91 SB to winners of today’s SB Live. People were chatting it had to be a glitch because the last question was pretty easy.

@phat200 said in Month-end S&P 500 Quotes:

Is there any free web site where I can get month-end historical quotes?

TIA

Click on historical data in the s&p 500 index page on yahoo finance (link at bottom), then click on the time period to change it to one single day. Alternatively, click the frequency filter and change it to monthly and start with 1/1/xxxx to 12/31/xxxx then click max and it will show just the last day of the month’s s&p 500 price. Or just click max and monthly.

@fivetalents said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:

I didn’t realize that there is an active team challenge. The prizes are good:

1st place - 300 SB Swag Up Rebate
2nd place - 150 SB Swag Up Rebate
3rd place - 75 SB SwagUp Rebate
4th place - 50 SB SwagUp Rebate

I’m on the first place team.

I always save the monthly $25 gift card redemption until after the team challenge these days.

Products covered by this retail level recall include all: (i) drugs; (ii) medical devices; (iii) cosmetics; (iv) dietary supplements; and (v) human and animal (pet) food products.

Anywhere from 1,100 to 2,300 rodents were found in the distribution center.

Family Dollar is owned by Dollar Tree, but this particular distribution center sent out food and other products to 404 Family Dollar stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Full list in the Family Dollar statement on businesswire (below the NY Times article)

@KohlsPowrShopper

Double rewards until Feb 27. (I don’t believe this is targeted, could be a YMMV offer but I doubt it)

@MISTERCHEAP

MONEYMAKER. Also $3 off $10 or more fresh beef.

Looking at the online store apps, it looks like only 2 flavors are available at Albertson’s/Safeway, etc. I didn’t see any at Kroger, Walmart, or Target.

Possible YMMV due to Fetch Rewards.

@sonofzeus said in Fetch Rewards: 100% back on new Talenti Pairings (2 redemptions):

Home with 2 receipts and 4 Talenti. ($4 ea at Pete’s)
Fetch did not process the submissions correctly.
Submitted 2 tickets.
Looking forward to 100% back before dinner…

Did the barcode scanner work? That’s usually the quickest way to be credited after missing points.

After submitting the receipt - scroll to the bottom and click on the oval button that says “correct receipt” (something similar) and that should bring up the opportunity to search for a product or use the barcode scanner. The barcode scanner usually works every time.

For future reference, in case anyone else runs into redemption problems.

Pretzel apps are fired up, ready to go.

Are you fired up? Are you ready to go?

Hmm, three of the pictures say it’s a pack of 6… I’m a gambling man, in for a free cable (or possibly 6 cables.)

Y’all complain too much. So far this year the Amazon gift card has been offered for 2 out of 5 months.

If they keep that up, then I’m more than happy because it took me like a year or more to build up enough points under the old program. Just one Kellogg’s product purchase for an Amazon gift card is a stellar deal.

Get 'dem pennies.

@mrvietnam said in 250 points today 5/26! Burger King APP 'Thirst For Speed' Racing Game - Daily Prizes Crown Points or free soft drink see calendar of prizes in thread:

Remember to race today, Thursday, 5/26, and earn 250 crowns.

You are only allowed to redeem only one offer per hour. Does anyone know if you can redeem for multiple items and pay with crown points and not have that time between order requirement as offers do? I playef this promotion on two accounts and tonight I was hoping to get Whoppers for dinner for the whole family and cash out.

MC, please update the title to advertise today’s 250 crown prize rather than the prize from a couple days ago.

Two accounts means you can redeem for points for two rewards (whopper, etc.). You can’t combine with the offers. You can’t combine with the free drink. (this was when I last redeemed points, which was quite some time ago, so BK may have changed that)

An sd user reported combining the free drink offer with another regular offer.

Although if both accounts are on the same phone I wouldn’t even test my luck because there’s a $10,000 check grand prize for this sweeps.

This 50 SB email submission inbox pop-up offer credits instantly:

Sign up & earn SB instantly! P&G Good Everyday is a Rewards Program for your favorite brands, like Tide, Crest, Dawn Bounty and 60 more. Earn up to $150 + in Rewards annually for Brands you already use and love. Sign up today and earn 50 SB.

This offer on swagbucks is probably long gone, however, as an update - the gift card program just got substantially better for P&G Good Everyday. On certain occasions you can now redeem 750 points for a $5 gift card at ActivateRewards, which has pretty much every store available (at least for shopping online.)

I think I previously mentioned this, but I get the majority of my points from these quick surveys (as in 5 questions taking less than one minute total) and also quizzes (usually 3 - 5 questions for less than one minute total, the quizzes aren’t graded and you get points just for doing them.)

It is pretty low effort. If you buy Procter & Gamble products, you can earn points that way too. As a heads up, once you join there are lots of surveys and quizzes available, then they don’t refresh them for a while, then they start sending you emails with surveys and bonus point opportunities.

Low effort, pretty decent rewards, assuming they continue the ActivateRewards gift cards - if not then it pretty much returns to a Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts gift card program again.

