[Reposting 5/3/18 since people are seeing this offer again, this time it’s lower at 2,500 points, down from 3,500 last time. No shipping fee this time – ends up around an $18 moneymaker. You probably won’t see it if you did it previously.]
The Offer
Direct Link (this link might show the offer; login first for better odds of seeing it; you can also try poking around your Swagbucks account to see if it pops up; also try using a VPN)
- Subscribe to Gillette via Swagbucks and earn
3,5002,500 Swabucks for your first shipment - Earn an additional 1,000 Swagbucks if you stay subscribed for three months
The first purchase is less than $10 shipped leaving a moneymaker of more than $25, even without giving any value to the product itself. Offer seems to be targeted for specific users.
Here’s how to go about doing this deal:
- Find the Gillette offer on Swagbucks and clickthrough
- Select ‘Get Started’
- Select the $7 option (or pay more if you’d like), keep in mind you’ll also pay $2 shipping for a total of $9
- Select the ‘Set it & Forget it’ subscription option and choose frequency (I chose once every 6 months)
- Create a login and enter your personal details (might be worth using the same email as is on your SB account just in case that’s necessary)
- Edit the order from 2 razors to 1 to bring down the cost
- You should now see a cost of $9 + tax (for some reason, mine is showing up as $10.63 in my credit card login, maybe it’ll drop down $1 on it’s own)
- Click Purchase
- You should see the Swagbucks pending instantly and also get an instant confirmation from Swagbucks
The Fine Print
- ‘One Day Only’ (this deal might end in a few hours or maybe it’s valid through tomorrow, Tuesday)
Our Verdict
I believe I’ve done a previous Gillette deal and was still able to do this one since this is a subscription deal which is different. If you’ve done a subscription deal previously it might not work; Swagbucks is pretty good about removing or erroring out offers which aren’t valid for you, so if the offer is showing and clickthrough is working it’ll probably work.
- Remember to cancel if you no longer want the Gillette subscription. Put it on your calendar, whatever. You can easily cancel the subscription online after the first order ships.
- Bear in mind that some people end up having problems either with the portal tracking or with Swagbucks deactivating their account for reasons which aren’t clear, so keep the risks in mind.

I don’t see this on Swagbucks at all (perhaps because I completed it there already), but I see it on MyPoints for 5,000 points ($31.48). No idea when itexpires (did not receive an email, just found it under “Discover a Deal”).
Up to 3000 SB
My account got deactivated after doing this offer, the gamefly offer, and the dollar shave club offer 🙁 I did them all within 2 weeks. It was so weird the gamefly offer didn’t track and I submitted a support ticket saying that they will manually credit the points and after I logged in to check the points in my account it said that my account was deactivated.
Ouch 🙁 Was it a new account?
It was fairly new about 2 months old. It was really strange how they did it. They made it seem like I was getting points credited and then just deactivated the account. I think it may have been that I did too many similar offers. Who knows!
Can Swagbucks legally shut down accounts and not give past due Swagbucks credit?
It seems like they can do whatever they want lol!
Hey, in case you weren’t able to get this resolved, I’d try contacting them through Facebook. That was the only way I was able to get a response regarding my point-crediting issues.
I did this today morning for the first time and swagbucks showed up right away. However, I just got an email from Gillette saying my shipment was cancelled. Email doesnt have any detail in it – not even order number or what I ordered.
Online it still shows order processing.
Not sure what happened here.
I just got the same email, however, online it still says processing
Humm, I did this earlier today. Nothing showed up in Swagbucks, but I got the notice from Gillette that my order has shipped.
And now I got an email saying my order has shipped…so not sure what they are upto 🙂
Bummer. I did the offer and nothing is showing up anywhere.
thanks for the quick and easy moneymaker!
Appears to work for me. This was me first SB purchase and it looks like it went smooth, SB pending for 30 days no biggie. Thanks guys!
2500 SB here
Weird bug. I clicked the offer once, accidentally closed the Gilette website.
Now every time I click the offer or copy the link and open, it redirects to google.
Is the site trying to prevent a double usage even though I haven’t used? Shame.
Try icongnito or VPN. I remember people having these kinds of issues in the past.
Worked for me also! The credit for 3500 is in my pending area and I too was charged 10.63 and not the 9.63 it showed when I checked out. Still not going to complain and I did need razors, I use electric mostly and I was on my last blade from a swagbucks dollar shave club deal lol. Good timing.
