*HOT!* $5 Alice.com gift card for 12 Swagbucks

by crystal on November 13, 2009

If you have 12 Swagbucks in your Swagbucks account and you haven't signed up for Alice.com yet, you will want to jump on this deal!

Swagbucks currently has a $5 gift card to Alice.com available right now for only 12 Swagbucks! It's only good for new Alice.com members and you can only request one $5 gift card, but that's a much, much better deal than the 45 Swagbucks you pay for a $5 Amazon gift card.

And as those of you who have ordered from Alice.com before know, you can
buy at least $10-$15 worth of household products for $5 when you order from their reduced deals page here (you must be logged in to your account to access that page) plus their shipping is always free!

If you're unfamiliar with Swagbucks, you can read more about it here. Read more Alice.com here.

Thanks, Money Saving Madness!

I’ve been meaning to try Alice and here’s a great opportunity. Just did it!! Thanks so much for the heads up!

SuZ November 13, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Thank you! I just snagged one! I’ve been meaning to try alice.com out, this just gives me the extra push to do it! :)

D November 13, 2009 at 2:09 pm

Does that mean your first order / or if you sign up today?? I signed up probably about 2 months ago and never placed an order and was wondering if I could get a gift card and use it??

*************
Money Saving Mom here: I’m not completely sure. However, I went ahead and requested a gift card and plan to give it away. For only 12 Swagbucks, it’s an excellent opportunity to be able to share with someone else!

Mary Martin November 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm

Just an FYI … I was just able to snag TWO $5 Alice.com cards AND I am NOT a new member. I’ve placed only one order with Alice.com and have to say I was very pleased with the service.

anoo November 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm

This is awesome…i got it!!! Thanks Crystal..:)

Alisia November 13, 2009 at 2:19 pm

I don’t get how this work with Alice.com can’t you find things cheaper in the stores with coupons?

*********************
Money Saving Mom here: If you only order from the best deals page, the prices there are pretty comparable to what you’d pay with a sale and a coupon at many stores. And you don’t have to clip a coupon or leave your house! However, they only have a few best deals each week which are really good. But if you get those and use a $5 gift card you earned from Swagbucks with just a few days of doing a few searches online, it’s definitely a great deal!

Kristen Deweese November 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Thanks so much-I also got 2!

tami November 13, 2009 at 2:31 pm

yay! I had exactly 12 swagbucks.

anoo November 13, 2009 at 2:33 pm

i too snagged 2 gift cards right now…wow!

Kelly November 13, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Do I need to wait to sign up with Alice.com until I get the $5 code in my swagbucks acct?

Erica November 13, 2009 at 2:44 pm

I’m a little confused….I got the gift card, but it says it won’t be shipped until I verify my order. Does that mean I have to pay for my order first?

********************
Money Saving Mom here: No, you just need to go into your email and click on the link from Swagbucks to verify that you ordered the $5 gift card from them and then they’ll send it over to you in the next few weeks.

Danielle November 13, 2009 at 2:45 pm

I might be going crazy…I keep clicking the Alice.com card/link on swagbucks to redeem and it brings me to a page that is definitely not it. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I’ve never ordered from Alice and have plenty of swagbucks to redeem.

Helen November 13, 2009 at 2:45 pm

When I click on the reward, it takes me to the swagstakes page…is this defunct already?

Jessica November 13, 2009 at 2:46 pm

So, could I get two and get $10 worth of stuff ?

Helen November 13, 2009 at 2:46 pm

Yup, I refreshed the rewards page and it is gone. BUMMER They fail. They ran out right away? Made a mistake? hmmm

Danielle November 13, 2009 at 2:49 pm

Phew…not crazy! Just looks like they’re gone now. Can’t find it on the gift cards page. Oh well…

Brianna November 13, 2009 at 2:55 pm

I don’t see it available at all. Bummer :(

Randi November 13, 2009 at 2:56 pm

I am not finding it anywhere on the gift card page. Can someone help me find it??

Ashlei November 13, 2009 at 2:57 pm

I just went on to take advantage of this deal and I can’t find the Alice.com gift cards? Am I losing my mind??

Karilee November 13, 2009 at 3:08 pm

so sad, I think its gone already.

Nancy November 13, 2009 at 3:16 pm

Can someone verify whether or not this offer is over? I can’t seem to find it in the swag bucks rewards.

jessica leman November 13, 2009 at 3:19 pm

bummer! No luck here either!

