Swagbucks took away the majority of the generic produce and meat offers for Magic Receipts / Tada. I guess doing those for Swago is now gone (hopefully just temporarily).
-
@fivetalents And there is!
-
New round of Collectors Bills.

55 SB Revenue Universe email submit Atkins offer

New Collectors Bill today.
-
Still 31 SB
-
āStarting November 1st, in addition to saving money on your shopping trip, you can earn 1 SB for every 3 Coupons.com coupon you print, up to 60 per day PLUS 50 SB for every coupon you redeem in-store, thatās up from 25 SB.ā
The 1 SB per coupons printed is a big throttle but I stopped getting credited a long time ago so no big loss for me. However, 50 SB per coupon redeemed is a huge deal.

New batch of Collectors Bills started today.
-
Swagbucks seems to have figured out that they donāt make a lot on Swago boards (well, usually just one row) being completed for 100+ SB with a 2 SB tada magic receipt.
Guess that gravy train is over.
Get your money for nothing and your broccoli for freeā¦ not any more.
-
Theyāve so thoroughly devalued Swago that I donāt even bother to do it anymore. I used to make at least $5 every board when they had the wheel. Now you have to spend money to get any decent payouts. No thanks.
-
I just won a generic 49 SB search so itās hot right now but thereāll probably also be a 49 SB collectorās bill tomorrow.
-
Iām going to miss tonightās $10,000 prize Swagbucks Live, so can someone tell me how many SB the winners get from tonight?

Must be a lucky one? I didnāt see any search links on the Swagbucks facebook page.
-
Yeah, unfortunately I didnāt win a collectorās bill afterwardsā¦ I donāt know why I won so much from a search. Maybe they were testing an upcoming holiday bill.
I did win the $10K SB Live game (58 SB, or 49 + 9 bonus). The questions were too easy. Out of 36K+ players, slightly over 20K pllayers won. On Friday, the 3pm game has a $5K jackpot and there will be a 4pm game with a $10K jackpot.
-
Sorry folks, the $5K and $10K Friday games arenāt until next week/Black Friday.

Collectors Bill today:
Happy Thanksgiving!
-
I havenāt been able to win todayās collector bill yet, but at least I got a badge!
-
Revenue Universe has 4 seven SB and 40 two SB click-through offers that credit quickly.
-
I just won 11 SB from searching.
-
Thereās a 28 SB collectorās bill for todayā¦
-
Minimal effort for the Swago that ends tonight, 20 SB for activating a bunch of swagbutton shop links. Itās probably too late for the MyGiftCardsPlus to hit the center square.
-
I guess itās better than nothing.
-
ten lords for me today
-
@harperr said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:

Ouch. A 1 SB search win is harsh. Iāve never seen one that low below beforeā¦ not looking forward to receiving that one.
I won a generic 12 SB search around 2am today so I knew something was on the horizon. Itās a new Collectorsā bill set that Iāve never seen before. Tip: if you get a very low value bill, it takes 30 searches to get your next search win so try to get at least two wins that day to make up the difference from the typical value of your search wins.
-
Itās been years and years since they let me win the collectorās will event. The 100 SB bonus (instead of 20 SB) makes up a little for all of those 1, 2, and 3 SB search winns.
-
Anyone know if thereās a minimum amount of SB I need to spend on a gift card reward for the team challenge SB swag up to trigger? I used 300 SB on a $3 Amazon GC reward, and was expecting to get back 300 SB from the team challenge swag up.
It normally credits by nowā¦ its still showing in my swag ups, nothing in pending activity.

It should deduct it when you āpurchaseā the gift card.

Thanks harperr, I should have purchased a $5 amazon GC instead of the $3 amazon GC. I see it now.
Ah well, more for the amazon war chest.

Good deal.
SB Live still gives 100 points toward this weekās Team Challenge. However, they did downgrade the points given from a magic receipt purchase: only 50 SB and above magic receipt purchases count toward Team Challenge points.

