My account was credited within a day of submitting my receipt for the item I requested a coupon for. Only bad thing is that only get one coupon per month which doesn't help accumulate much, but good.
I do all of my searches using swagbucks, but having to go through the proving I am not a robot thing gets irritating every day. Also, getting only a point or two for videos is not worth my time every day. I try to take a survey when I have time, but often I don't qualify which does not motivate me to try.
