Update 7/29/19: Deal still going, you can do a few per day (2 or 3 or 4, depending on the day or on the person).
The Offer
- Swagbucks is selling Swagbucks at face value. This means that you can buy 2,000 Swagbucks for $20. Swagbucks are worth a minimum of 1¢ each towards things like Paypal cash, Amazon gift cards, or Virtual Visa gift cards.
The Fine Print
- Unknown limit, seems you need to wait a short period in between each purchase (2-3 mins). Most I’ve seen people buy is 9
- residents of AZ, CT, MD, and ND are not allowed to make SB purchases due to applicable state law
Our Verdict
This deal isn’t as good as previous deals with a 10% discount, but can be useful for meeting Swagbucks goals/generating a small amount of credit card spend. Personally I think it’s only worth buying when discounted rather than face value. Citi Access More earns 3x Keep in mind each month you can purchase one $25 gift card for 2,200 swagbucks so it’s possible to get more than 1¢ in value. Otherwise, you typically get 1 cent per point via Paypal. For more Swagbucks deals click here. Try waiting a few minutes and you should be able to purchase more

Looks like the purchase limit may have been changed today from 4 per day to 2 per day. 2 of my friends and myself were only able to make 2 purchases.
So new to SB and ordered a Virtual Visa card several days ago but didn’t receive anything yet. How long does it normally take?
Log in and click in the top right corner (smiley face), then “order status.”
You visa card will show up there – confirm it says “verified” next to it. If not, verify it by email or security question.
Once verified, for me it has taken between four and six days to be delivered although I believe there is a note that some redemptions may take up to 2 weeks.
Thanks all are verified, just wasn’t aware of the 4-6 day delay. Most sites say up to 10 business days but it’s usually within the first business day.
Depending on how large your bonus is for meeting daily goal, it still may be worth buying 2k @ $20.99. Mine is 5,300/436 for today so 3x purchases I still come out ahead w/ small profit + CC rewards.
For the first time since this post buying to meet daily goal isn’t breaking even.
I decided to do it anyway for the spend needing to buy 4 for daily goal and they cut me off at 3 🙁
I started in the morning and was able to get 4 (which was all I needed).
Same. Was able to do 4x for 6890/496 SB bonus.
I’ve been able to buy 4 nearly every day but it occasionally cuts me off at three. My goal today was 7300 for 580 and thankfully it let me buy 4 and mostly make up for yesterday.
I did error out on my 2nd attempt yesterday (not sure if it was too close to 1st or poor cell signal) and I wonder if that cost me an attempt. It let me buy a while later but only up to 3 total.
Dead $21.99 for 2000SB now.
As a heads up, on one of many tries got through he confirmation page but my swaybacks total did not go up 2,000. I also got charged (still pending). Will see if it posts, otherwise something glitched. The next try worked fine. If the payment posts I’ll reach out to SB and see how that goes considering I’ve done about 16 total.
Has anyone used the QR code to shop in-store? I made a purchase at Best buy this weekend and I assumed it would show as pending within a day or so but it has not.
Nm, came up as pending for 30 days this morning.
dead…
same. got 2000 for $21 right now
The ride is over it seems, back up to regular pricing. Only got a day’s worth in sadly. But better than nothing.
DEAD
I show price is now at $20.99 for 2,000 SB
Yep shows $20.99 for me too
This is arguably still worth it on a smaller scale. A single purchase for $21 gets my daily goal netting >$21 in SB plus a few cc miles/points.
Yesterday, I could only get 3 in. Today I got 4 in.
Mine is always 4 transactions every day.
