache?) if you are watching the same video again and again?

Another quick question, if I invite another family member to use SB with his/her own account. And the account will only be used on our desktop PC, while my account will only be used on my laptop. I would assume it is allowed as we really have just one account per person. However, we would be sharing the same WIFI network, so both account will be working on the same external IP address of my router, while internal IP is probably different. Would that be OK, I don't want the effort to get another account of my family member and only get banned in the end?

Their length will vary. I'd estimate most of them average around 10 minutes (some more, some less).

No, you aren't guaranteed to get them. I usually qualify between 1 - 3 times a week for the 60SB survey (if you don't qualify you don't get the 1SB that you get for being disqualified from Trusted Surveys). Often, when you go to try a survey, it will tell you right away that there isn't a survey you qualify for today so often you don't have to answer any questions to find out you've been disqualified. My experience is that they are better than the Trusted Surveys - where you sometimes answer quite a few questions (more than basic info) and then find out you've disqualified. It happens, but not as often.

Sometimes you qualify, and then the payoff is good - if you don't at least you still get 1 sb. :D

You do for the Trusted Surveys, but for the 60SB surveys that you can try daily you don't get 1SB if you don't qualify (the daily 60Sb surveys are the ones you access from mailbox each day until the link expires - then they send you a new one. The link is usually good for a week or 2).

Hi, guys,

Can any one estimate how much internet cap will you use in order to get the full 75 SBs from SBTV? I believe you need around 3 hours of video to get that SBs, how many Gbs or Mbs will it use? Is there any way to save some bandwidth (like put the video in the cache?) if you are watching the same video again and again?

I don't pay much attention to bandwidth since I have a lot with TekSavvy, but there is a discussion about it somewhere within this thread. Some people tracked their usage and estimate around 2GB/day (a bit less). With TekSavvy, they don't give you a day to day breakdown, only by month so I'm not sure exactly how much I use directly from SBTV. If you go for the full 150SB/day that is currently allowed it will be more.


Well I finally got the ban hammer on all of my accounts. Lost close to $100 in giftcards pending. I may try once again, but it seems they must be tracking MAC addresses now alongside IP address filtering. Using proxies is no longer safe.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted, I need to update my sig as I'm at about $2000 now. LOL.

$2,000 is pretty good! Seemed that this happened to a number of people recently (I know I wouldn't have time for 2 accounts :))

Still at 150. I wonder if they forgot or plan to allow it to continue?

Using a good adblocker, 500 videos (for 150 SB) is about 300 MB a day. Without ad blocker, I was going over 1 GB a day. The numbers are from my Rogers' usage.



Another quick question, if I invite another family member to use SB with his/her own account. And the account will only be used on our desktop PC, while my account will only be used on my laptop. I would assume it is allowed as we really have just one account per person. However, we would be sharing the same WIFI network, so both account will be working on the same external IP address of my router, while internal IP is probably different. Would that be OK, I don't want the effort to get another account of my family member and only get banned in the end?
If they want to ban you, you'll both get banned. You also both can't max out SBTV. Like you both can't get the max of 150 SB/day, you'll hit the cap earlier as you both split the limit.

Thanks. But why couldn't we each max out our SBTV limits. I thought they allow more than one account per household.

Given that we each have our separate account, doesn't that mean we can both max out 150SB/day for SBTV per account? Or does SBTV has a specific limit set for maximum 150SB/day per household rather than per account?

SBTV is shared in a household. Games might be shard too - I'm not positive about that one.

Yes, but make sure you add the codes to your amazon account as soon as you get them because if you get banned, you won't be able to access the codes anymore. (Also remember you pick either amazon.com or .ca when you redeem).

Redeem for gift cards as soon as you have enough points. And apply gift cards to your amazon.ca or .com account as soon as your gift cards has been posted. You've been talking about having multiple accounts per household, so this will also increase the chances of being banned (whether legitimate or not).

well it is easy to find the pattern on how sb are awarded. i use the minimum ammount of time on each acct. Ex I wake up in the morning and check my email, goto SB and do the 2-6 searches before I win. as soon as i win, i do the daily poll, then sometimes the NOSO and then I'm done. That's 10 sb there. then i go back in the afternoon/evening depending how busy my day is after waiting 4-6 hours,then repeat searching until I win. So on a non-referral account I make about 17sb/day or 23/day on an account that does referral wins (when it is averaged out). It only takes me about 1-2 minutes to run each account, about 30 min a day to run all 20. I was averaging about 300sb/day for all accounts.

i'm not surprised i got banned by any means... i am surprised how long it took them. lol.

in the end i'm still the winner.

