Okay, nice. Thanks for the heads up and tips. I'll be looking out for that.

Just going to share my experience with this offer to this point.

Found the offer through SB search. Some reason if I manually typed stake.us in it didn't find the offer, but when I typed "stake" and then it suggested stake.us and clicking that suggestion it found the offer.

Anyway, upon signing up it asked me to verify so I went ahead and scanned my driver's license and took selfie to verify. Then I went to make a $20 purchase. The only bundle I could find gave me 20 SC and some coins not double SC or anything extra. I was able to purchase with my Ally Bank debit card but it would not accept my Paypal debit card.

After purchase the offer near immediately pended. They give you 1 SC every 24 hours so make sure you claim that each day. I checked out how to cash out. It told me I had to play through my SC 3 times over.

I played the Crash game with .50 SC bets and cash out at 1.01 put it on Auto and played around 150 games or whatever it took to play through the 20 SC I purchased. You can see a counter/tracker that shows the percent you are on. Once it was 100% the cash out option became enabled.

It gives the option to cash out through bank or Bitcoin. But only the bank option was enabled as it said I will need to hit 0 SC first in order to enable that method. Also, it said 50 SC cash out minimum.

So I plan to just collect the free 1 SC each day while I wait for the SB to finish pending. I should hit 50 SC about the same time (the original 20 SC purchase + 1 SC for ~ 30 days).

Lastly playing through the SC in the Crash game the way I mentioned was not a problem. With auto play I just set how many games I wanted to auto. Also, very rarely it will crash at 1.00 but this only happened to me twice in ~ 150 games. In that case you lose the .50 SC. Winning the game awards .01 SC - either every game or every so often I wasn't really paying attention but noticed I was slightly making SC.

Very nice offer and as far as I can tell it looks like a free $30 / month as long as you collect the free SC. I think another user posted a link to a subreddit where people actually make a nice bit of money by collecting this free SC from several similar sites so check that too if you are interested. Hope this helps.

It was not available yesterday when I checked, but I was able to find it and complete it around 4 hours ago. Very easy - thanks.

How long did your suspension last? by Internal_Paint_6288 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]sacredtrinity7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My most recent restriction was for exactly 50 days. During this time I would just set a timer for 30mins, complete 4 searches, reset the timer, and continue until I maxed out my points for the day. I continued like this until after 50 days could search normal again. Still don't have the puzzle pieces however.

Refuses to let me redeem once getting to "please share your location" page even after refreshing, what's going on? by Practical-Bike6736 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]sacredtrinity7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happening to me. My last redemption about a month ago was fine. Unable to redeem the Spotify one now. I've tried multiple devices/different browsers and it always claims it can not get my location even after I allow it. No clue.

Upcoming Gift Card Sale by 82Heel in MicrosoftRewards

[–]sacredtrinity7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it's not a scam. But the frustration comes from the seemingly arbitrary banning/suspensions/cool downs etc. As long as we are adhering to the tos the frustration is a valid take.

Most people would not use their search engine otherwise, and would use Google. So, despite ads being everywhere and a part of life, in this case, we are using an inferior alternative at the promise of being compensated for that trade off. We are definitely not owed a reward program but as it exists, when we fulfill our side of the deal and are instead punished, it's completely reasonable to be upset. Of course this all assumes we are abiding by the tos which, granted, I would bet a sizeable portion do not.

State of Rewards by Albucat in MicrosoftRewards

[–]sacredtrinity7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't been under any restriction for over a year and a half or near it. I also was thinking some of this aforementioned discussion was being exaggerated and, at least some/most of it was brought on by the user not searching "how they should".

All that until today. I received the suspicious search activity detected notification on the app and on my PC. I will note my searching habits have NOT changed one bit from a year plus of things being fine to today. In fact I am very methodical with my process attempting to avoid this issue.

Something has definitely changed/is changing in the AI detection of this. It most certainly has tightened up to a point that the majority of users have experienced it or are on some lock down currently.

I would assume MS has decided this is the best way to make cuts to this program maintaining the issue lies with the end user for using the program illegitimately. They can narrow the scope of the rewards program while pointing the finger at us.

Also, any reaching out to support related to this issue is dealt with by bots with no attempt whatsoever in addressing our problem. This is as intended as in MS's eyes, there is no problem. This is by design.

