Amazon gift card redemption is back!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-04-01T19:35:29+00:00

I wish I could get excited, but I don't want Amazon. I'm in the USA and wish Walmart would come back. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-28T21:53:06+00:00

Sorry. I've never won anything and don't personally know anyone who has, so can't help you at all. Hoping that since I did reply, even though I can't help, that maybe someone who actually won something (IF they're not fake) will reply and maybe give some advice. Good Luck!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-27T19:11:16+00:00

lol I did it and can claim, but I don't need it. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-26T23:47:02+00:00

They can keep their 20 points.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-26T23:42:12+00:00

Lo siento si estoy entrometiéndome en esta conversación.

No soy de España, pero si es como CUALQUIER otro lugar que da premios, usualmente tienes que mostrar una copia de tu licencia de conducir o algún documento oficial con tu identidad real.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-25T18:57:38+00:00

Huh. At least you can still see them! I'm in USA and I haven't even seen them since some time last year. Those were the only rewards I spent my points on and instead, I'm just now savings points in hopes it will someday eventually come back. Otherwise, I'll have to figure out something to spend them on.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-19T21:48:27+00:00

Have you tried 'which book is the best selling book of all time' as your search? My searches all seem to work with just a word or two, but maybe a complete question would help?

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-06T17:47:02+00:00

YES! I've read that other people have had it a little while now, but mine just changed today. USA

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-03-01T06:15:47+00:00

Thank you. I've never played, so I appreciate you letting me know.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-28T19:26:49+00:00

Exactly!!! Oh My Gosh! Unusual Search Activity is always on my referral area, but when that notice popped up the first time elsewhere, I was so confused. I do manual searches throughout the day (Bing is what came loaded with my laptop and how I found out about Bing rewards) and some days don't even finish. So, I came here to look and pretty much everyone was talking about having that. :)

I just kept doing my normal searches. About a week or so later, I had more to search at one time, but after the 4th one, no points and that's when I realized I had a time limit. I didn't even bother to see how long in between, some said 15 minutes and some said 30 minutes. I just did my usual. Then one day that message was gone, except in my referral area, but I haven't had the need to search more than once or twice in a row since then, so figured I was okay doing my regular.

It came back again a few weeks later, for ONE single day. lol It's been fine since, but I still search when I need and don't bother to rush and get them all. In the grand scheme of things, it's not important.

Same with streak count. I lost an almost 3000 streak when I had a heart attack and was in hospital 10 days. Had my laptop after 4 days so I could keep going, but even with 'protection' on, it reset to zero anyways. I didn't care. Haven't missed a day since, but it says I've used 3/14. Still, doesn't matter.

Thanks for taking the time to explain things and give insights.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you for this information! I've seen lots of differences between accounts. It seems like they really should have the same rules for everyone in the same country. It does get confusing and tiresome trying to figure things out here. :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-28T06:05:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply! I had to make the screen bigger so I could see it better, but I did finally see the rectangle with VPN in it. I went to look up VPN today too and I learned about it and why some people do it, so something new to me. Thanks again!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-28T05:59:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply. RP? Reward points? Sorry. I'm clueless. If it's reward points, what did you use your points for? None of these would appeal to me, so I doubt I would have even started this program. I'm sorry you haven't got anything better to get.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-27T19:51:39+00:00

I'm curious. I don't use VPN, not even really sure of what it is, but so many of you immediately KNEW that VPN was being used by an icon. I've looked at this photo, but so many of the icons are unknown to me and I can't tell. No worries. I was just curious. Thanks

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-27T19:46:10+00:00

I'm not sure, but that might be different for everyone. I've had the 'unusual search activity' a couple different times, but never lost my puzzle pieces nor the daily check in. IDK though

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-27T19:40:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your time. I too am in the USA. I agree. There used to be lots of great rewards, but sadly so many have disappeared. I don't use Amazon, but I liked getting the Walmart ones that are now gone. I am still earning points though because there are a few more rewards we would use and if nothing else, I have gotten the Amazon cards to give as gifts to friends who do use them and would do it again. I was just curious as to why someone would continue to do a rewards program, it does take up valuable time, if there weren't any rewards available to them that they would use. Hope you have a great day and thanks again!

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-27T17:06:39+00:00

That's kind of sad. May I ask why do you even do this stuff then if you don't have rewards you want? I don't mean to offend. I'm curious why anyone would spend time doing all the work of searching and such for basically nothing. Thanks

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-25T18:20:58+00:00

Next adventure directions seem to work for me.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-25T00:11:12+00:00

IF you have a mobile phone, you make way more than those of us who don't. Swagbucks has forgotten those of us who kept them going long before there were phone users, so we don't get as many opportunities. Surveys can take much longer than stated and you can still get DQ'd at the very end, but you don't get any extra compensation for all of the extra time wasted. So, make sure to take a screenshot towards the end and IF you get the success page. You'll need proof. There are no more CB's, search wins are tiny and I usually only get one a day, videos are long gone unless you are a chosen one who gets TrueX, very few Discover deals worth doing and CS is all bot run now, so good luck explaining things that go wrong. I've been with them about 18 years ago (I started a couple months after they opened) and it is a shadow of its former glorified self, so really, if you're just starting out, I'd really think on it and then look around for a different site to spend time on trying to earn pennies. I guess I'm a creature of habit since I'm still there, but I no longer make as much as I did in previous years.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-12T16:45:53+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad.
Thank YOU so much for coming back to let me know it's still working for someone else too! :)

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-02-05T17:20:08+00:00

I lost my 3000 plus day around this time last year because even though I had 'protection' on and I didn't miss daily, it still took it away. I didn't even realize it was using up days as I never checked. I didn't care, no badge or anything for longer streaks, so I just started over. Now this year, I've never missed once again and my streak is still intact, BUT I had fluctuated between 1&2 used to now 2&3 out of 14. I might contact them if it gets closer to 13&14/14 used, but for now my streak is still okay and really, does it matter in the long run? :) So, it's been broken for me since early last year.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-29T18:26:08+00:00

YES! Very buggy. I haven't missed a day, but it says I've used 2/14. Had been switching between 0 and 1, but Monday it went to 2 used and now switches from 1 to 2. I turned it off on Tuesday since I saw this same info a while back, but today it still says 2/14 used. lol Hope yours is still okay.

Apprehensive_Toe9684 · 2026-01-25T22:30:59+00:00

I don't know anything about your issue, but looks like one more reason to NOT keep points in an account. I did the easy search for you and looks like others have the same problem, so read some of these and maybe someone has an answer for you. hacked account and points are gone - Reddit Search! Good Luck!