I'm not very technically inclined, but I assume that if you have a VPN account with multiple gateways it would be pretty simple, since each gateway would register as a different IP. I have a Witopia account I use to watch US Netflix and have thought about doing this, but unless there was a high degree of automation (autoloading SB, switching gateways at the right interval etc) imagine it would be a huge hassle.

Yes SB only limits maximum of 5 redeem per prize (ie. amazon.com/ .ca gift cards), so you can only redeem 5 per month.
So if you finish redeeming 5 of those $5 gift cards, the next available one is the $25 gift card.

I don't think they should have a limit, that way they could have a true measure of what is popular rather than force people to get stuff they may not want. Oh well. Still good I guess.

An iFrame is the HTML element that contains the video, but a page reloader doesn't have to be so specific; a simple "refresh" will do the same thing. Perhaps they were looking to use a complicated-sounding term to sound more impressive.

xalex0
Jan 24th, 2012, 05:54 PM
An iFrame program must be an HTML page that has control elements for reloading and sb video page running inside an embedded window (frame). They flag you if they find that the video page is a frame inside another page.

If you miss a large number of captchas, there is a high likelihood the account will be banned. That's why they are there. I haven't had captchas for months and they seem to give them to you if there is a suspicion of something (and missing them confirms their suspicions). Laying off swagbucks for a while probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

The bans usually happen after a redemption request. If you are going to be banned, I don't know if it would happen with this $50 redemption or your next one. If you don't get banned now, redeem for something small ASAP to see if you will be banned.

Each time you miss a captcha you lose that 3 SBs and it gets deducted from your daily 150 SB limit. Say you miss two captchas, then the most you can get that particular day is 144. Therefore it appears you missed 25 captchas.

No code. They just send the funds directly to your PayPal account via the e-mail address you signed up your Swag Bucks account with.

No. If you get banned you lose everything in the account (copy down any gift codes ASAP) and any pending orders are cancelled.

Good to see you got your $25...those 20-30 captchas you missed. When were they? Before this $25 redemption??? I'm doing SBTV from the 2nd account and only got 1 captcha at the beginning, so just going to cash out from the 1st and deactivate the account and open another one. It was good while it lasted, I have around $700 in my amazon account and I just started about 9 months ago.

I don't think there is an easier way to earn SBs than SBTV? Those surveys seem to take too much time to complete, but now they throw in the captchas all over the place, I am not sure what to do with my next account, maybe search only, but that is way too slow.

By the way, if my account got banned, what do I need to change in my next account? I mean obviously email, and name too? And do I have to use different IP address, different computers, different address etc?

If you have those codes (outside of SB), then should be ok. You should claim (enter in amazon.ca/com, I assume) those GCs ASAP as they come. If those GCs are still in SB then you are in no luck as you won't have access to sign in SB anymore.

You can't go into this thinking that you're going to get a lot of stuff out of it. If you're getting more than the 5 dollar amazon gift cards, you're essentially working for far less than minimum wage. It's really difficult to get enough to get anything else without really gaming the system. The only ways to really have it work in your favour legitimately is if you have a massive amount of referrals or if you've got a job in which you're sitting at your computer doing a whole lot of nothing all day.

Me three. Been getting them on SBTV since the 26th (like many were reporting also), not on the searching though. The last time they put the captchas back on I had them for one week exactly so I expect (hope) they'll be gone by the 2nd of February. It sucks because I can't just hit reload on the sliver of the tab I leave open in the background else I'll miss a captcha.

I found a tool from another site that can help with watching swagbucks when you are getting CAPTCHA's.
It's http://vidhelper.hosterbox.net/. No it doesn't solve it for you, but it's web based and helps a lot. Here is what I have learned from using it. Your TV watching meter must be at 0%, you put in a list of URL's to watch. It will randomly choose the a url and play it for a random time defined in the first two search boxes. It can also play alert sounds when you need to watch the final CAPTCHA video. I find it useful with the alerting.

Swag Bucks the time is going to fluctuate
6 minutes ago

Not sure if this means it will fluctuate with each video or be different on different days. With an increase to a minute, I won't be maxing out anymore.

They also apparently will be leaving the daily SBTV max at 150/day until February 27 and then it will be returning to the previous 75SB/day. With the meter going up at a minute, it would take 10 hours of continuous playing to reach 150/day so I don't think many will reach that.

