  • There’s a Visit Myrtle Beach South Carolina ad in the upper-left corner (right below the swagbucks icon) in the rolling ads that counts as a daily discover towards your to-do-list, without having to buy anything (I just loaded the first myrtle beach page after clicking the add).

    Should be the second ad in the upper-left, may have to click the arrows or buttons to bring it up. I couldn’t get it to load from the view all offers in discover, so it might only be accessible through that little box/ad.

    It is also likely in your inbox under something like"Myrtle Beach Spring Deals" (sort by the “earn” column). ETA image:

    They’ve been promoting this repeatedly for the past few months, but it unfortunately only credited for me with the first offer, so it’s likely only 1 per account.

    • Unfortunately, if you were planning to complete the perimeter of the Swago board for 150 SB, one of the corner squares requires you to “Buy SB,” which currently has a 99 SB fee. The next best options are columns that only pay 60 SB or 50 SB. Unless they offer another Buy SB flash sale this week, your best hope of earning a worthwhile amount from this board without spending real money will be bonuses from the wheel spins (so do as many tiles as possible to maximize the number of spins earned)
    • MyGC+ will fill the middle square on your Swago board for those so inclined… to sweeten the deal, they:
      • Just added back to 100 SB bonus on all $50 GCs (1 per person per brand)
      • Just added 20% cash back for O’Charley’s and Chico’s (Aéropostale, Fanatics, and Audible have offered 20% CB for a while now and the 10% CB offer on Home Depot is still available).ETA: The Children’s Place 20% CB TBA
    • Warning: weird things are going on with how things are being credited on the site this morning. For example, I completed 4 Swago tiles but my tally in the upper right hand corner says I only earned 2 spins (it corrected itself when I completed my next tile). Also, I purchased one GC but was charged twice for it. That GC purchase triggered the Team Challenge Swag Up rebate, but I was only credited 10% of the Swag Up value. I suggest you monitor your account so that you can document and report any errors to customer service.
    • The Swag Up rebate from last week’s Teen Challenge may have posted??? it was supposed to post by Saturday but it is still not on my Swag Ups page… yet, as mentioned above, I was credited the wrong amount for it when I bought a GC today. Anyway, beware that it expires on June 29th at 11:59pm PT. Usually they expire a few days into the next month, allowing you to wait to use it on your monthly 12% off $25 GC bonus, so note the change. If you have a limited number of SBs, there are several $3 GCs that you should be able to redeem for in the Rewards Store (and it would mark off a Swago tile)

    This just popped up on my homepage: Exclusive Member Recognition program benefit. Your level qualifies you for early access to 20% cash back on The Children’s Place gift cards at MyGC+. 48 hours only.

    You need to click the pop-up to activate your exclusive link. When there was a similar offer two weeks ago for Cabela’s, @harperr reported also receiving the invitation and exclusive activation link via email.

    Flash Buy SB Sale: For a limited time, you can buy 2,000 SB for $19.00 and without any SB fees ($2 or more I believe). You must use a traditional payment method like credit cards (you can’t redeem/use your SB for this): https://www.swagbucks.com/buy-sb

  • I now have 16 free rejoins for sb live. Mostly from the june spin to win wheel, I think I have 3 from free rejoin week. Plus a bunch of swagstakes entries for the laptop and 100,000 sb drawing.



  • @ctujackbauer
    I have a bunch of rejoins too.
    What is a rejoin???
    TY!!!

    TY!!!

    If you miss a question in the swagbucks live trivia game (requires smartphone app), you get to rejoin without having to spend swagbucks to win the prize at the end. There are 10 trivia questions. You split the prize of $500/$1,000 in sb among all the winners.

    The games on Monday are easier because they get progressively harder throughout the week. So spend the rejoins on the harder Wednesday/Thursday games. If you advance into like the 7th or 8th question without missing, then it costs a lot of sb to rejoin, so those rejoins are valuable.

    I won a Monday game and got like 39 sb, there were a lot of winners that day. There were about 10 winners in one of the Thursday games splitting $1,000, so that day a winner won around $100 (1,000 sb). It’s just very difficult to win that much.

