Anyone had any luck with the game achievements tracking? I managed to get one game install to track and tried playing to the first achievement and it won’t track. A couple of other games I downloaded don’t even track the install.

Purple or red zone? So far I have 2 games downloaded and tracking on purple zone on android phone. All achievements tracked except one purchase which shows tracked on adgem side but didn’t carry over to shopback. Been fighting them for abt a week trying to get it paid out. Customer service on both ends is horribly slow

best buy exclusions state: “Point of Sale Activation (POSA) Cards” — Gift Cards probably fall under this bucket?

Yes, they do.

Does purchasing a DoorDash gift card from Best Buy count for the 15% back? I don’t see any exclusions for gift cards.

Excludes “Point of Sale Activation (POSA) Cards”. I believe gift cards fall under that.

I purchased a GC yesterday on Amazon and the $1 CB already tracked within hours to ShopBack. That’s a lot quicker than it usually tracks with “real” purchases!

Which browser are you using to run the extension? I have tried on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge…. all with different tracking results. Chrome usually results in me having to contact customer support, and Firefox or Edge sometimes tracks with no issues. I’m having difficulty determining which browser is the best for reliability.

I have only used Chrome and most, if not all, of my purchases have tracked.

Yes, 15% eBay, and when I pay with gift cards they tell me I spent $0. No thank you, Cap1 and TCB don’t pull this shit.

The terms exclude cashback on gift card redemptions…

I know but it’s their excuse and that’s why I’m not gonna even try. I’m paying with GCs on eBay forever and always got the cb from TCB and Cap1 as well. Sometimes had to complain but never got this stupid response that I spent $0.

I can confirm not getting any cash back when paying (fully) with a gift card. Based on previous comments below by Ken, Arley, and Eric, I gave it a shot, but it wasn’t successful.

So everything else is now confirmed and withdrawable, all the bonuses, but my friend bonus still only says “tracked” even though I’ve earned more than $5 from cashback. Anyone else have this problem?

It took some time for my friend bonus to switch to confirmed. I can’t give you an exact timeline because I wasn’t paying close attention, but it definitely wasn’t instant. Maybe a few days later?

Similar to other commenters, my friend bonus took longer to switch to confirmed compared to other bonuses and purchase tracking. For me, I waited until it was able to be withdrawn along with the other money and I cannot remember if it gave an exact date. The friend bonus was able to be confirmed after waiting a few weeks and I had no problem withdrawing it along with the other earned and tracked money and bonuses. It was worth waiting because I wanted to use it as a data point since the other transactions confirmed so I hope this one would be as well. The total I withdrew including all bonuses, quests, and transactions was $45. The transactions I had to write to customer support were the Amazon ones because they did not immediately track even though I paid with credit card and met all requirements. I am happy to say that they all were changed to tracking correctly being confirmed/writing to customer support.

Quick and decent money maker but I would suggest proceeding carefully:

Play Tab -> Purple Zone -> Merge Restaurant

I played until level 5 (about 5-10 minutes) before purchasing anything to make certain that things were tracking properly The level tier tracked after about 10 minutes. I went on to do all of the gem purchases (I spaced each out a bit and only did the next one when the current one tracked). If I recall correctly they all tracked within 10-15 minutes of each except for the last one (spend 19.99 get 44.80) which took well over 24 hours. I’m thinking that one was held for a manual review being the fourth in a row and the biggest. Total spend was about 37+tax, received 98.56.

I then tried Cook and Merge which seems like the same game with the same spend offers but definitely reskinned and buggier. I stopped trying this one after the first purchase didn’t track at all (spend 1.99 get 8.96) despite the first task (complete Kate’s cafe) in the game successfully tracking once completed.

I think adgem is the offer wall that is responsible for tracking and paying out on these purple zone deals. I’ve read about them being very spotty in the swagbucks subreddit over the years and this most recent experience also suggests the same to me.

Elliot or anyone, do you have to make the in app purchases in order to get credited.
By order I mean low to high, thanks

I am also having mixed results:
Merge restaurant: level 5 tracked, but 1.99 purchase has not (after 24 hours)
Cook and merge: Kate’s cafe tracked, haven’t purchased anything yet
Solitaire stash: First deposit tracked, winning 5 cash games has not (after 24 hours)

There’s a few more I want to try, but I’m only 50/50 with the purchases tracking :/

The 5 cash games for solitaire stash just tracked. I think one of the games I thought counted (bonus game with smaller buy in) did not count and I needed one more

I’m doing Coin Chef and it says make an in app purchase of $40 to earn $87.50 back. The only package I see is $39.99 will this work or would I need to purchase a higher cost one.

Got a Shopback email showing $4 at UberEats ending today, but when I click it it goes to the normal rate of $4 new UberEats user, 25¢ otherwise
