I had a bit of trouble getting my Swagbucks for this. During the whole 32 day pending period, the activity line item showed 0 SB and the pending status column was blank. I put in a ticket around day 30 (with ample screenshots), and after 2 more days they manually credited me. FWIW.

Swagbucks offers additional 500 pts for me. I am just not happy I cannot use kindle with their e-books.

That’s like saying you’re unhappy you can’t use a Walmart gift card at Amazon. Totally different and competing companies. That’s capitalism, bruh

Related: If you’re interested in free audiobooks, check with your public library and see if they have partnerships with Libby and Hoopla. Both apps let you “check out” audiobooks and listen to them for free.

I am only seeing the $5 credit. Not sure why the front page of the website says $10.

I’m seeing the $10 offer. Maybe try it in an incognito or private window….

only seeing $5 credit, despite the new account creation page saying $10. The subsequent referral offer I’m given is $5 off for a friend, $10 for you

Same here. I see only $5 credit even when the welcome page said $10.
