did you try signing out and signing in again? clearing your cache?

hey guys... just wondering...i seem to be having problems with my SB search engine. it's not working. it keeps redirecting me to their beta page and official rules. can anyone tell me why is it doing that or anyone else having the same issue?

thanks for your time

I think that usual means that you over searched

[Justine]

how is it possible to over search?

[sugarlips_seaycatt]

yup..logged off then logged in. rebooted. unplugged.

so if i've oversearched do i wait for like a day or i'm booted out =(.

[maybe]

You can oversearch? I search a lot and I've never had that happen. Try deleting your cookies and temporairy internet files and see if that works.

[sugarlips_seaycatt]

Thanks, Maybe, I will try that. I'll let you know if it works.

Yeah I read on the facebook wall a couple of times that people that that have searched way to much...I think you have to have just sat there and searched numerous times.

Never happened to me...but I heard if it does happen it directs you to the rules page. But this is based on what I read...not personal experience

You have to search like you would 'naturally'. Do not continually click the 'search' button or you will get that rules page and subsequently have your account deactivated.

sugarlips, any results?

Oooh! I got a 3sb for searching "Bad Romance lyrics". Plus the 1sb from newsletter.

I just got 2Sb searching the same thing! I figured I'd do it as my last search of the night before bed and yay!

it doesn't matter what you search it's awarded randomly.

Alright it's finally December and I can redeem for more $5 gift cards. I am really tempted to get the $50-amazon gift card, even though it doesn't really make sense, I just want to get as much $ in gift cards as I can as soon as possible. I have 477 sb right now, so like 120 short of the $50 prize. What would you guys do?

or should I just get the 5 $5 and wait it out? That way I spend only 225 sb.

I know, I just thought it was funny that the same search got a bigger than normal sb for me too.

Oh to have such worries and decisions to make

, why don't you just wait a bit and see if you can get to the $50 one... they won't process them til' the 16th anyways so maybe you can get the $50 and a few of the $5 too by then.

Today was a good day for me. I won 3 different times for searching... 2sb, 1sb, 1sb... and the newsletter code too, so 5 in one day!! Yay for me!

I know I clearly have no life thinking about this so much, I would be sooo much more ahead by now if it wasn't that 5/month rule.

I know they won't process them till the 16th, but it's the first of the month and I can get the $5 ones now.... argh I don't know. Makes more sense to get the $25 in $5's, but if I redeem for that I may only get that cause I won't have enough for $50 again before the 16th.

Well, at least you have 2 weeks to decide! I think because its christmas if I were saving up to buy gifts off of amazon I would go for the 50, just because its a big holiday and that makes sense in my head. But you do get more for your bucks buying them in 5's. Hard call..
