(Update 1/29/19) Offer is up to 7,000 points now (previously 6,500). Updated image below. We posted yesterday about a $55 Swagbucks deal which is a better deal, but a lot of people can’t get that one to show so this is a decent alternative. 7,000 points are worth around $45.
The Offer
- Make your first purchase with Gillette via MyPoints and earn 6,500 Swabucks for your first shipment.
The cheapest subscription option is $7 for the Mach 3.
The Fine Print
- $3 Off First Order
- Use of AdBlocking programs may prevent offer from crediting
- Please allow up to 32 days for your Points to be credited to your account
- Offer may only be redeemed one time per user
Our Verdict
6,500 MyPoints are worth roughly $42 making this deal quite a profitable trial since first-time cost is just $7. No need to subscribe, you can simply make a one-time purchase and that should trigger the offer too.
We posted a similar offer for Swagbucks users. A few readers have asked why we don’t post MyPoints deals. The reason is because Swagbucks and MyPoints are owned by the same company, and it’s the same deals on MyPoints as is on Swagbucks. MyPoints has a confusing points currency which are worth around 2/3 their value so I’ve always just posted the Swagbucks offer to keep things simple.
In this case, once you do the offer once on Swagbucks, you can’t do it again. But you SHOULD still be able to do it on MyPoints. When you click through Swagbucks a second time it errors out, but MyPoints lets you through. I gave this a test run a few weeks ago with inconclusive results (order was cancelled for unrelated reasons and didn’t result in credit). My guess is that it’ll be possible to do this MyPoints deal even if you already did the Swagbucks deal. Readers have noted being able to do other deals on both platforms.
- Bear in mind that some people end up having problems either with the portal tracking, so keep the risks in mind.
If you’re new to MyPoints, you can get 750 United when signing up. If you aren’t interested in United miles, you can signup using my referral link, and I think you’ll get 1,750 points bonus (worth around $12) if you spend $20 or more. This Gillette deal won’t get you to $20, but some little purchase through their portal can get you there.