Actually, it still available (click the pic):
Sign up today and earn 50 SB

• SB will pend for 7 days.
• No purchase necessary.
• Visit the offer to earn SB.

Thank you for linking the previous post, it makes the thread so much more user friendly. Actually, you’ve given us your insider tips on P&G a few times in this thread.

I’m glad to know that the program is even better now.

I thought if there was anyone still on the fence about joining, this would push them over it.

Surprised the link is still the same and is still the same offer, I should have tested it.

Payment selection email arrived. The choices are: Amazon, Target, or a prepaid Mastercard.

It takes an additional 24-48 hours to get the payment after selecting…

This week’s Swago has what appears to be an easier to get square for Discover, however I did two of those click and earn 1 SB discover activities and didn’t get credit for the square. Swagbucks might have forgot to add the 50/100SB or more to it, or it’s just a weird error for this morning.

Strangely, I got credit for the redeem SB for a gift card Swago square, but I redeemed my SB a week or two ago after the Team Challenge.

@fivetalents said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:

@ctujackbauer Are you going for the 800, 275, or 200 SB boards? I’m doing the cheapest and lowest effort pattern that pays the most (2nd row) for 40 SB (or 35 net SB).

“Strangely, I got credit for the redeem SB for a gift card Swago square, but I redeemed my SB a week or two ago after the Team Challenge.” <— me too… I redeemed a GC hours before activating my Swago board. The tile was empty at first but then populated after I refreshed my screen a few minutes later.

My Discover tile won’t populate either, despite getting credited for 6 different small value Discover offers after activating the board. I think it’s still probably coded as a 100+ SB Discover threshold on their end. I bet this tile has driven a lot of people to not bother with Swago or do far less than they normally do, They should just ditch it.

I was going for the full board because the payback was definitely there (I don’t mind the magic receipts) but with the Discover square error as it is now, I’m probably doing a much smaller row/column.

Wow, someone left a note on saying most of their free fruit is in their backyard, and that they would let you onto their property to get it.

It’s nice, but perhaps a bit trusting…

Probably another YMMV Kohl’s Cash/Promo. Check for email title: “Just for you … treat yourself to $5 off! Plus, earn Kohl’s Cash.”

What can I say - Kohl’s loves me.

@fivetalents said in Taste the toxin? Skittles ‘unfit for human consumption’, lawsuit claims:

I’m kinda thinking that if you’re still eating Franken-foods at this point (processed foods full of artificial chemicals, colors, flavors preservatives, etc.), you really can’t complain much when it tanks your health. Too much has been researched, published, and reported on this for too long to claim ignorance. Whether or not you chose to believe the science (and/or anecdotal accounts), at some point you have to take personal responsibility for your choices, IMHO.

On point. Some processed food seems unavoidable - I don’t usually make my own pasta, for example.

A good book on the processed food industry is Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss, who is an investigative reporter on the food industry.

@ctujackbauer said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:

I did a few peanut labs surveys from the discover tab, hoping that would qualify for the swago. Nope, they showed up under the Answer section in my activity.

Sigh, I give up on this swago.

They just don’t want to pay out that $25 so they make it too hard for most people. I did a 100 SB offer that was supposed to credit instantly about 5 days ago and it shows no sign of crediting or pending. I’m not making a MyGC+ purchase if I can’t complete the entire board and it’s too late now because MyGC+ probably wont credit in time. Colossal waste of time.

The current Swago board allows Discover offers of any value, and it is crediting. I’m glad they finally figured out that most 100 SB+ Discover offers took at least a week to credit and Swago only lasts about a week so uf you didn’t do it on the 1st day you’d the chance and have no time to buy anything from MGC+ if you planned to do the entire board.

I’m glad they finally changed it. Although that ‘refer a friend to swagbucks’ square might as well be the dawn wall for me.

Also, pro tip: never leave your swago board dependent on a magic receipt on a Friday because it can sometimes be rejected even on a clear receipt picture, and then Swagbucks customer service might not review the receipt over the weekend, leaving you missing a swago completion. Unless it’s Walmart where it shows the UPC.

It may not matter this time around… Swagit (at least for me) has been down for days. I’m sure that will prevent many from completing their Swagit and To-Do List tiles.

Ah, you might need to uninstall/reinstall or re-login. It’s been working for me.

Not going to risk it… it only works on one of my devices now (used to work on 3 of them) and it’s not in the Google app store any more. If they’re nor fully supporting the app anymore, I don’t want to risk re-installation via a 3rd party apk. This happens regularly for me with Swagit. It usually starts working again, eventually, but this is the longest outage I’ve experienced. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I don’t know about apk, it’s on the google play store though. For your other 2 devices.

@connman said in Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes Master Thread:

Rewards for August are:

• Eggo 6” waffle plates (set of two)
• (up to) $5 off Kellogg’s® Cereals
• $5 Old Navy eGiftCard
• $5 GLAAD Donation (again)

No Amazon eGC again.

Old Navy is good for me. They sell rather high quality jeans (for the price.)

Big SB amounts in the Swago coming up on Monday. I just assume I won’t qualify for the large offers this time, but maybe it’s an anniversary or something.