Melanie November 13, 2009 at 3:25 pm

LOL, I had the thing disappear on me while I was in the process of ordering it! Hope it will come back.

IIRC, the SB page specifically said that the cards can NOT be stacked – you may be able to order more than one from them, but you’re not going to be able to use them at Alice.com on the same order or on a subsequent order unless they failed to set up their system correctly. You’ll be sitting on a useless (to you) card.

Melissa November 13, 2009 at 3:29 pm

I think it’s gone – I found it earlier but it’s not there now.

lee November 13, 2009 at 3:34 pm

glad I checked here, it appears to be gone….

Carrie November 13, 2009 at 3:41 pm

can’t find it here either!

Tracy November 13, 2009 at 4:33 pm

Apparently this offer can’t be used if you sign up for Alice.com by following the link here. Following the link gave me a $10. gift card that can be used after spending $50. because I was ‘referred’ by you. The 2 offers can’t be combined. Also, swagbucks is out of the gift cards.
Oh, well!

********************
Money Saving Mom here: I’m pretty sure you should be able to combine both offers. You’d just use the $5 gift card in the gift card section when you check out and then if you end up purchasing over $50 sometime in the next year, you’ll get a $10 credit in your account, too.

Nancy M. November 13, 2009 at 6:05 pm

It’s there again! I just got one!

Paige November 13, 2009 at 6:10 pm

It was gone, I went back and its there now!!

Jessica November 13, 2009 at 6:26 pm

just worked for me, too! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherilyn November 13, 2009 at 6:54 pm

It’s there now – I just got mine!

Jessica November 13, 2009 at 7:09 pm

I just got one, but it only let me get one. How are some of you guys getting two cards?

LuAnn November 13, 2009 at 7:16 pm

Thanks, I just snagged it. I have been meaning to try Alice. Now I can’t wait to order from there.

Paula November 13, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Got mine! Great post MSM…Thanks! Under “best deals” ! Alice.com, they just had boxed of Playtex for 2.49 – nice deal for not having to run out & get ‘em!

Lori November 13, 2009 at 8:14 pm

I’m going to check this out! I’ve been wondering how it would work and now I have my chance!

Meagan November 13, 2009 at 8:29 pm

YESS!! Logged in to swagbucks and it was right there on the front page. I thought I was losing my mind looking through the rewards and not finding it anywhere.

Thanks for letting us know! :)

Meagan November 13, 2009 at 8:29 pm

YESS!! Logged in to swagbucks and it was right there on the front page. I thought I was losing my mind looking through the rewards and not finding it anywhere.

Thanks for letting us know! :)

Debbie November 13, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Thanks for the Swagbuck tip. I signed up about a week ago and already have 22 swagbucks. I plan to get amazon.com gift cards to buy things for La Sagrada Familia Day Care. La Sagrada Familia is a day care for children in Guatemala who would normally be left home by themselves while the parents work (usually with no food, until the parents earn daily money to buy food for their supper). Usually these children would only have lemons for lunch (picked from nearby trees).

mollie November 13, 2009 at 8:52 pm

yay! i got one! Perfect way to try alice! thanks!

Mary November 13, 2009 at 9:01 pm

It seems to be available again – around 9 pm Eastern time.
I’m willing to try Alice for 5 bucks off!

Amy November 13, 2009 at 9:31 pm

This might be a dumb question but how do I get the Alice GC? I saw it on front page but when I click on it it only directs me to the prize page and that’s it.

I also searched the gift cards page as well but I couldn’t find it unless it’s already gone.

D November 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm

For some reason I can’t buy it with my swagbucks? It’s shown on the front page on the swagbucks home page but when I click on the banner it brings me to the prizes page and when I go under gift cards it isn’t there?????

Anyone else having this problem?

April - Team Tottle November 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm

I just signed up on Alice.com but I can’t find the giftcards on swagbucks! Can someone please direct me? Thanks a bunch, April

Amy November 13, 2009 at 11:02 pm

It’s back! I guess they turn it off and on again so if you miss it just wait it out like I did as long as they still have it on the front page.

Carrie November 13, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Yay! It’s back!!!

Allison V. November 13, 2009 at 11:37 pm

Thanks Crystal! I signed up for Alice.com the other day, and just put the Swagbucks toolbar on my computer a few days ago, so I had 13 Swagbucks already! I’m gonna get me a cheap package of diapers. Maybe by the time I get the code, there will be a coupon for them too…here’s hoping! And if I’m lucky they’ll arrive before Thanksgiving too! I need them for our trip out of town.

laura November 14, 2009 at 7:20 am

I can’t find the gift card either! Will check back again. Frustrating!

