Swagbucks 2020

Had an interesting situation today.  It was one of those surveys where (a) you are asked when you last bought any of several screenfuls of items (b) asked in considerable detail about your recent purchase of one item, and then (c) it asks whether you would like to repeat that section with another product, saying there would be an additional reward if you did so.  I usually say "No" and just take the reward (today's one was 35SB) but today I wasn't in a rush so I agreed to the repeat.  Unsurprisingly, when I completed it I only got the basic 35SB.  So I raised a ticket, saying that I would have expected an additional 35SB bearing in mind that I completed the voluntary section - and within the hour Customer Services had credited it to me!  I shall remember to do the same thing the next time one of those surveys comes along.

I had that 35 SB survey too a couple of days ago and agreed to answer additional questions for the unspecified additional reward.  As you experienced, no additional SBs.  I should have done the same as you but had no proof of the offer and so didn't submit a ticket but simply made a note never to agree to the additional questions.

I didn't take a screenshot of the question promising the additional reward, but I did copy the text and paste it into Notepad (which I use during every survey, for the survey number, URL, value, time etc.) and so I could quote it verbatim in the ticket.  Next time I will take a screenshot.

I just noticed magic receipts added under discover (potentially will become a square on SWAGO at some point in the future

https://www.swagbucks.com/shop/magic-receipts//0

Bit like clicksnap from Quido  - upload receipts to earn bucks instead of cash for various items purchased in certain supermarkets

I do hope not!  Looking at a few, they are limited to very specific stores - some are Tesco only, some are Asda only and so forth.  I shop at Waitrose and Aldi, and I only buy a couple of the things on that very short list, and their expiry dates are before I next go shopping - so I don't hold out a lot of hope!  Shame, because the offers are good - e.g. over 100SB for buying a pack of Bahlsen biscuits, which are often on offer anyway.  Maybe there are people who will go to a store they don't usually use, and buy an item they don't usually buy, for the sake of Swagbucks;  but I bet they are few and far between.

Pinched this pic from reddit of the last USA SWAGO https://www.reddit.com/r/SwagBucks/comments/nhuo4n/may_swago_may_24th_31st/

upload a receipt was on the USA ones for ages before they launched it over here and now it's on ours, I would expect anything that becomes available over here to appear on our SWAGOs after a while, purchase a giftcard - not just redeem - has also been on theirs for a long time (they can earn more SB for the board but I preferred it without even upload a receipt) - they have a shopping list thing as well just adding an item that to that list does not mean you need to purchase it as well, bit like visiting sites on a shop swago.



With the Quidco version of cashback for uploading receipts they would update with new ones or sometimes extend the dates on existing ones so there were always some on there.

Have to earn points from SB live

Shoply Scan & Earn – Scan a barcode in-store in the Shoply app to mark off this square.

MyGiftCardsPlus – You will need to purchase a gift card from MyGiftCardsPlus to complete board, this can take up to 2 business days to process, so plan ahead.

Interesting info on the USA swago, I have a printer so doesn't bother me but I think print coupons is unfair as not everyone does own. In light of covid, you would have thought they would have taken the upload receipts off as well

Hubby picked up the Original Source shower gel for me from Asda when passing, I love it as vegan and cruelty free. I couldn't get it to submit on my iphone it kept saying product not found, so tried on my ipad and it said they will review. An hour later I had an email to say my receipt would be processed in a few days and I'll receive the 136sb. 

So if it work fab as I buy anyway, if not it was only £1, but I wouldn't go out of my way to a shop just for one of the products, but Asda is just down the road from us anyway.

I'm hoping they use Ocado as one of the online supermarkets, as I only usually go to Sainsbury's & sometimes Iceland in-store.  As you say, unless there's several hundred SB, it's not worth going out of your way to a supermarket that isn't that local.

If you click on the item it shows which stores the item is in. I noticed some items are only in one store and others online, so I guess you'd have to have a look at which items your interested in. 

I've just been credited the 136sb so a lot quicker than the few days they said in the email.
