Swagbucks - free gift cards and other prizes

[AndyBogard]

Whatever floats your boat, no one is forcing you to use it

You are.

[canadianmom]

The $5 US PayPal for 80sb is available to USA residents only. :cry:

Does not say available to US residents only anymore just that its $5.00 in US funds

[3niDaPooh]

This prize is available to USA residents only. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-checkout&id=15220&catid=17)

Its still there on the left hand side of the page where its always been.

[Teatreeoil]

Where does it say this is for US only?

If you are logged in then under "Snag It!", it says, "This prize is available to USA residents only. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Also, if you put your cursor over "Snag It!" then a yellow message appears that says, "Item cannot be redeemed at this time. See alert box below for details."

Hmmm very strange but I don't see that at all. Just tells me I don't have enough SB's for this prize. Maybe thats the reason why:?:

searched the word and got another 3 bucks; therefore the word gave me 4 bux

[MaddogMonty]

Not sure if anyone has done this before but I figure it might help a few people. If you are going to sign up for Swagbucks make an account and then get that accounts referral link. Then sign up with that and make account #2 your primary account (don't log into #1 at all). Therefore every time you win swagbucks on searches your first account will get swagbucks too (up to 100).

You could do that if you want to risk getting deactivated and lose both accounts

[MaddogMonty]

It works fine. But if you really want to be safe perhaps sign up for the first account somewhere else.

[ykshum]

It works fine. But if you really want to be safe perhaps sign up for the first account somewhere else.

and you won't be able to claim your prize unless you have 2 addresses

and if you have 2 addresses..it's not really much of a trick..:lol:

sigh, do we really need to explain that a code posted 2 days ago is not going to still be valid?

[zajacik99]

did anybody else notice that 5$ paypal card offer is gone?

[buddhababy]

sigh, do you really need to post every time you get a text you don't like? Given that it was a two day code, posting the expiration is not out of line.

[RiCHC3]

What was the -original- offer?
I see it right now for 80 swagbucks for $5 -- which is ridiculous compared to an Amazon GC

Well if you get Amazon GC your limited to that site but if you get Paypal GC then you can practically buy anything off the web.

[Tibbs]

I don't think there is an expiry date attached to the gift card. And yes, you can stack the gift cards.

So are they actually sending you the GC in mail or just a code # for the card? In other words, do I need to put my address into SwagBucks?

Amazon GC's are sent via email. No physical address needed for Amazon redemptions.

[sidseven]

They are now allowing Canadians to get the $5 PayPal. It's 80SB and the description says $5 US dollars will be deposited.

[Lee83]

sorry for going off-topic, but can someone clarify how paypal works exactly? I have an account created through a couple ebay transactions but I used visa as the payment method. However, if I do receive funds say through swagbucks for example, and want to send this money to make a purchase elsewhere, do I have to verify my account first and connect it to my bank account? Or is this not necessary?

My question is similar: If you have $ in your paypal account, does Paypal take the $ in your account first for the transaction before using credit card on file?

[Tibbs]

Weird. As soon as I tried my first Snag on the $5 amazon.ca gift card it threw up my details and said I have to fill in my address. And it won't let me submit without it.

Is there a way around it?

You have to enter an address, but they will post the card# to your SB account.

Re: paypal
I was just trying to figure out if it's worth it to use Paypal, they charge a certain percentage for email transfers, plus a transaction fee (2.9%+30cents, something along those lines) and then they also have a currency conversion fee. I guess if you are allowed to hold an account in USD, then you can avoid the currency conversion fees, but I'm not familiar with how it works to receive money. I've only ever used Paypal to pay for stuff.

Honestly, even now, this Paypal offer isn't really all that good. You need double the points compared to a amazon giftcard, and I am fairly certain that they do take off fees as well. If they offered Paypal for around say 60, then I'd say go for it.

[RiCHC3]

Very true, but the thing is you can virtually buy $10 worth of Amazon cards for $5 worth of Paypal. If anything, just snag the Amazon cards and resell for $7 or $8.

A little extra effort, but particularly with the Windows 7 pre-order, lots of people are buying.

[kishore]

How does swagbucks know when you are using multiple accounts? Is it because of the same IP address?

[lindorz]

I'm sorry if this sounds like a "stupid question" but why would swagbucks not allow you to "snag it" even though you have the proper number of swagbucks?
For example, I would like to get the $10 Starbucks Gift Card which costs 130 Swagbucks and I have enough for that. However when i click on snag it, i get some message saying that the item cannot be redeemed at this time... Help anyone? Thanks.

[_RFDealt_]

Hm, I got an e-mail/text message for 'expired' but not for Pamplona. That's annoying.

Did you get all your Swagbucks from Swagbucks.com? Or did you maybe get some from one of their "sister" sites like http://ozzsearch.swagbucks.com/?

I had the same thing happen to me and when I go to my account it says:

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3807/20090708071923.jpg

In otherwords I have to use the 1 swagbuck from the Ozzy win on the Ozzy site.

[Justine]

Anyone notice lately that it is becoming harder and harder to get SB for searching? I normally got 2 a day for this, now I can't get any, lucky if I get one.

[saint2e]

I have definitely noticed this.

[grier]

They have enough members, so they do not care.

[Bell Rep]

They have enough members, so they do not care.

Its not that they dont care, its because theres too many people using bots and whatever so it affects us all.

ya that sucks.

I am not a bot. :P

[InfamousDC]

Looks like the amount goes up and down sometimes. Just last week, I could get at least 5 SB a day, and the week before that, I would be lucky to get even on.

[MadameKelebek]

I think maybe they are changing the code frequently. I found a code here:
http://searchwithincubus.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-checkout&id=15343&catid=120

or try http://searchwithincubus.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-list&id=120
in case they are moving it around to different prizes. It was in the prize description.
I was going to say the same thing. I found the code on my own by going here: http://searchwithincubus.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-list&id=120 and looking at all 8 of the prize descriptions until I found it.

[MadameKelebek]

You got the same code as me....I entered it on swagbucks.com and got 1 swagbuck however, I am now pretty sure that sidseven is correct.....they have caught on to people posting codes and now they have mixed it up some.....not the same code for every user.

[MaddogMonty]

Thanks to all who posted codes today. With those and searching I got a nice 10 SB today.

[lindorz]

Yeah i got 130 swagbucks from the swagbucks.com site. i also got 1 swagbuck from another sister site.. so im not sure why they wont allow me to buy the starbucks giftcard...

[Gmas]

Joined June 12th and just hit 180 SB today. $20 in Amazon GC in less than a month. Pretty happy.

Have 4-5 people under me who use it frequently as well so I'm consistently making 8-12 SB a day now.

That is fast. It took me like two months to get 130.
I have 13 friends, but only like 3-4 of them have any points.
And I miss codes all the time, and searching has been a b*tch lately.

[scv]

Any new codes today? I just signed up with this site 2 days ago.

Please don't ask questions in the Swagbucks codes thread as there are a lot of people who have subscribed to the thread with instant email notifications as well as Text messaging, and it screws us up.

There is usually a code per day, or perhaps several, you just have to wait for them.

[sidseven]

The $5 PayPal prize has been reduced to 70 SB until July 16th. I still think I'll stick with the amazon cards though.

[downloadinjunkie]

Yeah sorry about that. My bad.

don't post asking for codes. ONLY post code or expiration notices. why is this such a hard concept for people to grasp?

Replying in the subscription thread doesn't help either...

[MaddogMonty]

[Stabilo7]

this thread has been a complete failure

EFFF!!
You are a complete failure...

It's not a hard concept people.... If you dont like people doing it... dont do it to.

[K8]

This is the pm I sent to "vedia" ...
Perhaps if you READ how this thread is supposed to be used, then you wouldnt be so critical. If you dont like it, then don't use it but please dont ruin it for the rest of us who think it's great

[AddictedToHockey]

so many useless texts the last couple days

[scv]

It looks like they are randomizing codes now. I guess the thing to do now is post the link to where the code is, rather than the code itself.

Hi all:

I've just read through a dozen or so of the pages in this thread and it is the most useful Swagbucks discussion I've found. Thanks! Re: the verification code...I clean my cookies quite often and I find that I'm asked for verification whenever the cookies have been swept out. So I think the verification may be triggered when the site doesn't recognize your computer as a 'frequent flyer.'

Cheers,
mac2

Has anyone noticed a change in the awarding of Swagbucks?

I used to consistently get them in the morning and evening, but now I seem to only get them in the afternoon or evening . . .

Another friend of mine is experiencing the same. :confused:

This is interesting. I usually would just avoid using Swagbucks in the afternoon as I would never get get them during this time. I've noticed a drop lately, so perhaps searching in the afternoon will make up the slack.

[joostin]

I just won two separate single swagbucks within 10 minutes. West coast 10am.

I have actually been getting more swagbucks lately. The algorithm could be user based not community. Meaning depending on your search frequency, timing, etc., your rewards change? Not the same for every user.

Just a guess.

You refer friend, they search and get 2 SB, then you also get a 2 SB. If they enter a code for 1 SB, you will get 0 SB since it wasn't earned through a search.

If you think you referred them and are not earning any SBs from their searches, then they likely didn't follow the referal stage properly, by possibly clicking another referal links before yours (cookies) or going directly to SB.com instead of clicking the referal link.

There's a new code on the blog but they are changing it with every page refresh so you have to go there to get yours.The code that was just posted in the subscription thread won't work.

I guess the offer expired....

[an0nymz]

I would like to add a new rule to this thread:
For codes that are constantly changing please post the location as each person who visits the link gets a different variation of the code

I would assume that's common sense. If the poster realizes it's a changing code, they would post the link. Those who posted the actual code probably didn't know the difference between "static" and "dynamic" codes.

And that post did not belong in the code thread. You could've posted here or PM me.

[InfamousDC]

OH my god I seriously hate people that have to comment on the Subscription thread. Not only is it annoying to have to get sent a email + to delete it, but I read it in case it is a code.

Anyways, looks like saving up for some used video games are worth more than the giftcards.

[Flash3]

Does anyone have unused Amazon.ca gift cards they want to trade? I want to buy something that's on sale right now and its low on stock. I'm trying to claim my Swagbucks but the verification email is taking forever. I promise this isn't a scam, I'll exchange the gift card codes back to you when I get them!

[Justine]

You're probably searching too much. I only get a couple swagbucks from searches (one in the morning and one at night, maybe one late late night). But that doesn't include swagcodes. Potential 4 swagbucks a day. Theres a swagcode that's active right now: YouTube10k

[Lone_Prodigy]

NEWBIE

5 sb for all new registrants, until Friday. Add the code during the signup process.

Source: Twitter

That is hardly a SwagCode.

[Madchester]

That is hardly a SwagCode.

No different than codes specific to certain band or retail sites.

[java_girl]

What Lone_Prodigy is trying to say is that people reading or subscribed to this thread are already registered so this code is useless.

[Madchester]

^

There's dozens of people registering for the site each week - so your point is moot. Can't assume that only existing users view the thread - let alone existing viewers wanting to refer friends and family to the site.

If said code posted on the subscription theread doesn't fit your needs (i.e. today's Used Video Game store-only SB) then move on. Very simple.

For [deity]'s sake guys, stop spamming the damn thread. If the code is expired, make sure it's ACTUALLY expired before you go around posting it. Also, we don't need 3 people saying that it's not expired.

I appreciate you guys posting codes but seriously, I'm sure people subscribed to the thread (including myself) don't appreciate getting their inbox spammed with your unnecessary posts.

Thanks.

One post saying it's not expired is enough.

[AddictedToHockey]

wow... keep the comments here. We should really only have codes and no expiry comments. After you get the code, you have already looked at the thread, which means now you will get the pointless expiry text. Most people put the expiry time on their code anyways, yet, people will still post the pointless expiry comment.

[an0nymz]

We should really only have codes and no expiry comments.

Without expiry posts, if you haven't checked the code thread for a while, when you go back to it, you'll have a long list of codes to try. Unless people post the expiry time, but that's not always the case.

Yeah, like the time when someone posted that the code was expired two days after code was posted, lol.

The thread is usually cleared every two days anyways. There should really be only 2 or 3 codes to try. Most codes expire a few hours after its been posted.

The thread doesn't only post codes. Sometimes people can't find the code, so they post an alert so that others can help. Don't expect everyone else to do the work for you all the time.

u shouldve read the thread before everything was deleted.

3 useless guys saying "code isnt on here yet"? so that's called helping? yeah, i thought so too.

Right, I only saw some of it. The follow-up posts were NOT necessary, but the first one was ok.

That was in this thread. Not everyone subscribes to this one, you know. That's the point of having two threads. I didn't see that reminder until after the code alert.

