Heads up to those who have done this offer, this advertiser is now sending emails out saying they are closing the accounts and the pending swagbucks for this offer has been removed for me even though I did not even cancel the service and was using it on another device. Typical bait and switch.
It happened to me too. Looks like there was a thread here yesterday where it happened to a few other people as well. Does anyone have a screenshot of the offer in case I need it later? I submitted a ticket.
I’m curious, did anyone else they did this to use Privacy virtual credit card to sign up? I’m wondering if they noticed that and decided to cancel those accounts since they probably are not going to renew.

I signed up Feb 11. What is the title of the email? I did a search for Frog and Vyprvps and don’t see any email that you received.
My pending SB disappeared also. The offer did NOT say anything about staying over 30 days. It did say money back guaranteed if not satisfied in first 30 days. I cancelled after about a week. I tried it, didn’t like it so they should have at least refunded my money I paid even if they aren’t going to pay me the SB.
I did file a ticket yesterday w/SB but no response.
ETA: Went ahead and emailed and asked Golden Frog/VYRVPs to refund me. I don’t want to mess with SB support. I don’t trust that I get paid so I’m just asking for a refund instead.
I can’t believe they just cancelled out the 22.50 in SB after people did as the offer stated. SB should remove the offer if this is how they are doing people.
ETA: Received email stating my refund has been issued.
I got the email about my Vyprvpn account being closed but as of now my SB are still pending. I guess I won’t count on them actually crediting, though, thanks for the heads up.
Same thing happened to me, it disappeared from my pending activity today, im not happy…
Yep mine is now missing from pending. Got an email two days ago -

Same thing happened to me. Just casually checked my SB ledger and noticed it seemed a bit off. Noticed the 2,250 missing. Checked my emails and got the email from VyprVpn acknowledging they canceled my subscription. $12.95 was refunded to credit card on 3/9.
Contacted Swagbucks support in hopes they’ll credit it back but not holding my hopes up since I got refunded. Still out $10-15 from the deal though plus my time.
Dirty games being played by VyprVpn and Swagbucks. Classic bait and switch.
You can still find the offer in Shop. Just do a search of VYPRVPN.
VyprVPN provides a 30 day money-back guarantee so that customers can try VyprVPN 100% risk free. Contact customer support to request a refund within 30 days of purchase.
I used my regular credit card because my bank no longer allows transactions with privacy.com.
The title of the email was " You have cashback pending for a recent purchase at VyprVPN". Hope that helps you find it.
Sounds like Vypr is trying to rip off SwagBucks frankly. Use their site to get referrals and then not pay them or us. If your pending does go away I’d let SwagBucks know. I suspect Vypr might be getting a letter from legal. Not surprising.
You have cashback pending for a recent purchase at VyprVPN
Thanks so much. Only email I have with that title is the one below. Is that the same title as the email saying they are closing our accts and removing our SB?
Congratulations! You’re getting cash back from Swagbucks on your recent purchase. Order Date Store SB Credit Date Purchase Amount Pending SB 02/11/21 VyprVPN03/15/21 $ 12.95 2,250 SB
I also got a refund without asking for it. I’m super glad that I won’t be out any money, even if I was looking forward to easily meeting my second goal in a few days when it was supposed to credit.
