Update 12/27/18: Deal is working again for a third time. As with the previous round, you can now buy 2,000 points for $18. (HT San and Jeremy) It’s pegged as a flash sale so it won’t last long.
The Offer
- Swagbucks is selling Swagbucks with a 10% discount. This means that you can buy 1,000 Swagbucks for $9. Swagbucks are worth a minimum of 1¢ each towards things like Paypal cash, Amazon gift cards, or Virtual Visa gift cards.
The Fine Print
- Daily limit of 10,000 points (this isn’t enforced, but it is listed on the original pop up page. It isn’t listed on the landing page linked above, no direct link for the pop up page)
- Available to those with Swagbucks accounts open at 11:59pm on 12/17/18
Our Verdict
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. You can also buy Visa gift cards at a 2% discount, currently. Otherwise, you typically get 1 cent per point via Paypal. For more Swagbucks deals click here.
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. Just keep in mind new users can’t do this deal as you needed to have an account by 12/17/18. You can get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
Looks like they totally removed the function to buy SB. Doesn’t look like this has a good chance of ever returning.

I’m still hopeful
What does a Swagbucks purchase code as?
So I purchased 16000 SBs on various dates. I tried to redeem it for paypal and it was a new account so they said they need to send me a postcard with a code to verify me. Great! I did that and waited a week to get a code which I did at the end of Dec. Everything looked great. Tried to redeem for paypal and it sent me email that my order was verified.
A day or so later I got email from them that I need to email compliance with subject “Email for Approval”. I did that more than a week ago and havent heard absolutely anything.
What a pain
Anyone got the credit to paypal or gift cards for the SB’s redeemed yesterday ?
Mine went thru paypal this morning.
In for 10k sb today. How is SB not losing money here? Just seems very odd…
I wonder if they are trying to hit some end of the quarter/year goal… Padding their numbers?
Am still dying to know why they continue to sell money for 10% off. I missed out on this time, but I have been able to buy 180,000 sb throughout all these sales. And for those wondering, the money has all been transferred to my PayPal account, but my swagbucks account is still active.
was gonna hit it hard this time, instead a hard miss..
How hard were you going to hit it? I bought 100,000 SB this round.
Damn, missed it this time
For some reason I keep going in a loop when I try to cash out via PayPal. I’ve been cashing out as Visa gc, which works out with the 2% discount and I can use it for online bills but still not quite sure what’s wrong with my Paypal for cashing out.
Being able to cash out $250 immediately would make me more comfortable hitting the deal harder… otherwise, I only did 40,000 to cash out $100×2 vgc today and $200×2 tomorrow.
The limit is 2 orders per day.
I believe that loop is from the 2 redemptions per day cap. I’m able to redeem $250 x2 then I’ll hit the loop.
Can any one share the T mobile Shell promo code if not planning to use? I forgot to redeem mine. Thanks!
I bought some SB again but the offer is no longer available.
