Those using swagbucks ???

Does Swago usually have a space for redeeming points for a GC? Trying to decide if I should do it now or wait until the new board is up

I don't think I've seen a square for redeeming? I know there's almost always a square for purchasing a GC via MGCP.

Is watch redirecting people to a thing about malware? Everything I click on redirects to some sketchy sight.

I sent a Facebook message to Swagbucks about it we'll see what happens.

Got the same email, don't know if I believe them.

I have seen the email before. I think you need to go through the email every time to get the credit. I got the email before, but thought it was a one click to activate it and didn't get any credit. I am not seeing any emails this time.

Pretty sure it said the Mother's Day one is a shop Swago, no?

If so, I don't recall ever having a redeem a GC on a shop Swago one, just the regular Swago sometimes.

I've not used it today (just barely after midnight Pacific time so about 12 hours ago) but I've seen complaints elsewhere about that beginning a few hours ago so I don't think it's just you.

I did notice that the watch lists got longer.....again. That's the second time in just a few months!

That makes me feel better. All of my watch disappeared once they responded to the Facebook message so hopefully they're on it?

They got longer?! Again? How many videos do you need to watch now?

Actually, I'm pretty sure I remember there being a square to redeem SB at least once or twice, not too long ago. I remember being glad I had just redeemed and bought a gc.
Of course i rarely get to turn in either for the gold survey requirements or the local SB square. Last time I was good for a diagonal but I played the swag iq and got one point but it never credited so couldn't turn in. Ugh. Lol.

Watch seems okay, but didn't notice they were longer? How much longer?

Now it's 10 videos for 1 SB for Watch on non-mobile. (Up from 8, which was up from 6 just a few months ago).

It looks like it's still 15 videos for 2 SB and 22 for 3 SB (which both went up with the last change but don't seem to have this time) Guess they're really pushing getting people to do the longer Watch sets on desktop.

The Swago this week is just the lower value hardly any SB possible Shop Swago (so it should be all the "click on _____ from your mobile" "visit ____ from your desktop" type things, plus the one MGCP purchase square this time not all the other things (referrals, local, redeem a GC - Swag IQ even is iffy...they may do it just to keep pushing it) that they have on that higher value 500 SB thing w/ Spin & Win also.

Bet we'll see a team challenge the week after this and then regular Swago the following week (and maybe yet another Shop Swago end of the month for Memorial Day sales and in advance of the Father's Day / Graduation push too...

If only the BB deal was still working to make that MGCP square more appealing!

I think when I started in 2015 you got 3 sb for every 10 videos. It may have been 2, but I think it was three. 1 sb for 10 videos is insane. The apps were also so much better then.

Is the bonus not crediting for Best Buy or do you mean that some stores won’t let you buy a gift card with a Best Buy gift card?

 

[ThisIsJason]

Well have fun Swagging everyone. Heading to Chicago tomorrow for the fight to WDW on Monday, and then the first Disney Cruise next Monday. Nice to be taking gift cards down that I got just doing Swagbucks.

For those that have cashed out SB for PayPal- how exactly does it work? Do they automatically put into your PayPal or do you do something to add it? And how long from then before you can deposit into bank acct?

 

[Minniekins]

So, first you redeem for a PayPal gc. Once it's verified, it stays in that status until they deliver it. That used to be only a day or so after redeeming, but lately it's taking several days. It's delivered right into your Paypal acct, and then you go to Paypal and have it sent to your bank acct (takes one business day free, or .25 cents and it is instant, I think (I do free), and there you go, your Swagbucks turned into cash!

Meaning that for most people they won't let you by a GC at BB w/ a GC now.

As far as I know the bonus is still crediting but so few have been able to try this week I don't know that I've seen anyone confirm from purchases since 5/1 or not (just purchases prior) but it does still show on SB like it should be, so I'm assuming the 500 SB bonus is still a go in that regard.

I just bought $200 worth on Friday, used my CC not wth gc's since that's a no go at my store now too.

The shops for all for are transactions showed up as pending this morning. Now I'm just waiting on the bonuses, those should show up Monday!

So I had 45.00 of Best Buy gift cards from various rewards. I finally made it to Best Buy last night in Knoxville, TN and had no issue redeeming my gift cards for a Disney gift card. I also had them scan my swag QR code for the bonus. Question - can someone let me know when these swagbucks will appear? Will they show up as pending in shop. As of now, I don't see anything, so I'm wondering if it didn't work.

I went to my BB on Wednesday, and the 500 SB appeared on Friday. Nothing showed up anywhere as pending on my SB account, so it was a nice surprise. I have heard that the bonus doesn't credit on the weekends. I have done this twice now and it has taken anywhere from 2-4 days.

This. There has definitely been a square for redeeming points in the past. I believe this last swago had one.

I think just to be on the safe side, I'll wait until tomorrow. Thanks!

So this was weird...

When I found that I could no longer redeem my BB gift cards, I was "stuck" with a $50 one that I'd purchased from MGCP (with SB redeemed to PayPal) and another $25 one that I redeemed with my monthly "discount" for 2200SB. On someone's advice, I decided to sell these to Cardpool so that I could take the cash and use it to buy a Disney gift card at BB. This way, I can cash in another $25 in SB to PayPal, and assuming the QR code still works, I will be able to still walk away with about a $4 overall profit and convert my BB to Disney.

Anyways, I went to the Cardpool site this morning and I had the SB banner pop up since they are a SB merchant. I activated it out of habit and continued on with my business. I SOLD the $75 in gift cards for $67.13 and I will get a check in 7-10 business days. So here's the weird part...I just got an email from Swagbucks showing a 75 SB credit for my PURCHASE at Cardpool. Huh?! So then, I checked my ledger, and it shows a PURCHASE at Cardpool for $150 with a pending credit of 75 SB. Since when does SB credit at 1/2 SB per dollar?? I'm so confused