So... Madchester posted the clue... we don't need other people reciting the same thing.

My comment was directed at those who only wait for a code to be posted and not even attempt to find it themselves.

[an0nymz]

All right, everyone, time out. I remember a mod posted a while ago that if the hostility and name calling don't stop, he/she will shut down the code thread. If you find the thread useful, then stop bickering.

The rule of thumb is don't post anything you don't like receiving in your mailbox / cellphone, but don't flip when someone does.

Just a little note but if you're on vacation to some place such as Hong Kong and you try to use Swagbucks, it'll give you this message: DUE TO YOUR TERRITORY, ONLY VIDEO RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU AT THIS TIME. So I guess you can't get Swagbucks when you're in another country...more than a month of Swagbucks gone down the drain for me...

Hey guys,

I know this has probably come up before, but in a 147 page thread, I thought we could use a refresher...

What do you find to be the best value for your swagbuck? I've been getting Amazon.ca GC's, but would like to hear what others do with their's and why.

@moxy: redemption seems to take longer now. Might want to wait a bit. If you want to email them anyway, try support@swagbucks.com

[_RFDealt_]

Wow. A lot of changes are afoot. I got up to 45 points today, redeemed for a amazon.ca giftcard and got it... A FEW HOURS later!

Also, a lot more multiple point wins lately. I'm getting like 4-5 points a day now, with the swagcodes, that gets up to about 6-7, which is solid. It sucks because a few of my friends are up to 100 points so I no longer get points from them.

I'm liking this new swagbucks.

[Bell Rep]

I notice that all the people that are getting the gift cards right away is for Amazon.CA. I only order .COM so it takes the whole 10 business days to be sent.

does anyone know if the vpgames gc can be stacked?

sometimes the total with shipping can be less than .ca with the way our dollar is going higher.

[Bell Rep]

I never find what I want on .CA ever its always on .COM. Shipping is a killer but that just means I have to do a little more searching.

whats the code i cant find it?

It was a few posts earlier (http://blog.swagbucks.com/2009/07/twitter-trivia-today_30.html), but it was already expired by the time you asked (8pm est). The question should've been in this thread, by the way.

[coconut_head]

DS its not that big, but there is a possibility there will be a custom fee if they don't mark it as a gift.

But I remember i ordered something from monoprice (which i suppose already paid for all shipping charges within amount i paid). Upon receiving my package, I was charged $9.xx for custom charges and must pay to canada post....the rep there told me, anything value over $30 there is a chance for custom charges, unless mark as gift.

If you're concerned, it would make a lot more sense to cash ur swagbucks into 5 dollar amazon.ca codes and buy a ds from amazon.ca. Would probably work out to less too (45 swagbucks = 5 dollars)

Does the amazon.ca GC have any expiry date? and can you use more than one at a time?

[Flash3]

Does the amazon.ca GC have any expiry date? and can you use more than one at a time?

I don't believe they have an expiry date. Also, if you have an amazon.ca account, you could put the codes into your account and store it, you don't necessarily have to use them right away. And yes, you can use more than 1, just last week I used 8 GCs for $40 off. :lol::twisted:

[_RFDealt_]

Does the amazon.ca GC have any expiry date? and can you use more than one at a time?

I believe it is illegal for GC's to expire in Canada so no worries about that. Amazon.COM's I believe expire 6 months after you apply them to your account. .CA should be fine. I have applied 12 $5 GC's to my amazon.ca account (just go to apply gift certificate) and am just waiting for something worth buying...

[ykshum]

is it me or does it sometimes when I search I go to the rules page. I have to delete the cookies than I'm able to search again. Is it because I use the back button and search again?

I only got that when I used a macro to help search or when I clicked randomly non stop and searched really quickly (I got deactivated btw, either for this reason or because I made another account, but my other account works fine...I did lose alot of points in my original account though)

Probably same IP, but it doesn't matter much, I live on school residence and share wireless with 4 others, who are also swagbucks member. I also login from school library alot.. so my accounts are all over the place and probably in conflict with dozen of swagbucks users.

I emailed swagbucks twice trying to state my case about conflict while logging in at public computers, but they simply ignores me.. pretty sad how they deactivate me a few days after I requested a amazon.ca GC.

[Lone_Prodigy]

ya thats what i was wondering, is it possible to have 2 accounts using different ips without getting banned?

Why don't you try it and let us know if it works? I would think that one per household also means one account per person. If you're willing to risk getting your accounts deactivated by all means go ahead.

Oh, maybe it was my mistake for jumping the gun. My code was just FunInTheSun (no random characters). Maybe swagbucks is switching it up to try and find out which accounts are using legit or copied/stolen codes???

I suppose if this is the case, in the end, posting the code with the expiry date as well as the direct link would probably be the best way of doing this...

lol, pretty funny for first post. swagbucks doesnt force you to join their website, its your own choice, and it isn't free they aren't just handing out swagbucks, you have to search, from which they get paid, and they get a lot of advertising done through prizes and giveaways and what not.

I think they should update the original post with info on these generated codes (the ones with gibberish at the end, like Pie324324Kjgj).

It would be suspicious if a bunch of people input the same code that is supposed to be unique, no?
Plus, it will confuse people who think the code has expired or does not exist.

(edit -- see the subscription thread for what I mean!)

[MadameKelebek]

why not just post the code here? Grippy2brNKXThe code is NOT the same for each person. Mine was: Grippy2SIsjc

expired or single use?

The code is good until 1PM PDT, another 40 minutes.

[loonie]

done, but you think people will read??? :)

how about making it a general rule to put the location of the code whether or not it is unique for everyone or not...just a suggestion because I remember a while back, OMNI would post fake codes in forums so that when people would input, it would deactivate their accounts. It may be a little more tiring, but a lot safer. or maybe put the location + the code if the code is not unique for everyone...

The code is good until 1PM PDT, another 40 minutes.



I am on MSN right now and my friend just used the code and it worked for him. The code is good until 1 pm pacific time and it is only 12:30 pacific time.

Well, yours worked for me, tyvm! It was BestOffer's code that came up as expired.

[an0nymz]

how about making it a general rule to put the location of the code whether or not it is unique for everyone or not...just a suggestion because I remember a while back, OMNI would post fake codes in forums so that when people would input, it would deactivate their accounts. It may be a little more tiring, but a lot safer. or maybe put the location + the code if the code is not unique for everyone...

well, I can put that into the OP, but the point is that people scroll right through it, even if it's font size 72 or the colours of a rainbow :lol:. There's no way to enforce any rule if people don't read.

Done, but to be even safer, whenever anything is posted in that thread, verify it yourself before inputting the code if there's still time before expiry.

ya personally, i use your thread as an alert, and by the name of the code it becomes fairly easy to look for the code to confirm myself, but it sure would be convenient if we make it a habit to post the location and the code, thanks an0nymz

WOW. Maybe its rigged as in the seller has another account bidding trying to get a high price but they lose $14 for nothing.

[Justine]

I couldn't get any sb yesterday either for searching.... but I did get 8sb from referrals, so I think they cap you if you get too many. I got 2sb after midnight today for searching.

it was probably bought by a scammer, they win the bid, use fraudulent funds, get the codes, and the seller is out of luck. uninsurable


Ive learned this the hard way, only sell to active accounts with good ratings

bitching about a "thanks" in the subscription thread in 3....2....1....

I don't even get angry about it anymore, I just open the email, delete it, and move on.

[meg2006]

I only have one account. I promote Swagbucks on web so lots of my readers and friends became my referrals. I just started to enjoy the benefit of having referrals and my account got cancelled. I sent them an email and they didn't reply for more than 1 week. SO I sent out another email and after 2 weeks waiting, they reply saying that they can not reactive my account and didn't give any evidence.

The only reason for them canceling my account is that they want to take advantages. I have ordered 5 gift cards and have couple of gift cards in my account before my account got cancelled. Now they can keep the gift cards. They know that even after my account got canceled, my referrals will continuously search on the Swagbuck web.

Swagbuck suck!

Is it better to redeem for amazon.ca or amazon.com? I mean canadians can order from amazon.com right? I've never ordered from amazon.com but I am planning on saving enough sb to get some money off a nice camera.

I personally save for .com because they have stuff that .ca don't have. Yes, you can buy from .com but they only thing is that the shipping is really expensive.

[Justine]

I will go with .ca in that case, the gift cards that you add to your account don't expire right? so you can stack them and get something when you ready?

[MaddogMonty]

Swagbucks is catching on when you bookmark a search cause my account got deactivated and they said it was unnatural searching =P

uh oh...i guess i should stop doing that :o

but did they send you a email to warn you about it before they deactivate the account? I'm just worried that they deactivate your account when you claim the prize, thats just waste of my effort searching daily and entering codes. :evil:

[jzzlvr]

Thanks for posting the code 5 times... same time posts I can understand, but read the earlier posts please.

hey was that my post? If it was, I posted it right after MadameKelebek posted the alert, but because it was my first post, it was subjected to mod verification before becoming visible on the forum. Sorry but that was out of my hand. :o

what do you mean bookmark a search?

[Bell Rep]

what do you mean bookmark a search?

You search Redflagdeals in Swagbucks and bookmark that search so everytime you want to go to RFD then you just go to that bookmark and hopefully you win a buck. Shouldn't do that as you can see you can get banned.

[archvenus14]

aww.. no!! thats where half my search was coming from.. :(

[PEPTALK]

I used my swagbucks for a PayPal card. It's been about two weeks...it should arrive soon :).

Perhaps make a bookmark folder with a wide variety of searches you can mix it up a bit?

[flexwong]

i ordered my second starbucks gift card earlier this week, it's been verified but still not shipped out :(

first time i ordered it was verified and shipped out within a day. no idea why it's taking so long, b/c delivery itself took about 3 weeks.

There is a code out right now: Swag Bucks Hey guys, hope you're enjoying your Friday. It's Mega Swag Bucks Day & TSGal stopped by today, all around good day. In fact, in one of TSGal's 2 blog posts this week, she linked to a video from a movie. Enter the last name of the director of the movie on any S&E site (DO NOT POST THE CODE HERE!) for a bonus Swag Buck before 4:30PM PDT!

[MadameKelebek]

it's the last name of fight club director

Fincher

Thank you firebelly!!!!!!! I wish I could access youtube from my pc so I could have figured it out and posted the code instead of posting a heads up though.

[Bell Rep]

Need one more buck for a Amazon gift card.

[sidseven]

Same thing happened to me. Just got it activated a couple of mins ago.

Me too. I just got back from vacation to find my account was deactivated. I emailed them this morning and they replied this evening. They reactivated my account and told me to avoid unnatural searching and clicking or my account could be permanently deactivated.

I have 3-4 bookmarked searches that I use almost every day, several times a day, so I guess I'll have to delete those.

I'm impressed with their customer service, I didn't expect to hear back from them right away.

I was not so impressed: no reply to first email after deactivation recently, although same day reply to second email I sent over a week later. Thankfully I was reactivated, but one of my Amazon gc orders remains "Denied".

I didn't think I was searching that often or that unnaturally (no bookmarks). As a result, I'm somewhat paranoid now. Be careful fellow swagbuckers!

[sidseven]

I'm a bit paranoid too now-- other than those 3-4 bookmarks, I don't think I was searching unnaturally, and I certainly wasn't spamming or searching too often. I'm also worried about the part where they mention clicking links-- when I search I usually open a bunch of result links at once, in different tabs, so that I don't have to wait for each page to load before reading. I think that's normal behaviour, but in their email they say not to 'click links in an attempt to gain Swagbucks'. That is not what I'm doing, and I don't see how you can click links to gain swagbucks since clicking links just takes you elsewhere. I don't understand why they care if you are clicking on links or not.

Does your gift card status actually say 'denied'? I redeemed for 2 amazon.com cards about a month ago, before the deactivation, and one got posted to my account, but I didn't have a chance to log in to get it before I was deactivated-- that one is showing up in my account after the reactivation. The second one still says 'verified' but I wonder if I'll still get it or not.

The clicking links warning had me wondering too. Maybe they're referring to the Result Page links at bottom? Can get swagbucks clicking those, so I had a tendency to do that.

Yup, Order Status is http://www.swagbucks.com/content/swagstore/images/account/status4.gif, so you probably have a better chance of getting yours than I do.

[LoneI2anger]

it honestly seems like people are just trying to get attention cause they know were all subscribed to this and all they can ever contribute is a "expired"couple days later...

[moxy]

I'm just waiting for someone to complain that "expired" isn't a valid code.

