Swagbucks - Search & Win - NO REFERRALS ALLOWED

Remember that referrals are not allowed on SlickDeals.net.

That includes asking for a referral, linking to a referral, requiring a referral for a trade/swap/, or anything else.


This thread is a general thread to help each other out with IDEAS for searches. Thank you's are always welcome here. Off topic is okay in this thread for the purpose of helping users out with Swagbucks through searches and when possible, swagcodes that are available.

The Swagcode thread found through this link is for the SwagCodes only where no off topic is allowed.

However OT is allowed here



Swag bucks and how to get them:

1. Searching. Try and search as you would use google or any other search engine. Some accounts have been suspended because they searched "unnaturally". While you may have an argument as to the subjective nature of an unnatural search, keep in mind that they set the rules and we are obliged to follow them. Usually in this situation they reinstate the account.

Winning SB's is somewhat unpredictable. People seem to have a good amount of success at 1a.m. eastern time. What most people find is that you can win once or twice per IP address. Your IP address comes from your ISP and you can't change it. In order to win multiple times in a day, some people do legitimate searches in the morning at home, then while getting coffee in the morning, then at work, then over wifi at the gym, etc. Keep in mind that Sb's has also suspended accounts seemingly for winning too many times.

Search terms DO NOT MATTER. People like posting what they searched for and that is fine, and it gives people ideas what to search for. For instance, Jeff posts that he won for "Random Search Word". Jennifer then does a search for "Random Search Word" and wins as well. It doesn't mean that RSW triggers a win, rather it was just time for both people to win. This has been confirmed through contact with SB's. Please consider that searching for RSW is probably better than searching for "sldfoiuwer" which isn't a word and could possibly trigger a suspension for unnatural searching.

2. Swag Codes: Swag codes are relased at the discretion of TSG (The Swag Guy). They can be found at different locations, i.e., the blog, twitter, face book, as well as within the store or with partner sites. Most codes are time restricted and when known the expiration date is posted, and some are redemption restricted (the first 500 people).

How much are swag bucks worth. It depends on what they are redeemed for. Most people redeem $5 Amazon gift cards for 450 SB's. So it breaks down to about 1.1 cents per SB.

Please consider that SB accounts are limited to 1 per household which essentially means one per IP address. That also includes certain types of work/school networks. In a situation where there has been a referral and the two accounts use the same IP address, the 2nd account is eliminated.

If you would like to share and/or interested to see what others have searched for and won Swag Bucks, please see and post in this thread: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1245673

Tip: It's best to spread your searches throughout the day. Search in the morning, afternoon, and night. It's pretty rare to win Swag Bucks more than once within several hours. It does happen though. It's not to the point where it is considered random.

Keep in mind that there are other SB site/stores and the SB's won can only be used at that site. So if you earn SB's from a NY Giant's site, you can only redeem from that site. Keep in mind that prizes, while identical, e.g., $5 Amazon GC, may have a different redemption value across the sites, 45 at one site, and 60 at another. So keep that in mind before you start to earn.

How to enter codes:
Make sure you're signed in.
Click on "My Account" on the top right of the page.
On left side column it says "Enter your Swag Code" and a box below it.
Enter the code in the box and click "Gimme!"
After the code is entered your points should appear. It's that easy!

NOTE: Swag Codes are case sensitive. Also, make sure you don't have any extra spaces in the code.

Usefull SwagEmails if you have questions:

Team Swagbucks and I like to be as accessible as possible for all our loyal Swaggernauts. We actually have a few updates including a new email address so I have decided to provide all of Swag Nation a complete list of email addresses as well as their purposes including the new customer support email I briefly alluded to, [email protected].

[email protected] - This email is for all customer service issues, account & shipping questions, redemption, etc. This takes the place of the [email protected] address, speaking of which...

[email protected] - This is no longer the proper customer support address.

[email protected] - If you're not sure about rules for accounts or searching or you've been deactivated or would like to be, this is the address to use for all account issues as it relates to Terms of Service and Contest Rules.

[email protected] - Use this address for all partnering, advertising & business inquiries.

[email protected] - As you may or may not know, Swagbucks features 6 polls a week and rewards its creators with 10 Swag Bucks and feature the results in the blog. To be a part of that, you send all your poll ideas to this address.

[email protected] - Use this address to submit pictures of yourself with your Swagbucks prizes for us to post at our Flickr page. We reward you for doing so. Also, any unboxing, tutorials or testimonial videos for Swagbucks through YouTube, send to this address.

[email protected] - For any support issues concerning items purchased or Swag Bucks redeemed through the Shop&Earn section, use this address.

[email protected] - If you haven't been acquainted with TSGal, you should really meet her. She's quite charming. This email is used to ask questions for TSGal's columns. You can also share cool stuff with her if you're so inclined.

[email protected] - this email is ONLY to be used for things that require immediate attention, such as people violating terms of service with a cheating site, hack videos, posting Swag Codes or being abusive/rude/offensive on the Facebook wall; things of that nature. This is not a customer service email address. Occasionally contests will be announced where we ask you to email TSG your submissions, in this case its perfectly acceptable to use this address. Also, if you want to just chat and share cool stuff with TSG, use this e-mail.

That's it, the complete list! Hit us up!
