Swagbucking into 2018

Normal swagups are applied in turn (one per giftcard), usually using them in expiry date order.

I won 2 x 50sb rebate on giftcards, then a 950sb rebate on a £10 giftcard, then another 2 x 50sb ones as posted earlier. I spent the first 2 50sb ones on £5 giftcards yesterday and then I claimed a £10 one today. However, it has just given me another 50sb rebate rather than the 950sb so now I have no chance of claiming it in time, especially as I still have another 50sb one that will probably apply itself first. I daren't even use the remaining 38 spins I have in case I get another 50sb one

10min 200sb survey if you work in a Very Large company in the finance sector as a credit card provider. Quite nicely it also allows you to go back and change your answer if you accidently pressed something you didn't mean and got kicked out. Mistakes can happen to all of us so it's nice to get a 2nd (and 3rd and 4th etc.) chance to get it right!



Edit: woohoo I had a 20% survey swag up I'd forgotten about too so that was an extra 40sb bonus on top!


Also, 10sb instant on what you'd spend money on if you were given a lump sum.

160 SB (£1) per 5 minutes would be a fair amount if they always paid out but given their failure rate they should probably be paying around 250 SB per 5 minutes or 50 SB a minute.

I must have completed thousands of surveys for numerous different sites over the years and Swagbucks is the only site that has EVER failed to pay me for work done.

I have to agree here - the survey failure rate on SB is astonishing compared with other sites. I very rarely do surveys on SB due to this.

Survey 34640029 is a completely weird mix of "what is your general knowledge on this matter" arranged as a quiz. I did get the 40 points on offer, but its still odd. Fine by me

Doesn't matter if all 38 are swagups you don't use as you haven't actually lost anything and there is always the chance of winning 10,000 or 2,500 SB - which would also allow some more swagups to be used.

I really want to be able to get the 950Sb rebate on a £10 giftcard though! It would seem as if they are applying all the 50sb ones first, regardless of the order I won it in. Therefore, I would like to be able to scrape redeeming another giftcard of any value (probably taking a hit on the £3 Amazon one) and then another £10 one for the 950sb rebate. It's unlikely I will manage it in time now but I haven't a chance if I 'win' another 50sb one.

It seems they've changed the Booking Buddy loophole. I did it yesterday, have recieved the 10SB but no 500SB bonus. Just looked at the Swag Up itself and it now says in the small print that the purchase must be over $25. Looks like I've just missed out!

That is so strange because I span the 950 first and it was the first to release.
I’ve used all my 50SB ones now too. I confess I was holding back in case Black Friday gave discounts but I have over 6000 pending I will have by then

My 500SB one seems not to have triggered despite me getting the 10 SB from booking buddy. Hmm

Have you checked the expiry dates? - they should show even for the ones you have used

All SwagUps have an expiration date. If you have multiple SwagUps applied to your account for the same type of award, i.e., multiple SwagUps that issue rebates, they are applied on a “First to Expire Basis”.

They all have the same expiration date on them.
