    • Revenue Universe (Discover) has double SB

    • No app had extended bonus rounds today, but they do pay an average of 10 SB if you max then all out. Start with IndyMusic (18) SB and save Sportly and EntertaiNow for last since they only pay 6 SB each.

    • I tried to enter a Swag Code about 20 minutes after it expired but was told that it had expired despite ny Member Recognition perk of having an extra 2 hours to redeem codes. This confirms my previously mentioned suspicion that shareable weekend codes that have redemption limits (today’s was the 1st 13,000) are excluded from the 2-hour extension perk (once all redemptions are claimed?)… they need to make that clear on the MR rewards/benefits explanation page.

    • TLTG is running consistently with occasional runs of 1-click offers

    • The IndyMusic app has extended bonus rounds but periodically requires babysitting (33 SB). All the apps, except Sportly and EntertaiNow are paying at least 10 SB each. Unfortunately, none of them are running completely in auto-mode.

    • Acorn (Discover) has two 16 SB offers that pay after you submit your zip code, and they credit within minutes.

    Enter Swag Code SecondChance by 7:30 ET / 4:30 PT for 3 SB


  • Global Moderator

    • All of the apps are paying a decent amount today (only one is 8 SB/under 10 SB), but several/most of them seem to need some level of babysitting again. The IndyMusic and Lifestylz apps have extended bonus rounds.

    • Revenue Universe has a couple more (2 SB) 1-click offers under “Clicks and Videos”

    • Be careful if you got an inbox offer entitled “Check out these latest sales!” [that says "LIMITED TIME ONLY: Save big on some of our top Entertainment Gift Cards. Whether you want to see a movie, play some games, download new music, or just looking to enjoy some pizza or burgers, we have the gift card for you! Plus for a limited time only you can save up to 10% Off! Hurry… This sale won’t last long!"]. The $50 iTunes GC is only 5% off, but you can get multiples of smaller iTunes GCs for 15% off on the rewards sale page. Otherwise, the following discounts appear to be new (and stingy):

    • The MovieClips app has extended bonus rounds in auto-mode

    • Adgate Media has double SB

    • Swagbucks finally remembered, after about 4 months, that they have an nCrave app. I only got it to credit once (2 SB) before it quit again but this could be a sign of a return to normal functioning soon

    • SWAG CODE ALERT! The first 11,000 Swaggernauts to enter Flow3rs4Mom in the SwagButton, Swag Code box or Swagbucks Mobile App will earn 2SB

    • The Sportly, Movieclips, and IndyMusic apps have extended bonus rounds in auto-mode (one needs heavy babysitting… maybe IndyMusic, you’ll notice quickly if it does)

    • Monthly and daily bonuses for April have posted

    • Tip: Sometimes when you’re in the middle of a survey it may stop working (a video may not load or keep freezing, a captcha may not appear, an activity/module programmed in a different code from the rest of the survey may not load or respond, a table is too large and does not shrink to fit the screen and you’re not allowed to pan right to see the rest of the response options, etc. Because the initial invite links allow only 1 click before disappearing or being disabled, you can not restart the survey on another browser or device by clicking the invite/start link again. Instead of quitting by closing the tab and assuming you’ve lost all of your hard work, Try this:

      • Copy the URL into an email to yourself (you don’t even have to send it if it will auto-save in your drafts folder).
      • Open a different browser and paste the URL in a new tab or use a different device (e.g., if the survey froze on your PC, open your email on a mobile device and copy the URL to in a new tab). Sometimes surveys will keep track of your previous responses and Swagbucks user ID so you can seamlessly pick up where you left off if the new browser/device is more compatible with how the survey is programmed. Sometimes you’ll have to start all over from the beginning but that may not bother you if you hadn’t gotten that far into it, it pays a lot, you’re trying to qualify for a desirable free product test or long term discussion panel that pays monthly, etc.
      • Sometimes you’ll have to hit the back button on the “stuck” survey until you get a URL that will allow you to re-enter or restart a survey elsewhere. Just don’t go too far back or the window/tab will close if you go past the first screen

      It’s annoying but it’s saved me thousands of SB over the years (when I’m in the mood to try it).

    I didn’t get the email, but this offer is today’s homepage pop-up ad. At first I thought I didn’t qualify for early access yesterday via email invite, and now it’s open to everyone today. However, the pop-up offer seems to be personalized and mentions early access for my membership level… so maybe membership levels have different early access tiers.

