Screw Swagbucks

Swagbucks has been the GPT/beermoney site that I've been using the longest. I started using these sites in October 2016, to make some money since I wasn't working. Swagbucks was the first of these sites I've ever used.

Everything has taken a hit and all the payouts across every activity has been lowered so much that it's not worth using the site anymore. And the most recent BS from Support has pissed me off so much that I'm not going to continue using this site, once I get my final Amazon card within the next few days.

1. Videos have been changed so that now you have to watch 2 hours of useless garbage to make 2 pennies. 2 PENNIES! I can find more change on the ground!
2. Surveys have been disqualifying or just flat out NOT paying 9 times out of 10, ALL the time now! Not only does that make it a waste of time, it also makes it so that no one wants to do surveys. Also makes it so that NO ONE wants to refer anyone to such a shitty site!
3. Offers. Honest to God, don't bother doing offers. They rarely ever pay out. Let me put it to you this way: if you complete, I mean all requirements of the offer, and complete 20 offers a day, completely... you're lucky if ANY of them pay you. I don't bother with trials or paid offers, as they always find some way to fuck you over.
4. SWAGO - Useless. They basically want you to buy shit or do activities that don't pay out. I haven't been able to complete a SINGLE Swago board, EVER. And for the last 4 months, I haven't even been able to get a SINGLE row to complete. It's so stupid.
5. Search wins are a waste of time. I used to get 4 a day every day. I swear to everything holy, that since January of this year, I haven't been able to get more than 1 search win a day. Why the hell are they nerfing that, too?
6. Shop & Earn, it sucks. I used to use it when I bought shows on DVD every year, but now they've excluded so many things on the list, that it's hard to earn. Also, they make you wait a month, sometimes more than that, to pay you for whatever you bought? What the hell is the point of that? Why the fuck would I bother using the stupid shop when I have to wait a month, or longer, to get paid for it? Also, they've started to use their stock excuse to keep from paying members. I know you know their stock excuse: "We can't track your purchases!" Bullshit. I've sent them screenshots of orders, order numbers, all the emails about the products I bought, and they just give the runaround. FUCK THAT.

The thing for me that was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak, is how they refuse to credit one of the two high paying surveys I've done recently. I completed a $5 survey on Swagbucks today, spent 1 hour and 50 minutes, almost TWO FUCKING HOURS, watching 2 40 minute episodes of some stupid reality show, which I hate to begin with, and then spent time answering all the questions about the show, rated the show, and then didn't get paid.

I took a screenshot of the survey number and amount, before I started the survey. And when I was done, I took a screenshot of the complete/success page, which included the survey number, but they STILL won't fucking pay me! They gave me their usual stock excuse, "We can't track your activity." Fuck that! I sent you fucking screenshots of proof, including survey numbers, before and after I completed it, WITH the success banner! That's some bullshit there.

And I'm done bitching now. I'm waiting/hoping for one final survey to pay out, another $5 survey that I've been waiting for a response for, since August 30th. I'm getting so sick of this runaround or "Can't track your activity" bullshit.
