Our Verdict
Looks like an easy $20 moneymaker (bit less after tax), especially worthwhile if you value the 6 month subscription. Note, terms make it sound like you need to call in (1-866-635-2349) to cancel, so this might not be doable online (should be online option for California residents, as per their state law).
Remember to cancel before it renews if you don’t want it to renew at the regular price. Also bear in mind that some people end up having problems either with the portal tracking or with getting their account deactivated, so keep the risks in mind.
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.
When I told the chat-bot I wanted to cancel, it told me that could not be done online. But when I chatted, I just asked them if I could edit/remove my payment method online, and they volunteered to turn off auto-renew. So if you’re not worried about the partial refund, I think you can do that through chat (YMMV).
Signed up for this April 1st for $30. Like many others, no tracking email was sent.
5000 Swagbucks posted on May 3rd.
Called to cancel the service today and got $23 refunded due to unused subscription time.
All in all, ended up being a $43 moneymaker for me.
Nice
Paid $32 for the streaming version and took 32 days for the bonus to post on swagbucks. Didn’t seem like it was tracking at first but ended up working out fine.
Didn’t track for me.
It didn’t seem to track for me but lo and behold it did give me the 5000 SB 32 days after the purchase. I usually buy the discounted 5 month package for the summer road trips anyway so I wasn’t going to be too heartbroken if it didn’t track.
Looks like a “deal” to stay away from 🙂
Remember, Time = Money
n00b question: Do you need to have a Sirius-ready radio to make proper use of the service, or will it work just as well through your phone? Thanks.
I would recommend folks to stay away from this deal. Swagbucks is not tracking
Swagbucks did not track last night for me.
Has any gotten this to track?
Mine didn’t track yesterday but today I got an email saying that it did track. I’m still waiting on my Grove.com to track.
Tried to sign up today. Do not see an option to do this deal WITHOUT having a compatible SiriusXM radio, either in your car or standalone.
Earlier comments suggest though that you can do the deal selecting ‘Streaming’ as a subscription instead.
Can someone please point out to me how to do this deal without any satellite radio?.
Thanks…
I did this last time the offer came around and it was a scam for me. It did not track and SB support denied my ticket so it cost me $30.
