Those using swagbucks ???

Obviously, you can each do what you feel is best. I can tell you that I have been on swagbucks for about 8 years now (yes, 8 years.) They have never upped the price of gift cards. They usually instead choose to lower the credit you get for things. I have never had an issue with receiving gift cards I ordered. I have never had my account shut off or reviewed for cashing out higher value gift cards. Why would higher value denominations be a cash out option if they were going to shut down your account for cashing in for them? That's dumb! I fee very comfortable saving up for $50 or $100 cards without any hesitation.
SB may not have upped the number of points needed for GCs but they could increase the number needed for those Disneyland tickets just because the cost to them increases.

Personally, I've been doing GPT sites since the early days of the dot-com era. I've seen successful programs implode without warning (anyone remember FreeRide and Webcertificates?). While you are correct that everyone is free to do what they feel is best, I see no reason to bank thousands of points with SB when there is no "discount" for redeeming for GCs with a larger value. I would rather have a bunch of smaller GCs tucked away in a drawer at home than a pile of points parked in any rewards account.
 
There's also a relatively new playlist under Watch: News and Politics that's 3 sb for 6 videos/8 minutes. "Wide World of News"

So far it's actually working for me. I had to 'view all' for the category to find it but so far no 'oops' so this might be my new fav , thanks :)
 
I"m in the same boat. I just completed the offer, but not points yet. I did take screen shots in case there ends up being a problem.

Hmmm I wasn't smart enough to do that. My order is showing up on the Gilette website, but I haven't received an e-mail from them yet or anything. If I don't get it before the Discover offer ends it won't be the end of the world, but I will be a bit peeved if I have to file a ticket for it.
 
Checking with anyone who did the Kobo ebooks offer at the top of the Adgate Media page. 140 SB. I saw someone here post about it the other day and I did it and it worked great, though it wouldn't take my bank card, had to go thru Paypal. Found the book for $5.01, got a $5 credit and only paid 1 cent! Great deal and easy for the 140 SB! DD27 tried and it wouldn't take her bank card either, but didn't have time to do the paypal at the time. I saw others on Reddit say the same, many used a prepaid CC.
DD27 was gonna try now but noticed it says "Purchase any eBook from Kobo. For a limited time, get $5.00 off your first ebook purchase from Kobo. Total ebook purchase must be $10.00 or more."
I don't remember the offer reading that way before! Is it new or did I just miss it before? I only paid 1 cent so can't see how it could have been there when I did the deal. Obviously won't be able to do the deal now if that's the case which is a bummer! Wish we remembered to do it earlier!
That's new. Before it said the book had to be at least $5.01.
 
Instant credit for WOW trial just now:
Discover: SB Offers: World Book WOW Free Trial Signup +375 SB

Got it in my SB inbox, free trial for 7 days, wouldn't accept a prepaid card, but there wasn't any language about cancelling during the free trial would void SB. So gave it a shot, instant credit. Just got to give myself a reminder to cancel in 6 days.
 
Banner on HP for 300SB when u sign up for free 30 day trial of hooked on phonics. Anyone done this? Wondering how easy cancelling is? Can u cancel online?

Both DD27 and I did it again last night with different emails and it went thru okay otoh, but its says SB will show as pending for 3 days. Neither of ours show as pending and a day later still no credit. But, having done this before, it always credited instantly even tho it said it wouldn't. Did you or anyone else get your SB's immediately, or are they still pending? I guess I'll try again. Was gonna try again right now but think I'll wait so if they do credit for me they'll go for Friday's daily goal. Already have today's.



I agree with you! And, as a pp said, I like to see my totals get a bit higher! I start the month with whatever bit is left after finishing redeeming what I earned the previous month and then just keep going until the month end, and on the last day, well, last night of the month, I redeem for the $2200 gc(usually Target, tho last month and probably will continue now, did BB). Then usually these days I take the rest in Paypal, the biggest I can like $50 or even $100. Then for what's left, I'll get a smaller Target or BB if they have it. Usually I'm $100-125 a month, and DD27 is total like $60 - $100, unless we have really good months. One month for me was like $175 which for me was great!

Mine credited immediately.

I always cash out for the 2200 gift card on the 1st of the month. Then I just save up for the rest of the month and cash out the last of the month but leave enough for my next 2200 gift card. This has been working very well for me for YEARS. I typically make $75-100/ month. Sometimes more if the ncraves will run all day with out stopping while I'm at work.
 
Just did the Hooked on Phonics offer...of course, it did not credit so I submitted a ticket, but ugh!!! Has anyone else tried it and been successful?
 
Data point: I know most of you did Gillette last month but I did it this morning and it credited instantly. It's coded as Discover so a good money maker considering the bonus.

Out of pocket: $10.80
Earned: 2000 SB
plus it put me over second goal for today: 20 SB bonus
Discover bonus next week: 500 SB

Thanks. My husband has been asking me for the last 2 weeks to go get him "good razors" and I keep forgetting. I just paid less than what I would a the store and made money off it as well. Credited immediately!

I tried it yesterday too again and nothing for me nor pending.
 
I may do the Hulu live offer. $39.99/month but you get a 7 day trial. i can cancel before the trial ends.
get back 2500 SB plus 500 SB bonus. credits within 24 hours.
 
I looked briefly at the MeUndies site but couldn't find anything for less than $12 - do you mind sharing what you ordered?

Sorry, should've clarified that this was not a moneymaker for me! My husband had an existing MeUndies subscription so he skipped a month and I placed an order with them through Swagbucks. No money made, but he does like their products if that matters to anyone. I did not care for the women's line.
 
Gillette did not credit for me.

World book is hard to cancel I read so I'll pass.

I tried shell again with a different email but it didn't work.

Took a 50 sb kantar survey (one that says you'll get credit within 10 minutes after you complete it) and it never credited.

I'm not thrilled with swagbucks right now:(
 
Has anyone ever submitted a purchase offer (like the Rayovac) to both Swagbucks and MyPoints and gotten credit for both? The Walmart Rayovac deal is available at both, which would make this a moneymaker. I am tempted to do it since we can always use batteries.

Shell also did not credit for me, nor did Culturelle. I submitted a ticket for Gillette at lunch. I am confident they'll credit me but that it will not go to Discover and I'll lose the 500 SB bonus.