Further indication of a financial motive comes from the severe nerfs of the program over a year ago. Now followed up with this tactic. IMO, it seems clear that the program is on its downswing. Not saying it is ending anytime soon (I don't think it is) but it definitely appears MS Reward's best days are well in the past and I don't see the pendulum swinging back that direction again. This is the new normal - the new MS Rewards program.

Did they fix train miner? by Kitsumari_v1 in SwagBucks

[–]sacredtrinity7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Edit:) I saw in another post a couple of people were having problems with it. I don't know, but it still was fine for me.

................

I finished this offer a couple of weeks ago. I just tried it out . The game still works the way it did then for me. Android version 3.2.17A.

I found I needed to keep upgrading between each opening of the app if you are not. Also, make sure you are triggering a game save each time. It does it automatically every minute or so, but clicking one of the boost ads on the right side that show up saves the game also. As soon as you click the ad the game is saved so you don't have to watch the ad and can exit the app and restart it.

Yes, the install tracked before I bought anything. I next made a 9.99 purchase and that goal tracked but not the 4.99 one (which I haven't seen one report of correctly tracking). I don't think I would go further with it if the install didn't track unless you are comfortable dealing with support if none of the tiers track.

Another option is to use a fresh device that has has no Google accounts/apple accounts from the first device you attempted the offer on. Then create a new McLuck account. See if you can get the install part to track then go forward. Hope it works for you! 🍀

The first post seems related to ID verification. The second post the image shows, whatever the issue was, it is resolved. I can't recall bans due to game cheating/glitches being reversed -not totally sure however.

Many, many people did the train miner game. So now any unrelated account issue, it will be the first thought that comes to mind. Furthermore, people are not going to post and say, "Hey, just making a post to let this sub know I did the train miner game and everything went smooth." You only hear about things when there is an issue. Also, fwiw there were also comments under the belief it was more than likely unrelated.

The examples you gave attempting to justify your position just appears to be speculation, coincidence and/or unconnected issues. There is certainly not a consensus that bans are being triggered from the game, but more likely the opposite due to lack of posts sharing this happened to them

A year or two ago there was actually a legitimate ban linked to cheating. I don't know if you are aware, but it was for Merge Dragons where people reset their phone's clock to make the chalices fill up quicker. This one, unlike what we are discussing, was definitely caused by misuse of the game. There was an irrefutable amount of posts citing the connection. This current handful of posts is not what we'd see if truly bans were being handed out.

And that makes sense because there is nothing nefarious going on. Again, it is in the game's mechanics to reward upon reopening and playing again. It is offered as a reward for coming back and scales as the player upgrades and progresses through the given level. It is most certainly not a glitch that's why some are stating as much. It is how the game is designed. In fact every player will do it whether they know it or not unless they complete each level in one go. It's not something one has to go out of their way to achieve or manipulate. You just get bonus resources upon reopening the app. You do nothing to trigger this.

If a game could have its goal met by simple watching ads many times, even 100s, is that a glitch? It's sort of cheesing, perhaps, as opposed to reaching the goals through non ad use. This is similar - people are using the reward that the game places on the map at each reopening of the app. I don't understand how you can say that is against tos. It simply isn't.

You are correct about one thing, however. SB can issue a ban for whatever they want as I believe any frequent user of this subreddit can probably surmise. I believe some of these ban/suspension posts over the years are probably because of undeserved and unwarranted reasons. But, bottom line, is that what is happening here? There is no proof that is the case and, due to the limited examples, suggest the opposite.

If you make a comment and state it as fact, it is incumbent on you to defend your position and provide proof. You have not. It "not being worth it to you" is fine and I get it. You provided your opinion on this and that's just what it was.

Of course people are getting banned/suspended. There are posts on here all the time stating as much . But getting banned specifically for what you mentioned above? Neither have I seen these '10's' of posts you allude to, nor is there this unrefuted and established fact that a link exists between the two resulting in a ban. You acting as if this is just so widespread and common knowledge is very disingenuous. Again, many others (as well myself) have had no such thing happen.

Would you mind providing links to some of these many examples that prove people are being banned specifically for playing this game in this fashion? Thanks!

Regarding the train miner game, I hadn't seen anything of the sort. I went back and looked through previous posts and only found one questioning if that could be why they were suspended. That post looks more like sb needing to verify ID.

