Cashing out your swagbucks?

[Scottishbrit]

Yes I know. Yet another swagbuck questions....LoL. I have had SO many saved for a long ( years ) time and finally decided to cash them out. I have never done this before. Since Im saving for a WDW trip I decided to cash them our for a target card in which Im going to cash out for a Disney card. So I "snagged" the card tonight. Had them text me a code, and put in the code and saw that my 5,000 was deducted. Now I go under my name and see my gift cards, check on that and It should show up right? I was told it may take a few days to weeks right? But basically when it's ready it's there? I did look under order status and can see it says "verified." So then it's all there, right? Now I just wait?

I just cashed out my first as well! You'll get an email saying that your reward is now available, so it will show up in your reward section when its ready

I recently cashed out 5,000 swagbucks for a $50 Target gift card and it took nearly two weeks to get to me. I also cashed out other swagbucks for lesser Target gift cards, $5 and $10s after I put in the order for the $50. I was sent the lesser amounts way before the first order for the $50 gift card, despite the fact that they were ordered after the $50 one.

Right after I received the $50 card, I put in another order for a $25 Target gift card and it only took a few days to get to me. Because of this, from here on, I'll cash out in increments less then $50. It's easy enough to combine all the gift cards in the Target mobile app any how.

Does Target online have a limit to how many giftcards you can use at once? I want to try using $95 in giftcards and my redcard discount to order 2 Disney cards.

I would caution on saving SB's for years (or even months) --- sometimes people can get shutdown apparently (for various "violations") & then you are out all those SBs. I cash out as soon as I can.

I have had various gift cards take 2-10 days. I have had my target $50 ones come faster than my $5 amazon ones). There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

As for using the target gift cards online, you can use up to 4, however, you can combine them using the mobile app (possibly online, haven't tried) prior to your purchase. Additionally, if you have a redcard in your profile, you will get 5% off when using the Target Gift Cards online. For disney gift cards on Target, i have been limited to 3 before (but can do multiple orders) due to "supply issues" I think the most you can ever buy online in one order is 10. And those take a week to come. So don't wait to the last minute to do any of this. And as others will tell you, when you get your disney gift cards, make sure they are activated, cause sometimes the target people forget that step.

The amount has nothing to do with it. Swagbucks just credits on certain days. You're 2nd card must have been submitted close to an issue day.

I've given up trying to figure out how Swagbucks distributes the awards.

My son has been waiting on a $5 Amazon code for nearly two weeks. I just received a $25 Paypal in 5 days.

That's some good advice right there! In the past, I was always cashing out at $5 and $10 for this very reason. I just started Swagbucks again and it slipped my mind to do that and it racked up to 5,000 pretty fast that month.

That wouldn't be the reason either because the the 2nt and 3rd cards were ordered the day after and then the following day after that of the 1st card. But the 2nt and 3rd card came before the 1st card even arrived.

Yup, I'm right there with you. Who knows their reasoning.

Never hold on to points for any rewards program. You never know when they might go belly up & you are out the points and all your hard work.

I cash out any time I am able.

You can use 4 Target Gift cards. I used $95 in Target GC's to purchase 2 $50 Disney GC's & my Red Card online. The max # of Disney GC's per transaction is 3.
