The Offer
- Swagbucks is offering 2,000 Swagbucks (worth $20) when you sign up for a Menlo Club membership
Our Verdict
One month is $20, so this is basically just some clothes for free. Not as good as the previous $5 money maker deal, but we haven’t seen that for two years. 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.
Hat tip to Davis
Put in a ticket with Mypoints since the offer tracked but didn’t go pending after 32 days. Got no response initially, but followed up after 2 days and they paid out the same day
My order just shipped. I’m hoping my tracked visit goes pending soon.
Placed order, no tracking for 1 hour. Will update if tracks tomorrow.
Noticed this in the website : Pausing before the first scheduled monthly charge is not allowed. If you still need to pause your account, please contact [email protected] for further assistance.
Does anyone know if this is talking about first $20 charge or first $60 charge.
Also does anyone know if this $20 charge is for 15th of next month or this $20 charge will ship now and on 15th of next month (in 20 days) they will charge $60 again and I need to pause/cancel before that.
Update: 1 day passed and no tracking yet. However I can see pause 1 month button and current order is getting ready to ship and next order will ship on Nov 15 and will charge me $60. I guess I’ll pause once they ship current order and keep it paused until I get SB credit.
Update: on day 2, I got email saying the offer is pending and 2000 SB shows pending for 30 days. Saved me a hassle of contacting customer service. No offer before this pended so late. It’s never been more than couple hours if not instantly. Otherwise, I’d have to contact customer service. This is the first one that took 2 days to go to pending.
Has your package shipped yet? I did the same thing as you, timing and everything, but nothing showed yet.
Mine is still hand packing.
I also see nothing pending, but a tracked visit. If nothing pends within a few days, should I reach out to SB?
Nothing pending, but see a tracked visit.
same, now see the yellow icon next to visit.
Same. Last time I did it on Swagbucks I got pending credit right away. Hopefully it changes once it arrives.
i think it’s just broken. I do remember similar issue with Winc, and it just stayed at 0 points… i see ticket in my future… ugh… i, too, did it on SB about 2 years ago with no issue…
I’m in same situation. Have you submitted a ticket? I got my first shipment a few days ago and still no pending credit but have the yellow icon.
I don’t see it under pending SB activity, but I see the pending icon next to the visit history.
Setup an order last night with SB and had a tracked visit this morning.
Did this on MP yesterday afternoon. Nothing pending.
Bummer. “You have already completed this offer!”
How do people do both the Drop offer and MP/SB in one go? Both generate a unique referral link to trigger the points on each platform?
You dont. Make two orders
curious, for the Drop, do you have your payment methods linked in the app? if so, do you use diff payments for Drop than for example, MP, when you take advantage of both? TIA!
Drop is a cashback portal and you can’t use it to pay for things. Certainly add your credit cards to it to get a random trickle of points when you buy things. I’ve been using Paypal Key/Chase for all my purchases this month. To vary the addresses, I’ve just change the recipient and added Room 1 to the secondary address on Menlo’s website.
This offer has the scariest sounding T&C –
“If you complete this offer without having a genuine interest in the product/service being offered, any SB awarded will be revoked and your Swagbucks account may be terminated for violation of our terms requiring honest and legitimate member behavior. ”
i.e. sounds like if you cancel the sub after first month, SB will terminate your SB account. I’ve not seen such strict rules mentioned in any other offer.
They use this language for other deals, too. Did this twice with no issues (2p mode).
Have seen this on a few things, swagbucks upping its scam game.
I’ve signed up for so many offers then cancel after the first month. Never got my account shut down
Did it before and canceled after 1st month with no claw back.