[ykshum]

you mean it wasn't a code :confused: ??

and swagbucks really sucks now..I'm getting maybe 1 swagbucks for the same searches I use to do.. only I use to get 2-3

At this rate, it isn't really worth my effort as the searches I make are just of sites which I know the addresses to.

[RxMedic]

has anyone tried the cellphone recycling for swagbuck?

I have this ancient Sony Cellphone but it's not on the list :(

[cashinstinct]

I did video game recycling because I got 45 SB for 2 games disc-only, it cost me under $1 to ship them, EB games was giving me $1 for each game.... I was curious to try the system, it works.

However, for a cellphone it's not worth it, most of them are worth 1SB, if yours is not listed, it will be 1 SB maximum, and they will not pay shipping if you ship from Canada.

For an ancient cell ,it's worth nothing unfortunately in general no matter which service you use.

[flexwong]

they finally shipped my $10 starbucks card. :D

Maybe BB is the best option since it's of no value in market..at least they pay the shipping and will plant a tree for you? And hopefully they aren't just trashing it

you are very right, I barely manage to get one from searching everyday, and alot of my refferals seem to have been discouraged, I have 25 and get like 2 from them...I just do it now for like a minute a day, but I am after that new socialsearch site now, hope it is legit, amazing prizes if it is

[Justine]

they finally shipped my $10 starbucks card. :D

How long did that take?
Mine went from being marked "shipped" back to "verified" today, not sure why. I emailed them and they sent me a very general estimated shipping times for their prizes, meaning it could take 14 days to ship gift cards. Well I am on day 13 today.

[an0nymz]

thanks for the code, MadameKelebek. Glad I got home in time for it :D

[sidseven]

I agree. Most of the codes that get posted have an expiry date in the original post already, and I think everybody knows that the codes usually don't last that long anyway.

[an0nymz]

Well, if the code poster specifically says "expires at ..." then there's no need to say "expired". Otherwise when you check the thread, you'll see a long list of codes that you have no idea whether they have expired. Trying them all at Swagbucks will make your account look suspicious. Expiry posts also help the mod to know which ones to clean up too.

That said, I'm open to working alternatives to posting "expired" posts. Ideally the code poster should edit out their post, like I crossed out the link the other day, but someone ended up saying it was expired 2 days later, so...

...and I think everybody knows that the codes usually don't last that long anyway.

...no, not everybody. And some codes do last a few days (like the ones from Swagbucks email subscription).

Whatever changes we make to the rules, it'll be hard to implement because people who are already familiar with the system won't read the first post.

Unless I'm real late, I tend to try the code anyways even with the "Expired" comment. Alot of people are somehow confused with linked unique codes and randomly say "Expired" and others start posting their own unique code and others reply Expired and it's a big annoying cycle. And those who don't look at dates and post days after is plain !@#!%& up

Just a little question about claiming the prizes.....I was wondering does anyone knows if swagbucks staff are gonna check how we accumulate our points when we claim our prizes?

Because I saw someone from a few post earlier saying, the bookmark method might get our account flagged and I used to do that as well. I'm kinda worried if they are going to go through the trouble and check my account history, when I claim the prize.

Anyone up for a trade between the two?

Anyone know if the Swidget for Facebook actually GIVES you the Swagcode? :/

Cause so far, all I've gotten was "Check the blog for a Swagcode!" and they're usually pretty time-consuming to find.

i guess that's the con of having it in USD.

[sidseven]

Yup, Order Status is http://www.swagbucks.com/content/swagstore/images/account/status4.gif, so you probably have a better chance of getting yours than I do.

I did end up getting the gift card. I just saw a posting from a guy on facebook that got deactivated and as a result had 'denied' prizes. He said he wrote another email to swagbucks saying that his account had been re-activated and asked if they could re-verify his prizes, and they did. So maybe if you write in again you can get yours too.

I just thought of this: use OpenDNS to redirect all your frequently visted sites to the swagbucks search. Then, even if you forget, it'll still redirect to the search page.

[an0nymz]

I wonder if Swagbucks can tell which widget was used to generate the codes. If they can, it'll look highly suspicious if many of us use the same widget installed in that blog. On the other hand, I'm reluctant to install the widget on my own sites, cos who knows what other information they may collect...

Great, add me to the list of a de-activated account.

I wasn't bookmarking searches and I was searching legitimately. That's just great, I was waiting for 3 $5 Amazon GC too.

5 a day is a lot. I usually get around 2-3 daily unless I hit one of those bonus and get 5 or 10.

[loonie]

thanks an0nymz for the code

[an0nymz]

um... Just got this PM from JCareyB.

the placement of the widget on your page, and the inability to display all of it on a macintosh using firefox means that it didn't work for me. since it doesn't work for me, I went elsewhere to find out what the SwagCode was..... though I appreciate the "heads up" that there was a new SwagCode, I had to go elsewhere to find it, so I didn't "linger" or return to your site.

I want to make it clear that I'm in no way associated with that blog. In case you missed the discussion a few days ago, sidseven posted that link to make it easier for those who don't have the widget. You can always install your own widget (http://www.swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-widgetgrab), so not sure why I'm being blamed for the page not working with your OS... :lol:

[moxy]

I gave them 2 weeks to reply (I sent an email each week) and got nothing.. so I decided to screw them and just started another account. I've learnt my lesson now though and request GC right away.. I have gotten 2 so far with no problems

so if they don't reply you and you want to join again..don't think they'll stop you.

Not to go totally off-topic but there seems to be a code for 2 SB at their gift card page for Ding (http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-checkout&id=1753&catid=17). I can't get it to work cause it says expired. Says it's dead at 4 but its not working at 3:30. Is it from a day before?

Edit: Oh haha. Stupid me. I thought the difference was 3 hours but apparently its 2 hour difference from PDT to EST. oopsies.

Sorry to be the one to tell you the bad news, however most everyone that pays attention to this thread already has an account and the way SwagBucks works, you only get "extra" bucks if you refer someone and they sign up using your referral link. And even then, you only get 1 buck for every 1 buck they win by doing searches, not when they enter a code and they do not get anything "extra" by being signed up with your referral. Also after they have searched and won 100 SwagBucks, you stop earning those "extra" bucks from them.

Also we are not allowed to post any referral links on this forum.

You can post a referral on your FaceBook....I have done that and had a couple of people join using my referral and earning me "extra" SwagBucks.

Swagbuck limits the amount you can win a day and if the system sees that your abusing it they will ban you for that day or completely.

[ykshum]

$10 is half of $35? :lol::lol::lol:

well it's actually only $30, but including shipping and so on, I'll need $35 worth of GC to cover everything

If they say you are using a bot then they won't give back your account because your obviously abusing. I got deactivated before and they said I wasn't searching naturally and that they will give me a second chance and to not search so frequent. Ever since I am giving plenty of time in between searches.

Well color me stupid because I don't get how using auto refresh is in any way a benefit to collecting SB's. Could someone smart explain it to me?

Anyways, if there is some advantage to using auto refresh, then you are indeed SOL and will have to start over.

Lesson for next time - cash in early, cash in often.

~68? it was my first account.

~68? it was my first account.

Well, that's a bit of a loss but not staggeringly bad. If whatever you were doing actually did boost yer bucks then you've probably only lost about 2 weeks or less of 'work' so it's not a disaster.

If there's some defense to using auto refresh (ie: it does not boost bucks) then by all means email them again.

Remember, there are shipping charges. So I'm pretty sure you need at least 3 $5 giftcards to actually get that for free.

[NoTime]

Remember, there are shipping charges. So I'm pretty sure you need at least 3 $5 giftcards to actually get that for free.

I was actually more confused about this
Gift Certificates cannot be redeemed for purchases from third party sellers accessible from www.amazon.ca.

but $11 shipping!?!? :-0

I didn't know that the gc covered shipping at all.

[java_girl]

You need to spend $39 to get free shipping. And if you want your items totally free, you need $45 in amazon.ca GC to pay for tax.

You can get a $5 GC approximately every two weeks, so it'll take you about 18 weeks, 4 and half months to get $45.

As far as I know, you can only redeem GC on items sold by amazon.ca, not third parties.

I registered for SB on February 18th and currently have $55 worth of Amazon GC's. I didn't start seriously using it until a month or two after I registered, though.

I was thinking of getting this http://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B0006A9SM0/ref=dp_olp_used/191-7707723-1824603?ie=UTF8&qid=1251486630&sr=1-5&condition=used

getting 2 of the $1.99 one:lol:

but I am not sure if I can use the gc for it since I've never used amazon before.

Thanks

As others have pointed out, the link you quote are marketplace sellers, sort of a "buy it now" eBay purchase more than an actual Amazon purchase. These are 3rd party sellers and almost always you will pay shipping on these orders no matter what your total.

I can't speak to using them on marketplace sellers, but the Amazon gift codes work! I've earned and used $15 so far with absolutely no problems.

If you've not used Amazon before, they used to have (not sure if they still do) an additional discount off your first order. But again, that wouldn't apply to marketplace orders, just items directly from Amazon.ca

[fightbriz]

how many SB per day average do u guys get?

[deadice]

Code that is out now is good until 4pm PDT not 3PDT.

I guess they changed it after I posted... :confused:I just know that I copied that from my FaceBook Swidget to post here.

[calcuu]

I want to get the fragrancenet.com GC but how's the shipping charges if anyone has bought from them before? Also, can I redeem more than one GC per day? I want to get around 5 of those fragrance ones.

fragrancenet swagbucks page says:
One code per Swag Buck account. Codes may not be combined with each other.

[calcuu]

Thank you for clarifying that!

I registered for SB on February 18th and currently have $55 worth of Amazon GC's. I didn't start seriously using it until a month or two after I registered, though.

That's good to know. I registered when it was first posted here but also didn't start using it until about 2-3 weeks ago and have almost enough for $10in Amazon GC's (70 SBs so far).

how many SB per day average do u guys get?

Usually at least 2 (one with a code, one with a search), a couple times as many as 5 (one with a code, won 3 with one search, one with another search). But I'm not on every day so I could probably have more if I made more of an effort to check out the swidget and do searches.

[Gebraroest]

I make about 5 -10 sb a day, gave up searching on it sucks too much, let my refs do all the work :D. 300 refs ftw

[Gebraroest]

Made about 5500 sb total

[madchives]

thanks, RifRatZ, well it is september :D

[MadameKelebek]

The new tool bar for SwagBucks is available for download now.

Thanks for the heads up aznguy. NewToolbar <---- exp 9am pdt It expires on September 2nd, not today!

[Lone_Prodigy]

Thanks for the heads up aznguy. It expires on September 2nd, not today!

Yep, just got 1SB.

[houng]

SWagO -- hurry expires soon. worth 2SBs right now.

Only 1sb for me

Got 5sb already today, 3sb from 1 search, 1 from NewToolbar, and another from SWagO :D

[mattkickbox]

does anyone know some recent codes?

[loonie]

is it just me or in the last 20 hours there have been 5 codes! :D this is crazy!

[deadice]

NewToolbar is the only active one now, until 02 Sep at 9am PDT.

Also, why are all the posts deleted in the code thread? NewToolbar isn't even in there anymore???

SwaGbaR expires 5:30PM PDT
This is worth 2 bucks!!
I got total of 6 bucks today, 5 from swagcodes and 1 from my own search. Need 1 more buck for another $5 amazon.ca GC. Maybe get another one tonight.

Thanks everyone for the codes.

[deadice]

oh i don't know, so everyone can fill thread up again?:D

That's fine, I'm saying it doesn't make sense to remove a still valid code.:lol:

[Lone_Prodigy]

I redeemed for a $5 Amazon.ca GC a couple days ago, searched "amazon" and got 3 SB. :)

[Orracle]

I redeemed for a $5 Amazon.ca GC a couple days ago, searched "amazon" and got 3 SB. :)

[sillysimms]

how many SB per day average do u guys get?

For me, usually 1 (sometimes more) a day through search and 1 through a code (more if the code is worth more).

Today was a particularly good day. 2 through search and 3 through codes. I've been on it about 6 weeks. I don't use it everyday, or I would have more but currently at 81.

[madchives]

That's fine, I'm saying it doesn't make sense to remove a still valid code.:lol:
no, you're right it didn't, maybe someone was thinking thread was going to go nuts, or,,,,,
er, wasn't thinking,,,,,,,:D

[doraemi]

I got this from the toolbar. Got myself 1 SB

Enter "Nominations4QKg6xs" on any Search&Win site before 1PM PDT!

1PM PDT is 4PM EST? if so that code is long expired. I don't want to install another toolbar just for a code.

[houng]

Ordered my 4th Amazon GC... hope they are quicker than last time (two weeks), I want GH5 now!

