Update 10/14/22: Deal is back, small money maker this time and free wine. Hat tip to reader Carl J
Update 8/8/20: Deal is back, says $45 off and 4,500 Swagbucks but it’s giving $50 off on the actual website. Hat tip to DDG
Update 5/8/20: Deal is back with $45 off and 4,500 SB ($45) this time (that’s what Swagbucks shows, though I’m seeing $50 off showing on the actual website). Should be a $10 moneymaker, I think, or maybe less after tax.
Update 4/8/20: Deal is back but it’s only a $5 money maker as you only get $45 off your first order not $50. Hat tip to DDG
Update 9/12/19: Deal is available again
The Offer
- Swagbucks is offering 4,500
5,000Swagbucks when you signup for a Bright Cellars wine subscription. - You also get $45
$50off your first order.
Take the 6 question quiz, and they’ll match you to the best wine for your liking. It’s advertised as a 6-bottle subscription, but readers say it’s really a 4-bottle subscription.
The Fine Print
Our Verdict
Cheapest is an $80 subscription package (4 bottles x $20 each) which will cost $30 after the discount, plus $10 shipping/tax. In the end, you should be able to land up with 4 bottles of wine + $50 back in Swagbucks for the cost of around $40. Not sure how good the wine is, but this sounds like a nice way to try them out.
- Remember to cancel before the second charge if you don’t want the service to continue. The terms are clear that just getting one month is enough to be eligible for the Swagbucks deal.
- Bear in mind that some people end up having problems either with the portal tracking or with Swagbucks deactivating their account for reasons which aren’t clear, so keep the risks in mind.
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.

Up to $60 cashback via Rakuten. Says you will only get cashback equal to your subscription amount, which for me in Idaho is $42.80. After placing an order, there was an option to add more bottles and corkscrews to increase the price but I wasn’t sure if those would track. Using BOA CC Online Shopping that’s hopefully 3% back and valuing MRs at 1.25 cpp, that’s a -42.80+42.80*.03+42.80*1.0125=$1.82 moneymaker and 4 free bottles of wine.
6000 MR posted to my account within a few hours.
$50 back via Capital One Shopping, ~$7 moneymaker
The offer did not track for me. I opened a ticket on 10/24 and provided the receipt, screenshots and a photo of the shipping label. They responded on 11/04 with “wait 32 days”. I pushed back and they finally applied the 5000 SB credit today.
Just received the following from Swagbucks:

Did the order show on the visited activity?
Update on this. Yes it showed in visited. I pushed back on the email they sent and immediately received the credit, both from swagbucks and mypoints. Bizarre.
Sounds good. I think they know the issue with this vendor, basically no one got the cash back automatically. Does everyone already cancelled the sub, my next delivery eill be in Jan, haven’t cancelled mine.
I got a very apologetic email from MP today stating that they ran into a delay in processing and that my points would be added to my account. I got 9k points, redeemable now, no pending.
I unfortunately threw out the box because since when does swagbucks require that? Anyway I responded with a PDF attaching my delivery confirmation/notification and other proof it was delivered. Didn’t say I didn’t attach a picture. Will see what happens.
I did the same. Opened a ticket and sent them FexEx delivery confirmation + order confirmation and they sent me the credit 6 days later.
I sent my FedEX shipping confirmation since I no longer have the box. It replied by asking me to wait for 32 days…sigh.
My ticket is still on day 5 and open, hoping for the best. Anyone reached to company for return yet?
If your order processed and you are outside of the 24 hour window, there is a $25 non refundable fee to have the order returned to our fulfillment center. If you would like to proceed with your order cancellation request, please reach out to our concierge team at 844-223-5527 or send us a message
I got a response and SB credit only after sending a second email with shipping label photo.
Got 5000 after opening a ticket. How are some people getting 9000?
that’s mypoints
Did this in Mypoints. Did not track but is in visited. Contacted support and they asked me to wait for 32 days to be credited which I think is highly unlikely happening automatically
Visit tracked in MyPoints, but no points pending. Opened a support ticket attaching order email and photo of shipping label on first box. Two hours later 9,000 points showed up as spendable.
