Anyone have any good strategies for the swag codes given out during either SB Live? Or am I going to have to follow facebook or twitter or something?

I only got one or two of them from SB Live, when I was logged into the swagbucks website on my pc. I’m not sure if its a notification issue (my phone’s notifications over wifi and cellular are kinda busted) or if I’m not doing something right.

The SB Live app has a 5 SB Swag Code about once a week or less (if no weekday code is announced on their FaceBook page, that’s a big clue that you have to play that evening’s SB Live game to get the daily Swag Code).There are no dedicated alarm-like alerts for it… it’s a bonus for people who played the game (on Mondays or Tuesdays I think). Other than a brief mention on their FB page in the announcement post about that night’s game (see example pictured below), they only verbally mention any bonus swag codes in the app at the beginning and at the end of qualifying SB Live games.

After the answer to the final SB Live question is announced, a page pops up for you to claim any bonus SB won/inform you that you won the game. Ater you tap on/respond to that page, another page pops up with a ink that takes you from the app to the website offer page on Swagbucks for the sponsor for the game you just payed; the bonus 5 SB will be on that webpage. You can leave the website for a moment to go back to the SB Live app to hear any final announcements before the game officially ends… then go back to the webpage and claim the SB (you usually have until 10:30pm to claim it).

Swag Codes are only announced on their FaceBook page… there may be a FB tool or feed you could use to manually setup FB alerts, but i know nothing about that. The only alarm-like alerts sent for Swag Codes is a mobile alert sent when you have the main SB app installed but, again, these will not include alerts for codes earned by playing SB Live. You can also google for 3rd party websites that you can sign up to for free that alert you when a new code is out.

Thanks! Very helpful.

I think I had trouble with the second pop-up. I always claim the SB at the end, but I must have missed it all those times. I think I only got it once.

This is a one-time use code. Go here to get your unique code:

I had no idea it was one-time use and custom for everyone. Thanks for the heads up fivetalents!

I’ll edit out the one-time use code part of the post.

New Swago.

Looks like the middle square is in-store cashback (remember to load the offer, and remember to add a card). There are some pretty reasonable stores in there like Bed Bath & Beyond or Macy’s, plus quite a few stores in malls.

@ctgolfer

I posted on sd. For the glory, of course

also gave hat tip (h/t) to you at the bottom of the post.

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

@ctujackbauer Or you can just punch in KFRQ-UIZB-IGPO-INTS and get the 500 points, I’m guessing…

If it works, it works.

I was worried that it checks if you take the survey first and only then gives you the points, so I didn’t post the code.

(YMMV, probably targeted email) for a survey/quiz that takes about 2 minutes, 500 points, email titled “Earn 500 points with this quiz!”

@meezer_mom said in PSA: Hendricks vs Starkist (old closed class action from 2015 paid out via paypal):

Nothing yet. But I wanted the coupons. I love tuna.

Apparently there was the option for $25 in coupons (according to SD posters) but they got paid the $2.38 settlement anyway.

I think they just sent the paypal payment to the email address that you used to file the claim, so might be worth checking into @Meezer_Mom

Just a heads up, I got a class action settlement for this one, but no notice by email, it just showed up in my paypal account with the details of the class action. This was an extremely old class action from 2015 that finally paid out a few days ago. You may want to keep an eye on your postal mail for this one too, because I don’t ever remember giving them my paypal email address.

The class action was Hendricks vs Starkist. (Starkist tuna.)

Meh. MEH I SAY.

No warehouse/wholesale clubs like last year’s 4th quarter? Guess I won’t use it at Costco this year. They’ve been alternating years in which Costco is a 5% category.

Thanks for the heads up though @fivetalents

@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.

Also also, how do I get to the daily goal (part of the swago board)? I did the daily to list, but can’t find the first and second daily goal.

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 those 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 your all of the bills you’ve ever won on your activity/account ledger:
     

   • 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). f 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).
   

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.
   

HTH

Thanks fivetalents, I found the daily goal and edited my post, you must have been typing, thanks! The tips on searching makes sense, I didn’t realize it wasn’t a pay to search thing (kind of like msn/bing rewards haha)

Well the last 2 kmarts in Kentucky are closing. It was fun while it lasted. Refresh my memory on using points during the closeout, can you use them? Do the prices rise first and then lower?

But now your cows will go hungry.

@myisland said in Get a free $5 Target coupon when you get a flu shot at CVS Target locations:

@ctujackbauer Flu shots are toxic and don’t even work. A huge scam.

@ctujackbauer said in Get a free $5 Target coupon when you get a flu shot at CVS Target locations:

1 per customer.

