Hi NS,
I saw this too late, but check out the huge protests on the blog regarding the loss of physical cards for starbucks and subway! I think we'll hear something regarding the re-instatement of these, or at the least, a way to reload cards online. This change does not appear to be really popular at the moment.
I've noted that some of the e-cards must be used at the online store and others (Like Macy's) are printable and can be used in the stores. Teh printable e-card has a readable bar code on it, which was simply scanned at the Macy's I went to. Using the printable e-card was no problem at all. I happened to use my entire e-card in the transaction, but in talking to the store staff about it, they said that if I had only used part of it, they would give me the sheet of paper back to use again. Also, my receipt showed how much was remaining to be used on my e-card. It isn't impossible to think that more companies (of all types) will go to e-cards versus physical cards.
Here's some hope for you all: PizzaHut.com specifically states that it takes e-cards, but PizzaHut.ca does not specifically discuss it. However, the e-card information on the Swagbucks site doesn't state that it is only valid in the US. I've e-mailed PizzaHut Canada to ask, but haven't had a reply yet.
I'll let everyone know if I hear.
in the past 5 days i have redeemed for:
-a vintage comic book was like 90 bucks
-2 swagstakes ( theory of a deadman contest and 100 buck giveaway) each 1 buck
-an autographed poster from Jason Damato ( similar sound to jack johnson and ben harper) 35 bucks
redeemed total of : 127 bucks
I have 19 left over.
I am so excited to get these prizes.
I have a question about the toolbar - do those who use one, find that they get more swagbucks than by using the search feature on the page? Just trying to figure out how I can increase my points, since NS keeps stealing everyone's friends :P
Good luck everyone with winning swagbucks today. :)
I use the toolbar and average 5-8 bucks a day.
Really, I didn't notice a difference with the toolbar.
i havent noticed a difference yet
Unless they changed the format, I think it's just for convenience. They do once in a VERY blue moon put a free code on the toolbat though.
A good place to find and post is below for tips, tricks, codes, and to get your referral links out there free. Link just launched from Swag Bucks yesterday.
Starbucks "physical" gift cards are back. They're tracking them in the mail, but now they're for $10.00. Pretty cool! You guys really made Swag Bucks pay attention and they delivered.
:P it helps when there's a swagbucks person on this forum... not naming any names...
woohoo. just redeemed for another amazon.gc.
its been six days since i order a amazon gc and still saying verified. how long does it take?
I'm so glad to see the return of one of the two beloved physical cards! I wonder.......with a little pressure from the gang at SC........if we could get a $10 Subway card going???
htebxbeth: What do you mean? We're ALL swagbucks people on this thread, if not the forum of Smart Canucks. Your comment is intriguing though.......
says up to 2 weeks, are u checking on the site? or your email, cause it goes on site now
I had 9 gift cards and verified on the site, that didn't start arriving in my gift cards section until today. It was confusing for me, because they didn't come in item # order! argh! I think they were backed up because of the switch. My advice would be to write down the item #'s so you know which ones you've already redeemed and which ones you havn't.
:lolsign: i think they just pity me andit
and yes i use the toolbar, but i go to view and hide it and only use the tiny one on the top right corner (in firefox),
seek has been getting more sb than me today.
i got 1, she got 4 at once, and is up to like 13 since yesterday:shock:
Newsnakeowner: Normally 4 to 7 days to be delivered to your inbox, but with the change in the delivery method of e-cards, it's hard to say. If you still have nothing in 2 weeks, e-mail them and they'll respond within 24 hours. Also, don't forget that they aren't e-mailing e-cards anymore and are just posting them to a new page in the "my account" section.
aw that sucks i liked the $5 ones they were cheap and easy to get enough points for
So far I really like the new and improved swagbucks
what about everyone else?
went to the forum thanks tommy, worth checking out.since everyone else is putting referral i will too.

I have ref link in my siggy, but no friends yet.
Glad to see the Starbucks GCs back :)
I like the new site, a few bugs here and there like when you type in a Swag Code, sometimes the message box is covered up. I just hope the gift cards will come in order from now on. I would also like to see Amazon.com gift cards come in higher ammounts. If they came in $10.00 it would be easier, and plus if you only get one what can you really get!!! Just a thought.
i'm not sure, what's new besides the gc being on their site, and what's improved?
Looks like there have been many changes?
CRAP! Should've ordered my Starbucks GC yesterday or before...now it costs more and is in $10. 130 points for $10? With Amazon it's 90 for $10 (or 135 for $15!)
gotta start saving up for some amazon.ca gcs
