Update 1/6/21: MyPoints is back up to 7,000 points, worth around $44. Looks like cost would be $5.99 for one month resulting in a ~$38 net. You can cancel after 20 days. (Swagbucks is at just $25 now.) Hat tip to reader RM
Update 8/27/20: MyPoints has this now at 7,000 points (worth around $46) and Swagbucks is back up to 3,600 (worth $36). Monthly fee option is $5.99. There’s conflicting verbiage whether you need to remain a subscriber for just 20 days (one month cost) or for the second month (two month cost). Assuming you keep it for two, it’s roughly a $34 moneymaker with MyPoints or $24 with Swagbucks. Thanks to reader Kris for finding this deal.
Update 6/17/20: Offer has increased to 3,600 SB ($36). Monthly fee option is now $5.99. The terms mention that you must remain a member for 2 months which cuts the net to $24.
Update 3/26/20: Offer has increased to 2,700 Swagbucks ($27). Hat tip to reader HJ
Update 2/20/20: Offer increased from $17 to $22. Quite enticing. Hat tip to reader Alan and Jay

Our Verdict
Looks like you can try it out and cancel after two months, and still keep the $36 $22 $17. Sounds like a moneymaker method of trying out this service.
Update: Two readers report that paying with Paypal messes up the tracking. Use a credit card directly without Paypal.

I found SurfEasy to be an efficient VPN, it barely slows down my computer. There are some popular cheap VPN's out there that can really bog down ur computer's speed!
Just as an FYI for those interested in actually using these services...These aren't the best out there. They are on deal websites for a reason. I signed up for the TunnelBear $20 money maker from black Friday. The service is acceptable. Outside of the US is acceptable but you have no choice of server (just on and off), and there are very few technical tools... beyond on and off. I'm glad it was free.
@chucksithe @will Cyberghost VPN increased to 6000 SB which would be $12+ MM with 1yr subscription.
https://www.swagbucks.com/?q=cyberghost . CyberGhost is better than Surfeasy vpn and also in SB it went to pending immediately.
Went pending immediately for me, too. Can also pay with PayPal to stack with the Amex Plat.
Has anyone tried today? Just wanna see if it still goes pending for 4000 like yesterday, instead of 7000. Thanks!
i did it last week it was 4000 and still 4000. no help from support
earn points button just leads me back to the homepage of mypoints... Is the promotion over?
Same here.
Same thing is happening for me...
Can p2 and I use same cc for this offer?
Completed the deal in MP and just 4000 points went pending. The page says 7000. Not sure why..
@guest_1123445 This seems to have happened before: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/swagbucks-try-surfeasy-vpn-for-1-99-mo-get-17-sb/#comment-1113549
Take screenshots and hope for the best.
Thanks. Yes, took a screenshot and also contacted MyPoints support...Though I assume they will probably get back and say I have to wait 30 days.
Yeah, I did this a few weeks ago and that’s what they said...
Same with me..Shall we raise a ticket ?

May have to stay subscribed for 2 apparantly
Good eye.
@chucksithe Back to 7000 on MyPoints.
MyPoints has this showing at 7000 points, however I just did this and only 4000 points went pending immediately. I guess I'll deal with it later if the number isn't adjusted.
Did you ever get 7000 points?
I got the 7000 points. They posted 4000 last week, and I raised a ticket with a screenshot of the 7000. They posted the additional 3k a day or two later.
