Those using swagbucks ???

[alievans719]

Now I'm worried that it really didn't "take" for me. I was nervous about the site being secure, so I stopped in the middle of registering. It logged me out. When I went back through Swagbucks and logged in again, it let me continue registering. I finished the task and got the confirmation, with the notice it would be credited to me within one business day. But since several of you were credited right away I'm wondering if I messed up by doing this in two sessions? It's been four hours and I haven't been credited yet.

I wouldn't get concerned until tomorrow. I know I saw on facebook someone saying the same thing and they said send it to support. I'd wait just to make sure, then contact support.

As for cashing out, I used to only do it at the end of the month. Because of swag-ups, and me wanting the cash sooner(vaca is coming soon) I'm kinda cashing out every $25.

My fitness is gone today as well. I have been doing the one with the lady running in the woods over and over for 1-2 weeks. She is gone today.

I've been doing the nCrave categories that are worth 4SB as much as I can all day and guess what? The Fitness and Lifestyles categories JUST appeared! They have not been available all day, even when I reloaded the page then all of a sudden they were there.

Just a heads up if you were using Bing to redeem for Swagbucks. I went to redeem today and there was a note on the Swagbucks reward that it would be removed from the store on Aug 31. So if you're close to redeeming, you might wish to do so as soon as possible.

AHHH!! I just joined Bing specifically for this! I redeemed my first 500 just this past week. Dang it! Guess I'll try to get enough between now and the 31st to redeem again

Well, that stinks!!!! I've only been doing it for a month and it's been working out great. Got my 1st $5 SB after only 3wks and it was easy! I'm prob going to get 1 more before the 31st. Too good to last I guess. Any other suggestions on how to turn Bing points into Disney GC or Disney something? I am only doing this for purposes of paying twd my Disney trip.... Not like I want to save up for an operation or anything.

BTW- thanks for letting us know about this.

Well shoot! That's why I joined Bing also. I guess I'll continue for Starbucks or Amazon cards. Maybe they will add some new cards when they remove Swagbucks?

Loved the Visa sign up today. I had a Visa gift card that I used so I wasn't worried about it not being secured. Credited right away.

Agreed, I'd love to hear if anyone else has tips on this! I'll probably save up for starbucks or Chipotle since I'm big fans of both of those, but I was using Bing specifically as part of my disney gift card algorithm!

Ummmm..... a Target GC would be NICE!!!!

For all those bummed about Bing dropping SB's here are some suggestions - Starbucks cards to use at one of the park locations, Amazon cards to purchase items you might need for the trip, Shutterfly credits to make autograph books for your kiddos...those are the things that came to mind for me. It's such a quick process that I'll probably keep doing it and switch to one of the above rewards. It's not directly Disney money, but it's savings in another area that I can then apply that money saved to Disney

 

[crazymomof4]

Looking over the redemption options on Bing, I see they have Gamestop GC. I could "launder" those through my 18 yr old DS. I give him the GameStop cards and he gives me cash twd WDW savings.... which I turn around and use to buy Disney GC at Target or Sams Club. Sounds like a plan!

how do y'all get bing rewards? is it only the 30 something a day or is there a way to get more like on swagbucks?

Yeah, being more "adult" I should really use it for Amazon gift cards. If nothing else I can use it to buy Prime Pantry items so that way we're not paying for toilet paper

Generally 26-30 points per day. Mondays are sometimes higher because of the trivia quiz. Once you reach Gold status you get a discount on rewards. I know of no additional ways to earn Bing rewards. It's not a huge money maker, but was nice to get those 500 Swagbucks from Bing every three weeks.

Aw man, this sucks! I joined Bing just for this purpose. I hope I can get another reward before August 31st. It is really easy though, maybe I'll keep it up for Amazon or Starbucks.

I'm gonna use the Amazon cards for Prime Pantry...but for the order being delivered to our resort. Only halfway being "adult" I suppose

Either way, it's definitely the best use of a Prime Pantry box! We did the same for our April trip.

When are rewards posted account from winning streaks. I just hit 14 day, it is highlighted in blue star but I don't think I received my 100 points.

They will post around the 5th of next month. If you get 31 days, you get 300 SB (in addition to the bonus amounts for hitting your daily goal); if you hit for 21 days you get 200, if you get only 14 days in a row for the month you will get 100 then. It's cumulative for the month, although I think I did get a 7 day and 14 day award one month I missed some days.
