Those using swagbucks ???

Swago is up. That damn Buy a $50 GC square makes it so you can only get 75 SB unless you buy one. Any way to buy one to use for Disney?

Yeah, I was just thinking at least 75 is better than the 60 last time. I was waiting to see how they changed it up because the perimeter is 200... now I know

There's a few YMMV options in the MGCP offerings. You'd have to check your stores to see if it'd work for you. I do Buy Buy Baby (better normal earn rate than Bed Bath and Beyond). The other's I've heard about, but have no experience, are Sears and Safeway. But so far as I know there's nothing in there that's guaranteed to work.

I have gotten Southwest and Delta gift cards off there to help get to Disney.

Also if you plan to eat at one of Landry's owned restaurants you could buy one of their gc (Rainforest, Yak n Yeti, T Rex)

Wow, I just got my 500 sb bonus for my best buy purchase from Saturday! I got the shopping activity email this morning, so I assumed I wouldn't get the bonus for a few more days.

That was a nice surprise because I was struggling to make my 98 SB goal!

I did a SW one last year. Just have to be careful with them because you can only use so many forms of payment (I think it's 3) and there isn't a way to combine GC's. I waited until I knew how much OOP I was going to spend on the ticket and then bought just 1 since I had a Luv voucher I was using too.

What percentage are you actually saving with the Best Buy deal? $10 for ever $500?

It depends how you pay for the $50 gift card. I don't usually pay OOP. Instead I use best buy gcs earned through swagbucks or ibotta. If you did pay OOP then you'd get 500 sb plus another 100 sb about 30 days later. So you "make" $6 on a $50 purchase.

Oh! We are eating at t rex the first night. Good call!

I do Southwest, Uber (to get to the outlet) and Landry's

I was just coming back to post that again! I got notice today about my shop visit on 3/12 to Best Buy and sure enough I go and look and I have double credit for it as well. That was the one where I tried out $25 so now it's saying $50, I wonder if that will trigger a bonus? That's scheduled to post in a couple days so they only have a short window to fix it. I am not lucky enough to have anything coming from somewhere I haven't purchased yet like @Limes96
I know swagbucks is known for technical issues but this is just bizarre.

Ok, I just got 2 BB bonuses when I was only expecting 1 from Friday's visit. So I think it did trigger the bonus. I'm not going to spend it right away in case they fix the glitch, but I'll not complain if somehow they forget about it

In other news, my visit on Friday I bought a $50 Best Buy GC ONLY. I did it as an experiment and fully expected to not get credit for it, but I got shop points pending and the bonus. Since SB is glitching out on shops right now I'd take this with a grain of salt and not depend on it working all the time, but I'll leave it with you to do as you will with it.

Visit Cabela's, Children's Place, Banana Republic and Macy's on mobile are all not crediting on my swago board.

Harumph. SB is all whacko today. Just got my coupon print bonus from Friday. Printed 100 coupons. Supposed to get 2 sb per coupon but they only awarded 100 sb.

just got 200SB from printing coupons on Friday.

For those of you that did the target Pura d’or, I know it takes a while to credit, but did it show pending first(after you sent in reciept)? I seem to have the hardest time having big dollar things show pending!

No, it just credited once it was approved on the offer page. Check back on the page where you submitted the receipt and it will tell you your status.

I didn't get any yet I printed Friday and Saturday. I skipped Sunday because if both Fri and Sat showed up on Monday that would have taken care of my first goal (and then some). I printed the rest today in hopes they credit tomorrow and take care of the first goal too. And now I'm pretty much out of stuff to print so I hope I actually get credit for any of it.

ETA: Ok sometime after I posted I got my prints from 4/6 and 4/7 BUT I too only got 1sb per print. I know because I only got "39" for one day. Which then brings me to, again I didn't get full credit for what I printed and I'm not sure why. I know I printed more than 40 one day and more than 60 the other. I got 39 and 64. So it's possible I'm only missing a couple but I don't know where those couple disappear to

I'm trying to get the cross pattern on Swago (I can't think of any GCs I need right now) and Cabela's isn't crediting for me either. I've tried mobil on phone and Ipad as well as regular shop on desk top and still nothing.

You have to do it on desktop with the Swagbutton installed and 'activate' the X% back on the website for it to work. Swagbucks messed up on the labeling.

Yeah, found that out the hard way with our 2015 trip. Bought 6 $100 SW cards. Ended up having to book the fights for my wife and I separate because of that. Now I buy one $500 and one $100 card.

Me too - I did coupons Friday, Saturday & Sunday, and although they all posted, none are 2SBs per coupon. Are you going to submit a ticket?
