WARNING: New Rule with Swagbucks!

This is really really bad news. Apparently Swagbucks is only letting you redeem 5 (!!!) prizes PER MONTH now (when I think before, it might have been 2 prizes per day – at least that was my cap whenever I tried to redeem my SBs for more than 2 Amazon gift cards).

Thankfully I’ve been redeeming my Swagbucks for Amazon.ca gift cards every time I hit that 45 SB mark because I knew that if something like this were to happen (or if Swagbucks went under), I’d still have those gift card codes to use.

But I think it’s really crappy and a sneaky thing to do, especially with Christmas right around the corner. I know a lot of people were saving their Swagbucks up to buy presents.

This news definitely makes Swagbucks less appealing, because if I can only redeem 5 Amazon gift cards per month, but I earn significantly more Swagbucks than that per month, I’m never going to be able to cash out. Unless I start to redeem my SBs for different things that they offer – but since Amazon cards are the most value for your SBs, it doesn’t make sense to.

What do you think about this news?
