My DD27 did two $50 gc's at BB with the qr codes a few weeks ago, well before the change, and the same thing happened. I posted here at the time but seems no one noticed it at that time or responded. Nothing on the receipt referencing SB and never got anything, they weren't posted as purchases at SB. Had done a number previously that went fine. And have done 6 last Friday paying with a cc and those all went fine. The Swagbucks connection is printed on each receipt and the SB 2% are posted as pending since Sunday morning. Hoping the 500 SB x 6 post today. Plan to do another $300 later today, our store out of gc's on Sunday, so DD26's husband will try near his work.
Friday evening I called probably 10 different BB in the western suburbs if Chicago. All says no gc purchase with gc. All says it just happened a few days ago, and that it was due to fraud and gc scammers, some days they ruined it for all. They all seemed pretty surprised and but happy and apologetic. When I asked why sine still could, they said it was rolling out to all BB eventually, and soon no store will be able to sell gc to gc. And the last guy, he says of course you can, its like money. I didn't get too excited, I figured he just didn't know. I said are you sure, it's a bit of a drive. I asked him to check and why, He was gone awhile and was shocked when he came back because I was right, and he was the only one at his store who didn't get the email but should have (sounded like a manager or something). He wasn't happy with the new policy or that he didn't get the email. Very apologetic. $90 in BB to use sometime now.
Anyway, that's my sad experience lol. Ugh. But, as another poster noted, the deal for 500 SB and the 2% is still good, and I can use my SB cashed out to Paypal or cc so at least at this point that's still good!
alas I wasn’t drinking last night just obsessively researching and not getting much to show for it 
I googled up how much retailers make selling 3rd party gift cards to try to find some info and I talked to a fam member who assisted a school with gift card selling and asked how much of a cut they got (sold tons of 3rd party gift cards acquired via a vendor year round). I really wanted to learn more about the topic of selling other companies gift cards to understand how it works unfortunately they keep the information seriously under wraps. I found “it depends on the gift card” a few times and the range of 1-10% encompasses what I saw referenced. (Also made me think Target gets Disney at >5% off so they could be happy campers to run the volume of that gift card that they do.)
