Our Verdict
You can buy the one-year subscription for $47.88 and it’ll be a ~$12 moneymaker (might be sales tax reducing that). Especially interesting if you care for the service. Swagbucks went pending immediately, according to reader SDubbs. You can also pay with Paypal to stack with the Amex Platinum $30 deal.
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. MyPoints has a smaller bonus for signing up with a referral.

What happens if we cancel our subscription after the Swagbucks points have posted? Will we still be able to finish out our 1 year if we cancel?
@chucksithe There's a moneymaker/freebie, when you upload your receipt to swagbucks get 100 SB for ANY eggs or bread, and 200sb for milk. Could be targetted since I never uploaded a receipt before but not sure. Didn't know where else to mention it so put it here.
Thank you
After I placed the order, I got an email from the company that says
You are one step away from obtaining digital privacy. Would you like to complete your CyberGhost order?
Strange that I got that. Guess their "system" has flaws.
Am I missing something? Couldn't you just get 2 months and cancel for a bigger moneymaker if you don't need the service?
You have to purchase a 1, 2, or 3 year subscription for this offer.
Where does it say that? I just read that you have to have a subscription. 1-month is still a subscription.
Around the time that DOC posted this, under "about offer" the Swagbucks website said, "Purchase a 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year subscription to earn 6,000 SB!* If you see different wording now, maybe it changed.
If I remember correctly, they have a 45-day guarantee, so at 60 you'd be sol.
I wasn't referring to canceling after two months. I was talking about buying two months at $12.99 and then cancelling.
I did this yesterday, no SB points pending yet.. strange
Did the points eventually pend? I just did the offer and nothing tracked, but other people are reporting an instant track
Points went pending immediately, was having issue w my current VPN provider for nba streaming. Good time to try another one, thanks Doc!
CyberGhost is based in Romania and apparently charged through London?, so I got dinged with an International Transaction fee on my BoA card, FYI
Well, need to verify phone number and "Member has exceeded number of validation attempts". I didn't receive the validation code though...
I don't think they every asked me for phone number. Unless their app "read" it from Android.
immediate pending. no tax from NJ
Immediate pending after refresh swag page.
Has China server, seems to be a good tool despite the moneymaker feature.
