I don't believe you can earn $1 within 30 minutes constantly. Even within 1 hour, I don't believe you can earn $1 from SB constantly. If you need to do 2 surveys in order to meet goal, I believe I can put the same effort to earn $2 from other sites.
I have done survey's in the past....spent like 10 min doing it only to say sorry you don't qualify. Haven't done another one since.

This situation can happen from other sites too. It is very hard to avoid it. Nonetheless, some survey is designed this way, so you can only avoid it by experience.

1. go to the watch home page and you get the big picture with the 10 second count down. https://www.swagbucks.com/watch
2. when it gets to 0, press the button. you should get 2 windows, one with the video and the other that tracks them. they will auto play. (adserver.entertainow.com)
3. first batch auto plays for around 95sb, then it stops and says something about being inactive.
4. then go to the ncrave page, and click the 1sb offer on the page. https://www.swagbucks.com/ncrave
5. you will have to individually click through the 11-12 pages to get it to credit 1sb.
6. the next series will be a ~5 video series for 1sb that autoplays (discovery mode).
7. after this credits, it will auto load the same series as before. (adserver.entertainow.com)

Well ... I tried not too long ago ... The Browser video (Editor's Pick (not Choice lol) / Swag TV (as they were showing in my Swag TV menu (as they did on occasion before, even though they didn't play when try to play them ... for over a week now) ... - so i decided to try play them / one of them, and see what happens this time.

Didn't have much hope of course ... but clicked on one set in Editor's Pick ... and it started to play ... lol ... Finally! (they un-soft-banned me or what? .. got no clue!) ... Finishing one set now ... - on it's last video to earn SB ... then will check if SB awarded...

NOW ... somewhat later maybe, as I am leaving soon -- I can try that nCrave thingy .... -- that Watch / 10 seconds countdown ... and then press button and hope for some auto loop to kick in ... haha

that (or whatever it is) ... C/P:

...... (adserver.entertainow.com)
3. first batch auto plays for around 95sb, then it stops and says something about being inactive.
4. then go to the ncrave page, and click the 1sb offer on the page. https://www.swagbucks.com/ncrave

Skeptical of course (as I am skeptical by nature) ... but, I guess we'll see :D

Would need to play with it ... experiment maybe ... as I am not totally even sure 100% how it's gonna work ... as never experienced it before.

Anyhow ....... Good news for me, for now, anyways :)

P.S.

There ... the Editor's Pick video set just completed .. and I was awarded my earned SB ... I looked in my earnings ... and it's there / it has been awarded promptly ..

Noticed the video sets didn't change (much) from over a week ago (when they changed them / cut them down from the ones we had before) ...

The only difference I noticed now ----- is another 3 SB video set in Editor's Pick ... but this one's duration is like over 1 hour .. and contains 30 videos, lol.

St-Fabien de Panet, …
Did the FlixSport Stream free trial on Offer Toro for 250 SB. Used a prepaid VISA gift card. It credited instantly and cancellation link was right on the top right after logging in.

Declined on Kelloggs Visa card with 0 balance.

I wonder if a PayPower MC prepaid card with a 0 balance can go negative because of this?
Cards:HSBC WE MC 1.5%/3% travel 0 FX MC acceptance 31 day med AF $49
CTC WE MC 3% grocery, 3.54% CTC, RA, billpay, AF $0
MBNA RWE 5.4% grocery/resto
Bank: EQ (1.5%)

I just replied back to them:

"Ya ... That sucks .. as i didn't do anything.

BUT .. .check my previous correspondence below (I think it's in quotes below) from yesterday ... I wrote to you that Videos started to work for a day or two .. and then again disappeared.

If I am maybe blocked by them / you - 3rd party or whoever else (whatever you indicated in your reply) ... why did videos start to work for a day or two then?"

So ... :)

I never played those game before ... never even looked at that section "Play" ... what's there ... :)

Now, not long ago ... I went there ... and I think I see what you guys are talking about ... - Some dinosaur run / jump, some kinda Jump for money ... and some memory game ..

Says make up to 10 SB (at each game)

So ... I started / tried to play dino run ... not too good at it ... but suddenly made 2 SB ... then after a while another 2 SB ... and so it went ... until I see I made 2SB x 5 ... :)

Then I stopped playing ...

and now i see this in my earnings / activity ... 10 SB added - C/P:

02/08/19
Play
+2 SB
02/08/19
Play
+2 SB
02/08/19
Play
+2 SB
02/08/19
Play
+2 SB
02/08/19
Play
+2 SB

Questions:

1) I earned 10 SB now from Dino Run ( 2 x 5 ) ... if I keep on playing it ... any way I'll earn any more this same day?

2) At each game it says "earn up to 10 SB" ... -- If I go and play, say, Jump for coins ... or ... Memory game ... - any way to earn any more SB (in addition to already made 10 SB) this same day ... or I'll earn ZERO SB from those 3 games now ... now that I already earned 10 SB

3) 10 SB is max per day (for all 3 games) ... or is it any possible for example to make 10 SB x 3 = 30 SB (10 SB max. per game)?

Looks like they screwed up with SwagCode today ... and maybe it won't be posted at all ... there was notification in Swagbutton earlier ... but they forgot the code ... and the code given for shopping at some merchant for 15% is invalid for daily SwagCode.

Hopefully they'll compensate us somehow (re: the screwed up code) ... with some other code ... or double code for tomorrow ... but if it happens - it happens ... not getting hope too high other than that :)

Swagbucks Canada screwed again, by the looks of it ... Show us some love here, up north... lol!
