I have 30+ payments waiting for confirmation for nearly 48 hours.

Fees have been 0.00020+ per transaction.

Today, I sent BTC from Bittrex exchange to BlockChain wallet.  Bittrex fee was 0.00020/BTC.

The Bittrex transaction was confirmed within an hour.

I do not understand how Bittrex transaction was confirmed in a short period of time and my other transactions with higher fees have not been confirmed.
There are over 87,000 unconfirmed transaction right now https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions
Too many transaction and the block size cannot afford all of it, overload the system. Everyone told you to increase the fees a bit, my last transaction fee was 0.0003393 through blockchain wallet and takes an hour or less to be confirmed.
