Swagbucks.com just rolled out a feature to reward you for printing and using coupons. If you look in the toolbar under the “Earn” link, there’s a “Coupons” link which takes you to the page to print coupons.
These are the same coupons hosted on Coupons.com and you’ll earn 10 Swag Bucks for every coupon you print and redeem at your local grocery store! Swag Bucks are only awarded for redeemed coupons and it may take up to six weeks after redemption for Swag Bucks to show in your account.
Thanks, Janelle!

How will they know they are redeemed?
@Helen, That is exactly what I was wondering!
@Helen,
I’m wondering the same thing. Will it really work?
@Helen,
Each coupons.com coupon has a unique barcode to prevent copying them. I assume that they record that barcode when you print and once redeemed at the manufacturer they issue your swagbucks.
@Ryan, I’m not sure this actually works. I’ve been doing this for WEEKS now, and have yet to have the points awarded to my account. I’ve tried contacting SwagBucks via e-mail, and I just got a standard “It takes awhile for them to post” reply.
@Chelsea, Oh goodness. I replied to this message way too early this morning.
I meant MyPoints, not SwagBucks. Sorry!
@Chelsea,
Well it probably takes a long time to get. It might take you a week to use the coupon, a couple weeks for the store to ship the coupons to the manufacturer, a few days in the mail, a couple weeks being processed, and then another week before they get notified.
@Chelsea, I also have done it through mypoints, and I did get my points, so it does work somehow
@Chelsea, It says that it’ll take 8-12 weeks for the points to show up–not sure why it takes that long, but that’s what it says.
WOW!!!! I use coupons.com coupons every time I go to the store!
I just noticed this today and wondered how long I had been missing out. I am glad to see that this is a new feature. I also saw the “daily deals” section where you get 280 swagbucks for buying your groupons through them.
@Tara, I just noticed the coupon link this morning and I do the poll and the other earn features every morning. We haven’t missed out at all since it just started. I also bought my Groupon through the link this morning and got 280 Swagbucks instantly credited.
@Tara, Maybe I have my Swagbucks settings wrong because I only see Groupons for California cities. Are you in California? I’m in Indiana and would love to get in on the Groupons + Swagbucks!!
@Amber, the Groupons on my computer display several of the cities in Central FL, which is my area. Maybe something in your account settings identifies your local area that perhaps you haven’t set up yet.
Wow! How exciting! Thanks for mentioning this, I never would have noticed.
I’ve been getting points back from mypoints.com for printing coupons for quite a while but I did the math and I think that for once, Swagbucks is offering a better deal! Excited to switch
. Thanks for the heads-up!
@Rebekah, me, too! This is awesome! To other posters, I’m not sure how it works, but I’ve used coupons.com with mypoints and gotten credited for redeeming them, so I guess SB has something similar.
I hadnt ever been able to get the MyPoints coupons to work right – it always printed coupons that I didnt select. .So I’ll be printing through Swagbucks now. Great addition to SB!
This would be totally cool if it worked!
Agreeing with the others how do they know. I don’t see my name on them or anything….
@Andrea, Other sites have done this kind of a thing for a while. I do it through MyPoints and do get credited. My guess is that it is something special with the bar code since you print the coupon off through a special link at Swagbucks.
There is not a Coupons link under Earn
@Andi,
I am not seeing it either. I thought I was just going crazy…or blind. glad I’m not the only one.
@Jenn,
Just kidding it isn’t in the swagbucks downloaded toolbar. but it is in the toolbar on the actual site.
@Jenn, okay, i think i realized i wasn’t logged in, so i couldnt see it. but once i logged in to the site, i could see it in my toolbar. its right under trusted surveys
I’d be a little concerned with just how much information about me this would allow them to track. Hmm…
@CB, Coupons.com is doing this anyway as are all the coupon print sites. It was on our local news about 6 weeks ago that those sites are accessing info from your computer when you print from them. By that time I figure they already had my info and more prints do not make a difference now.
@Lana, Interesting, what kind of info are the accessing?
Now this I like. Getting Swagbucks for something I do all the time!!!
This is awesome!!! I do this anyway, and now I can earn more swagbucks??? SO glad I stopped by here this morning!!!!
I notice this yesterday when redeeming some swagbucks. I am curious, as other comments have said…how will they know when it is redeemed? Guess it’s worth a shot…gonna use the coupons anyway;)
Interesting! I just printed some coupons and will give it a try. I just wonder how I will be able to tell if this works or not.