I don't see how that's going to fool bots, fluctuating intervals isn't a limitation, they can monitor the meter and adjust accordingly. It just seems like they're annoying a larger group of users than just targeting bots.

Hopefully not, but likely. I guess they thought too many of us were getting the 150/day max so by upping the time limits, it will lower the SB they have to give out. Too bad they hadn't left it at 30 seconds until they dropped back down to 75/day at the end of February.

Why don't you just mute your computer's volume or turn off your speakers?

If you're using Windows (at least in Windows 7), you can use the volume mixer to adjust the volume of individual applications from the system tray. In this case you can turn down the volume of just your browser. I'm in a similar situation as you and, really, it gets tiring listening to the same ad several dozen times. :lol:

If you're going to do this, I wouldn't use your credit card. Order/buy a VISA/MC/Amex prepaid gift card, use up almost all of the value and then use that number for these trialpays.

Just do what you do everyday :razz: no need to lay low. ask teoconca:arrowd::arrowd::arrowd:. its normal to miss captcha. wish I only miss 1. I miss about 2/3 hours of it sometimes and then move to another acc#. 60 days late they will sent you an email saying they miss you and when you go back to that acc# you first search will be 40+sb:cheesygri

Does anyone know how often CAPTCHAs come up? I was able to get 100 SBs off SBTV yesterday and it seems pretty cool. But I'm not sure how often I'll have to check to see if the CAPTCHAs show up. Do they reoccur daily?

It depends on them to have better control of users on SBTV. My account has been hit with captchas on SBTV and searches for 1 week until late this morning. I suggest you keep an eye on the 1st 2 times for SBTV.

Plus, I find their SB prices for retail products are basically on par with regular retail prices for the same items (1 SB = 1 cent). No matter if that item is outdated or succeeded by another model, etc. And I don't think waiting for a sale on those items is a good idea because it's extremely rare.

You actually get 3 SB for every 10 videos you watch on SBTV. At one point you had to watch for a minute, then it was 30 seconds and right now it is 45 seconds.

Currently the max is 150SB/day. It was supposed to be temporary and then go back to a max of 75SB/day. Don't know how long they will leave it at 150/day.

I pick a different one everyday, as long as it is a minute long.
SB kept changing from 30 sec to 1 minute to 45 sec to earn the sb. So I just pick a minute as a safe precaution.

There was a day I wasn't paying attention at all and missed ALL the captchas. Thought I was gonna be banned for sure.

If you get banned, make a new one. Eventually you won't get banned, but if you do, make another new one. And always cash out asap, never try to build up for the $100 rewards when operating that many accounts. GL

I've only gotten a cell phone verification one time a long time ago. It wasn't an issue for me as I'm still on my first account (almost 3 years old) and only have one.

Back when the trial pay glitch i would "always" need to use cell phone verification since i got like 500 a day. Sadly they caught on before i got anything. Made a new account and just got 450 through searching maybe like a month or something. No cell phone verification

I have a question and I hope someone can answer it, LOL. I have asked Amazon and Swagbucks but they don't really give me an answer. What is the difference in ordering the amazon.ca cards or the amazon.com cards from Swagbucks? I know they are both different sites with different items and pricing but being in Canada does it make any difference which Amazon site we order from? If we order from the .ca site does that mean it is shipped out of Canada and we don't pay duty and taxes or are both the same with the only difference being the items and prices? Thanks in advance.

Well amazon.ca is their Canadian website and they ship from a warehouse in GTA (Mississauga if I remember correctly). Everything on the website is in Canadian dollars, appropriate provincial taxes are charged, no duties or brokerage fees of course. I've ordered lots of times from amazon.ca, never had a problem.

The amazon.com site is the American site and it has waaaaay more stuff available. Prices are in $USD obviously. Unfortunately, quite a lot of stuff on the site doesn't ship to Canada. Though I don't know if they've changed that in the last year or so...
Not sure about shipping costs, duties, refund policies.

Not sure about shipping costs, duties, refund policies.

Everything freebie has said plus American pricing is very consistently lower than the converted Canadian equivalent (doesn't seem to matter much what the exchange rate is). Also, I will add that duty (estimated) and your applicable taxes is calculated when you checkout from .com for orders to Canada. Any extra import fees you paid will be returned to you.

Refund policy from .com for international/Canadian orders may vary on the actual item(s) being returned however.

