Back To School Swago

325/365

It’s Swago time again! You can join now to start tomorrow, and it goes through next Monday, August 26, 2019. While it doesn’t come with a Spin & Win yet again, it does have a new activity. Let’s learn all about the newest edition to the Swagbucks family.

New In-Store Promotions

Swagbucks has added a new layer to their Shop component. While the main focus of Shop is to click through to stores, they recently added the ability to earn SB by uploading receipts on the Answer app. Now, you can earn SB by purchasing items you add from a list at specific stores and upload your receipt in order to redeem them. The Swagbucks blog post states that you can redeem hundreds of items at your favorite stores, but I literally have 30 items on my list, and there are none that are on my own personal shopping list.

Playing Swago

Swago is like the game Bingo, with squares to complete. Each square is a different activity on Swagbucks. Once you complete the square, it will color in as soon as you refresh your browser. If you look along the right side of the board, you can see which pattern you would like to complete. Don’t submit until you are ready because you can only submit once!

Swago Board

They’ve made the center square easier since you can get any gift card instead of at least $50. (Although the minimum they sell is still $25.) Be sure to get your gift card early if you are going to complete that square since the transaction may take up to two days to process. Another interesting addition to the Swago board is the Buy SB card, which first showed up in June. I was wondering why I could not complete this activity, and I finally found the answer after a quick Google search:

Purchasing SB is currently limited to residents in the United States. However, residents of AZ, CT, MD, and ND are not allowed to make SB purchases due to applicable state law.

Kinda makes it a little frustrating that they would put that square on the board if people in four states cannot complete it! Not to mention the fact that four states have deemed it unethical enough to outlaw the practice in their state.

No Spin & Win

I am really missing Spin & Win! There were so many great prizes on the wheel like free rejoins for Swagbucks LIVE, bonus surveys, Swag Ups on redemptions, and just plain old bonus SB. They really teased us by bringing it back in June and then taking it away again!
