In case you never noticed, whenever there is a team challenge, clicking the team challenge search link on the team challenge page makes it much easier to win SB from a search.

The Sportly app is paying 3 SB.
ETA: I just noticed that the 1st 3 “regular” rounds only paid 2 SB, then it paid 3 SB in the bonus rounds… but only for 4 rounds. It is back to 2 SB now.

Hmm, I don’t seem to have the Tidy Cats offer. Oh well.
-
I saw the Tidy Cats offer, clicked on it, it went to the CoffeeMate offer and now the Tidy Cats offer is nowhere to be seen. I would have done that one. Maybe it will come back today.
-
It’s weird that neither of you have the offer… I’ve heard of in-store offers being targeted. Here’s a screenshot of my current offers (so you can also keep an eye out for the Tidy Cat offer on your homepage and the Discover home page):
-
One of the swago tiles has changed. It was an offer (can’t remember the name) you had to do, now it’s just visit Spirit Halloween. I know I looked at the offer and was never going to do it.

That probably happened on my account too because I thought I’d completed all of the “visit our partner’s website” tiles on Monday but then I saw and visited the the Spirit Halloween tile this morning. I’d assumed that I’d just overlooked it but, considering your observation, there was likely something else there previously… I don’t remember what might have been there before, but at least they replaced it with something free and easy to do.

This is weird: my Team Challenge was added to my ledger, instead of being a Swag Up with GC purchase as in the past and as stated. It did not count towards my daily goal.
“10/26/18 Other: October Team Challenge - 25 SB Bonus +25 SB”NM, I realized that I hadn’t checked for a day or so to see if it ever appeared on my Swag Up ledger first (it was supposed to be there last Friday but I gave up checking after a few days).

Well, they’ve gone and done it folks… SwagBucks is no longer supporting any worthwhile apps on Android 4.4… a minimum of OS of 5.0+ is now required.
The last one, nCrave, was quietly updated on September 27, 2018 to version 2.2.1, but they neither announced it nor forced an upgrade… until yesterday, and the forced “upgrade” is only for Android 4.4 devices so far (the previous version still works and earns SB on Android 5.0).
They don’t even show the nCrave app on their mobile page anymore. The only android app I can find that still runs on Android 4.4 is Amped 360, and it doesn’t credit, even though it is supposed to pay SB.
I’m open to suggestions for worthwhile but cheap Android devices running Android 5 or higher.

Kroger has an LG phoenix 16 gb phone running marshmallow for $30. There is an 8gb phone for $25 at family dollar, but you would have to buy a sd card.

Thank you. Marshmallow is good since it’s OS 6, making it a little more future proof. I’m looking into the $30 LG at Kroger because I can get 20% off, making it $24, with the $10 off $50 ClickList coupon that expires on Oct 29th. So, $24 + fuel points for a quality brand, OS 6, and more built in memory is better than $25 for the no-brand (?) Family Dollar model that has less memory (and may only be OS 5).
ETA: I see that the Phoenix is upgradeable to Android 7 (Nougat)!
ETA 2: The Kroger I went to yesterday did not have the LG Phoenix in stock, so I’ll have to call around to the other stores in my area in the hopes of finding one. Also, you apparently can not order it online using their new delivery service.

The Lifestylz app has extended bonus rounds today but requires babysitting due to an intermittent black screen (actually, it may auto-advance on it’s own, but after a few minutes I’m too impatient to wait any longer and just hit the back button so I can select another video to play).

There are a bunch of new GCs on sale right now. Some $25 Gcs are 20% off instead of 12% off (and likely don’t count towards the once monthly 12% off one $25 GC, so you can use that separately).
Visa GCs
- The 10 and $15 Visa rewards cards are still 1% off.
- The $50 and $100 Visa rewards cards are still 2% off.
- Notably, the $25 Visa rewards card continues to be 13% every month as part of the once monthly 12% off a $25 GC sale.
- If you did Swago recently, double check your Swag Ups because you may have a 50 SB Swag Up when you redeem a $10 VISA GC, or a 150 SB Swag Up when you redeem a $25 VISA GC. The Swag Ups stack with the discounts, e.g., the 150 SB Swag Up stacks with the 13% off $25 Visa GC, making it 2,025 SB or 19% off, a savings of 475 SB.
- FYI: Visa rewards cards can be combined into one larger GC, but there is a 5% convenience fee on the total redemption ($1 minimum, $5 maximum). You must create an account to claim them and all redeemed Visa GCs linked to your SB email go onto that same account. You can use any Visa GC by itself (i.e., each will have a different number), or add 2 or more GCs together to make a higher value GC with one number (e.g., combine two $25 Gcs and one $50 GC into a single $100 Visa GC with one number).