Their International Shipping help page doesn't detail return policy but you can find detailed info on shipping costs here (click Canada):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=help_search_1-1?ie=UTF8&nodeId=596184&qid=1332020220&sr=1-1

Depending on what you order it may be a better idea to just get it through amazon.ca or a Canadian retailer and avoid potential hassles especially if you're hoping for a manufacturer's warranty.

Go to the games tab and start a game. You don't even need to play it, wait 4-5 minutes then click back to games detail (either button works) and restart the game. Wait another 4-5 minutes and repeat the process. Every two times you do this, you'll get 2 SB.

I always get Amazon.ca 450SB but you can only get 5 per month. I am debating whether I should get the 450SB Amazon.com or 700SB Paypal once I max out the 5 Amazon.ca $5 GC. BTW, there will be no fee for Paypal even mine is a premier account, right ? Thanks for the advice :)

I believe you will have to get the Paypal. I never redeem for .com, but I remember someone reporting quite a bit back in this thread, that SB no longer allowed you to redeem for $5 amazon.com after you've maxed out on the $5 .ca each month. It is a total of 5 for .ca/.com combined each month.

Limit is 5 for Amazon but if you can go higher nomination like $10, as long there are 5 times. If you go Paypal, $10 (1,335sb) is cheaper than 2x$5 (2x700sb). I normally go 5 Amazon.ca, $10 and $5 Paypal per month.

Just got rewarded for 37sb for March Swagness Promo. What is that? I am not complaining, just wondering.

There was a thing on the main page each day (near the end of March) that had a target number of SB for you to reach each day. If you reached that amount, you got a bonus each day. I only noticed near the end of March. If you hit the target each day, they would double the bonus (I didn't hit the target each day, but got 61SB)

If you go to the main page, a little way down on the right, there is something that says "March Swagness has ended. A new earning challenge starts tomorrow".

That is where it showed your target each day. You can click on "check out your stats" and see what your goal was each day and how many you got that day. It looks like it started March 20, but I didn't notice it until much later!

this site and sites like it, are not worth my time.
If they want me to try apps, videos, games, sites, search using their engine, carry out daily routine tasks to accumulate points so then I can redeem a whole FIVE DOLLAR gift card to amazon or wherever, its NOT worth it simply because of the math

Add the $dollar value of what you redeem, ie the gift card
Divide by (Add all the time, effort, work you put into getting those points)
and if greater than $7/hour, you may have yourself a deal

HOWEVER, I guarantee you it will be significantly less than earning $7/hour. So if your that amazed at the deal they are offering you to 'work' over the internet, answering surveys and playing games, then get your ass up and go to Burger King and earn $7/hour (or more) and you can take that pay check and go a get a five dollar gift card to amazon or wherever.

Actually, what I meant was that I have never won anything over 39 SBs and I won that only once in 2 years. I do get the 7-12 SB wins now and then, usually once a day max but I don't search every day (not a frequent searcher at all but I read that behaviour hinders wins anyway).

I was curious what kind of searching patterns might yield higher wins more frequently since people are clearly winning 50 SBs etc. fairly often as can be seen in the activity box after every search.

It says it can be used in Canada on the SB page: can be used at over 9,000 locations all over the US, Canada, UK and Australia* but that *The value of this Gift Card can be loaded on to pre-existing Gift Cards in US only.

Early on, I got a Starbucks gift card from SB when they actually mailed out the physical cards. It was in U.S. funds, but worked here with no problem. I haven't gotten one since they switched to the e-cards, but if they say it works in Canada, I would think it does.

What is legit? You are running BOTs on SBTV, that is already 'not legit'. It is harder for them to catch if you use 1 account at the time. It is better to use fake and addresses for the accounts.

On the other note, both of my accounts are still active. :D Always cash out ASAP and redeem ASAP just in case you get banned.

I already received 5 x $5 amazon.ca and should be able to redeem a $25 Paypal end of next week. It works out $50/month/account so it's kind of tempting to get 2,3 or 4 accounts :razz:

Limit for SBTV is 50x3sb=150sb for the first account. The second account on the same IP is at 25x3sb=75sb. I know it is tempting but it's not worth it, play it safe. When maxes Amazon gc on the 1st, then use the 2nd account on Amazon gc. When the 2nd maxes out on Amazon gc, go back to 1st account for Paypal (like $25 nomination). That is my strategy for the last year. I still get banned every 6 months, so create extra accounts just in case.

