The Fine Print
-
SB will appear as pending for 32 days.SB will be revoked if order is invalidated or cancelled.
Our Verdict
The cheapest McAfee subscription is $24.99 for the year, making this a $10 moneymaker. Just keep in mind this is an annual subscription, and be sure to cancel the auto-renew. Best deal if you can actually make use of the antivirus protection – no advice from me on whether they offer good protection or not.
Judging from Slickdeals data point, it seems like the SB are hitting within a few minutes for this deal. Just keep the risks in mind since people occasionally have issues with Swagbucks tracking or with Swagbucks deactivating their account.
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
I also tried a couple of times with Swag bucks. Never got anything from them. Sticking with bates and u promise. I can count on getting my bit from them.
It only says 2k SB for me :(.
Looks like the deal’s over. I only see “Earn 2,000 SB” instead of 3,500.
No need to remember to cancel. Go to My account in McAfee, and turn auto-renew off. https://home.mcafee.com/Secure/Protected/AutoRenew.aspx
Doesn’t say on the website SPECIFICALLY but I contacted customer service and they said for NEW members of McAfee only. With Swagbucks I’ll always contact first to be sure. A little deceptive.
Thanks John. I figured this but wasn’t sure.
warning to everyone who consider this this:
SB just removed credit of 2000 posted for Boxed.com purchase from a few days ago, no explanation. I took a risk for the second time, after they screwed me with Home Chef. Beware, these are borderline fraud!
Nice! SB confirmation email came within minutes
Macafee as an antivirus is useless. Many of us in the PC building community consider macafee as the actual virus.
I’ll do this for the moneymaker though.
Anyone know how easy this is to cancel the autorenewal?
there’s a button where you can disable autorenewal.
didn’t use my sb associated email when i signed up, did i screw myself?
i got the email saying my points are pending and i see them listed as pending, hope i’m okay.
Did you have a McAfee account before?
i did but i forgot my password but was too lazy to reset my password. keeping my fingers crossed.