Jennifer November 15, 2009 at 5:52 am

For those of you that tried a few days ago and couldn’t get it, it is back up. I just got mine!

Tricia Young November 15, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Can someone tell me how to apply my gift card to my alice.com order, please? I signed up for alice, redeemed 12 bucks for the gift card and now don’t know what to do.

Thanks!!

Vicky M November 15, 2009 at 3:13 pm

I was just on swagbucks and these seem to be back, I just got one!

Melanie November 15, 2009 at 9:21 pm

Tricia – did you verify your order from Swagbucks? Once you order any prize from Swagbucks, they send you an email with a link in it that must be clicked to verify that you did indeed want the item.

Then, you have to wait for them to send it to you. This will be an electronic gift card, just like the Amazon ones. In 6-10 business days, they’ll apply it to your Swagbucks account. You’ll receive an email telling you that they’ve done so. Then, go to your Swagbucks and click on My Account, look on the left for “My Gift Cards”. The information you need to redeem it will be there.

HTH! :-)

Melanie November 16, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Mine just showed up in my Swagbucks account – that was fast!

@Tricia, you’ll get an email soon telling you that your Alice card is in your Swagbucks account. Log in when you get that email and look under My Account, then My Gift Cards. The redemption code will be there. Then go to Alice and use it.

Kris November 16, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Strange it won’t let me apply the gift card when I apply under your referral link. I have an email in to them about how to apply it. Those of you who already opened an account but hadn’t made a first order were you able to apply the gift card to your account?

******************
Money Saving Mom here: I heard from Alice today and they said you couldn’t use both. So you’d need to open up a new account to use the gift card. They apologized about that and said they hadn’t done a good job of explaining that it was an either/or thing. My apologies on that, too!

Randi November 16, 2009 at 4:27 pm

I was able to get one today too. Thanks for the heads-up!

Chrys November 16, 2009 at 5:41 pm

I got my alice code today, and signed on to Alice, but realized there was no way to apply the gift card. Then I looked at the directions on how to apply GC on swagbucks, and it has to be done during registration. Since I’d never place an order with them, I just opened another account. 2 rolls of paper towels, 2 boxes of tissues, 1 clorox, and 1 ziploc bags for .46!!

Jenny November 16, 2009 at 6:49 pm

Tricia – I was having the same problem too – If you look under the Contact Information on Alice.com there is an option to “chat live” with a customer service rep – she was able to add the gift card to my account and then I just selected “Apply Gift Card” when I checked out. Hope that helps!

Kelly November 16, 2009 at 9:01 pm

Thanks so much for the info. I just used me $5 GC from Swagbucks and it worked perfectly. I LOVE your site!

liz November 16, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Yeah, how do you apply the gift card once you have the code? I have a code, and can’t find where to type it in. Very frustrating!

Lacey November 17, 2009 at 8:04 am

IMPORTANT: You have to wait until the gift card is posted to your Swagbucks account on the “My Gift Cards” page (took 3 days for me) and THEN sign up for Alice.com, as the gift card code has to be entered DURING sign-up, otherwise you will never be able to redeem it. I made the mistake of signing up for Alice.com at the same time as I bought the gift card, so I couldn’t use it in my Alice account. To correct this, I just created a new account in my husband’s name/e-mail and I was able to post the gift card during the sign-up process, and it is now posted to his account.

Melanie November 17, 2009 at 9:49 pm

I can’t apply this card to my Alice order – and when I checked on the information on Swagbucks for redeeming the card, I found out why – you have to have the card code in hand BEFORE registering for Alice! You have to enter the card’s code in step 3 while signing up.

This stinks. I’m trying to find a contact email for SwagBucks to complain – this information should have been on the order page, not just “you must be a first time user of Alice” or however they worded it.

Kris November 20, 2009 at 9:17 pm

Has anyone been able to use this gift card? Mine finally came through and it looks like you’re only able to redeem it when you open an account. There doesn’t seem to be a way to add gift cards to an existing account, and Swagbucks didn’t say anything about that when I ordered the card.

Kris November 21, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to use mine. There is no way to add additional gift cards to your account, not even during checkout. I didn’t know that and signed up before the alice card was in my swagbucks account. You only see how to redeem it after you’ve purchased it. So far it looks like you can only add gift cards when you open your account.

I’m going to email their support email address.