Well, I'm sure they make varying degrees of sponsor/ad money depending on the activity: task, survey, videos, or searches. Some activities generate more revenue per user than others. Or $$ per click/impression, etc. I was mostly doing SBTV, daily polls, video bonuses, and games. I rarely did surveys -- hate those, I often get disqualified at some point. And there's no reward for being disqualified after 5-10 minutes. I'm guessing they make more sponsor money with surveys when they get a new user to sign up to a panel/company. Just a guess. Anyway, I was able to get 100 or near that many days on SBTV and that probably doesn't get enough return for them. Do they assume everyone who can get a lot from SBTV of using a "bot"? It is possible to rack up points without one if you'll be on your computer for much of the day!

Regarding the surveys, they pass onto us a LOT LESS than they actually get. I belong to a number of survey sites and get on average $40/month from them. Often a SB survey will come up that I've already done directly with the survey company. The number of SB that are offered are a lot less than you'd get if you were doing the survey directly with the survey site (if you did the $ conversion) so they are keeping a good portion of the 'profit' for themselves.

It is like that with almost everything I'm sure - they are passing onto us a small portion of what they are earning from us.

Regarding your earlier post about being banned without doing anything. It happened to me once too. I've never used bots and have only ever had 1 account. I was banned and they said I'd missed 30 captchas during search. I entered every captcha I saw and never skipped any so don't know what that was about. They did reactivate my account and I haven't done a search since.

I see what you mean now, are we generating $ for them since there are ads on the SBTV page as well as other pages ?

I personally think the 150 SB costs too much if you do it manually since you have to click on the video every so often for hours. I certainly can't get anything done that way. Anyways, hope your new account will never be banned. :)

Thanks, you pretty much backed up my suspicions about the best margin activity for them.

And I was deactivated a couple months ago too. I'm not missing captchas either. I asked why stating I didn't do anything against their terms of use and they reactivated me within an hour after they "rechecked their information". Not so this time, unfortunately, but I'm not doing anything differently! I don't know if I am going to make another account at this point. If I did do I need to create all fictitious info as I used real info before? Do they allow people to sign up again (if I used the same legit info again)? Anyone know?

Actually SB suggested people to create another account with different email. They suggested me that when I got banned for the 1st time last year. If you don't plan to order any physical items from SB, I strongly recommend you NOT to use real info. Make it up. SB will never know it. You get banned for being legit, I suggest you not to be legit. Google for bot/script for SB. If you get banned for this, at least you make some sb aka money via SBTV.

It does take some time, but if I was only going to join 1, it would probably be webperspectives.ca. They allow you to cash out at $10 and pay by paypal. Their points seem to stay 'pending' quite a while after you earn them, but I usually cash out $20/month just from them. For them 1,000 points = $10 and all the surveys they send are either 150 or 200 points, so it doesn't take too many. I don't usually screen out of many of their surveys either.

I find SB support for surveys is pretty awful IMO. I've had surveys malfunction when they were 100% complete and when submitting them I got an error page and 0SB. I'm pretty sure SB got their payment, but I got nothing and their help was useless and just replied several times with a canned answer about surveys being designed by outside companies for different purposes and not everyone would be eligible for each survey. They responded with a similar answer each time I replied (with screenshots) showing them I had qualified and completed 100% of the survey.

There is absolutely no reason to save your swagbucks.. Everything other than the $5 amazon gift card is overpriced.
I mean look the PS VITA they sell it for 35,000 SB and the console is $250.
Look at the 8GB iPod Touch.. apparently they sell it for 50,000 with a half sale making it 25,000 when a 8 GB iPod Touch is $200
Nintendo 3DS - 28,000 and it's $170

The higher something is worth (other than gift cards) is way overpriced.

Your best bet is to either get Amazon gift cards or paypal cash. never save up

If they detected you were using something like a bot/reloader, they won't reactivate the account.

I'm one of the people they did reactivate for, but in my case it was because they said I skipped a bunch of captchas when doing searches (which I didn't). They reactivated and I haven't done a search since.

That never happen to me but thanks for the tips. :) I would be really mad if I wasn't credited the 112 SB C-level survey from paymentwall since I never screenshot any survey I took.

no video too ? I will give it a try then. :)

Does it make sense to get the $7.99 Bell grab & go for 3 months to operate 2(4) accounts with different ip ?

What's the bandwidth/cap limit for G&G? Swagbucks has been on their game recently. banning all my new accounts that I make after being de-activated.

