Update 12/15/21: Deal is over
Update 12/6/21: Reposting in case anybody missed that this was alive again.
Update 12/1/31: This deal is live again at this link. I assume it’ll be the same YMMV limit of 2 or 3 per day.
Update 11/8/21: Reports indicate that this is being considered a small business for various Shop Small deals from Amex, e.g. the $10 off deal.
Update 11/8/21: Some people are reporting now being able to buy 3 per day. Some things to be kept in mind here.
Update 11/3/21: Friendly reminder this is still going.
Update 10/10/21: Seems to be a limit of one or two, but it does refresh daily. Reader rip_kb24 reports that it refreshes after a few hours, even during the same day.
The Offer
- Swagbucks is selling 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; in the past, you’ve had to wait a short period in between each purchase (2-3 mins). Update: seems to be limited to just 1 or 2 this time.
- residents of AZ, CT, MD, and ND are not allowed to make SB purchases due to applicable state law
Our Verdict
It can be useful for meeting Swagbucks Daily Goals which earns you some bonus SB, and also for generating a small amount of credit card spend. (Note: Citi Access More earns 3x.) This deal isn’t as good as a previous deal which offered a 10% discount, but we’ve written about the face value deals in the past and some people have found it worthwhile.
Each month you can purchase one $25 gift card for 2,200 swagbucks and Swagbucks also runs other gift card sales, so it is possible to get a bit more than 1¢ in value from the SB. Otherwise, you typically get 1 cent per point via Paypal.