    • They’re just getting around to announcing the new in-store “coupons” that we’ve been talking about for almost a month now. I’m seeing this on Facebook, site banners, my inbox, the blog,etc. They’re calling them “In-Store Promos”. IMHO, that name is too easily confused with the much higher value “In-Store Offers” that used to be found at that link (now you have to waste time combing through the Discover page to find them). I think I’ll stick to calling the new offers “In Store Coupons” for clarity. The main take home points:
      • Introducing your virtual coupons on Swagbucks: Earn Cash Back at your local grocery store without clipping coupons when you upload your receipt through our new receipt upload feature
      • Earn a 50 SB Bonus 💲 when you upload a receipt between today, June 17th through 11:59 pm PT June 23rd. You’ll receive your SB Bonus by end of day on Friday, June 28th.
      • There are many complaints in the blog about difficulty uploading receipts, so plan accordingly. @alanmax Is that what you were asking about the other day, because my answer was about the In-Store Promos, not the coupons (they really need names for the two that are less easily confused)

    • Yesterday I mentioned a warning about strange crediting issues on the site. They issued this statement on Facebook: “Hi Swaggernauts! We realize there was an issue with the 1,000 SB Rebate Bonus on the Visa Gift card today. We are working to resolve the issue and will be sending an inbox message to all affected users by the end of day when the issue is resolved. Thank you!
      ~Team Swagbucks”
      • ❓ Anyone know what this “1,000 SB Rebate Bonus on the Visa Gift card” is? At first I thought their announcement was about being charged for 2 Visa GCs when you only purchased 1 and not correctly crediting the Team Challenge Swag Up, but I haven’t received any inbox message yet and nothing on my account has been fixed
    • Quick one-click inbox offer for 2 SB (Discover): Find the college degree that’s right for you. Visit the offer and earn 2 SB. This offer may only be redeemed once (1) per user.

    Thanks again!!!

    @ctujackbauer I witnessed that crazy SB Live game too and wondered if you saw it. Most of the questions were either hard or obscure so people were dropping like flies, LOL. BTW, I got about 30 rejoins from the recent Swago spin & win wheel (and not much else… they really devalued the wheel bonuses so I earned 80% less from this Swago gane than I usually do).

    • Using the recent First Day Of Summer Collector’s Bill link is still yeilding higher search win values than usual: https://www.swagbucks.com/g/l/igvxb1

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

    • They added many more In-Store “Coupons” (almost 30 coupons available) with an expiration date of July 3rd

    • if you recently had difficulty verifying a GC order(s), they’re working on a solution. For those who don’t know, they also show how to verify GCs online through the Order Status drop down menu link:

      1. Under your account dropdown choose Order Status https://www.swagbucks.com/account/order-status
      2. Look for the gift card(s) that says “not verified” and click on the blue + sign
      3. Next, you can either choose to do one of the following:
        » Resend verification email
        » Verify via security answer
      4. After verifying through one of those two methods, you will see the status change from “not verified” to “verified”

    This is an extremely helpful post fivetalents! TY!!!



  • There’s a pretty high-dollar swagbucks offer for a first-time app download/sign-up and order through Postmates. They have a few delivery options, quite a bit more options for pickup.

    2,856 sb for the first order. Plus there’s a code for $5 off with 5OFF. Not sure when this offer expires.

    • Remember thst the Collector Bill challenge started yesterday. Find all 6 bills (valued at 6 SB, 9 SB, 12 SB, 14 SB, 18 SB, and 23 SB) through the Swagbucks search box by Sunday, July 14th at 11:59PM PT to earn a 20 SB Bonus. Try using this recommended search link from their Facebook page to increase your chance of winning a bill when you search.

    • If you gave up on the main Sb mobile app, it’s running in 100% auto-mode again without the need to click through multiple ads for every single video. The other apps are still being devalued/throttled, maxing out at only 2 to 6 SB each.

    • The 10% cashback offer on the Home Depot GCs at MyGC+ is available again (but there is no active 100 SB bonus offer for 1st time purchases of $50+)

    • If you haven’t checked out the in-store offers page recently, they’re now putting them all on one page with all the high dollar offers at the top of all of the "coupon’ offers. You no longer have to search the homepage, Discover page, inbox, and top left carousel, or monitor pop-ups, the header banner, etc. to find the high value offers.

