Swagbucks PayPal Redemption Query

Since Swagbucks' launch in India in the last month of October till today, I've managed to collect 808 SBs. Today I decided to redeem 700 SBs for $5 PayPal cash. Then I came across this, "The money will be sent directly to the PayPal account that is associated with the same email as your Swagbucks.com account... Under no circumstances will a payment ever be sent to a PayPal account with another email address..." So there lies my problem. I registered with Swagbucks with a different e-mail while my PayPal e-mail is different. So how can I redeem my SBs? Need suggestions badly!

Just add the email address that you used for Swagbucks to your paypal. You are allowed more than 1 email on your paypal. I have 2 on there currently

I see someone has given you the steps to be able to do it now but I'm glad to have let you know it could be done. Now you will be able to cash out. Depending on how many points you got now you could probably wait for a higher amount. There is a special going on at the moment until 31st of Dec. I just cashed out $50 for 5000 points

Never heard of a special. The Swag store shows 6,330 SBs = $50. Maybe it is not applicable to Indian users since it just launched 3 weeks ago. Maybe they'll update next month. Not sure and confused. What do you suggest?

Don't worry, you can add more than 3 email id's in your paypal account as a free member, so just add your swagbucks email id with your paypal account and verify it with paypal, you will get your payment without any problem. Luckily i used my secondary paypal email with swag bucks, hope i don't get any problems while redeeming my money. Congrats for reaching 700 points in this short period. I made around 260 points only

I get 4 SBs daily from these. Just search for Swagbucks NOSO. The first search result should be it. You are awarded 2 SBs just for viewing the special offers. NOSO is the abbreviation of No Obligation Special Offers. You'll also find it under the Earn button in your toolbar.

I don't know what difference can it make, after all, paypal account doesn't require the same email account from the account holder registered in the payer website in order to process the transaction of receiving $5 from Swagbuck, it just make no sense for swagbuck to sent you this email for redemption. I found it is getting much difficult to redeem from Swagbuck over time, the website is giving too much grief and too many conditions attached to the cashout order by member. My last Swagbuck cashout order had not been processed at all after more than six months had lapsed, but the admin. continue to claim my Paypal had ben credited. Numerous emails to the Swagbuck admin. receive no reply at all, and now i can't even access their website and receive error message that their server is unavailable anymore from my ip. May be it had gone into scam mode with my five bucks cashout request.

It hardly took any time. Swagbucks launched itself in the last week of October. So whatever I earned is since that day. You should give it a try, if you're not already a member. Its easy and efficient. Good day!

Just install the toolbar and make it a point to use it whenever you need to search something. I even search for the websites which I want to visit and then use the results from the search to visit the website. That way I'm able to perform several searches a day. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Do you know that you can add several email addresses on your Paypal?
Then, please do so, now or later.
Yep, it can also be done later, when you have already received your payment. There would be a notification on your email that you have received a payment, but your email address haven't been linked in any Paypal account. So you'll need to either register one (which is not your case), or simply log in with your Paypal email address, so the new email address will be automatically linked.

So I sign into PayPal and add a second e-mail? The one that I use for Swagbucks. It is that simple! I feel like a fool now.

This discussion has turned useful to me. One is possibility of adding 2nd e-mail id to Paypal. Second an idea about converting Swagbucks to cash. An impressive advantage of Mylot!

Are you using a different e-mail for PayPal too? Also I thought you knew about the PayPal cash available at Swag store. Anyhow, now you know. Good luck!

hi , i don't know that we can add a second email to the pay-pal account. Thanks for the information, though i don't have any problem with swag bucks as i used the same email which is used for pay pal.