Today they fulfilled 2 gift cards on my new account, luckily I added them quickly because that account was banned 2-3 hrs later.


anyone know what the chances are of reactivation of an account? i only have 1 and it got deactivated. stupid thing is that i actually saved up points too (had over 14000) since i only recently started redeeming amazon cards
Suxor, I learned that when getting banned after redeeming for a $25 GC. I wish they brought back the 50 SB Express Redemption options. Now I just redeem for $5 amazon and then $10 paypal (so the balance never goes over 1400). If you used a refresher, you won't be reactivated, I gave it a shot earlier in the week too.


Your account with Swagbucks has been deactivated for violating our terms of use.

Our compliance team has determined that you have been exploiting SBTV by using an auto-refresher program and/or on-line iFrame program (off of Swagbucks.com) to continuously run SBTV to earn Swag Bucks in your account.

Can you apply more than one Amazon gift card when you purchase an item on Amazon.ca?

Yes. Just add the gift cards to your Amazon account IMMEDIATELY when swagbucks posts them to your account. Your balance in your Amazon account will keep going up as you add gift cards and you can use whatever balance you have when you want to buy something. More than once I've bought items that were a couple hundred dollars on amazon.ca fully paid for by the gift cards I got from swagbucks.

Hehe, I am not searching anything new, just the same items in my history like yahoo.ca, redflagdeals, superpoints, etc. I have been using the same items with Swagbucks since day 1. Like my earlier posts, I got 2 or 3 times with 50sb, never 59sb before. I don't do special quotes or random search. I useally got 4 search wins everyday until recently it's hard to get 4 times now. I am happy with daily polls, toolbar, NOSO, SBTV, random videos for over 100sb. If I get 120sb a day I am happy. I don't do surveys as it's waiste of time (in my opinion). I ratherr do surveys on OO, WP for Paypal than SB.

For anyone that successfully place an order with Vistaprint and used the coupon (and qualifies for the Swagbucks/Trialpay promo: 250 business cards, paid with credit/debit card) make sure you follow up and get the Swagbucks.

As I said in the Vistaprint thread, clicking an external link (i.e. the one provided on the Swagbucks/Trialpay page) will alter your prices (i.e. the freebies turn into non-freebies), but that isn't an issue. As long as you order the cards and pay using cc or db, send Trialpay a support ticket, and copy and paste your confirmation email from Vistaprint and supply any other information they need (order number, mailing address, payment method) and you should get a email from Trialpay the next day saying that they'll credit your Swagbucks account.

There is absolutely no reason to save your swagbucks.. Everything other than the $5 amazon gift card is overpriced.
I mean look the PS VITA they sell it for 35,000 SB and the console is $250.
Look at the 8GB iPod Touch.. apparently they sell it for 50,000 with a half sale making it 25,000 when a 8 GB iPod Touch is $200
Nintendo 3DS - 28,000 and it's $170

The higher something is worth (other than gift cards) is way overpriced.

Your best bet is to either get Amazon gift cards or paypal cash. never save up

Anyone know at around what time of the year they do "promos" on giftcards? (Or do the promotions just occur at random times).
I really want to pull the trigger on Paypal cash as opposed to Amazon gift cards since I don't use Amazon all that much, but the Paypal stuff is way overpriced as you said.

In almost 3 years on the site, I was asked for my phone number once (and that was after there was a video in the special offers that we were able to get a couple hundred swagbucks from - probably was a glitch, but it worked). I did the cell phone verification that time and I had no problems and have never been asked again.

I've never been asked for address verification.

This is the 2nd time I've ordered something from SB. The first time, they asked for my address for verification and this time they want to verify by phone number (i.e. they will send me a text via phone).

How do they verify your address ? don't tell me you need to provide bills to proof that you live at the provided address I rather not use SB anymore if they need that. If it's just phone verification I am fine with that.

I did something real dumb today and was rejected at record time for the daily survey. They clearly says the survey is about Toronto newspapers and I select "none of the above" for the 1st question which has the Stars, Suns, global & mail. :(

It happens sometimes when you're trying to get through the survey asap!

I know...that was some of the easiest SB ever. I was surprised it was so short.

Trusted survey about Muppet Movie for 75SB is OK too. A big SB day for me today. :)

Still getting Captch for search and SBTV though, seems endless....

I hadn't had a Trusted Survey for a while, but today I also got the Muppet Movie one and another for 100SB about Lady and the Tramp. 175 + 60 for the daily survey made it a pretty good day!

That's because I am too used to select "none of the above" for many surveys that ask which industry your job belongs to and I thought it's the same type of question. :facepalm:
