I did this offer with the 'on demand' option as well this past Saturday and I'm still waiting to be credited. The charge is still pending though and is showing to be $1 more than what the checkout and my confirmation stated. Hopefully when it posts it will be for the correct amount and I'll be credited the SB for it.

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! However, had I known this might be the case, I probably wouldn't have wasted $10 on a razor! Hopefully the 2,000 will appear and it won't be a waste! But I'm always leary of these offers!!!! Hulu was great, credited within minutes! I was hopeful this was the same!

I just received an email from Swagbucks asking me to click on a link to tell them why I was leaving Swagbucks. The email said I would receive 50 points for clicking the link and another 50 for filling out the short survey. I have no idea why they sent this since I love to get my Swagbucks on, but I thought, "What the heck, I click it and see what happens." Sure enough, 50 points were deposited into my account. I then filled out the survey letting them know I love Swagbucks and wasn't going anywhere , told them they should add Disney gift cards to the Rewards and hit send on the form. Again, 50 points added to my account. Y'all might want to check your emails!

Was this in your SB messages or in your regular email?

Regular email. In Gmail it was in my Promotions folder.

I still can't believe it, I got one of the 100SB search wins! Bonus, I had a double search win Swag Up!

So was it totally wrong that I had a split second of disappointment that it wasn't the collector bill I was looking for?

On a side note, I had tried about 10 searches while in Edge using the swagbucks web search bar, no dice. Opened up Firefox, signed in, I have it as the default search engine so I used the firefox search bar and bam, first search, search win. Again, probably a coincidence, I was probably 'due', but that's just uncanny. I did get a collector bill on Monday in Edge so it does happen, just not as often. That's the only collector bill I've gotten so far so I'm not holding out hope of completing that promo.

I just did the Gillette offer. I did the 'on demand' option. How long will it take to credit? I can't find anything on it and the last offer I did credited immediately, so now I'm worried that I wasted $10 on a razor!

I did the Gillette on sunday, on demand for the 5 heads with a handle for $10 and it credited instantly. I think there was something in the offer text about making sure ad blockers were turned off before completing the offer. I don't have an ad blocker installed so I didn't have to do anything different.

I ordered the same and I also don't have any ad blockers, but I'm glad it credited instantly for you.

Hmm, that makes me think it was an error and there's a pretty good chance they'll be taking back the points. Best go watch 100 sb worth of videos so I still make my second goal.

If they still had the Lowe's for 10% back with the 100sb on top I would have bought one of those,

Just wanted to mention that the Lowe's 10% back deal is still there. I just bought a Lowe's GC this morning (I need it anyway) and the deal showed up fine.

Just signed in to say the same. For giggles and kicks I checked out the gift cards and noticed the banner was back, so I put it in the cart and got 600 sb.

Thanks!

Regarding the email some of you received, Swagbucks posted this one their FB wall last night:

Hi Swaggernauts, we have an important message regarding a couple of emails you may have received this afternoon. One such email promised 100 SB (50 SB for clicking on a link and another 50 SB for filling out a survey) and a separate email stated you had a certain amount of SB to use towards a gift card. Rest assured, those emails did come from Swagbucks however, there was a glitch in our targeting system and those emails were sent to unintended recipients. We're very sorry for the inconvenience and concern that this has caused you.

A burner CC is a visa/mastercard/amex ect Gift card. i normally have $5 to $10 loaded that way it declines when something auto renews. i rarely use my personal CC.

These are the vanilla cards that charge an activation fee?
Do you load them with another CC to keep that $5-10 on there?
I've always avoided those Visa/MC but I can see how that would be a good thing to have for auto renew offers.

In my opinion, this is a somewhat risky strategy. If the company can't charge your card, they can send you a bill, which if you don't get for some reason will make your account delinquent. This could be reported to the credit reporting agencies as an unpaid item, which could really harm your credit score. This was an eye-opener for me:

I, personally, am just redeeming some of my SBs for the prepaid MC. Then I use those for any deals I want. I wouldn't want to pay an activation fee to keep a small balance card. In my mind that would defeat the purpose. This way I also know I won't get carried away doing "deals" because I don't have a blank check sort of speak for spending. I am only using SBs I've earned to do anything SBs related.

I have used some prepaid GCs others have given me and kept a low balance on them to use if I needed a card for some sort of free trial where I didn't feel comfortable giving my actual CC info. But none of those are in any way attached to my actual CC.

I don't use my real name on any of these deals. most of the time i send to my old address. can't ding my credit if i don't exist but there are some services i fell in love with. i went in and changed my name and put in my bank info. i'm more than happy to pay for a service i will actually use/want.

Still waiting on Gilette credit of 2000sb's. Anyone contacted support yet and how quick did they resolve? I made sure there was no ad blocker before going through with the offer just so there would be no issue getting credit.

AYCE 3 sb now requires me to have the screen up at all times. it won't even play without the screen being visible. doesn't SB know i'm at work?!

I have this problem today, luckily I'm just at home so it's not a big deal. Can you make the screen as small as possible but it's still technically up?