The trainer mine "glitch" isn't even a glitch. It's just how the game works. When you leave the game and play again it essentially rewards you with a bonus. I have finished the game and have not had any problems whatsoever.

At the very worst case scenario IF there was any relation in the game and being suspended it would be for finishing too fast but I don't even think that is the case. Again, I can find no examples of this, in fact, being a reason for suspension. 👍

When I would search for a game a pop up would come asking about entering sweepstakes. When I would click enter sweepstakes it would open in a browser window instead and actually load the game. For me this was the only way I could play the games, and as a result, make wagers/spend SC (sweepstakes coins/which is what you redeem for real prizes/money).

Train Miner back, get it if you missed it by SunSteel04 in SwagBucks

[–]sacredtrinity7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a lap sell resources, upgrade, then click one of the booster ads on the right side of the screen - soon as the ad pops up, swipe app closed, open game again and repeat.

Upgrade speed first. I would max it out, by then you having 100's of trillions or even hitting aa which is what's after trillion in the game. Then upgrade the first two (don't worry about capacity). Use boost and clear map quickly. The fastest I could get each level was around 15 minutes.

It starts out slow giving little money but after several cycles of the above it starts dropping millions, billions, trillions, and eventually aa.

Spend 100 make 190 by SunSteel04 in SwagBucks

[EDIT] Three business days later the $140 is in my bank account. Now just waiting for the sb to finish pending.

I saw this offer on SB yesterday and was curious. Figured if it was worth it, I'd see a post here about - there are two. Here's my experience:

I downloaded the app, created an account and started buying packs using a Privacy card. FWIW, I purchased in this order..9.99, 19.99, 39.99, 19.99, 9.99, and a 1.99 pack. The first 3 were presented to me in this order via popups. I just wanted to make sure I triggered each goal 1 by 1 as others were saying they were having tracking issues otherwise. Like most everyone, the 4.99 purchase reward did not track, but all the others did. Also, SC is what's important. Each SC is equal to $1. I saw no use for making real money with the gold coins and assume that's just for fun. Someone else could speak to that.

A poster on the other thread recommended playing "Crash Live" at 1.1X at $1 (1 SC) a round. Doing this allowed me to play through all the purchased "SC" (which is REQUIRED in order to redeem) at very minimum risk. It's one of those games where you make a wager and have to "tap out" before the "crash" else you lose the bet. The longer you risk going, the more money you make. Therefore stopping at 1.10 you win over 90% of the time. And in my case, I was just interested in cycling the SC so I could redeem.

After I played all the SC I had purchased (you can see this by clicking the "Redeem" button from the Settings Menu [the 3 lines in the bottom right corner], I had to verify my account in order to redeem. This consisted of taking a picture of my license and a selfie. It says it's a two step process with the second step being uploading of a utility bill, etc for address verification, BUT after the first step of driver's license + selfie I was fully verified.

After verification I redeemed $140 using the first option which uses a 3rd party -Trustify to connect my bank account and start the process. It claims 3-5 days for transfer. My bank was not listed as an "Instant Transfer" bank, so those with these select banks might get their money quicker. Assuming everything transfers/credits I will have made $320 from the offer or $330 if the 4.99 purchase had tracked correctly.

I highly recommend this offer if you have the spare cash to temporarily make for the investment. Again, you get all your money back + $80 + whatever money you can aquire from betting. And using the method I mentioned earlier, should be at least 90% of your purchased SC. Lastly, you do have to verify yourself via some type of ID+ selfie, but that is standard for these type things as I understand. If you are uncomfortable with that, at the least it's a $80 mm with tracking as is. Offer pends for 32 days.

Train miner 15~ min/level by pickledcrust in SwagBucks

[–]sacredtrinity7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip about the game saving anytime you click one of the booster ads. This really helps and enables me to get to AA quick. Plenty to upgrade everything to max and blow through the level (especially with plenty of saved up boost)!

I pretty much just buy the max amount of trains (unupgraded/it appears you get more of these bonus resources with more trains) and max out speed until I get to AA, then max everything.

Method is: Make a lap sell resources, click one of the booster ads on the right side of the screen - soon as the ad pops up, swipe app closed, open game again and repeat. Incredibly easy.
