[Friendly reminder to claim your daily goal rewards from last month by clicking here for Swagbucks and clicking here for MyPoints and clicking here for Inbox Dollars. You can claim them early by using the app, otherwise you need to wait until the 5th]
Swagbucks and MyPoints have a ‘Daily Goal’ bonus whereby you’ll get an additional bonus for earning a certain amount throughout the course of the day. The bonus is generally around 8-9% of the earn threshold, but the threshold varies widely by account.
There are two tiers to the Daily Goal: the first one is usually something like ‘earn 110 and get 9 SB bonus’, the second one will be something like ‘earn 4480 and get 367 SB bonus’.
It could be possible to get like $5 bonus per day, or around $300 per month. Of course, most people won’t be able to meet the goal every day. Still, it’s useful to keep in mind for days which you get close to that amount organically. For example, if you do one of the free money deals, you might come close or surpass your daily goal without giving any thought. Personally, I occasionally buy gift cards on Mygiftcardsplus deals, and I end up getting a few more dollars back via the Daily Goal bonus.
Interestingly, buying Swagbucks also works to count toward your Daily Goal, and there are often fee-free opportunities to buy Swagbucks.
Important: You must manually claim the rewards (Swagbucks here and MyPoints here) from the prior month at some point during the following month. I personally lost out a good bit from failing to do so, and now I’ve set up a monthly reminder to claim this reward.
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.
Thanks, just redeemed 3 SB 🙂
Got the email and tell me to collect 955 SW but after clicking on the link it says “You haven’t earned a bonus for January in the Daily Goal program” hmm.
How do we get this $5 exactly: It could be possible to get like $5 bonus per day, or around $300 per month.
I don’t think it’s possible nowadays anyway, not least because $5 a day would be $150 a month. It involved buying sb on a second account and getting referral bonus to compensate for the cost of buying sb. That benefit is gone.
having problem using MCGC redeemed through MP. Can’t attach it to amazon or Walmart for any purchase. Is anyone else having same problem?
Bonuses are available.
the swagbucks and mypoints links are the same in the second mention. in the first mention, they are accurate
Now that buy swagbucks referral points have been eliminated, trying to think of a good use for it.
Anyone know if they’ll take prepaid GVS or MCGC cards. I would wait until they have a face value sale. Thinking it would be a good way to cashout low balance cards to combine into a larger value card at a 2% discount.
John Anders I believe the most recent DPs were that pretty much all VGCs and MCGCs stopped working for Buy SB. Amex GCs still worked.
Does this daily goal reward point still need to be manually claimed? I could not find a button on the swagbucks website to manually claim them
You need to wait until roughly the 5th day of the month.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I use Swagbucks all the time and had no idea about these bonus goal points. I checked your link and discovered I had around a 1,000 sitting there to claim from August. I don’t even want to know how many I’ve obliviously never claimed by not knowing about them.
Is anyone else seeing that buying Swagbucks doesn’t generate referral rewards anymore? Worked as of 10 am EST yesterday, but not working as of 6 am EST today. I’m still getting referral rewards for other activities.
Good point.
P2 has been using Buy SB everyday around 6:30am eastern (3:30am Pacific/SB time), then my referral points normally show up at 7:00am eastern (4:00am Pacific/SB time). It’s now 8:05am eastern and I still don’t have the referral points. I got the ones from yesterday as normal.
no referral reward anymore, last it worked was 08/09/2023
Did anybody try today, Aug 11?
Buy SB definitely not worth it without the referral points.
Aug. 10-12 did not work for me either. I think it is dead. RIP
RIP an easy $2.5k+ in MS per month
I didn’t realize for a couple of days that it wasn’t crediting the referral rewards, so now I’m out ~$30 in fees. RIP to my favorite and easiest MS method.
Yup, still not working over the past several days. Pretty safe to say that they must have intentionally killed it. RIP…had been doing this daily for years and years.
Wonder if it could possibly be just a coincidence that some foolhardy redditor thought it would be a good idea to make a top-level post about this on r/SwagBucks just two months ago?
Honestly, I’m baffled they let it go on so long. You would think they’d note how people “earned” 4000 or 8000 SB every day and the implications of that for their profitability. But unless they were aware and just thought they’d make it up on Swagstakes or people ordering non-discounted giftcards, probably the reddit post tipped them off.
I looked back over the last 3 months and can’t find a top level post about it. Deleted?
