I bet you thought I'd abandoned you :P No, No, I've thought of you guys every day! I've just been dealing with a lot of health issues this past week. Myself, my husbands, I've been in no shape to post.
However! I'm back, and I'm going to wrap up the special offers segment. Because Tomorrow! I have to show off some of the awesome new features SwagBucks had rolled out this week!
Ok.. *shuffles around papers in her head* where was i... *mutters and pushes her glasses up her nose until - * Oh yes! TapJoy. YAAAYY *laughs with a slight edge of irony*
Ok I really tried to come up with something positive about TapJoy. Really, I did. I kind of have some mediocre feedback about some features but basically, it still boils down to- I can't get TapJoy to credit or to respond to inquiries. This is just.. it's gotten ridiculous. They won't respond, there's no way to view an open ticket, only to submit another request which also gets ignored, then the inquiry gets closed out because of no activity. And you lose your swagbucks.
But let's just, push through this shall we, and shine rose colored lights on the spots that we can!
This is the TapJoy wall. It has All, Free, Survey of the Day, Shopping, Daily Deals, and More tabs. The green Missing Swagbucks button on the right is where you go to see your inquiry list *chuckle*. More on that later.
I guess we can start with Survey of the Day.
On this one I gt disqualified for being a 34 year old female LOL. At least it was quick. I've only qualified for one so far. Sometimes if you DQ (disqualify) and refresh the offer page, try again. Sometimes it will be a different survey. If it's not, when you start the survey, you will be instantly DQ'd.
I did manage to qualify for one survey last week. As I said though, it only credited for 68. I was happy for it though! Getting swagbucks from TapJoy is RARE!
This is the Shopping tab. I didn't do any of the offers because without a regular income, I can't spend money to earn swagbucks. :)
Here you see the Daily Deals tab. Good things to jump on if you have disposable income. I didn't try any shopping or daily deals though, sorry.
I wanted to show you a successful offer. I have tried, and tried, and I am not going to post a whole list of fails. It's too depressing *chuckle*.I did screenshot an offer with a virus though. I knew it would have a virus, relied on my Zone Alarm Extreme Security to do it's job- and it did!
When you press the green "Missing Swagbucks?" button it takes you to a list of offers. It looks like you complete them all! However it's just that they list the completed offers first, and the open offers / ones with inquiries last. Above shows a typical fail. 6 offers, none credited. Well, the next day 3 credited, 3 did not. All the same type of offer- click through to a sponsored link. Really, 50% credit is GOOD for TapJoy - Bad in the real world!
Check these out. 3 open inquiries from October that have yet to get a response. There are three or four more that just went POOF, despite me having to open multiple tickets to attempt to get them to respond. No Response, and POOF. No more action I can take. YAY!
Anyway, find the offer you are looking to get credited, and click the Contact TapJoy link on the right.
Here I gave them screenshots proving the offer has a malicious virus and needs to be removed. No response.. and the offers are still there. YAY!
I got so frustrated by TapJoy last week that I did something I've never done before. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. If I count just the offers they haven't made vanish, they owe me serveral hundred swagbucks that I *seriously* doubt I will ever see. One offer is for 162. That one I will be reporting to SwagBucks in a few days if I still get no response.
Hmm! Well, that's all the screenshots I have for TapJoy. Not much rose colored light there huh? Sorry!
I also managed to pluck up and do a Gambit task for you. I'm just going to post a list of screenshots. In the task I had to go through 10 pages with 4 items on each page. You have to get an 80 accuracy to be credited. I made it all the way to 50% with 100% accuracy, then I started tanking. The answers they wanted became more specific, though the links / videos they were telling you to look at had more than one possible answer, depending on the observer. So, needless to say, I failed. I felt tricked, hoodwinked. Fished lol. So I wrote them feedback saying the task was not fair because after 50% completion the questions became too subjective for a single objective correct answer, therefore impossible to finish with 80% accuracy.
In the end they emailed me back, saying they reset my accuracy to 100%, and I could try the task again. Well, yay. I can start all over and still not get through. PASS. For now. Maybe tomorrow ... :P
In this task you click a link and it takes you to a search page. You also click the video link. Compare the search results with the video it's chosen for you, and tell Gambit what level of relevance the search terms had to do with the actual video watched, and what the quality of the video was.
That's pretty much it. Most tasks are far more detailed and involved than this, from my experience. I will admit- this is the first one I ever completed. I have a problem with earning 30-60 cents an hour :P That's how the math works out for me, time spent, swagbucks potentially earned, and what those swagbucks add up to when converted to Amazon Gift Card currency rates :P
Let me leave you with an upbeat, positive note.
I ordered my stepsons Christmas presents YAY! And it was all FREE, with my free trial of Amazon Prime giving me free shipping on most items through Christmas, and my swagbucks AGC balance! I also bought a piece of his present at eBay last night, using PayPal money earned from- you guessed it - Swag Bucks! Love! Swoon! Joy!
If anyone reading this is not yet a member of Swagbucks, but wants to get on the swagtrain and start earning the free loot, there's no time like the present! Just go to the swidget , up top on the right there, press the Sign Up button on the bottom right. Fill out a short form, confirm your email, and get 30 swagbucks to get you rolling! Then come back here and start with October's second blog post, "Beginner Tips for Swagsurfing!", for tips on how to get started!
Well this was short and not so sweet. I'll be getting back into the swing of things tomorrow with some great news about New Swag Bucks Features! HUZZAH!!
Until then Swagfriends,
HAPPY SWAGSURFING!