If you plan to buy a $50 for the Swago board, they have a 20% off sale on Build-A-Bear Workshop, Jiffy Lube, and Burger King GCs. There is also a 10% off sale for Lowe’s GCs. You have to go to the cart to see the discount applied. This on top of whatever the cash back bonus is for each card.
I also see the 100 SB bonus on your 1st $50 GC from each brand offer, it wil will stack with both discounts above.
So, for example, the $50 Burger King GC has 2% cash back. It would cost $50 - 20% (1,000 SB) - 2% (100 SB) - 100 SB = $38 or 24% off (plus the extra money you earn on submitting your Swago board for completing this tile and whatever you earn from the extra 20 spins on the wheel).
ETA, when the bonus reward hits your SB account you’ll earn more bonus SB by making your 1st and 2nd daily goals (and it helps you continue your monthly streak which can earn you more SB.
To see all of the GCs on sale, click the “Promotions” link under “Specials.”
-
It’s only showing 1100 SB for me (22% off) for the $50 Burger King GC deal (unless I’m missing something). Still a decent deal though.

You need to log in so that they can verify that you qualify for the bonus 100 SB (i.e., you’ve never earned it before by purchasing $50 BK GC from them since it’s only awarded once per brand). Once logged in, your total discount should be1200SB.
BTW, I forgot to mention that another thing to factor into the final cost is that when the bonus reward hits your SB account you’ll earn more bonus SB by making your 1st and 2nd daily goals (and it helps you continue your monthly streak which can earn you more SB).

MyGiftCards Plus added Steak-n-Shake GCs to the list of 20% off GCs.

For the time being, the nCrave app is still offering extended rounds, but it might default to the home screen periodically. If it does, just click the “retry” button once or twice and it will resume 99% of the time. If it doesn’t, just try back periodically or wait until the next morning.

The Swagbucks Watch/SBTV app has extended bonus rounds.

Another tip about buying GCs through MyGiftCard Plus. There are two ways to pay for the purchase using your SB instead of “real money,” but you have to plan ahead.
-
One is by redeeming your SB for a credit added to your PayPal balance since MGC+ accepts PayPal payments (just make sure you select your PayPal balance as the payment method at checkout instead of PayPal credit).
-
The other is to redeem your SB for Visa GCs, which you can use like any other credit card to checkout on MGC+. The great thing about the Visa option is that you can use your once monthly 12% off one $25 GC on a $25 Visa GC redemption (but is actually 13% off on Visa GCs). So if you got two of them over 2 months and combined them onto one $50 credit card number with your Prepaid Digital Solutions account/wallet, using the example I gave above for the (now expired) Burger King GC, instead off saving 24% off, you’d save 37% off. A nice thing, if you haven’t noticed, is that after you use your monthly 12%/13% off $25 GC bonus, the discount on the $25 Visa GC changes to 2% off (it used to be 0% off)… and I think you can use the 2% off multiple times in the same month since that’s the sale price, not a bonus. The $50 Visa GC is also 2% off, so no need to combine cards if you don’t already have at least $25 but less than $50 on your Visa account that you want to use up… or want to max out the 13% discount. The downside to combining cards is that there is a 5% convenience fee on the total redemption ($1 minimum, $5 maximum)
- If you redeem your SB for a GC ASAP, you might get it delivered in time before the current Swago board ends since GC orders are often ready on Mondays if ordered in time, but there is no guarantee. There is also no guarantee that the 10% and 20% sales on MGC+ will still be available or that the card you want wont be sold out by Monday. If you decide to try anyway, you can redeem a maximum of 2 GCs a day (if you need to do one $25 Visa @ 13% off and one at 2% off). Even if you miss the deadline for Monday’s Swago board or the MGC+ sale ends/sells out, the PayPal balance never expires, and both PayPal and the Visa GCs can be used for any online purchases (tip: you can reload your Amazon GC balance with your Visa GCs or use it as a PayPal payment method). In other words, the risk to rewards ratio is in your favor, so whenever you see a % off MGC+ sale offered during a $5 Swago board, redeem your SB for GCs ASAP (or redeem the GS now/in advance and hold onto them until the stars align again).

Remember that maximizing your SB earnings is not just about how much you earn by doing stuff, it’s also about how many free bonus SB you can earn AND how you redeem your SB.
Example: earlier I mentioned that “you can reload your Amazon GC balance with your Visa GCs or use it as a PayPal payment method.”
In case you missed the significance of that… since all denominations of Visa GCs have been on sale for months now (1% to 13% off), if you have been redeeming your SB for Amazon or PayPal GCs, you’re missing out on additional savings by not redeeming SB for a Visa GC and using it to reload your Amazon GC balance or use as a PayPal payment method instead.

For those who do MyPoints, their Visa GCs have also been discounted for a while. They used to cost more to redeem points for than any other brand, but now they are cheaper than the other “mega inventory/retailer options” brands like eBay, PayPal and Amazon. For example, their $100 Visa GC is currently 13,600 points, compared to 15,800 points for the most expensive/popular brands (approximately 14% cheaper).