    Has anyone won the swagbucks live trivia game?

    I’m relatively new to swagbucks and I think I’ve lost 150+ points on rejoins. I’m thinking its best for me to not rejoin and hope that I just crush it that day.

    After paying for one, I figured out early on that paying for rejoins is a losing proposition unless you’re smart/good at trivia (I’m neither). I’ve won 4 times but the games were easy (I’ve never won more than $3, meaning there were a lot of winners). There are many more times when I got 9 out of 10 right and would have won if I’d paid for a rejoin but hindsight is 20/20 and even more frequent are the number of times when I’ve used rejoins and lost.

    Now I just wait to win free rejoins from Swago spin and win wheels or other promos. I mostly play because I love trivia and the SB earned for correct answers even if you don’t win do add up… and sometimes I need it to fill in a Swago board, for a team challenge, etc. If I were savvy, I’d screenshot every correct answer screen and study those when they announce the next game comprised of past questions.

    If you never win, I’d definitely recommend never paying for rejoins.

    • Today’s SB Live app $1K game will be early (at 12pm EST instead of 8pm EST)

    • Submitting “grocery” receipts now qualifies as a completed survey. Even though they don’t pay enough per receipt in most cases (IMHO), this could come in handy in a pinch if you need to complete a To-Do List, Swago board, 1st or 2nd daily goal, etc. This upgrade is not mentioned in their most recent program update

    I an unable to submit a grocery receipt through the app. It says it needs access to the camera but there is no place to give access. I have an iPhone.

    I don’t use iOS and have never submitted a receipt on the Android Answer App (I just looked at the app and the PC/web browser answer homepage and can’t even find the option where I’m supposed to upload the receipt). The program announcement says “Once you’re eligible to begin submitting receipts, you’ll see a section on the top of your survey list… [to] submit your receipt.” I never got that far but it sounds like you did. All that to say, I can’t offer much technical assistance on this one.

    The announcement also says “From time to time, we may not be accepting receipts in the SB Answer app…so keep checking back from time to time.” Maybe that’s why you can’t access the camera through the app right now. The comments in the announcement blog and program overhaul blog (which promised app-free receipt submissions via websites) clearly indicates that receipt access in the app comes and go. Consider submitting a support ticket, though they’ll likely just tell you to reinstall the app and clear the cache.

    As I said before, at 2 SB for most receipts, they don’t pay enough… even with promo retailers offering 10 SB or more per receipt, To-Do List bonuses, daily bonuses, etc. it may be a lot less time consuming and frustrating to just submit your receipts to other services that pay more like Ibotta, Fetch, Checkout 51, Receipt Hog, NCP, etc.

    • PC nCrave is back in Chrome for me

    • Every app that I used yesterday required constant babysitting for every single ad, no matter how many rounds it offered… today appears to be the same. Excruciating to be subjected to and you earn a lot less so it’s not a good use of time since you only earn 2 SB per round

    • 20% Off EXPRESS Gift Card redemptions

      • $10 Gift Card: 800 SB
      • $25 Gift Card: 2,000 SB
      • $50 Gift Card: 4,000 SB
      • $100 Gift Card: 8,000 SB
    • Remember that you can get 2 SB for every 10 questions that you answer about yourself on the answer homepage, which also helps you get more targeted survey invites with a lower chance of a DQ. This can also be done in the Answer app by clicking the drop down menu on the upper left of the screen and selecting “About Me”

    • Pre-registration is open for the next 500 SB Swago Board. Once again, they’re not offering the valuable Spin & Win wheel but promise that it “will be coming back soon” (translation: don’t spend a lot of time on this board… do the minimum needed to submit your desired pattern). They’re bringing back a square for submitting in-store shopping receipts so plan ahead if you want to do that. The game runs from 12 am PT/3 am ET on Monday, May 20th through 11:59PM PST on Monday, May 27th.

    • Every app I try still requires constant babysitting and an unusually high number of videos per round (frequently over 40). It’s very time consuming so you earn much less for your efforts and it’s difficult to multi-task. So if I don’t mention the apps it’s because I don’t recommend using them as a low-effort earner right now, though you’re free to try them if you have the time and patience (actually, I suspect new accounts have to babysit apps a lot more for quite a while, maybe to prove they’re human?, before the apps run in extended auto-mode for them)

    • The Buy SB option was finally returned to the left menu of the homepage (under “Gift Cards”), but only the $5 option is available currently. This is still not a good deal IMHO due the fee, but they did offer a decent 5% - 10% off fee-free flash sale a while back, and the $1 to $2 fee may be worth it to some in a pinch.

