- 25-49 SB – P&G Signup / Signup for Weightloss Guide
- 50-74 SB – download and install TikTok, signup for an account / RevU signup for ShareCare RX
- 75-99 SB – still looking for this one…
- 100-149 SB – PinchMe signup
- 150-199 SB – still looking for this one. Reddit user says to do Stack Up level 41 on OfferToro.
- 200-499 SB – still looking for this one. Reddit user says to do Academy free trial for 300.
- 500-1999 SB – $1 trial for Sirius XM
- 2000+ SB – CARE $19 Donation for 2000 SB
Overall:
- 44 SB spend cost (2 entries to giveaways + 1 SB earning from SwagIt).
- 20 minutes of your time with SBLive (since you need to stay to the end to claim your bonus SB for getting answers right)
- Probably $2 of real money spending, both of which get covered by SB earnings on the offers.
- Probably a couple hours of time doing the other sign-ups which pend very quick.
- Around $3-$5 or so of grocery spending to get a Magic Receipt (in my case I needed Cream of Wheat for home, which was a premium list item for 50 SB, so it wasn’t that painful).
Our Verdict
Sounds like a doable bonus with some effort. For someone with time to spare it could make sense, especially if you can combine with other worthwhile deals. Thanks so much to TDD for sharing all the abovementioned details and tips.

Had about 3 hours into it. A lot of time, as
TDD mentioned, was finding good offers. Worked out to roughly $22 hour with all the additional SB on top of the 5000 SB.
Middle column for 3000 SB was painless
You guys are so lucky, I have tried 4 hrs with multiple offers, none of discover offers are posted…
Allen The original info I sent to DoC was on Friday, I’ve gotten some more DP’s since then. Here is what I suggest for fastest results. Turn off your Adblocker, when doing all this. I had to do all of these on a PC: 1 SB – click one of the SB offers to visit a webpage (takes 1 minute) 2-4 SB – watch a video on TrueX offers, have to interact with video and claim reward (takes less than 1 minute) 5-9 SB – complete any offer on AdGate first and then claim the daily reward for 6 SB. Just complete a survey that is short to trigger the daily reward. Hell do a survey to fulfill the higher levels and then you kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 10-24 SB – Either complete a quick survey on AdGate or do one of the e-mail list signups in the SB offers. Takes a minute. 25-49 SB – P&G Signup / Signup for Weightloss Guide. Takes 1 minute to do. Or do an AdGate Survey 50-74 SB – Any AdGate survey will do. 75-99 SB – I did the AdGate Longer Fusion survey for 80 SB. But any AdGate Survey will do. 100-149 SB – For P1 I did create Pinata account for 100 SB. On P2 I did PINCHme signup for 100 SB, both are <5 min to do. 150-199 SB – This is the hardest to do since there are so few offers in this range. Reddit users say to do Stack Up level 41 on OfferToro. My OfferToro doesn't load on either account. On P1 I did the Credit Sesame offer under ayeT offers. On P2 I did the Experian Boost offer under ayeT offers. Both take <5 min to do. The problem was finding AN offer to do – I wasted so much time looking and so many offers failed to credit. Experian Boost require you put in your SSN to complete the account/offer. 200-499 SB – For both P1 and P2 I did MobileXpression which was 224 SB. Takes 5 min to do. Sign-up for account, download the Google Play app, open it and finish setup to completion. The only bummer about this is that it is worth 6000 points on Drop which is $6. I wasted so much time trying to find another offer in this category. 500-1999 SB – $1 trial for Sirius XM will work here. If you want to do it, do it through AdGate for 1000 SB. SB Offers is for only 700 SB. On my P1 account I did the Survey Junkie offer through AdGem. It is very easy to get 500 points (setting up your profile and doing all the surveys for your profile gives you 132 points. Surveys are so easy to complete. Then you cash out for 500 points for a $5 GC or Bank deposit. I did Amazon GC and got the GC later in the day. Immediately upon requesting the GC the offer was… Read more »
That’s a good tip on the AdGate surveys counting towards this. But after the first survey, it gets into the same situation as most survey sites, where I spend 5-10 minutes on a survey and then it says I don’t qualify.
First time completing a Swaggo board in full. Some of the smaller offers were harder to get vs bigger ones. Took me four days or roughly an hr each day
Thanks for the DP! I’ll pass
For 200-499, there is an offer on AdGate Media for 202 SB to install and create an account with MobileExpression and open the app. It is one of these phone data trackers that pay you in Amazon GC’s. I just created an account, installed the app (Google Play / Apple App Store link is given at the end of account setup), opened and went through the whole setup including turning on the VPN and giving access to the app. It was only after I finished the app setup that I was credited 202 SB. Took 5 minutes.
On top of that, completing this offer this enables you to get the 6 SB (usually 3 SB, but its 6 since everything is currently doubled on AdGate) daily reward which will get you the 5-9 SB box.
Note though, this offer is available on Drop for 6000 points, which is worth $6. I don’t use Drop, so I don’t really care, but for those who do, might not want to do it on AdGate for less.
Please note that the remaining SB Live games are today at 3:00 PM EST, and Monday at 8:00 PM EST.
I’m almost done with my swago board and I have to admit I’m enjoying it. I probably wouldn’t recommend it for a new Swagbucks user, but I think it can make sense for people who already know the site and can move quickly. You are earning for most squares you complete, so the swago board is essentially giving you a $50 bonus on top of your usual earnings. For instance, I’ve been lazy about signing up for the SoFi brokerage account, but it’s currently $150 on Swagbucks and it should fill the 2000+ box, so swago is sweetening the pot and I’ll probably pull the trigger today. In terms of recommendations, I followed a similar path so far as outlined above, mostly through small, quick surveys on RevU. I filled the 500-1999 SB box by playing Cooking Madness, which definitely took some time yesterday but it’s totally brainless so I played while watching tv. I also haven’t filled the 200-499 SB box yet, but I read a recommendation of completing Yahtzee with Friends up to the first award of Level 8, which shouldn’t be hard.
Again, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. If you earn a ton of money in your regular job this probably isn’t the way you want to spend your spare time and I get that. I’m a public educator so I’m happy to get money where I can find it, especially when the process feels a bit like a scavenger hunt.
I finished this Swaggo board in a couple of days earlier this week. I actually found it easier and more fun than the other Swaggo boards (that normally include buying gift cards and/or referring someone). Keep in mind that the boxes you fill should get you some extra money. My net profit, once everything goes from pending to paid, is around $57.
Couple of hints:
1. Be careful with Swagbucks Live. If you haven’t done it yet, you only have 2 (very) specific times left: Friday @ noon and Monday @ 5pm PST.
2. For SB amounts you cannot find on the “discover” page, check the offer walls: Swagbucks live, RevU, AdGate, AdGem, OfferToro, etc…
3. You need to be a new user/customer for most offers
4. Unless you have reputable guides that say otherwise, or are willing to spend money, you probably want to stay away from games with level requirements, especially this late in the game.
If you do an offer that pends for 7 or 32 days, do you get credit on the Swago board as soon as it goes pending? Or would you only get credit on the Swago board when it fully posts to your account (at which point of course the Swago will have ended)?
As soon as it goes pending, it fills the box. I finished Cooking Madness last night and it went pending for 7 days this morning. When it went pending it filled the 500-1999 SB box.
Awesome, thank you.
You get credit on the Swaggo board as soon as it goes pending.
Even getting multiple 🦊 stamps was way easier than this.
