The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • Swagbucks is offering 5,000 Swagbucks (worth $50) when you sign up for KiwiCo box. Cheapest option seems to be $15.03 (kids creativity packet), so a $35 money maker. Promo code LEARN30

Our Verdict

You’ll need to remember to cancel as this enrolls you in auto renewal at $30 per month. Same offer also available on MyPoints for 5,000 points (worth $31) but the boxes are only $15 so a $16 money maker. If you don’t have any kids, consider donating this so somebody else can make use of the box. If you’re new to Swagbucks, please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.

  • I have a similar offer via MEL Science. It is currently $31.50 back via TopCashBack and that can be stacked with 20K Drop points for spending $20+. There is promo code Debora60 for 60% off a box or Catalyst for 100% off a box, but then there is $6 shipping and potentially tax. If you don't use a promo code, the box is $39.90 with $6 shipping + tax for at least $45.90 total. If you use a 3% back card, treat the Drop points as worth $1000/1.05, it's -45.9*(1-3/100)+31.5+20/1.05=$6 moneymaker. I'm trying out promo code Catalyst for a $6 charge and hoping that that is a -6*(1-3/100)+31.5=$25 moneymaker. Misread the Drop terms. Would have been better to do Debora60 for a $21.96 charge and a potential -21.96*(1-3/100)+31.5+20/1.05=$29 moneymaker @will @chucksithe

    • Pending through TCB. I'm attempting to contact MEL Science to "not be so cheap and make a charitable contribution to increase the total price to $20" but their phone system is down.

      • My request to raise the price to $20 didn't work but the offer disappeared from Drop soon after so maybe that was a good thing. My TCB amount posted today so that's a $25 moneymaker @will @chucksithe

        • Forgot about this and then they charged me for another cycle at $48.65. I emailed them to cancel and they canceled the next day and ended my subscription. A few days later, I got 20K Drop points. Not sure what "purchase" triggered it, but oh well.

        • @guest_1086611 do you mean code Catalyst worked with TCB? so basically the box was 100% off with $31.50 cashback and just pay shipping and taxes?

          • Cool thanks! @guest_1086611 I ordered one! Can we cancel the subscription after ordering the first box, do you know? I already see the TCB "pending" but it says 14 weeks.. not sure if I can cancel subscription now because it will want to charge again in one month.

          • I was looking for a pause button.. i don't see one.. guess we need to e-mail support?support@melscience.com

  • I'd love to know the outcome of Kyle's orders. There's no way they credited.
    Edit:nvm I see replies below

  • did this offer on 11/8 and the 5000 pts is still pending after 30 days. could not even submit a ticket for this. subscription on kiwico side is still active. wondering if anyone else has issue.

    • @guest_1087036 I'm not sure what makes you confident that one could do this offer again and again? I mean any such offer which is like a trial box and earn SBs is mostly one per SB account. I know the terms doesn't explicitly say "one time" offer. And usually, the offer would disappear once you have done it. So I guess your reason is that it didn't disappear and nor it explicitly said it's one per SB account?

      To me, it's still very difficult to assume that they'd offer bonus SBs for several orders. Has this ever happened with any other offer in SB history?

      Either way, good luck and let us know (y)

      • It's in the same category of shopping such as the pts back for walmart or pts back for amazon. You could buy stuff from Amazon and then buy more stuff from Amazon and you would get credit for both. I'll let you know in January.

        • @guest_1087036 The logic is sound. It was bold of you to jump on it though, esp knowing how SB doesn't hold back in deactivating/banning accounts. Good luck and best wishes..

          • After I saw it go pending more than once I just went for it. Thanks :) I am optimistic about it all!

          • Oh, Very Bad! Don't know what I was thinking lol. I'm stuck with like 470 boxes and SB and MP shut down my accounts. It was a devastating blow. I'm starting to get more active in the forum again though.

          • @guest_1087036 That sucks so bad. I was actually rooting for you but honestly I don't trust SB enough to bet this big. They're infamous for shutting down accounts and all. Did you try returning them or getting in touch with kiwico to see if they can help? Probably unlikely, but still.
            Happy new year!

          • Good luck! If they do cancel the SBs you'll be out several hundred dollars no? Any plans for the hundreds of kits? 🤣

    • I don't see any option to pause. I see only cancel subscription. How you are pausing subscription.

      • Some you can pause immediately. Others you will need to wait until it shows a box has shipped.

  • Did 1 crate, got it in the mail. Have paused my subscription until the swagbucks credit posts (25 days from now) at which point I will cancel. For the record, I did not try to stack this offer unlike some of the braver folks here. I have had every single p2,3,4 etc. MyPoints account suspended in the past for a much less obvious issue (stacking the Vuse offers on their accounts) so I am a little more timid about pushing my luck. If it works out for @guest_1087036 and @guest_1086611, I'll definitely reconsider next time an offer appears to be stackable.

    • Best of luck! I will definitely report back in January with how it all went. The payout for early ones was 32 days but now it's 60 so I won't be posting anymore about what I'm doing till then.

  • Just adding a DP
    2020-11-08 order (amex offer email triggered & 5000 points Swagbucks pending within a few hours)
    2020-11-09 amex offer credit posted

      • No, I only used the swagbucks link... just had the drop offer added on my AMEX and since they are new I figured it might still work since AMEX probably doesn't have a way of differentiating the charges (yet?). Figured it was worth a try since this was a good deal anyway even if the amex offer didn't trigger.