    • Yesterday I was able to complete all of the apps for the first time in a while because they eased up quite a bit on the babysitting (but not completely). Unfortunately, they also didn’t have many bonus rounds. Anyway, the main SB app is running extended bonus rounds in auto-mode with periodic babysitting.

    • The DailyCrave is working in FireFox again

    • I just got a full page of PCnCrave tiles in Chrome and FireFox, not just 1 or 2

    • Tip: if you see an expired deal that you want to do in your inbox, don’t assume that it’s not still available. Often it is the message that is expired, not the offer itself. Try searching using the Swagbucks search box (available offers will appear in tiles at the top of the page), or manually looking through the homepage and drop down menus/sub-pages of the “Channel” listed for the deal in your inbox (Discover, Shop, etc.). You could try clicking through the expired offer in your inbox but I’m not certain it would credit correctly, and they often remove the links from expired offers anyway.

    • Radium One (https://www.swagbucks.com/discover/offer-walls/9/radiumone) (Discover) has several 7 SB offers labeled “Registration, Insurance” that only require zip code submission

    • None of the apps have bonus rounds today for me, but they pretty much ran exclusively in auto-mode

    • If you can submit a grocery receipt, you can can fairly easily earn 235 SB or 165 SB with the 500 SB Swago board without buying a $50 GC through MyGC+. Otherwise, the highest you can earn without either of those two tiles is 70 SB.

    Has anyone won the swagbucks live trivia game?

    I’m relatively new to swagbucks and I think I’ve lost 150+ points on rejoins. I’m thinking its best for me to not rejoin and hope that I just crush it that day.

    After paying for one, I figured out early on that paying for rejoins is a losing proposition unless you’re smart/good at trivia (I’m neither). I’ve won 4 times but the games were easy (I’ve never won more than $3, meaning there were a lot of winners). There are many more times when I got 9 out of 10 right and would have won if I’d paid for a rejoin but hindsight is 20/20 and even more frequent are the number of times when I’ve used rejoins and lost.

    Now I just wait to win free rejoins from Swago spin and win wheels or other promos. I mostly play because I love trivia and the SB earned for correct answers even if you don’t win do add up… and sometimes I need it to fill in a Swago board, for a team challenge, etc. If I were savvy, I’d screenshot every correct answer screen and study those when they announce the next game comprised of past questions.

    If you never win, I’d definitely recommend never paying for rejoins.

    @ctujackbauer I would have won tonight’s SB Live game if I’d paid 17 SB for a rejoin. I would have only won 55 SB though, and the odds (and my past performance) makes it much more likely that I would have lost if I rejoined… so I didn’t want to waste the SB. I don’t feel bad about missing out on the 55 - 17 = 38 SB I never had, but would have been really ticked off to squander 17 SB I’d already earned. I’ll use a free rejoin without hesitation but am very stingy when it comes to gambling with my own SB. If I were better at trivia, my evaluation might be different… but that’s how I look at it.

    Speaking of being good at trivia, the only times I’ve ever won was with a free rejoin. The one time I won with a perfect score/no rejoins, there was a glitch and my win was ignored and I wasn’t even given any of the bonus SB for the correct answers. 😕

    @harperr it just occurred to me to check to see if there has been a recent app update for the Answer app. There was indeed an Android app update on 04-25-2019 that was not announced. As soon as I installed it, I was able to see all of the receipt submission options (e.g, generic 2 SB receipts and higher paying bonus offers) above the list of available surveys. Submitting a receipt was easy: the camera took much higher resolution and in-focus images, and with fewer attempts, with no freezing/restarting like i regularly experience with the Ibotta app. I was never asked about accessing the camera… it just automatically loaded. Now I can submit my Swago board for 165 SB instead of 70 SB.

    I see that the iOS app was recently updated as well on 04-22-2019. If you haven’t updated recently, do that and see if it resolves your issues.

  • @fivetalents I uninstalled the Answer app and reinstalled it which seems to have fixed the problem. I haven’t actually submitted a receipt since then but it seems to be able to access the camera now. Thanks for the info!
