Our Verdict
Paribus is a price matching tool that was purchased by Capital One, it’s not as useful as it once was due to Amazon ending price matching. Still a useful service. Doesn’t look like you need to use the same e-mail as used on your Swagbucks account, so you could always use a throw away if worried about privacy although to get most of the bonus it needs to detect a receipt.
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.
Signed up with a rarely used Gmail that is linked to one of my extra, non-Prime Amazon accounts. Not the same e-mail as used on my Swagbucks account.
Linked Gmail and the Amazon accounts in Paribus. Made a purchase using that Amazon account. Got 1,000SB pending after the order was delivered (took about a week for the SB to show up as pending). Never got the initial 200SB for signing up.
Quoted from google “This will allow Paribus Receipt Fetcher to: Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail”
What’s something cheap to buy to activate the 1,000 SB? Already got the 200 SB pending after signing up
Will hold off on more Swagbuck offers until my Gobble 5,000 SBs credit from Jan 3. I submitted a ticket to SB on Feb 7 and SB has stopped responding to emails that I sent last week. First time SB is not responding to my emails.
Also waiting for 2,000 SB from FanDuel offer on Jan 7th. Ticket has been submitted.
Maybe SB is tired of giving bonuses on the account??? Anyone else having issues with SBs posting?
My points of Gobble didn’t come, either. I submitted my ticket on February 5, 32 days after completing the offer, and I received their first personal reply on February 14, mentioning it would take 10 business days for them to investigate the missing points. The result of the investigation, however, did not arrive as scheduled. I wrote them an email to follow up this issue and await their response.
yeah, waiting on HomeFresh and probably denied.
Hey Josh,
Swell referral comments are closed…and I’d like to ask you if you funded and kept your Swell account open. I’m following up with them and they claim one of my referral did not fund and keep open. One was spouse so just following up in case they’re trying to pull a fast one. Thanks!
Signed up and got the 1200 SBs pending.
Thanks doc!
Signed up, points haven’t shown as pending yet though…
Same. It’s been almost two weeks. Initial 100 points posted immediately so I know signup registered
i haven’t even gotten the 100 haha. i might try again
Same here. No initial Sb pending at all.
It went pending finally, took a few hours. my other 2 sign ups also came in with the normal 200 amount lol, hope that doesn’t flag my account
not worth at risk of privacy…useless one
What’s our privacy worth? Apparently, $12.
“you could always use a throw away if worried about privacy”
Not sure why capital one can’t just do this for me automatically when I use their card…
How would they know what you purchased…?
L3 data?
Not all merchants send L3 data and not sure they would want to help automate price matching