[sillysimms]

I wish the restaurant.com gift certificate had participating Canadian restaurants. A $25 restaurant gift certificate for 40SB would be great.

[Teddite]

Just for kicks I searched "amazon" after reading above. 3 SB. Totally weird.

[shani_d_best]

I didn't get any sbs... for amazon.. :mad:

[sheriffabc]

But that is only worth $2!

[sheriffabc]

SOB - nor did I

[sheriffabc]

Try searching Lockerz - I just got 3!!

[sillysimms]

I didn't get any sbs... for amazon.. :mad:

Amazon didn't work for me either ... but I tried restaurant.com and got 3!

But that is only worth $2!

Really? I didn't look at the site in detail. I guess a $25 gift certificate doesn't really cost $25 then. If it really cost $25 I thought it was a great deal for 40SB. Thanks. Now I don't feel so bad that there are no participating Canadian restaurants:) Although at least searching using restaurant.com gave me 3SB so I'm happy!

[saint2e]

The "searching for Amazon" thing doesn't appear to be working anymore. I did get 1SB this morning already though.

[an0nymz]

Thanks scv for the link. Updated first post.

We really need to be more careful about posting randomized SwagCodes as real SwagCodes. The reason they're doing that is to track down people sharing the codes, I'm sure.

[loonie]

its hard to stop people from posting them, just dont use the code, thats the only thing we can do, but the good thing is when some people do post a unique code, we are alerted that there is a code out there and we start hunting :razz:

[angadkripa01]

umm im new to swagbucks..how many swagbucks do u get when u refer someone? do u get 100 swagbucks? cuz im confused...

It is hard to stop people from posting them since not everyone realizes they are unique codes. Just a reminder that we should be posting links only. Swagucks posted a message about this on their twitter page today:

http://twitter.com/SwagBucks
"Just a reminder, posting active codes is grounds for deactivation. Even on Twitter, you'll be deactivated for posting an active code."

umm im new to swagbucks..how many swagbucks do u get when u refer someone? do u get 100 swagbucks? cuz im confused...

You don't get 100 swagbucks just for referring them, but can get up to 100 as that person you referred earns their first 100 swagbucks. From swagbucks FAQ:

"This is a common misunderstanding concerning our referral program. You are not awarded 100 Swag Bucks any time a user joins using your referral link. Rather, you can earn up to 100 matching Bucks for the Swag Bucks your friend earns while searching."

http://www.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-faq

[houng]

Does anyone have a $5 Amazon.com GC right now? I just redeemed one and I'd like to use one as soon as possible, but they can take quite a while to get to you.

I was wondering if someone can give me a code and then once mine processes, I can give you back the code?

PLMK thanks

[ShineOn]

I use swagbucks all the time. For anyone who is new to swagbucks, you should get their toolbar. They offer new codes there every day, for the next month straight. :) Also, when searching, remember to do legitimate searches. If you don't, they may deactivate your account.

oh course you can stack amazon gcs, you apply each certificate to your account, I have accumulated 65 dollars in my acount through swagbucks and have 15 or 20 dollars more pending :)

Do you guys think it's better to get the paypal $5 for 70 sb or to get the $5 amazon.ca giftcards but then there costs in shipping for shopping on amazon so it's not really $5?

[loonie]

Do you guys think it's better to get the paypal $5 for 70 sb or to get the $5 amazon.ca giftcards but then there costs in shipping for shopping on amazon so it's not really $5?

but the paypal you have to use in 30 days so its kind of hard to stack it. also for amazon if you surpass a 39 dollar order, shipping is free, and it is hard to find something decent for less than 39

[deadice]

but the paypal you have to use in 30 days so its kind of hard to stack it. also for amazon if you surpass a 39 dollar order, shipping is free, and it is hard to find something decent for less than 39

Not true, you have 30 days to redeem the code and complete the transfer. Once it is in your account, you can keep it there forever. It does not expire. That being said, Amazon is a better deal.

Quote from swagbucks :

Once you receive the email from PayPal you have 30 days to claim your $5. After 30 days the PayPal expires and no Swag Bucks will be refunded.

[deadice]

If anyone does post a link to the toolbar code, be advised that swagbucks tracks your userid info in the link code.

http://hosting.conduit.com/Messages/?ct=CT2260173&msg_box_id=xmlxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everything after msg_box_id=xml is a unique identifiying code. they probably use that to try and track people leaking codes (hint to the guy who has a link in the code thread). It is ok to copy and paste everything until the last number of ?ct=CT2260173

Just an FYI.

[Spino]

Hah, thanks for the heads up. Better change it now then before it screws me over.

[madchives]

oh, yee ingenious anOnymz one

@MaddogMonty: Thanks for posting the link, but I've already put it in the original post. Don't need to repost that for every toolbar code from now on.

@ future toolbar code poster: Can you add something like "check link to toolbar code in first post" to your posts in the future?

Edit: and sorry for the false alarm, just thought this needed a wide announcement.

Thanks for the info deadice. Question for you and an0nymz - I haven't installed the toolbar, just kind of relied on others for those codes. I'm thinking the only safe way to share the fact that there is a code is to simply install it and then people can just say that there is a code there? There be no reason then for anyone to post a link and we wouldn't be breaking any TOS? Am I right about that? Just thinking out loud...lol...or through my fingers.

what I did is I installed the toolbar, took the link for it which I assume is somehow connected to my account, so it has a unique number after that msgid thing in the url, and then favorited that link, I then uninstalled the toolbar, but I may keep it for firefox...thanks for the heads up though deadice

[buddhababy]

I don't get it. Why do people not want to install the new toolbar? Given that they are going to be putting a code up there every day for the whole month, it seems like a lot of hoops to go through to not install it and try and get the codes other ways.

And while I'm at it, what is so wrong with just posting links to new codes (non-toolbar codes) as they ask? They don't mind posting links to codes, what's the difference, why this determination to post the actual codes? It's just one extra click.

does it matter if he posts the link?

if he posts the link we don't have to scroll up to your original post.

i don't see the problem?

and if you needed to post, you should have posted in this thread.
that thread is strictly for codes only... you should know that.
and i don't think your post needed an announcement at all.

would you like two posts for each toolbar code? One that says "there's a code" and in a few minutes, another one that says "here's the link"? Because that's the way it's been lately. I (and some others) have been reminding people of the link in the OP a few times in this discussion thread, but not many people read here (as you obviously haven't been following that discussion), so I need to make that announcement once and for all.

Not sure about why others don't like it, but some toolbars collect your personal info. There was some discussion about that Air Miles toolbar collecting stats on your searches and all (don't remember where I read it, may not be on RFD). What hoops, anyway? Can't we just use the link in the OP? That's a generic, non-identifying link, isn't it?

And while I'm at it, what is so wrong with just posting links to new codes (non-toolbar codes) as they ask? They don't mind posting links to codes, what's the difference, why this determination to post the actual codes? It's just one extra click.

Err... is there determination to post the actual codes? If there is, I'm not aware of it. Personally I'm fine with links, but people having this thread forwarded to their cellphone may prefer actual codes.

I am desperately looking for Amazon.com code amount ~$55. LMK if you are selling it.

[shani_d_best]

I personally think Lockerz.com is more beneficial than Swag bucks.. but I don't know why no one has said anything about it..
I guess may be coz its invite only website and is under beta right now..

It really depends, if you've got referrals on SB, you'll be getting more value than Lockerz. But on the other hand, if you're getting Sbucks solely through codes and searching then you're better off with Lockerz.

you guys can pm me or check out my blog if you want more info.

[an0nymz]

The code still works for me. I dont see a post with the link so here. If it s a repost, very sorry

http://hosting.conduit.com/Messages/?ct=CT2260173&msg_box_id=xxx!

*cries* Even mass email doesn't work?

Guys, please don't repost the link in a separate post. Either the code poster includes the link in their post, or you scroll up to the top for the link.

And archvenus14, you might want to remove that link, it has an identification code unique to your account, as deadice pointed out here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9380954&postcount=2546).

thats right... but for Lockerz u just login and answer a question... and get points.. and all the items are more cheaper over than then on Swagbucks..

but unlike Swagbucks, you don't get more points if someone u referred gets points..

it really depends... u r right..:)

there is a code on fragrancenet.com but I don't know where it is. There are clues on the blog.

Well an0nymz already has the toolbar link in his other post so you can use that. If you want to use the toolbar to find it though, you can do so by clicking the "From TSG" tab and then clicking "Message". It opens up the latest post from TSG. Apparently, the people on Firefox get the codes slower so its a major disadvantage in this case.

Yeah...I just checked again now and got the message. Thanks. I didn't see the message earlier which is why I posted but thanks for the tip about Firefox users getting the messages slower. I luckily did manage to still get the point.

They always been late on amazon.com gift cards for me, usually get it in 2.5 weeks.

In the other thread, I keep wondering why people have to post 'expired' when the original post says what time it's going to expire??:confused:

Old habits die hard =)

[sidseven]

Thanks. I was just going to post asking if anyone else has this problem. I keep seeing people post toolbar codes and I have nothing. I got the Labour day one, the next day.

I'm using Firefox too and even though the messages don't show up quickly, the link still works--you can just click on the word 'messages' at the top and it will take you to the code.

The SB zombies reporting ppl for posting codes on the Facebook fan page make me LOL.

So what happens if someone's not a SB member and posts codes? SB can't really do anything about that.

true, but who would post codes if they werent a member? what do they have to gain, but it sure would be good for everyone. the only disadvantage is that then eventually less codes would be offered, because just like swagcodes dot com, people will find another way to abuse the system...just my 2 cents

Odd...swidget says there's a code on the toolbar that expires at 5:30 PDT and the toolbar does give me a unique code from the one above but it tells me I've already entered the code.:confused:

It's the same code. Because of the toolbar issues, they decided to extend the code.

That wasn't posted on their site when I ordered the gift card on the 31st, they must have changed it recently. Now, lets see if we even get them on the 16th, I've always gotten my gift cards on the 12-14 business day of ordering so they're always late.

[doogle]

I did end up getting the gift card. I just saw a posting from a guy on facebook that got deactivated and as a result had 'denied' prizes. He said he wrote another email to swagbucks saying that his account had been re-activated and asked if they could re-verify his prizes, and they did. So maybe if you write in again you can get yours too.
Thanks for the tip, sidseven. Sent them an email a month ago, which was ignored. A second email yesterday did the trick. Second time two emails required to get a response.

I was debating on sunglasses, shoes, car stuff (light bulbs, license plate cover), clothes (Christian Audigier shirts, R&R jeans but sold out). So many things to pick from but recently I am a Gucci freak, I want everything Gucci.

Think about all the codes you're missing while you're waiting for a new-member code.

That's how I see it too. I think everybody automatically gets 3 SB as a bonus for signing up, at least that's how it was when I signed up. If you happen to sign up with a bonus code, you might get another 3 extra SB, but who knows when that code is going to come out, and some days you can get 3SB just from a few searches, so I don't think there's any point in waiting.

I'm trying to figure out what to spend my amazon.com money on too. There are many things that I would like to get, but either they don't ship to Canada or if they do, the shipping is equal or greater to the cost of my item, so it seems like a waste. A while back they were having some sales on Blu-Ray discs, and even with shipping it was cheaper than buying them in Canada. I've been trying to check their deal of the day and lightning deals more often, they often have some decent deals, so far nothing that I'm interested in though.

It's 45 points for $5 Amazon GC. You should redeem it right away just because Swagbuck sometimes ban people for no reason. The difference is one is Canadian and the other is American, buying from .com would mean expensive shipping cost but most of the good stuff are on .com and expect to pay customs.

[Nikita]

I order the .com ones because most survey sites that reward me with GC's only have the .com option. Did 2 a few weeks ago,each paid a $10 amazon.com e-GC, which by itself isn't enough for anything, so I'm just adding $5 ones from SB (have 3 so far, and about 1/2 way to a 4th).

[afireinside27]

I just use Amazon.ca since everything I want is on there, no need to pay extra for shipping/customs. I'm at $60 worth right now.

i'd say get the gift cards right away. who knows when swagbucks might decide to raise the prices for redemption. either way, i've had this account since about march i think, and i've redeemed 2 $10 starbucks cards, and $25 worth of amazon.ca gift cards. not bad at all. i might save up for a magazine subscription next though, they're not that pricey.

[efstuck]

Wow. I check red flag deals every day (Hot Deals) but I never checked this swagbucks thread that I posted. I can't believe it has gotten so big!!!

Anyways. I was going to add a tip ..maybe it's been mentioned but I am not browsing through all those pages!

