Team challenge starts Monday (it's only 2 teams so worth 100 SB for the winners and 50 SB for the other)

https://www.swagbucks.com/team-challenge?cid=246

Bunnies vs. Chicks Team Challenge

It’s time for the Bunnies vs. Chicks Team Challenge!

All members who participate and contribute at least 600 points to their team’s total will receive a SB bonus in the form of a SB Swag Up Rebate! Members of the 1st place team will receive a 100 SB Swag Up Rebate and members of the 2nd place team will receive a 50 SB Swag Up Rebate. The Swag Up Rebate will be made available by April 19th and expires on May 3rd at 7:59pm AM BST.

Going to be impossible for me to reach 600 with no watch.

Mobile apps 7 x 10  = 70 points a day 
Swag codes 5 points a day
Search 1 a day 8 points 
Discover 1 a day 20 points
That's 515 points in 5 days add 50 for visiting 10 shops and 35 for 1 survey = 600 points
That's without the 50 points a time from swagbucks live (up to 250 total) or getting more than one discover and/or search win a day.- would be hard without the mobile apps 
  

Are mobile apps working? I have Sportly and there hasn't been any videos on it all week.

Only 7sb earned on my apps today

Saw they were doing 2SBs for uploading a receipt.  Mine isn't being accepted.  On the approved list of stores it says Aldi, but at the top it says USA and Canada.  Why are they naming UK stores if they won't accept them from here?!

Everyday Receipts

Upload receipts from ALDI, Iceland Foods, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Tesco or Waitrose within 14 days of purchase to earn SB!

I spoke to Swagbucks Customer Support tonight and they confirmed that it only applies to US/Canada stores, "but plan to roll out to other territories soon", that's the same answer I received when I asked about coupons, so I'm not expecting anything soon !!
It's frustrating, isn't it.

I just had a go as I had a number of receipts.  The Sainsburys receipt I uploaded was immediately(!) accepted but not anything from ASDA (the upload system must have text recognition built in).  This fits with the banner text, i.e. Sainsburys named and not ADSA.  What they have said is clearly illogical because at least 2 of the named supermarkets are solely UK based.
Possible Related Opportunity Below:
I save receipts anyway as I participate in something called "Shop and Scan", which is worth exploring.  It felt like hassle to start with but one gets into a routine and I had around £100 last year.  Link below, looks like an invitation number is needed to register but I am sure they would invite on contact; Kantar is a reputable company. i registered on receipt of a local mail drop and they then sent instructions and a barcode scanner.

Thank you John1963, that is really useful to know. I save all my receipts too as I put them through Receipt Hog, Shoppix and Zip Zero, so when I actually get out into a shop and not an online delivery, (which may only be another 10 weeks !!), I'll give it a try :-)

Sportly pays the same as Entertainow has done for a while using the click to earn

Thank You!

I signed up with "Receipt Hog" (interesting but complicated?) and Zip Zero (very easy, seems to pay 1% of receipt total - have £1.77 pending!!!!) am wary of Shoppix, I have downloaded but see it's Kantar and I wouldn't want there to be a conflict with Shop and Scan.  Looking at the 5 (Including Swagbucks - once it's sorted) this is how they compare in value terms (high to low):

1. Shop and Scan: £1.60 per week (guaranteed) + the odd survey/bonus. £6.93 per month.
2. Zip Zero: 1% of weekly shopping + bills - This one "might" beat Shop and Scan but based on groceries only is worth around £3.80 per month.
3. Shoppix: Not too sure on this one but so far as I can tell (Googling) is worth around £2.50 per month.
4. Receipt Hog: Complicated but based on the 2 receipts I uploaded tonight "could" be worth £1+ per month (the juries out!!).
5. Swagbucks: Assuming that all the main UK supermarket are eventually included and based on my shopping habits (shop small, every 2-3 days) would pay (a paltry) £0.41 per month.

Whilst "Shop and Scan" tops the table it involves re-scanning all grocery shopping with a barcode reader and uploading receipts so time needs to be taken into account.  However, based on my shopping pattern, the 5 would pay a minimum of £14.63 per month or £175.68 per year (this ignores my moral dilemma in respect of Shop and Scan/Shoppix.

To Do List Bonuses (11/4)

Step 1 - 5 SB
Step 2 - 6 SB

Notes: (1) Hit a 80 SB survey on tumble driers + 24 SB search win which pushed me above the first goal of 96  (2) Theorem very light on short surveys today (3) Everything else as expected, sadly!

And for once I had a really clear Aldi receipt - so I uploaded it.  And they said "No merchant name"!  And it was as clear as a bell: "Aldi Stores".  I'm not going to waste any more time on that one!

Tried a Sainsbury's one today, very very clear store name. Tried three times and then gave up, not going to bother trying any more if it's that difficult
