Upon more study of swagbucks, looks like you can only redeem sb for retail gift cards which cannot be converted to cash. But, if you're interested in buying agc through that portal you can get a fuel card or other retail gc if you'd be spending there anyways and think of that as your cb. Looks like the best offer they'll have on certain days this coming month is 2% (redeemable for only retail gcs). One good thing is you can redeem quicker than most portals, but since I haven't used them before I don't know how long the average wait time is until the gc ships to you once sb are redeemed.
Still unhappy with the current portal offers and basically ignoring, but do some orders here and there. Seems agc orders have really slowed down or completely stopped for the majority of us.