I guess folks were taking too much advantage of those $0.02 any brand rebate items.

Guilty as charged. There are so few quality offers on it now (Nabisco cookies/crackers and Baby Ruth are ok deals) but theyāve been asking for input on daily polls, so hopefully theyāll build up that side of the business because ibotta needs competition. Theyāve got to do something about their receipt scanner tech though, it is reliably unreliable.
I guess Iāll play SB Live for the Team Challenge. Iāve cut way back on Swagbucks lately, Iām trying to do less time-intensive stuff.
-
Yeah, I cut way back too. I just aim for one $25 GC (for 22.000 SB) per month now. Being charged taxes on non-taxable things like cash back if I go over $600 in redemptions per year is a huge disincentive. Life has been too busy anyway to invest in SB activities that take increasingly longer and longer to complete and pay less and less over time.
A funny thing is I think theyāre hurting for traffic because theyāve been harassing me with near daily emails to start taking surveys again. They banned me from surveys about 4 years ago because I kept forgetting to not take surveys on my birthday. That always resulted in a fraud warning for me because their system hadnāt updated yet and I was claiming to be one year older than they thought I was. I either had to lie and say I was younger or miss a few days of survey $$$ because of their incompetence.
Well, I guess I forgot one year too many and they banned me for at least 4 years from taking Peanut Lab and Gold surveys. Plus they applied the ban on my MyPoints account as well even though I hadnāt taken any surveys in a little while over there. Nice birthday gift. Now theyāve decided to reinstate me (with a bonus lecture in each email about how to take surveys honestly). Iām not going to bother taking their surveys anymore because (a) they no longer allow you to update your survey profile, so Iāll just get banned again because my income, zip code, age, etc. have changed and (b) Iām still salty about the 4 years money they caused me to miss out on. I used to do a lot of surveys and redeem $100 to $150 in SB monthlyā¦ those days are gone.

Have you had any luck with the Facebook surveys? Some of the ads for those are shady, so I have to do research on the company (limited research at that.) There are some decent paying judicial opinion live surveys that advertise often on Facebook, but that might be primarily for people near a large city.
Iāve never hit $600 on any one platform, you must have been doing them daily.

I live near a major city but am averse to social media so I donāt use it muchā¦ maybe for an occasional coupon or freebie. I donāt even know how to take Facebook surveys, and I donāt have much time for it right now, but I appreciate the info for future reference. I belong to several survey panels and havenāt been taking surveys most of the pandemic (counterintuitive, I know). I still participate on several long term research panels that I was invited to through SB surveys, so thatās something at least. My goals used to be taking 5 surveys a day on SB, and monthly meter bonus on SB used to regularly be in the $15 range from hitting daily/weekly/monthly goals. Now Iām lucky if I break $1, hahaha.

Most of them are hosted on external websites, as a word of caution. Theyāre not actually through Facebook, theyāre only advertised on Facebook.
-
Oh, that makes sense. No wonder you have to be so careful about vetting them!
-
Itās kind of the Wild Wild West of surveys.
Iāve had chatbots that looked legit not work at all and then their username disappears (you can look up the chatbots later in saved messages in Messenger.)
Iāve had very legitimate judicial opinion surveys that pay well. Alas, they are strict about the number of surveys you can do in a time frame.
Iāve had one (also a chatbot) that disappeared and that one gave up some information, even though that is the Faustian Bargain and standard procedure for a lot of these surveys, including major platforms.
Iāve also had legitimate chatbots pay within seconds.
Lately, Iām trying to stick to University-run surveys that require little effort. Those are easy to vet, all of the policies are laid out transparently, and there is usually contact info if I need help or the survey isnāt working correctly.

I was on the 2nd place team. For a couple of years though I was always on the losing team, even if we started out in first place. I was starting to feel some typa way, like I was bringing the wet blanket to the party.