You can create a seperate account and refer to your original account BUT you can not use the same address/name that you used in your original account. It will ban your secondary account when you try to redeem your swagbucks. This works well if you only use it for Amazon gift cards (like myself) because it doesn't matter the address..you're just getting gift card codes through email.

So make a secondary account - refer to your original - and use the secondary until you reach 2 amazon gift cards (90 points) and voila - you have $20 of gift cards instead of just $10.

Make another email, make another account, refer to original account and do it all over again!

Just remember to not use the same address/name or you will waste your time.

[an0nymz]

You can create a seperate account and refer to your original account BUT you can not use the same address/name that you used in your original account. It will ban your secondary account when you try to redeem your swagbucks.

They check your IP now (or so it seems), so having 2 accounts will still get you banned, unless you can log in from somewhere else with another IP.

if it hasn't been mentioned already, you can't combine the swagbucks from the other search sites to get prizes.. so there might not be much point for most people to get these other ones.

ref: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-faq

"I have the Swag Bucks to redeem a prize, but I'm being told that I don't have enough. What's going on?"
You can only redeem prizes on the site(s) where you've earned your Swag Bucks. If you've used multiple Swag Bucks-powered sites, you may want to visit the section titled "My Swag Bucks" in your account. There you can find a complete breakdown of your Swag Bucks account and how many Swag Bucks are available for you to spend, and on which particular site.


"Can I transfer Swag Bucks from one Search&Win site to another?"
Swag Bucks earned on one site cannot be used or transferred to another site. To ensure you are maximizing your Swag Bucks earnings, be sure to use the Search&Win site that has the prizes you want, at the best possible prices.

I think its because they see that your new so they give you a few extra points so you stay interested. Later on down the road you will only get 1-2SB per search and 2-3 wins per days.

[Justine]

If you get sb's through the hilary duff, linkin park, snoop dogg and all those other search sites, can you combine the sb's from those with the regular site? or do they have to stay separate?

[Bell Rep]

No, points earn from a particular site can only be used for that site.

[Justine]

Thanks, I just read it on the last page... that sucks. And it's also confusing cause I have like 50 some sb's now, but not really cause like 15 of those are from the other sites. :|

[jtcb]

No, points earn from a particular site can only be used for that site.

Are you saying you cant use the total points shown on the account to redeem stuff? Only points shown beside swagbucks.com can be used to redeem towards swagbucks.com stuff? If it is then that sucks.

[Bell Rep]

The total points shown are from all the site added together. It does suck but what can you do. Just use those bucks for the 100SB contest.

[joostin]

Be sure to check the link posted in the other thread for slickdealsforums. There are a potential 15 SBs from those search and win sites/codes!

[joostin]

Just to state what has already been said above. The codes for soandsosearch.com are only redeemable via those account pages. You can use each one for entries into the weekly swagbucks draws for 100.

[ryokinshin]

I got 15 emails yesterday? Don't need that bs from idiots.

[Lone_Prodigy]

I couldn't enter the New Orleans Saints or Todd's Gearbag sweepstakes.

[an0nymz]

I couldn't enter the New Orleans Saints or Todd's Gearbag sweepstakes.

I would think twice about trying to enter all those bonus codes...

won't your account look suspicious to Swag people if you get all these codes from various sources all of a sudden?

It's not worth the risk, it's very unlikely that you'll win the swagstakes anyway.

[flexwong]

awesome! i just won 3SB from a search =D

this is the first time i've won something slightly larger from megaswagbucks day since i got 10 like, 5 months ago lol.

[RiCHC3]

awesome! i just won 3SB from a search =D

this is the first time i've won something slightly larger from megaswagbucks day since i got 10 like, 5 months ago lol.

Almost the exact same situation with me.
Got 3 yesterday, 10 like a few months ago, but 1's all over the place.

[MaddogMonty]

What the **** is this ****? The exact same thing? Really?

[basketball]

I ordered a Amazon GC last Tuesday (22nd), From what I read, you get it under "My Gift Cards" in swagbucks rite?

anyone know how long it takes to appear?
btw, I verified it too and it shows as verified in the Orders.
------------------------------------------------------------
nvm, found it at the bottom of the search for this thread

[deadice]

as it says when you ordered it, it gets posted on the 1st and 16th of each month.

OMFG. THE AMAZON GIFTCARDS...can only be redeem by swagbucks.com swagbucks..

so all those swagbucks from kanye, hillary duff etc.. don't count towards the giftcard.. soo efing gay.

Right, you have to collect those site specific ones separately. I just entered most of those into the sweepstakes, they are no good to me.

What do you guys mean? I got all of them and they went into my regular swagbucks account and I just ordered an amazon GC with the exact 45 SB I had, 5 of which were from those other sites.

[sillysimms]

Didn't work for me. For example if I had 100 SB total and 5 of them were from the other sites, if I clicked on a regular swagbucks prize that you needed 100SB for, it would say that I needed another 5 SB to get the prize. I had to use the ones from the other sites for the swagstakes on those sites.


I couldn't enter the New Orleans Saints or Todd's Gearbag sweepstakes.

I can't either. Won't even let me redeem those on the respective sites for the swagstakes.

GIFT CODES ARE POSTED ON YOUR ACCOUNT PROFILE, UNDER "My Gift Cards" ON THE 1st & 16th OF EACH MONTH.

I ordered mine about a week ago and Oct 1st is almost over. Still no gift cards.



On a completely different topic, is there anyway to increase the rate in which emails are sent when you subscribe to a forum on RFDs? I'm subscribed to the Swagcode forum and I often miss codes because I'm never emailed. Most of the time this happens because someone posts "expired" (so stupid) and thats the only message I get emailed to me all day. Is there a way to make sure all new posts get delivered via email?

You only receive the additional subscribed thread posts if you visit the forum again.

Note from the bottom of subscribed thread emails:
There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

[flexwong]

same situation with me, i ordered 5 gift cards over a week ago and nothing posted yet. :(

[Justine]

What do you guys mean? I got all of them and they went into my regular swagbucks account and I just ordered an amazon GC with the exact 45 SB I had, 5 of which were from those other sites.

I don't know how that worked for you, cause, if I have 40 and 5 from hilary duff let's say, I can't get an amazon gc on the regular swagucks.com site, it has to be 45 from each one. For this reason, I stopped collecting the site specific codes.

No gift cards were added to my account tonight either. I liked it much better when you didn't have to wait for the 1st and 16th to get your cards redeemed, they just added them to your account when you requested them.

[melaine]

Agree! I did not get my orders on October 1 either. I have saved up $45 worth of points to buy a wii resort on amazon.ca.

Have to wait until 16th.

[attitude21]

I ordered one on the 25th, and didn't get anything yesterday either.

I meant to update this but completely forgot, thanks for the reminder. I did get an email from SB a few hours later telling me that (paraphrasing) the redemption went through by a mistake on the site (??) and that I needed 5more to get my GC :(. Oh well, got them now. Guess I'll use those codes to do what someone else mentioned, enter contests with them.

Anyway, for anyone who is collecting site specific codes, there one on the Hillary Duff toolbar (the one I installed that night before a very helpful user explained how to get the codes without d/l every toolbar).

HILARYFANS10BSL1r
1 SB
Doesn't say how long it's good for.

Is there any risk to putting 500+ points into Amazon gift certificates all at once? I figured it might be time to finally spend some points.

I got mine this afternoon.

I can never say this enough, stop posting on the @&$*^#@(*%&#ing code page. No one cares if you can't read, don't know what a widget is, toolbar is or w/e personal problems you are having.

Go it.

[loonie]

got a couple of mine, still one not yet, and i won 4 bucks today! wow most i ever got at once!

[flexwong]

got all 5 of my gift cards today, awesome. also won 4SB from a search =D

[an0nymz]

Sorry, apparently it's user specific, which I didn't realize till someone else pointed it out to me. You'll have to d/l the toolbar I guess to a code.

Swidget says there's a code out right now in the SB newsletter, which I haven't received today even though I'm signed up. Can anybody help? Anyone get the newsletter today?

:arrowu: I did get that one yesterday, the fact that it's still coming up on the swidget made me think there was another one out today. Something similar happened with the Hillary Duff toolbar code that was out yesterday. My toolbar was showing a new message today, but the word I got and entered was already entered yesterday, so I don't know why it was showing that I even had a message showing today....wierd.


Nikita, that thread is for codes only. Please keep your questions, explanations and other comments here, or in the off-topic forum.

In case you didn't notice, the second quote WAS a code notice. When someone asks a question to me in that thread, it gets really confusing to answer it in another thread. I'm as much as a user as your are, meaning you don't make the rules, nor am I obligated to blindly do whatever someone tells me to do in any particular thread.

But to appease you, I won't post anymore codes or notices in the thread, I'll PM them to certain people so as to not ruffle your feathers k?;)

sheesh, jus put codes, notices and epired messages, if someone asks a question, and if it is not important, ignore it, or just pm them a reply...its muchh easier if you reply to a question directed to you by pming the user asking it because many poeple on rfd think a code is out when someone replies...

[jtcb]

Some people even pm and calling me jackass for posting question on that "code only" thread.

[blahs]

please don't make a post just saying "expired" when the first person that posted the code already put the expiry date and time

Thanks for the suggestion but I've already said what I'm goint to do.

BTW...sheesh...did you miss the part of my thread that did post a code notice? Or other post where I already pointed that out?

please don't make a post just saying "expired" when the first person that posted the code already put the expiry date and time

+1, I've asked this before but of course nobody answered it. If the expiry time of a code is listed, why are people making posts saying 'expired'?. I can tell time, I get those alerts too, they're a waste of my time...don't see me whining about it. Nor do you see the anyone else getting called out on a useless post that's not called for in that thread, but belongs here.

[MaddogMonty]

Yes you do.

[Nikita]

Yes you do.

In case you missed it my 'useless posts' was modifying the 'expired' posts. Since they continue to be posted in the other thread, you might want to actually answer on point, where have those useless 'expired' posters been called out?

[an0nymz]

In case you didn't notice, the second quote WAS a code notice.

Well, you had already used the code from the newsletter, and those newsletters don't come out often, so they must be the same code... Anyway, my point was your follow-up posts.

I'm as much as a user as your are, meaning you don't make the rules, nor am I obligated to blindly do whatever someone tells me to do in any particular thread.

Right, nobody can force you, but the whole thread will collapse if everybody plays by their own rules and post random messages. By keeping to the "rules", we have an efficient system of announcing new codes without having to constantly refresh and check the thread. That is, unless you live on RFD 24/7 ...in which case there's no benefit to you in having the email subscription and keeping the thread clean.

But to appease you, I won't post anymore codes or notices in the thread, I'll PM them to certain people so as to not ruffle your feathers k?;)

Entirely up to you. If you don't like the way this thread is run, you can make your own Swag code thread where people post whatever they like and see how that works out.

+1, I've asked this before but of course nobody answered it. If the expiry time of a code is listed, why are people making posts saying 'expired'?

That's because there's no answer to that question. I don't know the exact number, but there are A LOT of subscribers to that thread. And not many people read the OP so it's hard to change the system - people just post "expired" because they've got used to that from the start.

where have those useless 'expired' posters been called out?

They weren't useless back when the thread was started. There used to be lots of codes without exact expiry time ("valid for the first 1000 users", etc.), so back then the "expired" was necessary. Now... like I said, it's hard to enforce new rules, especially when some people still have problems with keeping to the old rules...

No answer to that question? How about the same answer I got? Posting 'expired' when the time for expiry has already been posted is 'inefficient' as well. You seem to have no compunction about enforcing your rules for some, but not for others. When you're selective like that it makes some (me for example), a little less interested in following them. Consistency just might get you the results you want.

what u say makes sense but as a deal fanatic and nominated as a favorite, you should be following the rules as best u can even if others dont, because most people who post useless stuff on that thread are relatively new to the site, and will eventually learn, imo

The difference is that posting "expired" is allowed by the current rules. Read the OP.

[Nikita]

The difference is that posting "expired" is allowed by the current rules. Read the OP.

The point being it's superfluous and shouldn't be allowed by the rules if your goal is truly what you say it is...to not clutter up the thread with anything other than codes. Perhaps it didn't occur to you when you made the rules, and perhaps it's time to change them if you're going to tell one user anything except posting codes is wrong yet allow others to post stuff other than codes. Like I said, consistency is best if you want your rules followed and/or respected.

[an0nymz]

Perhaps it didn't occur to you when you made the rules,

I don't think you read my answer. It was necessary when I started the thread.

and perhaps it's time to change them if you're going to tell one user anything except posting codes is wrong yet allow others to post stuff other than codes.

