Registration is open the next Swago game which is from 12am PT/3AM ET on Tuesday, February 19th through 6pm PT/9PM ET on Tuesday, February 26th. It includes the Spin & Win wheel.
It looks like you can earn a lot more than ever on board submits without buying a $50 GC (up to 325 SB).
Well, for the first time ever, the MyGiftCard Plus $50 GC purchase is not the center square, so the most you can earn on the board submit without spending “real” money is actually only 60 SB. Other than Stake n’ Shake, they’re currently no 20% off GCs worth getting right now anyway, so I wouldn’t recommend going for the whole $5 board.
If you’ve never considered SB Local (the center square), or dismissed it in the past due to a poor selection of local businesses, take another look. In my area they’ve added some major chain brands that sell inexpensive things (Sephora, Denny’s, Little Caesars). So, if the offer terms allow, you could buy something cheap that costs whatever your board submit rewards is minus 60 SB, it’s essentially a freebie + the CB on the offer. However, you need to allow plenty of time for the CB to credit before Swago ends. The most you can earn for the board with SB Local but no MyGiftCard Plus is 285 SB (so a ‘cheapie’ ay be more realistic than ‘freebie’). All things considered, having SB Local as the center square is not a good deal for members (last month the maximum no-spend board submit was 250 SB).
As always, whenever Swago includes the wheel, always complete all squares that don’t require spending money because you can earn a LOT from the spin bonuses (except the useless sweepstakes).
