    Notes: (1) Hide out under AdscendMedia is worth checking out, points take time to build but it runs on and does not need nursing (2) Desktop Watch is working for me again now.

    So what's this about? I had 200 points or so but it didn't credit any SB and didn't tick off daily discover.

    You need to select swagbucks before redeeming the points?

    I didn't see any option to redeem the points.

    Log in to hideout, left click on the small head an shoulder silhouette, click on 'Loyalty Program Rewards' in the drop down menu that appears. There will then show your points with a green button below. Once you press that you'll need to 'choose a linked account' and then redeem. I usually have to go full screen in chrome to see all the necessary buttons.

    Lungboy, before you redeem: As I posted in the Hideout thread, the pay rate at Swagbucks is nowhere near as good as other sites, so I'd really recommend checking out somewhere else like Keep Rewarding, which pays about twice as much.
    Their rate is 0.8 cents per 9 Hideout points, and you can also pick up a bonus of 5 cents if you redeem enough points to earn a dollar in a day.

    I think it's only worth redeeming a few to Swagbucks if you really just need 1 or 2 SB for a goal or some other bonus. This means only having a few points in your Hideout account, because although you can vary which sites you redeem to, each redemption can only be to one site and uses up all (or very nearly all) your points.

    I don't have a hideout account and this all sounds like far too much effort for a few SB or pennies

    I was also on the winning team (first time for a while) and the swagup is there but no previous ones are showing.

    Just looked a bit closer and where the headings are this
    Swag Up: Expiration Date: Status: Amount

    both "Status" and "Amount" are sort options, it appears "status" defaults to "available" the other options are "applied" and "expired" so changing to "applied" should bring up your old ones (not the missing available one) - "Amount" is just a "high" or "low" sort.

    If you're a regular user of sites like Swagbucks and consider it worthwhile earning at those kind of places, using Hideout's one of the easiest ways to boost your earnings with them because you don't have to do much apart from let the videos run and occasionally check on them!

    All you need is to go to https://hideout.tv and create an account first, then run the videos through Hideout or a partner site like Swagbucks (or a much better one like Keep Rewarding!) and redeem the points whenever you like. Simple, and doesn't involve much effort at all.

    Might be worth holding off redeeming if you're close until the Swago starts on Monday.
