Those using swagbucks ???

This is the longest I've ever been without the watch videos and ncraves. It's been since Tuesday. I've been relying on the 1 sb radium one videos. Slow going but what else can I do? Also trying to max earnings on the apps. Once or twice had to do a survey to make my first goal which I hate having to rely on because it can be so frustrating.

I've been without them at home since February. The videos show up but as soon as I click them I get the "oops that one got away" message and then they all disappear.

Probably, I got notice of a shop today and I thought it was one of my trips late last week but nope. It doubled a BB trip from 3/26.
They haven't corrected the glitches from a couple weeks ago yet either.

I mean if it means another 500SB I'm totally fine with it.

Ok, unless they change it mid course like the shop swago, if you're willing to buy any GC and can play SwagIQ, you can get the 450sb pattern. For me that's pretty good as the most I was getting before (if I was willing to buy a GC) was less than 200 because I don't get new referrals.

I started finding that if you move on to watch and the apps for a few days they usually come back. Someone on Facebook told me it's a version of swagbucks jail to make sure you're not a bot.

That makes more sense than their banning IPs thing. But there should still be ways around it. Yesterday I also had almost 0 bonus rounds on the apps. I also do the apps daily, watch only when I'm desperate. At least the 500 from best buy last week posted today so I'm ok without them.

Thank you for this! I thought I was out of luck for anything worthwhile since I don't have referrals.

There's no issues using an egift card at best buy for a gc correct? I've only ever used a physical gc. I need to get one more $50 dis gc and might as well get bb for the swago board now that they've added it. The smallest you can get is $50.

No there's no issues. I normally take a screenshot on my phone of my e-card and will just swipe through my pictures for the barcode for them to scan to my gift card. I've never had a problem and have done it at a couple locations.

Yep, no problem with eGC's, that's pretty much all I use. I was bummed to see that the minimum is $50 for the Best Buy one, I was looking for a $25 to pair up with a $25 SB cashout, but at least purchases 50+ are getting the extra 100sb bonus. So I might still do it if hubby decides if what he's looking at we can get in-store.

I was on the Watch page and my nCraves showed up again! Now I'm too afraid to close that window LOL

Trying to maximize as much as possible. I planned on getting $100 worth of gift cards to purchase something. Best Buy carries the gift card. So if I buy the $100 worth of Best Buy gift cards through mygiftcardplus I should be able to get the 100 SBs plus the 1200 SBs from buying 2 separate $50 gift cards at Best Buy ?

Yes, you can make it a little sweeter if you have a Chase Freedom credit card.

Buy $100 BB from MGCP, you get 200sb (1% + 100 bonus for 50+ purchase)
Pay using your Chase Freedom card through PayPal, you get $5 cashback (CF 5% category is PayPal among others)
Use the MGCP gift card to complete your 2 transactions of $50 each, you get the 1200 (2% + 1000 bonus)

All total should be 1400 SB + CC cashback/points ($5 if you have the Freedom card). I assumed you were paying for the MGCP gift card and not just using Paypal funds.

My ncraves just came back after 6 days! So happy! But I have no idea how to avoid losing them in the first place. Wish I did!

Saw this posted in the group challenge and found it interesting:

search manually three to four times for things like:

Wells Fargo Home mortgage
win the game
best deals on auto insurance
the sercret of life

THEN

go here and click Search the web. You MAY get search credit:
http://blog.swagbucks.com/2018/03/luck-of-the-swagbucks-collectors-bills.html

After that, repeat the process a couple hours later for more search credit. I've never had it work more than twice a day. But it works every day.

Thank you so much for sharing this trick! I hardly ever get search wins but I got a few Double Search prizes on Spin and Win so gave this a shot and it worked like a charm! I'll be using this from now on, thank you!

I did two best buy purchase ($50 disney cards) with two QR codes last Tuesday and the bonuses haven't appeared yet. They usually come within a few days, so I'm nervous! The shopping trip has posted and I have the 100 SB pending from each purchase, so it's not like it didn't go through! HMPH!

They're taking slightly longer. Mine posted yesterday.

Hm, apparently I went this past Fri & Sat (I thought I separated that out better but I guess not) and both shops were picked up today. And now the bonus for both just posted in the last hour or so. How long has it been since the shops went to pending?

I was just checking in to see how long the BB purchases are now taking to show up. I made my last purchase on April 2 and the shop credit showed as pending by the next day with the 500 SB bonus showing up a few (nerve-wracking) days later. I made (6) separate purchases on Sunday and so far, nothing has posted to my account. I know it's only been 2 days, but it's still making me very nervous. Since these are in-store purchases, I don't even know how you are supposed to file a ticket for them. I have all of my receipts and they all show the "Swagbucks $0 Affiliate SKU" on them so I know that it registered the QR code on each one.

After reading the posts here, I feel better. I see that it has been taking 3-4 days for the shop credits to show as pending and up to a week for the bonuses to post. I was hoping to get them by the end of the month, but it doesn't really make that much of a difference...as long as I get them.

I made the purchase last Tuesday, and they were pending by Thursday. This is the fourth time I've done the BB deal, and they have always had the bonus in there by day 4 or 5, usually earlier. I sent an email to the "help" people, but I got back the response about needing to wait at least 32 days before starting an investigation, which is frustrating.

Just give it some time. And hang on to the receipt until the credits all clear. I've been scanning mine and keeping them in a folder on my desktop.

Each time you generate a code it creates a trip ID that you can use for the help ticket (if it comes to that). If you did them all at the same time you'd have a group of 6 all together on one day to use for the tickets.

That sux, hopefully you'll be surprised this week. If it was just the auto response that said that you may be able to respond back and get a real person to look at it before then.

Yup! I see that batch of six. Thankfully, I printed them the day before I went. Otherwise, I would have thought they were the actual visit to the store and I would have thought that they were tracking the trip without a purchase.

Bought a bb gc for my swago square this morning and had the gc and sb points within 10 min. I love it when it's fast! First goal is met. Now I'll head to bb to get a dis gc and get the 500sb to post some time this week hopefully. Then swago Monday dependent on when/if my ncraves come back before that.