Yes, maybe it's time to change, but I doubt that it's possible. There was a time when a code was posted and expired, and nobody posted "expired" until 3 days later or something. But we can try and see how things turn out...
*edit* Done. See OP.

Still, the fact remains that "expired" is more on-topic than carrying on a conversation in that thread.

Like I said, consistency is best if you want your rules followed and/or respected.

But I am still being consistent with the current rules (*edit* before I made the change just now)! Think before you make an argument.

You should think. If your goal is 'codes only', then allowing anything, even 'expired' is NOT consistent with your goal or the purpose of your rules. C'mon Anonymouse, you can't have it both ways. If you want codes only, then change your rules to be consistent to that goal. Else don't expect people to have respect for rules that don't meet your stated goal as anything but whimsical.

The goal is not code only, but code-related only, which includes new codes, code hint alerts, and code expiry updates. You can see that in the thread title ("Swagbucks Subscription ***POST ONLY NEW CODE / ALERT / EXPIRY*** don't say thanks!") if you won't/can't read the OP. Expiry posts were never ruled out. The goal is all code-related issues, what we don't care about is what you find weird about the widget or the toolbar, etc.

Oh I understand very well. I understand that your rules are internally inconsistent, I've pointed out how many times, YOU seem determined not to understand, but I think it's really just that you can't bring yourself to admit the internal inconsistency in your rules.

BTW, 'code expiry updates' ...they're not updates when the code time has been posted with the code. They're only updates if the expiry time changes, which it doesn't ever. Sounds like you're reaching.

Because of your stubborness in seeing that you just may have a problem with the way you set this up and are running it, we're going around in circles. I personally have no interest in beating a dead horse, so unless you can explain how your rules make sense and aren't simply arbitrary based on what YOU like, there's really nothing left to say. Just keep in mind, you may have started this thread, and you may have posted rules, but you really have no authority to enforce them. If you want cooperation you might try listening to others' input instead of digging in your heels and refusing to even consider other POV's.

Aren't you getting a bit technical? Anyway, I found the expiry update rules to be understandable. Beside, since I've started reading that thread, I have seen the expiry time change once or twice. Not as much but it did. Also, swagbucks used to have codes that have limited amount of people. I'm sure some people remember those 'facebook5k' where only the first 5000 people could get the 1 swagbucks. So having people post 'expired' in that post was definitely useful for people.

anonymz is correct here. there is a system in place, for a reason. it's a free country, don't like it LEAVE! Go make your own thread as previously stated and go have your own way of doing it. the way anonymz has the code thread setup always has been very good. and now with the OP being updated, the only thing stopping the thread from becoming even better are users like you.

eeee onk, eeee onk !!!

There is a system in place made by a user, not the mods or anybody with any authority to make or enforce rules. The system was internally inconsistent else why would he have changed it in according to the common sense suggestion of mine, if he was correct? I really don't know why anonymz got so bent out of shape at my suggesting something that might make it more consistent with his stated goal, or simply make it more effective, but if I have a suggestion, this is a free country after all right (what that has to do with anything is beyond me, this is a private website and has nothing to do with us being in a free country...but w/e...:rolleyes:), I will speak my mind as well as you or anybody else.

The way anonymz set it up obviously hasn't been very good, else he wouldn't have changed it accordingly. "..and now with the OP being updated, the only thing stopping the thread from becoming even better are users like you"...shows me you have no clue what you're talking about since it was updated because of me, and others who voiced the same suggestion. So, apparently it's users like me who have helped the thread become better.

As to your last line, it makes me wonder why I even responded to an obvious child...:rolleyes:.

[maidennomore]

The point being it's superfluous and shouldn't be allowed by the rules if your goal is truly what you say it is...to not clutter up the thread with anything other than codes. Perhaps it didn't occur to you when you made the rules, and perhaps it's time to change them if you're going to tell one user anything except posting codes is wrong yet allow others to post stuff other than codes. Like I said, consistency is best if you want your rules followed and/or respected.

:cheesygri: You hit the nail on the head.

[an0nymz]

It's not like that suggestion (not posting "expired") hasn't occurred to me before. But to enforce a new rule takes effort -- it's not like I can post up a new rule in the OP and everybody will stop posting "expired", as evidently in the code thread right now. There's work involved when introducing a new rule: we have to remind people, either via PM or in this thread. I don't have to do this, I don't have to maintain that thread, but I do that for free. And you seem to take that work for granted.

I am open to suggestions, but I'm weary of introducing new rules because either people don't notice the updated OP or they know the rules but intentionally not follow them.

Let me recap this whole situation for people who haven't followed this thread.

Nikita posted something in the code thread that did not belong there. And this was not the first time. Her previous off-topic post generated some reaction (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/swagbucks-free-gift-cards-other-prizes-689380/164/#post9296272) in this thread and was quoted here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/swagbucks-free-gift-cards-other-prizes-689380/164/#post9296753). But back then we all assumed that she was new to the thread and not yet used to the system, so it was an honest mistake and soon she would learn.

But then her last few posts in the code thread made it obvious that she did not know or would not follow the rules of the thread (no off-topic discussion). So I posted a reminder in this thread. Then someone suggested adding "no expired posts" to the rules, and Nikita started complaining that the people posting "expired" were not "called out", and that I was being inconsistent with my own rules for calling her out on her off-topic posts and not the "expired" posters.

When I pointed out to her that expiry posts had always been allowed by the thread rules, she changed her tune and said my rules were "internally inconsistent" (not me being inconsistent in enforcing my rules anymore). Of course you are entitled to your opinions, but please be aware that these are your personal opinions, not facts, do not treat them as facts and do not assume everybody else feels the same way.

Now, the rules may not be up-to-date with the way SwagBucks codes have been given out recently, but these rules made sense in the past when there were a lot of codes that did not have specific expiry time. If you tell me to update the rules to match the current situation, fine, that's helpful, even better if you could word that nicely, but again, keep in mind that there is work involved in enforcing new rules -- case in point: dealing with people like Nikita. But don't start bickering just because I called you out on repeatedly posting off-topic posts and you just want to get back at me for that.

I won't say any more on this topic.

Dear God, Nikita. Just stop posting in the codes thread unless you have a code or are saying one has expired. No one else has had trouble grasping this concept save for you and a few newbies. THIS thread exists for your questions and comments on the matter. Clogging up everyone's inbox just pisses people off.

Now drop the subject and get back on topic.

[loonie]

thanks sidseven :razz:

[JCareyB]

the title on the notice thread still talks about posting expiry notices. apparently there are new rules that would eliminate this if the expiry is posted along with the notice (a good change). it would be good to change the "title"

*puts flame suit on*

[an0nymz]

Another user also PM'ed me about this as well, but there are still codes that do not have expiry time (like FaceBook1k or something like that, for the first 1000 users), so expiry posts are still allowed and necessary in some cases. Any idea how to condense all that into the title?

And as we speak, there's an "expired" post in the code thread. See what I mean about the trouble of enforcing new rules? Even though sidseven pointed that out in his post, people don't read...

expired

So much for adhering to the new rule. :razz: The funny part is, archvenus quoted the new rule in the reply yet still felt the need to "break it".

[an0nymz]

So much for adhering to the new rule. :razz:

Yup, I felt that this rule is impossible to enforce, that's why I was hesitant to include it. It doesn't matter if 90% of the subscribers know the rule, because somewhere down the line one person of the remaining 10% will post "expired"... But I guess we'll leave it there and see how things turn out.

[LoneI2anger]

wtf he even quotes it first too...

[magicflakes]

Do we really need the "expired" posts? I know when I get the emails, I just put the code into swagbucks. If it is valid, it's really unnecessary to get the expired emails. If they're expired, it doesn't save that much time to try it as opposed to checking this thread.

[an0nymz]

Do we really need the "expired" posts?

err... you must have missed the recent, um, events. No, we don't need expiry posts (for codes with expiry times), but the problem is how to get rid of them.

I know when I get the emails, I just put the code into swagbucks. If it is valid, it's really unnecessary to get the expired emails. If they're expired, it doesn't save that much time to try it as opposed to checking this thread.

I wouldn't recommend that. You should verify that the code exists first -- there's been a few incidents of bogus codes being posted. That, and trying several expired codes in succession, may just get your account banned because they're clear indications that you're using sites like this =)

[NikyK]

Hi, Folks! Does anyone have any issues with the swagbucks toolbar? I had mine installed for a month now and it totally disappeared from Firefox! I uninstalled and re-installed and it still doesn't show up. I also have it enable under view toolbars and have a check mark for the swagbucks one. I also updated Firefox to the latest version, Nothing..

Anyone know how to fixe this? Thanks. :confused:

[sidseven]

I feel the same way. I would be fine with not having ANY expired posts at all in that thread, even for those codes that are only for the first 500 people or codes that have no stated expiry date.

If I end up entering a few more expired codes in exchange for not receiving any 'expired' post emails, it's fine with me. Also, sometimes even though swagbucks says the code will expire at a certain time, and I know I've passed the time, I'll enter it anyway, just to see, since on rare occasions they have forgotten to deactivate codes. I think other people do this too, so I think swagbucks probably gets a lot of people entering expired codes, so I don't think it's going to alert them to anything, and since ~90% of the codes DO have expiry dates, most people will not be entering in expired codes all the time.

Sometimes people post 'expired' and the code isn't even expired, so I figure it's best to find out for yourself if it's expired or not. If I think about all the 'expired' posts I have received in my email, the percentage of those posts that I have been glad to receive is less than 1%.

The 'expired' posts also screw up the people who don't get a chance to log into RFD before the next code-- so they receive a useless 'expired' message but miss out on a code alert.

Also maybe if 'EXPIRY' was removed from the thread title, people would take more notice to not post 'expired' there? I know it's been changed to 'if necessary', but complete removal of the word might help.

Maybe we could start posting 'expired' in this discussion thread, if people think it's necessary to post it somewhere.

I know it's hard to enforce rules, and everyone doesn't agree with the all the rules or read them or follow them, and but all we can do is just try and see how it goes.

[an0nymz]

@sidseven: The only problem I see with that is, if you're away from the computer for a while and come back to try several expired codes repeatedly, your account may get flagged because it's obvious you're typing in codes from a source. But if enough people want to try this, we can remove the EXPIRY part and see what happens.

That's not to say things will work out that way, as you know. I expect to see a few "expired" posts for each code now, because the first expiry poster gets a PM and removes his/her post, then the next person comes along and posts another "expired", etc., like yesterday.

[sidseven]

There is generally (I know, not always) only one active code going at any time, so if I'm away for the computer for a while, I know just to check the last post. So I don't think people would be entering in all the codes that they have missed while on vacation or something like that. I think most people know better than that, and if they are new to the system, they will catch on after a few codes that they are generally only out for a few hours, and not to bother trying every single code that they missed. We could add that info to the OP, since the new people might be more likely to read it before they sign up. If people sign up for the notification thread and don't even bother reading how it works, and end up entering every single expired code in that thread and get their account flagged-- it's not our problem. Also, that thread has been maintained pretty well, old posts get deleted in a timely fashion, so even if somebody did try and enter all the codes in that thread, there usually aren't too many in there to go through-- it's probably not even enough to look too suspicious, unless you're doing it all the time-- which you really shouldn't be if you know how the codes work.

Also, most of the people that post codes are now giving expiry dates along with the code, so it should be clear that the code is expired. For the few codes that don't have expiry dates, too bad. We can't worry about everything. I would rather have the small annoyance of entering an expired code every once in a while than the greater annoyance of all those 'expired' posts.

And, yes, I also still expect to see 'expired' posts, but now I have hope that they will someday stop :); before, there was no chance.

[an0nymz]

@sidseven: How about this, leave the rules as is but make the title "Code-related only" instead of mentioning "code / alert / expiry"? That would avoid the focus on expiry, and if someone is new to the thread they'd have to read the OP to find out what "code-related" means and when to post expiry notice and when not to.

How about something like "CODE NOTIFICATION ONLY---NO DISCUSSION!!!"

I worry that someone will see "code-related" and think that is the place for people to discuss codes, even though it says NO DISCUSSION.

Re: Firefox Toolbar-- on the facebook thread there were some people who also are having the same problem.

[sillysimms]

Same here mine disappeared and I tried several times to get it back on but now I'm just fed up and uninstalled it.

I may sound dumb, but how do I uninstall it? What is it listed under. I can't find it under programs at all, although I see another toolbar listed, so I assume it should be there to let me uninstall it? Thanks.

[an0nymz]

How about something like "CODE NOTIFICATION ONLY---NO DISCUSSION!!!"

