at self!
I thought I'd multi-task while on here by also swagging.
Did some searches and I saw the reward popped up!
Continued with my searches a bit as I was still looking for something.
Went to check my points and was surprised there was nothing from the search.
Then I realized I forgot to claim the reward!
I've closed the tab when the reward popped up and I have no idea if I can retrieve it back
Really, I should just concentrate on one thing and forget about multi-tasking!

I have done that from time to time. I hated it. I am really enjoying having MyLot and SB as reliable sites.

Phew - ok, I see that it wasn't 900 SBs (that would be quite a win for a search - and quite a loss if you lost that!). I'm pretty sure I've done that before - kicked my own swagbutt for it - ha ha. But 9 can be made up for pretty easily - no sweat!

@sishy7 You'd do the same thing I would... Get peeved, then mad, then shrug is off and go on... Nothing else you CAN do!

I haven't forgotten to claim them, but I have had the page mess up after I had won them, and when I refreshed I could not get them back. I agree that is frustrating. What I find more frustrating, though, is when I do NCrave and it fails to credit, especially when that happens multiple times in a row.

@sishy7 They are very frustrating at times, but they can help to increase your earnings rather quickly. I can't run them on my computer while I am here on myLot, but they will run while I am working on other sites.

I don't bother with nCrave... My NetBook sticks when it tries to run a couple of the things on Sb, especially if I am also doing ANYTHING else on it! nCrave happens to be the worst one! Their page just stops counting points... everything else about keeps running, though!
I dislike not being able to run more than one of their earnings things on this pc at once, especially when I see Pretty running six things on her gaming pc all at once! One is a movie and another is a forum discussion while Sb programs are the other four things running!

Sorry to hear that. I used to have a swagbucks account, but I gave it up a while back as it didn't seem to be right for me. I just couldn't spend enough time with it or get enough out of it. But I have been known to work on jobs on other sites, only to find out later that I never accepted the job before-hand, so I didn't get paid. grumble, gripe. hehe

@Novelangel I did the same thing once, but ONLY once! I was so mad at myself that I wouldn't do any more jobs for about a week, then went back and knocked out several one right after another! SEEING the pay for those roll in blip, blip and blip was NICE!

Uhm... @sofssu may I ask what country you live in? Everyone else's country is displayed by their name... Why isn't yours?

I'll tell you something else that is just as funny, @sishy7 !
I wasn't even working on Sb when looking something up for WA. I hit one of those "You've found however many Sb!" (Or whatever it really says.) Since I was trying to look something up I NEEDED for WA, I left that tab open and continued my search.
I pulled that tab back up a few minutes later to find the message, "Where did you go? These things time out, you know!" and it wouldn't let me claim the points, either!

Oh no, that is definitely frustrating! I didn't realize that they timed-out, but then again I am so excited when I get one that I grab it as quickly as possible before they have time to realize that they might have made a mistake.

@DaddyEvil Oh, I've never come across such finding yet - but thanks for telling me it's timed so perhaps I wouldn't have to find it the hard way... like you did!

I LOVE the emoji'sI've never used them before online. Either sites don't allow them or I can't figure out where/how people are getting them., but yeah, just like @crazyhorselady , I have difficulty figuring out what the conversation is about if someone actually uses them as PART of the conversation instead of just showing emotions WITH the conversation! (emoji: Frustration!)

Reward? For searches? On here? Am I missing something?

@helenrich The old version of myLot had random reward for searches.

I like multi tasking.I am being more productive a day doing it.
Searching in swagbucks is not available in my country,good for you to have tried that.
I only do the videos,daily poll and Daily NOSO.
You need to be extra careful next time not close the tab immediately.

@cgalavia You also must claim the Sb within 30 seconds or you lose it, too!
Well, yes and no in reference to how easy it is to earn Sb from doing surveys... I seem to be too old for almost all surveys. Most kick me out after I answer the question asking my age range. (I'm 51.)

I lost one of mine once. I guess it's not shown too long before it disappears,

Yes, that is true. It is only available for 30 seconds after they offer it. If you don't claim it before that time limit, it goes POOF! and you lost it!