    • I finally saw a “Guaranteed” survey (discussed here, here, and here) on the Swagbucks gold survey page. When I was disqualified, a message said “Not every survey can be a winner, but here’s 50 SB for trying Survey ___.” Note that SB earned from DQs do not count as a “Complete A Gold Survey” on the daily To Do List

    At what stage were you notified that you were ineligible (before you placed and paid for your order I hope)?

    ETA: since you never redeemed the offer, customer service may be able to do something to reset your status. There’s no SB credit on your account/ledger related to Postmates so they can’t claim that you redeemed it. If they say you activated the offer too recently (but prior to your attempt in the past week) so it won’t show up on your account for a while, you may be able to find the original activation email in your trash or spam folder (if so, ask if you can still use it).

    You may not be eligible for this offer, may have already completed it, or the offer has expired.

    Good tip on customer service resetting the status, I didn’t think of that. It wasn’t in my email trash.

    I’ve never even clicked on any of these offers before to see what they’re about. I decided to take one for the team and try it out.

    I carefully read all of the instructions and even wrote down some questions I actually needed answered in the category I chose. They don’t tell you who you’re calling, just the number to call and the type of company, so you won’t know until they answer the phone (mine was a well known national brand).

    My call was answered quickly, the representative was friendly and very knowledgeable, and the call took about 5 minutes (it would have been shorter but I asked several follow questions that I genuinely wanted answers for). It took about 5 minutes for my SB to credit.

    This definitely fits my “low effort” Swagbucks philosophy/goal: it is low hassle and worth the time, and I’d definitely recommend it based on this single sample (and not hearing anything negative about it from others). Thanks for sharing a great find/offer @harperr !

    I still have all of the rejoins I think I should have, but I’ve seen complaints from others about their rejoins disappearing. I had so many rejoins I never skipped any offer to use them. I wonder if your 3 skipped and 3 left rejoins are related (i.e., you night have 0 left if you had used them every time you could).

    Did anyone else have their SB Live trivia free rejoins disappear? I had like 20 or 22, but now I have 3. I didn’t use 4 of them in-game because I was saving them for a better opportunity.

    I still have all of the rejoins I think I should have, but I’ve seen complaints from others about their rejoins disappearing. I had so many rejoins I never skipped any offer to use them. I wonder if your 3 skipped and 3 left rejoins are related (i.e., you night have 0 left if you had used them every time you could).

    All of my free rejoins disappeared today… I nearly paid to rejoin during tonights game but realized it in time.

  • Tough Swago this month. Probably going to skip it or just do first column. Though I’m leery of the coupons.com printing, so might just skip it.

    Tough Swago and no bonus spin wheel 😞

    If you’re going to do the first column for 45 SB, you may as well do the perimeter for 135 SB. I signed up for Swago on Friday but haven’t started working on it yet. I just checked my board and I only need 5 tiles to complete the perimeter: create a shopping list (1-click & free), redeem SB for a GC (was going toa do anyway), join 2 giveaways (loss of 5 SB each), and print grocery coupons (free). So I’d earn 125 with very little effort above doing all the stuff I normally do anyway.

    I’m surprised that you’re leery of coupons.com. Why? They’re 100% legit and you get 25 SB for every one you use at the grocery store + 1 SB for every one you print (up to 50 SB a day). However, you don’t even have to print them out using ink and paper… just print to pdf (you can later print out my use any you choose). Otherwise, I’d do the 5th column for 65 SB (the highest you earn without buying a $50 GC).

    I was thinking of the old times when coupons.com made you install Java. I forgot they moved to a pdf solution.



  • @fivetalents

    Oh, and I didn’t want to redeem my SB for a gift card yet. I’m saving up for one big gift card which I’ve been getting close to.

    Thanks for the heads up on the coupons.com. I saved a pdf of my first coupon.

    YW.