I’m wondering if someone has tried to get multiple flu shots just for the coupon.

I’m sure they’ve tried. But it’s tied to your cvs/target account and since it is limit 1 per person in the tiny print, I think the coupon won’t print out.

https://www.target.com/c/pharmacy/-/N-54y52 if this link doesn’t work, go to the Target homepage and scroll down to stores at the bottom of the page and then select Pharmacy.

Target store locator will show which ones have a pharmacy location if you search and filter results.

Flu shots are often free if you have insurance. They’ve had this deal a few years in a row, the coupon is usually printed on receipt paper instead of getting a gift card.

Only valid at CVS Pharmacy, Longs Drugs, and Minute Clinic locations within Target stores, August 19 to December 31, 2019. 1 per customer.

On the homepage of Harkins Theatres: https://www.harkins.com/

$5 movies for My Harkins Awards members Aug 30 - Sep 4.
Includes Cine1 showings, which is Harkins premium theater.
$1.50 reservation fee is still applicable if you’re reserving seats online, but there’s no fee if you chance it and walk up to the box office to get your tickets.

$8 movies for non-members (it is free to join, though)

Harkins Theatres has movie theaters across Arizona, some good southern California locations, and a few in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas.

I’m pretty sure all of the theaters have recliners and reserved seating.

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.

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.

This also includes the 4k disc versions (not 4k digital codes) of the Caesar trilogy (the 3 recent ones). You’ll get one code that redeems all 9 movies for digital HD.

Some of the amazon reviews mention getting the set in a different language for subtitles, and the digital codes being valid only for Canada. So I’d beware of that.

Fortunately, this is available at Best Buy for the same price (amazon is matching them) which would nearly guarantee you an English version with working US-based digital codes. And you can test the discs (I doubt you could return after redeeming the digital HD codes though).

UYEJ576A

generic code for $1.50 off, today only.

I may have to beg for a MLB ticket thing but only if they use stubhub (have a gift card to use up). Hopefully they’re not from one of those random ticket brokers like they do for concerts sometimes.

Use $.01 filler to add another $20 off $75 to bring this down to $109.99 + filler.

(I’m not sure why staples requires the filler because it is $129.99, but when you add the coupon that’s what it says)

coupon code: 43564

If you’re doing the Sunday subscription, try calling and telling them you don’t want the premium issues. They shouldn’t charge those against your account.

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.

Should be multi-use. Code available to everyone, $1.50 off dvd/blu/game, expires tonight.

I loved their $10 off $10 coupon giveaway deals, and their clothes are usually high-quality (at least for the price).

They better have one last Black Friday coupon giveaway! I never got more than $10 off $10.

Check if you got a $5 when you spend $25 at U.S. office supply stores too.

Will stack (you can see the office supply store addresses for Staples in the amex offer, but a lot of the other addresses besides Office Depot/Staples aren’t real office supply stores)

According to arstechnica, customers have to pay $4 a month to send all suspected robocalls to voicemail, or else they get a free version which only lets you manually put them on a block list.

I must have clicked that Postmates offer and sent it to my email some time ago, I don’t remember when. I wasn’t able to redeem it.

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).

The tap to download link in the email goes to a offer unavailable page: Offer Unavailable
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.

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.

Today’s SB Live quiz was crazy. Only 7 people won. They won about $142.

Had $2 in points expiring today, was going to place a Kmart order to pick up. Tried a can of dog food and some clorox wipes, got this new message:

Points cannot be used toward Marketplace, grocery and drug items.

I haven’t set foot in KMart since towards the end of 2018.

can’t believe you can’t spend your points on grocery items any more. that was one of the few decent ways to cash out.

Points still work on grocery items if you go to the store and opt to redeem the points in store. It’s just the order and reserve online through SYW for store pick-up that doesn’t work (at least since the past few days).

Were you a Coca-Cola rewards member before the Target offer? It’s only open to people who were previously signed up as a rewards member.

dangit.

I burned a rejoin on question 5 today. Made it all the way to the final question, but missed it. Could have won 213 sb, but only won 7 sb.

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

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

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.

Don’t forget to claim the reward after it hits 50,000 and unlocks (usually a day or two). Click the bell icon in the upper-right corner within 5 days of the unlock.

new flock-to-unlock $2 target e-gift card for 4 product codes.

https://us.coca-cola.com/offers/

Pretty sure not everyone checks the official coca-cola thread in free stuff, so I think it counts as a hot deal, especially since previous threads were hot deals.

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.

Are y’all sure that adding an espresso shot won’t be a 25 star per shot charge? On the rewards website it specifically has that.
