@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Shop & Earn:
Before you buy ANYTHING online, check and see if you can get Swagbucks for your purchase. Click on the "SHOP" tab on the homepage, and you'll see Shop & Earn.
There are a few shops featured but you can expend the list by clicking 'View All shops', or just do a search for what you are looking for.
You pretty much get at least 2SB for every $1 spent, but it varies by store.
From what I've read it takes 32 days to receive your swagbucks so take a screen shot of your receipt and set a reminder to check you got your credits.

Inbox offer

AuroVie Skincare 500 SB
You need a real credit card. It won't accept prepaid credit card.

Use code "AURA" when checkout. $2.95 for shipping.

Make sure you can cancel your membership.

14 days trial.


I was about to do but I don't have my credit card with me.
I was curious about this so I clicked through. You have to call to cancel and if you don't, they charge you. . . 99.95! So definitely only do this one if you are on top of your cancellations.

what has is that the amount of Swag Bucks you can earn via an activity is no longer visible.

In order to continue growing the Encrave product this was a necessary evolution.
Yeah, ok.

Encrave is first and foremost about content discovery. We want to curate great content for you and add a little bonus on top. As Encrave evolves, the content will become more personalized to your liking and more content will be available for your consumption.
And worth less and less

I understand it's frustrating to not know how many Swag Bucks will be awarded, and if this is a deal breaker, I understand. Not every opportunity on Swagbucks is for everyone. But that is why we have so many of them.
To put politely...buzz off

I can see their point. They don't want you to see the same stuff over and over just to earn the max SB. Problem is, that's why we're doing it. I would think it wouldn't matter in the end if they are getting paid by the advertisers for the ads. What does it matter what the content is?

I could be wrong, but from what I saw at http://prodege.com, the content is what Encrave is focused on:

When you absolutely must drive audience development for your video and editorial content, Encrave is here for you. Our people powered platform puts your content in front of millions of good people everyday. And it's completely ComScore Friendly, Ad Verification Safe.

Fwiw, I am not a tinfoil hat wearing person, but all these changes at SB are really hinky to me. I don't know if they're getting ready to close, or if they're getting ready to sell.

Also, It looks like they may have to change the free games, based on what someone posted on the SB FB page: https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.n...1724_n.jpg

Quote from nspur24 :

Did anyone who had their TS shut down ever get it restored? It's been close to two months and still nothing for me. Not surprising, since it seems like SB could be in financial trouble. Recent signs haven't been encouraging.

Thanks in advance.
Had mine shut down in December, and I found an e-mail for TS customer service, which is the third party company that provides those surveys. They said I'd been shut off because there had been complaints about 17 surveys I had completed out of maybe 1500 I'd done at this point, and they'd turn them back on, but I was now on probation and if there were many more complaints, I'd be cut off for good.

Still not sure where the SB might be in financial trouble vibe is coming from, especially when you compare them to MyPoints, which has had three major point devaluations in the past 18 months, and generally offers less for site activity.

Check your Gold surveys for any short ones. Just did a 2 minute one for 41 SB, it was literally under 2 minutes, about home bars, you have one and enjoy parties!