    Consider redeeming for a low value GC like the $3 Amazon GC. If you print 50 grocery coupons you’ll earn 50 SB so it won’t set your goal back that much. The current print limit of 50 is supposed to be daily, but I find I’m more likely to get paid for every batch if I skip a couple of days between prints (maybe wait till you get paid for the last set of 50 then print the next batch).

  • The monthly bonus points for August are available now.

    Also, my SBTV and Indymusic iPhone apps don’t seem to be working anymore. I can’t find them in the App Store either. Maybe they have been discontinued.

    All of the video apps are still present and working on android. However, the nCrave app is the only one worth doing lately. They/ve devalued the others like they did PC Watch… it takes so long to watch the ads, there are a ridiculously large number of video in each set, or so much babysitting is required that the apps are not worth the time and effort right now.

    Anyway, it looks like you’re right about the the iOS apps. The main app download page has android and iOS links for all of the apps… except Swagbucks Watch and IndyMusic, which only have a link to download android.

  • @fivetalents

    Fivetalents, how do the collector’s bills work again? I just search for the terms on the specific day, and then I get bonus sb for that?

    Also, new swago is up, seems like a good one this time.

    And how do I earn swagbucks from search? I’m trying to do the perimeter for this swago. I clicked on the box and it searches for ‘sports equipment’ and then I clicked on the first link, but it didn’t credit me.

    So many questions. I know, I know…

    Hey. I don’t mind questions… this thread is supposed to serve as a reference resource too, not just for the latest deal.

    1. The last Collectors’ Bill offer ended yesterday at 11:59PM PT. For future reference, the purpose of the bills is to get people to use Swagbucks’ search engine more/instead of their normal search engine. So, you can win any/all of the bills by searching whatever unique words or terms you’s normally search for anyway. Sometimes they provide a link with a sample search term to demonstrate how/where to use their search engine. While this link often results in easier/faster search wins, often of higher value, there is no guarantee. You are also not ever required to use such links or the associated search terms at all to participate… just search for things you legitimately want information about.

      • If you “win” a search (get awarded SB for searching), it may or may not be in the form of a Collectors’ Bill. If you collect all of the bills by the end of the week-long period, you win bonus SB (usually 20 SB). You can view all of the bills you’ve ever won on your activity/account ledger:
        0_1568059519076_4bee673b-1e53-44fe-aeb9-1055a19af104-image.png

      • On major holidays or observance days like Fathers’ Day (and sometimes on random days like National Dog Day) , there will often be a on-day, single large value Collectors’ Bill (usually about 26 SB). If you find that one bill via search you also get bonus SB, often about 5 SB.

    2. Thanks for the Swago heads up… I’ll post a few notes about it later.

    3. The Daily Goal meter is on the toolbar at the top of every page. It has nothing to with the To Do List directly, it just records all eligible points earned each day. If you reach the first goal (click on it to see your personalized goals), you earn the bonus SB listed, and if you keep earning and reach the 2nd daily goal you earn much more SB. You should try to at least get the 1st goal every day to earn an extra $3 monthly, and the longer you go without missing your 1st daily goal, the more you’ll earn as a monthly streak bonus (up to $3/month I think).
      0_1568060664286_57db2c18-c319-43eb-8a85-a88fd63e58ba-image.png

    4. Every search is not guaranteed a win/rewarded with SB. Wins are periodic, and probably more frequent for newer members. Clicking on a result does not increase your odds of winning, but helps Swagbucks know you have a legitimate interest in what you’re searching for (frivolous searching just to win is a no-no). It usually takes multiple searches to win. As noted above, using suggested search links sometimes helps you win faster and get larger SB amounts. if you don’t see a “congratulations” message at the top of your search page with a reward amount and a security captcha, you did not win. The captcha expires quickly and you only get 2 chances to enter it correctly, so be alert and prompt.

    You’re welcome. I noticed the edit after I’d written everything up already, so I decided to post it anyway in case the info was useful to someone else.

    I wish we got paid to search!!! When I first joined, I could win four searches every day (spread throughout the day) with occasional high wins (on rare occasions, up to 50 or 60 SB). Now I’m lucky if I win once a day and never see large wins anymore unless there is a holiday or promo going on.
