Why am I not receiving Swagbucks emails?

Receiving emails from Swagbucks is an important factor to make sure you get properly notified when your gift cards are ready, your points get awarded, to be able to confirm settings ( ex: password) change requests, and to get timely updates from our promotional team. 

There can be a few reasons why emails are not showing up from us in your email inbox:

1) You have accidentally "blocked" our emails.

  • To fix this, add info@swagbucks.com to safe list
  • See the step-by-step below for more info on how to do it

2) Your Inbox is full and cannot receive new messages

  • To fix this, delete your old emails and then empty out your trash folder
  • After you clear up room, make sure to add us to safe-list (see above)

3) You have chosen in your settings to not receive certain types of emails

  • To fix this, visit your setting preferences and turn on the types of emails you'd like to receive.

4) You pressed "Unsubscribe" on a prior email and no longer allowed to receive our emails

  • To fix this, please contact our support team and we can add this back for you.
