Those using swagbucks ???

Those who cash out Visa codes, do you have to pay an activation fee?
I have cashed out for virtual visa and there is no fee for the virtual one. I just use it to buy a gift card online. There are other options available that incur a fee.
 

I didnt see anyone answer your question. From what I understand Swagbicks tracks IP addresses in case the same person with a different email has multipule accounts. I know others have a spouse in the same home which have accounts but I've read their spouse uses the site incognito mode.

There are 4 accounts in my house- mine, DH, DS, and DD. We are all on the same internet. Never been a problem.

ETA- We ususally don’t do incognito, however it has been awhile since we all signed up, so... Who knows with SB anymore? They seem to do things for no rhyme or reason anymore. lol!

same here one laptop for DH and I. Both have SB both have mypoints. I try to use incognito but i forget a lot. we have not had a problem yet. But i try to cash out quickly just in case. One time he was logged i and i thought i was and i did a survey and got points then i saw it was not under my name so i cashed out his and mine and waited. Nothing happened.

Okay thank you. I needed it for in store. I guess I should just stick to cashing out at Walmart for now.
 
Should the Gillette offer show as pending? I signed up, was charged, and have received my razors in the mail. But I have not been credited and nothing is showing up pended in my ledger. Its been about a week.[/QUOTE
Like PP, mine showed pending right away

I am not certain this is the way they do things. I've read both that SB allows same members in a family to have accounts and same IP addresses but also they won't allow the same IP address because they think it's the same person with just a different email account. I'm not sure if more recently they decided to track IP addresses or if it's because she used a referral link which alerted them that she has the same IP address as her referral or if her account is newer and shes referred a same IP address...IDK...they really do things without rhyme or reason. I know someone on here was booted from swagbucks because of an answer on a survey and then another user on here had her husband who had a good month and then he was booted....It's all very odd...

I'm not sure if the OP would be able to put a ticket in asking why her husband is not allowed an account if that may help clear things up...but it may help??

I agree i would for sure ask why. I referred my husband and we use the same computer. I have had SB for a while maybe 3 years and have been very active this past year. He has only had it for about 6 months maybe a bit more. We have not had problem yet. But i do cash out frequently just in case.

Couldn’t hurt to try...

We have had ours about four years. At first we all used two computers, now we all have our own. We’ve never had any problems, but we also don’t let our sb build up, just in case.
 
UPDATE:

I was deactivated on Saturday this last weekend. I sent in a ticket right away. Tuesday of this week I got a response but it said I need to electronically sign and send in a photo of my license. I did do that. I am still waiting. Here is my email to them and the one I got back. I understand what happened but it feels like I need to donate a kidney to get back on. The only reason I clicked on 2013 is because the survey did not give me any other years to choose from. There was a blank on that same page wanting me to type my age in. Which I did. I was just fixen to cash in on my points. I do not like their service at all. SBs seem to be very difficult.

I started a survey (which has happened before) and the month
and year would not drop down far enough to pick my year
1970. Today the lowest year was 2013. I chose it because
in the past, the next screen would work and I can pick the
correct year. The next screen showed an error but as soon
as I went to pull it down the arrow was gone. I chose the
lowest year to see if it would take me to another screen.
This time it deactivated my account. What the heck? This is
a survey. Not an actual log in or anything like that. I
understand the age issue but your surveys have GLITCHES. I
had a lot of points. My account needs to be activated back.

Should the Gillette offer show as pending? I signed up, was charged, and have received my razors in the mail. But I have not been credited and nothing is showing up pended in my ledger. Its been about a week.
I just did the deal and nothings pending either. I have no use for razors and only bought for the deal. I clicked through the link.
 
It costs you $0 OOP as long as you remember to send the box of stuff back :) You sign up through the link to have a box of kids clothes delivered to you. Once you receive the box you open it up, put the clothes in the return envelope, stick the prepaid label on it, ship it back and go into your profile to select "not keeping" on each item. Just pay close attention to the return label as I did Kidbox and Kidpik at the same time (both work the same way and both have SB offers ;) ), one label was for USPS and one was for UPS, I was in a hurry and stuck both the envelopes in the mail for USPS. It got fixed, but almost had to pay for the entire box that was shipped incorrectly.

Thanks for your step by steps, so easy!
So my DD28 and I both did the Kidpik deal about two weeks ago and we each got our boxes this week. We did the process as you described, opening and Returning right away. Made sure to choose to not keep each item, packed up, and sent back. Super easy and very user friendly! Also helpful instructions for fellow dissers, so thank you! Looked around and found where to cancel future shipments. But, now I’m wondering if we should wait to cancel until we get our SB. Did you, or anybody else doing this deal cancel right when returning items or did you wait to get The SB? Has anyone actually done this deal and received the promised SB? It’s a great deal if it works. And if you want the clothes they are super cute, lol.
Considering doing the Kidbox deal for 1750 SB but wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. If it works as good as kidpik that’d great, they’re great money makers! TIA!

Now I have another question. So with the BB/QR deal we’ve been doing, if i did them on the weekend - fri or sat, the 500 SB have been showing up on Monday. I’m wondering if we did one on Sunday, like late afternoon, Would it probably show up on Tuesday then for the 500 SB?
We are going on our trip to the poly to celebrate the 21st anniversary of my 39th bday,(according to DD28, lol), going early Monday morning!! So, trying to keep our SB Daily Goals going, been a hard swagging month and hate to lose by by not completing the last day or two. We figured we’d be buying the BB deal anyway, so doing one Friday, to probably post on Monday and then needing one more we thought about doing Sunday and hoping for a Tuesday post. Anyone done the deal on a Sunday and usually get a Tuesday posting?
I’m gonna try for coupons posting, been going pretty well lately, but it’s dropped to 50 SB. Won’t be able to run the apps too well probably so can’t count on that. Plus we’ll only have iPads and iPhones, to work on anything but realistically we won’t because of time and well, we are on vacation lol. August we’ll miss the first week, but would like to get July closed out if possible! Get us a few more dollars for our next trip!

Btw, was so excited the other day my SBTV app gave me tons of bonus rounds, getting i think it was 70-80 all from that one app in my iPhone!

Thursday, Friday, Saturday bonuses show up Monday generally. Sunday shows up on Tuesday.

OP here. My account is not new. I've had it for years. Just with the new 1 per day restriction on the Best Buy deal, I decided I wanted my husband signed up. I know I would need to "season" his account before even doing the Best Buy deal in his.

I will try putting in a ticket asking why they deactivated his account (before it was even set up).