Some people might think that means only notify about actual codes, not code hints (I have received rude PMs claiming that code hints were not allowed :|). How about "CODE-RELATED NOTIFICATION ONLY---NO DISCUSSION/THANKING", if the character limit permits...

Re:toolbar -- is it in Add/Remove Programs? Or Firefox Add-ons? I don't have it installed so I don't know for sure, but those are the usual places.

[Nikita]

The 'expired' posts also screw up the people who don't get a chance to log into RFD before the next code-- so they receive a useless 'expired' message but miss out on a code alert.



This is an excellent point sidseven! One I hadn't even thought of even though I've been harping (yeah I'll admit to harping) on the 'expired' posts all along.

Also, most of the people that post codes are now giving expiry dates along with the code, so it should be clear that the code is expired. For the few codes that don't have expiry dates, too bad. We can't worry about everything. I would rather have the small annoyance of entering an expired code every once in a while than the greater annoyance of all those 'expired' posts.

And, yes, I also still expect to see 'expired' posts, but now I have hope that they will someday stop :); before, there was no chance.

Now that was my complaint all along. What possible reason is there to post 'expired' when the poster who posted the code/code alert has included the expiry date? (Seriously, for those of you who feel compelled to do so, could someone explain their reason(s) for doing so?)

I don't agree with your second sentence however. As stated above my beef has always been the uselessness of posting 'expired' when the expiry time was already posted, I mean c'mon we can all read and tell time. However, IF the expiry time hasn't been posted, I have no problem with 'expired' posts and can see how they can be useful. Put that 'uselessness' together with your excellent point above of missing code alerts after getting a 'expired' alert unless you sign in to RFD and, try as I might, I can't for the life of me understand why people feel compelled to do so.

Anyway, I'm glad to see the change, it makes sense and, even though I do understand that there will always be some who will break the rules anyway, I do expect we'll see a lot less of those 'expired' posts. In fact sidseven's point might make people realize how they could screw themselves out of code alerts by posting 'expired' (except perhaps for those people who are just on RFD 24/7).

Just a suggestion an0nymz, and it may be moot because I haven't gone back to the OP to check, but if you haven't already done so, you might want to indicate in the title that the OP has been updated so that people who don't come into this thread have a better chance of being made aware of the change.

Thanks any0nymz for listening and making the change in spite of our not so kind words about this issue. I really do appreciate your co-operation on this issue....even if it took forever and some fighting to get it....lol, j/k...;)

[moxy]

I don't think anything you can do will make everyone happy. Remember the past post that says expires at 7pm... and then at 7:15 a post pops up saying "there is no code".

I get the same thing at work every day. When you tell people they get mad at you when they were the ones that didn't read.

[Justine]

I am glad that the other sb thread on here isn't full of blabber like this one.

That sounds good :) Thanks for all the work you do in managing the thread and all the rude PMs that come along with the job :)

On the Facebook status update it says they are aware of the toolbar problem and they will not be releasing a code on the toolbar today.

[an0nymz]

sidseven and I have been discussing the wording of the title. I'll see if I can squeeze in the "rule updated" part, but I doubt that fits into the title. I've already hit the character limit.

Thanks any0nymz for listening and making the change in spite of our not so kind words about this issue. I really do appreciate your co-operation on this issue....even if it took forever and some fighting to get it....lol, j/k...;)

Glad to see we've put that behind us. Just for the record I never said your suggestion was a bad idea. In a perfect world that's how the system should be and I was aware of that before you brought it up, but the problem was that it's darn near impossible to put that into effect as everybody has to know and follow the new rule.

I don't think anything you can do will make everyone happy.

lol, I know! And then from time to time, I get yelled at too. ;)

Remember the past post that says expires at 7pm... and then at 7:15 a post pops up saying "there is no code".

That has BestOffer written all over it.

"Blabber"? What are you talking about? This is the discussion thread. And we're talking about how to make the thread better. :mad:

[an0nymz]

Ok, I updated the title of the other thread, and added "don't post expired" to the standard code posts for widget/toolbar. If code posters use these standard posts (and people read them), we should do fine... *fingers crossed* (but that's a big IF).

[madchives]

well, anOnymz, thanks for doing what you do,,, :D

Hi guys,

I posted "expired" on the thread by mistake. I am sorry about that and realise that it would have caused inconvinience for some people. I hadnt read the rules and wasnt aware of that. It was an honest mistake and could happen to anyone.

What i am really not liking is the abusive PMs I am receiving because of that. I ignored a couple but this one really got to me. It was jus a post and I dont see why people should take it so seriously and be this mean. I am not justifying what I did. It was a mistake and I admit it but I dont believe I deserve to be treated like this just on that account.

Is it just me or does the recent winners on swagbucks when you search show that its been 9-10 hours since the last swagbuck was given out???

and is it just me or did the stuff a bunch of sponsors on top of the search list?

The main use for SB for me is to quickly search gmail and it's the first
but now.. it's like 5th or 6th.. and searching for Bloomberg Futures will get searches from ebay with the same title as the official site..gets annoying :(

Same here; seems like the search only shows the winner from the last 9 to 10 hours ago.

[Bell Rep]

sorry about the alarm but worth a try...

i emailed SB saying that i want them to help me remove the non-swagbucks.com bucks from my account as they are confusing and i have to re-enter to my accounts page for the 'actual' bucks yesterday night and this morning, they replied back:

You should have posted here, that will make some people mad.

I have a WWE buck that can't be used for anything unless I have 30SB for a prize there, so I emailed them and see what they say. I just want it removed.

There is no need for anyone to make rude comments either in the threads or through the Private Messaging system simply because someone makes a posting mistake. The Swagcode subscription-only thread is bound to end up with the occasional wrong post in it despite the "rules" description in the first post.

Users who send rude PM's will be given infractions as well, just as they are given out when inappropriate messages are posted in the forums.
Please report abusive messages to myself or any of the other mods.

That's only because of the game that you play when you first join. From now on you'll be making 2 ptz a day + # of people you refer x 2.

However, if you make it to the Z-list the points start adding up much quicker.

Hi, I know I don't post very often on the boards. I am a big SwagBucks fan. But I dont want to be a party pooper. But I'm not sure that you are aware of the Swag rules. It is a against the rules to post any codes at all. They will automatically ban you if they find you (I won't tell I promise), just want to warn you. Also the codes are different for everyone to keep fraud down.

For example I look at Twitter and I receive code ABC123
And you look at Twitter you will get code ABC125

They will never be the same.

It is alright to post hints in where to find the Swag Codes

For example (Swagcode on blog, twitter, swidget, FB, toolbar)

If you use Twitter, follow TattooAstronomy and his Blog and he updates when codes are out and then he shows breakdowns of the codes after they have expired. Also on his blog he give the total lowdown on how to work Swagbucks to your full advantage.

I hope this helps everyone, I just want to look out for my friends. :razz:

Just enter it into the swagcode box. It's just like any other code. When they say enter in any search and win site, they mean that you can use it on all swagbucks.com sites, so you could use it on one of those affiliated sites, like Hillary Duff swagbucks search site, or whatever.

well lockerz is pretty good, but im just wondering wether its worth redeeming for a big prize or just an amazon card, im worried because i know customs fees will be huge even if they mark it as gift

I thought they only had Amazon.COM gift cards? Or did you want the .COM ones?

That's only because of the game that you play when you first join. From now on you'll be making 2 ptz a day + # of people you refer x 2.

However, if you make it to the Z-list the points start adding up much quicker.

Apparently, once the site launches this month it'll still be in beta mode but they mentioned that the points values would change (go down) but I am wondering whether to save up or just redeem in 2 days for a game. What do you guys think?

[loonie]

No I want .ca ones, if I order a ps3 for example from amazon.COM to canada, wont I be charged customs and duty and all that stuff?

[Bell Rep]

I have bought a lot of stuff from amazon.com and never been charged duty. However they will NOT ship electronics to Canada!!

i missed all the codes so far.. been travellin all day :(

[Bell Rep]

I have bought a lot of stuff from amazon.com and never been charged duty. However they will NOT ship electronics to Canada!!

What did you buy and how much was it? because I bought a couple of items before like recently it was a pair of sunglasses and I bought it for $120USD including shipping and got charged $35CDN customs and once I bought a oil drain valve for $30USD and didn't get charged customs, it all depends of price because as you know most item that are marked as "gift" and valued under $60 don't normally get charged customs.

I really can't remember. I had won a $5000us gift certificate to amazon.com a few years back, so I didn't really worry about price. But I do know that they wouldn't ship electronics. And I was never charged customs.

I understand, but according to swagbucks rules you can be deactivated for posting the code. At work, I don't have access to facebook/twitter either (except by cell) and understand what you're saying. I use the same username here as on swagbucks and am not going to risk being deactivated as their rules are very clear.

If someone else wants to post the code that's fine, but for me I will either post a link or not post anything at all. There are times I have posted a 10 minute twitter code when no one else has as I get them sent directly to my cell. Trying to help, but I'm not going to risk deactivation (which does happen) so I will either post a link, or post nothing at all.

How do you receive code alert by cell? Do I have to be a member and do I get charged for incoming text?

[sillysimms]

How do you receive code alert by cell? Do I have to be a member and do I get charged for incoming text?

If you're asking about twitter - yes, you have to have a twitter account and sign up to follow swagbucks:

http://twitter.com/SwagBucks

You can then set up to receive their messages via you cell phone. As per charges, you have to check with your cellular carrier. I'm with Telus and there is no charge since I have a text plan and it is treated as a regular incoming message. With no text plan, I would be charged the fee for a regular incoming message.

Edit to add: If you do that, you won't get all of swagbucks codes via cell - only the ones they post on twitter.

[secol]

damn that doyers code is weird.....doesn't say it's timed out or anything, almost as if it wasn't a code except when i went to the baseball comments it's right there....weird

[flexwong]

lately i've been getting bigger amounts with my searches, and it's not even a megaswagbuck day. 2 days ago i searched and got 3 and i've gotten a couple of 2's in the past week. quite awesome. and all those codes were amazing as well, too bad i wasn't even close to snagging all 40+ sb available.

@chris- i think the code you're talking about is the newsletter code which doesn't expire until sometime today?

Did you ever notice that you get points when you search for the same thingÉ I went looking for Toronto Blue Jays and got points so that is how I get points almost daily by searching for the Blue Jays. Today I got 5.

I usually get 2 swagbucks from searching a day. The event usually happens 6 hours in between. Even after searching 100+ times, there will probably be no surprise. How many swagbucks do you get a day??

[angadkripa01]

i wish they could add subway or mcdonalds gift cards,they would work for both Canadians and Americans..i think they used to have Subway cards..ima email swagbucks to suggest the idea.

[maniackjr]

Interesting info, swagbucks is owned by prodege.

http://www.prodege.com

They make their money by advertising ads.
And they don't take too kindly to spamming searches. 100+ searches does not
guarantee swagbucks, and you'll be warned.

ya the odd time my email notification is late. sometimes it also sends me a few notifications when one or no new posts are made, was that because of the OP editing thread?

[rebjorne]

This may be somewhat of an odd propostion, but I was wondering if anyone has $10 of Amazon.com codes that they can "lend" me?

The item that I wanted to order just came back in stock today (there's 1 left!) and I didn't redeem for the gift codes before the 30th. Since Swagbucks only fulfill the gift code orders on the 16th and 30th, I won't be able to get the codes until Nov. 16th, which will be too late for me.

If anyone is able to give me two $5 codes now, I promise I'll give them back 2 codes on Nov. 16th...

[Nikita]

From the Codes only thread:

(*) NEW RULE: don't post "expired" if the code post already states expiry time.

Amazone.com is American, so it depends if the question relates to Amazon.com or Amazon.ca, in which case you're correct, GCs are not supposed to expire. That said, I can only say that with certainty with GCs bought in-store, I'm not sure if that applies to online GCs. I would expect so, but you'd have to check the legislation to find out for sure (or google it).

[buddhababy]

Expiration dates do not apply for Gift Certificates issued in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, New Bruswick or any other jurisdiction solely to the extent as prohibited or limited by law.

[saint2e]

The fact that it was posted on Oct. 23rd should've made it obvious to folks that it was expired. Needless expiry post.

RE: SPECIAL OFFERS CODE

This is an on-going code. Every week there will be a new code in the Special Offers section. This was announced in the blog.

http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-special-offers

I think we need a new rule, or at least maybe the first post can be updated to explain about the SPECIAL OFFERS section code, and if necessary, maybe someone should out a reply in that thread to notify everyone that it's an ongoing code, since some people don't read the OP.

[madchives]

well, about this special offer code thingy:
apparently TSG tweeted and said that this one
"will be live for a few days at least."

sighing, i guess we will be seeing more of
"it still works", oh no,,,,,,,,,,:eek::eek::eek:
not so sure i can take it.

[wildlele]

did it ever occur to u, even once in ur life.. that THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT???! :mad:

STOP being rude to people! its not acceptable! under any circumstances and that includes PMing rude comments!

Stop harassing me.

[Nikita]

Stop harassing me.

HA! Three words...pot...kettle...black...;)

[an0nymz]

I think we need a new rule, or at least maybe the first post can be updated to explain about the SPECIAL OFFERS section code

Um... the system has always been that a code is still valid unless stated otherwise, either in the code post or a follow-up expiry post. I don't see how these long-lasting special offer codes should be any different. Considering how often people read the OP (and by that I mean hardly ever), I'd rather not change anything unless the situation gets out of hand.

[attitude21]

1. I am a he
2. My latest message was hardly rude. Sarcastic would have been acceptable but rude I cannot accept.
3. People need to read.
4. I feel disrespected when people post expired despite the post clearly stating the expiry time.
5. Even if you cannot tell time and feel the need to post expired... most people can keep time so keep it to yourself.
6. That is all.



Since the PM in question here was to me, I'll respond. Male, female, she-male who the heck cares. The point was, it was rude. The content may have been sarcastic, but the fact that you felt it necessary to send a PM at all was flat out rude. There was no need for that. There is never any need to send someone a PM for an error they have made. Do you seriously have nothing better to do in your life than that??

How in the world is it disrespectful when someone posts "expired" in the thread?? I made a MISTAKE.. which I admitted a page or two previously... I posted before I finished reading the entire original post.. Perhaps you would benefit from googling the word disrespectful, because you definately don't have a grasp on the meaning of that word.

[an0nymz]

as of Nov 6 9:17am, it is still valid.

As of 1:31PM, PST (GMT-8), it is still valid :).

Ae of 5:25 PST, it worked for me.

Can a mod please delete these posts? Otherwise people will see "still valid" posts there and assume it's the right thing to do :confused:

[freebie]

I don't follow this thread often, but what is the methodology behind the way the Code Thread is cleaned up? Obviously the thread was cleared out today since it was 2 pages long earlier but now only has 3 posts.

Why didn't the mod also clear this ancient post from October 23 that's clearly expired?

Did you guys see the blog post about the 5 a month rule?

"It is with that community in mind that we are introducing a new policy to ensure that every Swaggernaut will be able to get any prize they want. Each prize now has a 5 order per calendar month limit per person. That doesn't mean that you can only get 5 prizes per month, it just means you can only get the same prize 5 times per month."
...

"So if you're a person that gets 10 Magic Johnson Cards every month, now you can get 5 Magics and 5 Larry Birds. Or maybe you snag 10 movie tickets. Now you can get 5 tix and 5 Restaurant.com Gift Cards for dinner and a movie.

Whatever the case may be, the point is there is a plethora of items for which you can spend your Swag Bucks. And with the 5 of the same item per month limit, it will help to ensure that EVERYONE gets exactly what they want." etc...


I'd suggest if you haven't read this blog post that you do...just to get things clear. And if you read the comments after, there are a lot of unhappy people, but also some responses from TSG such as:

"
The Swag Guy said... @valknight and anonymous - we understand the amazon.com e-Gift Cards are very popular to some users so we added a $25 and $50 option. This means you now will be able to get up to $400 per mo. of Amazon.com cards which is actually better than before we introduced the 5 item per month cap. The reason they are not at the same rate as the $5 is because we work with Amazon to get special rates for the $5 cards but are not able to do so with the higher denominations."






I think it is ridiculous. I redeem that many (5) amazon gift cards in a week and a half and they are saying that they have added bigger denominations for amazon gift cards so that it's better for us blah blah blah, these new denominations are more "expensive" than if were to buy the equivalent the way it is now, $5 for 45 sb's and they are only for amazon.com I personally have only been ordering the amazon.ca gift cards. I have send them a nasty email about this. It is not fair at all to those of us who redeem a lot and have referred lots of people to be penalized like this.

[madchives]

Swagbucks Limits Redemptions
November 6, 2009 11:33 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)
My pal Ginger over at AttentionTargetShoppers emailed this morning to say that she'd gotten a disturbing message when trying to cash out for an Amazon GC at Swagbucks this morning: "We are sorry for the inconvenience, prize orders are limited to 5 per month. Please place your order again next month."

Twitter has been ablaze with people upset about this today, but it appears that while Swagbucks HAS instituted some redemption limits, it's not as extreme a change as it seemed at first glance -- redemptions are being limited to five per type per month (in other words, five $5 Amazon GCs, five $5 Starbucks GCs, etc.).

Unless you have quite a number of referrals, as Ginger and I do, this change probably won't impact you at all. If you earn an average of one Swagbuck a day, you're probably only cashing out once a month anyway. But when you refer a friend, and the friend wins a Swagbuck, you win one, too (up to 100 SB per friend referred), so those of us who've been faithfully spreading the word about Swagbucks will be the ones most affected by the change.

Amazon is the cashout of choice for many of us because it's the best value $5 redemption, at 45 Swagbucks for $5 Amazon. There's no higher denomination of Amazon GC available on Swagbucks right now, so I'm sure the demand for the $5 Amazon redemption has been tremendous.

Swagbucks recently changed their system to only send Amazon GCs twice a month rather than daily, as they had before. My reaction at the time was that this was just to simplify things administratively. This new redemption limitation may also be for that reason, but if that is the case (and as a faithful Swaggernaut, I hope that's the reason), we SHOULD see Swagbucks add a $25 or $50 Amazon redemption. That would result in 1/5 or 1/10 of the Amazon cashouts and would demonstrate that the reason for the limits is administrative and not financial.

Swagbucks has RSVP'd for my annual chat tomorrow; hopefully they'll be able to ease the concerns caused by this new rule.

well, sorry more info then:

guessing around about now, i should shut up
:D

[el_diablo007]

You know, they did add the $25 and $50 Amazon cards, but they're sold at a premium to the $5 cards.

ie. it costs more per point to get a $25 denomination than it does 5x5. I suppose like you mentioned, for people with huge referral bases, it can be more palatable, but still odd IMO.

[Tilter]

;9716254']Don't know if it's the same one as 2 posts above, but Swag Widget says there's a code in special offers page http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-special-offers It seems generated. 1 SB

perhaps you should learn how to spell definitely :lol: also sending someone a private message is rude now? why even have the feature then? perhaps you should just take a break, your spelling and logic are seriously flawed...

also here is the message i sent for all to see

"Thanks for posting expired. I really appreciate getting an extra email and having to check the thread.

You guys may be watching 'Game4' of the World Series right now.
Enter that code on Swagbucks before 8:10PM PDT for 2 Swag Bucks!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

how the hell can you miss the thread title and the first post telling you ONLY TO POST CODES OR EXPIRY NOTICES

god learn to read

what a joke you are

Yeah, nothing rude about that is there...:rolleyes:

Also while you're at it insulting attitude's spelling, perhaps you should learn how to read and comprehend what you're reading. He never said getting a PM was rude, he said the particular PM you sent him was rude(I agree). If you don't agree, I have to wonder why you did it through a PM at the time rather than simply post it in this thread "for all to see".

Uh huh...keep up your valuable contributions...oh wait, I haven't seen one yet, so excuse my incorrect grammer since there's nothing to 'keep up'.;)

BTW 'the least sensitive skin' means thick skin...you might also want to brush up on your grammar skills....or lack thereof. Lemme help ya out a bit...you meant to say 'the most sensitive skin'. Before you correct me I intentionally spelled some words wrong in this paragraph...;)

[Justine]

is no one bothered by the way swagbuck is ripping off their subscribers, perhaps no one read my post on the previous page :confused:

I did the math and look at this, swagbucks are penalizing the power users, the ones who bring in other users, use their system the most, the ones that actually make it popular.

Current system
$5 amazon.ca GC is 45pts

New system
$25 amazon.com GC is 315 pts ($5*5 = 225 points, this new system is a 40% increase)
$50 amazon.com GC is 590 pts ($5*10 = 450 points, this new system is 31% increase)

The higher denominations should be less pts because it takes so much longer to get them. And since we are only allowed to redeem for 5 a month.

[sidseven]

is no one bothered by the way swagbuck is ripping off their subscribers, perhaps no one read my post on the previous page :confused:

I did read your post, but I only accumulate enough swagbucks to claim 1-2 gift cards per month, so it doesn't really affect me.

BTW--regarding the $400 per month in amazon gift cards-- they are assuming you redeem 5x$5, 5x$25, and 5x$50 each month to get the $400 total.

hmmm, i've wondered about that too, maybe they like the whoopi :D part.

i was in a sort of private chat, (60 ish people), with scott, guy from sb.
i did post about it earlier. we had a 3 minute, 3 sbs code.
(private ish whoopi)
he seemed surprised that people were so upset about the changes, and
didn't really answer any questions.
i did try about the amazon.ca cards - no response.

[archvenus14]

i think there s a code out.. i cant figure it out tho

[sillysimms]

I'm using my gmail account to notify me of new codes. However, after one forward to my phone, the notifications end. Any way to solve this email problem?

PS I'm pretty sure that every one else has the same problem as I do, but this is not a spam

After one alert, you have to re-visit the thread on RFD in order to get another alert.

[LoneI2anger]

After one alert, you have to re-visit the thread on RFD in order to get another alert.
omg i never knew that! i always wondered why when i got an alert, i might visit it later and itd be all changed around and i mightve even missed a couple of codes too!!!

[an0nymz]

omg i never knew that! i always wondered why when i got an alert, i might visit it later and itd be all changed around and i mightve even missed a couple of codes too!!!

It says so in the notification email, after the quoted new post.
"There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again."
That's to prevent your inbox from getting flooded with RFD notifications.

Not working at 7:19 EST.

He posted that 24 hours ago....

sigh, that's the consequence of not explicitly posting expired... You've got to check the date, or delete old posts fast enough :(

*edit: woah, check out the banner under my name :D Noticed that just now.

[Lone_Prodigy]

lmao i love how you keep spending time replying to me, i could do this forever :lol:

Please stop antagonizing people.

As for them restricting "power users", it's unfortunate, but I think the alternative would be raising the price of the gift cards, which would affect the majority of users. They already issue gift cards twice a month so they must be getting overwhelmed with orders.

[Nikita]

lmao i love how you keep spending time replying to me, i could do this forever :lol:

Now that's pitiful...guess who doesn't have a life?

What I love is someone laughing at someone for doing the exact same thing they're doing...replying to me...and not even getting it! HA...talk about braindead!


Please stop antagonizing people.

Oh but he 'can do this forever', cuz apparently this IS his pitiful life....so let's just pity him and let him get his kicks, I'm sure he won't be a keeper on this site.;)

Oh, btw, guess where this was posted? You got it, in the 'other' thread...:rolleyes:....can we all say 'braindead'...lol!

My apologies, he's on ignore now, I won't miss the lame comments and exibited stupidity of this one any more than I miss the nasty PMs. Sorry guys, but methinks that means he'll be moving on to one of you next, he's alredy moved on to 3 others that I know of...so just a friendly warning if you get a PM from wildele, delete it unread (or simply block him), it won't contain anything but an insult, you know the kind that cowards are afraid to post in the public forums. Cuz after all, as he said he "could do this all day". And does, believe me!

You don't need to register for Amazon before ordering the gift card. Its good to have an account so you can add stuff to your cart and see how much the total will be.

I don't usually go on here to look for SB codes....but I thought I would just remind everyone that posting an active SwagCode could result in the code being expired early, codes stopped all together, or your SwagBucks account deactivated. I know its great to share the info and there are ways around their rules but please, can we follow the rules of SwagBucks?
**don't hate me for stating the rules :)**

[RiCHC3]

As a heads up, if you use a FireFox addon called "AutoPager" (automatically loads 1 or more pages) you may want to disable it on swag searches as when you "win" and have to enter a code, the extra loaded pages changes the code.

That probably didn't make much sense, but if you don't have the addon it doesn't matter :D.

[RiCHC3]

Yeesh, have you guys seen the updated "Special Offers" page.

http://www.swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-special-offers

Essentially you can score an easy 300 swagbucks or so by signing up for 3 trial offers. Unfortunately, CC is required for trial sign up, just have to cancel within X timeframe. Hopefully it's all applicable in Canada, I'll try it myself over the weekend.

[afireinside27]

You have to go on the site for the points you want to use. For example, go to http://searchwithhilaryduff.swagbucks.com, go to the store, choose a 1SB contest and enter it.

I usually enter the 500SB giveaway or something of the like.
