@dionaea said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:
Every time I see a Code these days, it’s only good in the SwagButton, which I refuse to install, and I don’t have a smartphone either. Do you think the Swag Codes tomorrow will be the same?
Unfortunately, it is pretty much guaranteed that you will need the app or button/browser extension to redeem all swag codes going forward. As I noted a few posts above, they’ve completely removed the ability to redeem codes directly on their website.
Some Options To Consider:
-
Install the Swagbutton on a browser and/or old computer you use ONLY to redeem swag codes (or other occasions it is needed like for Swago or shopping). Disable the button when not in use.
-
Just buy a cheap android OS 5+ mobile phone already!!! or buy a used one on ebay (stack the purchase with cashback, sales, codes etc.). Maybe you know someone with an old phone they don’t mind giving you or selling to you cheaply. Don’t activate it, just use it on WiFi. You can get a really decent one under $40… even if all you use it for is maxing out the main 7 video apps daily, it will pay for itself in a 2-3 months then the rest is gravy. I average $1 a day through the apps: it’s only about $0.50 a day right now due to the throttling, but that’ll be over soon, then it will be $1 to $1.50 most of the time depending on bonus rounds (over $3 a day is common with unlimited bonus rounds). That’s often not even counting additional potential earnings from the nCrave app or the Swag IQ trivia app.
-
Add a new activity into your rotation to make up for the SB you miss out on from the swag codes. For example, you can earn 10 SB a day/$3 a month with the Swagasaurus Run game (you earn 2 SB every 2 games no matter how well you score). That’s more than twice what you’d make if you were even able to redeem every single swag code before they expired or reached maximum redemptions. Another similar example is maxing out the daily 1 SB and 2 SB coupon “prints” under AdGate and Offer Toro.

Join every new team challenge so you can read the team members’ comments/pick up new tips on how to earn more… then come back and post/share them here.

There are 2 Swag IQ games today at 7pm and 8pm EST
-
First swagcode is expired.
-
2nd swag code is out… they’re usually announced every two hours but I’m not sure how that will play out today since the last code at 7:30pm EST is on the half hour.

@briarycliffs I’m sorry, it looks likes I gave you outdated info on sharing swag codes. It used to be prohibited/result in accounts being banned, but now that I had a chance to search for a direct link, I see that the terms appear to have changed per the help menu (
I’m still looking for adirect link) :"Can Swag Codes be shared between users?
YES! Feel free to share active Swag Codes. Tell your friends, post it on your Facebook wall, Tweet it to your followers; let everyone know the active Swag Code. This will allow everyone can take advantage of the bonus Swag Bucks!
Don’t worry, there will be no repercussions for posting active Swag Codes. This will not negatively impact your account in any way.
As a reminder, sign-up codes and randomized codes may not be shared."

I thought you could share the facebook ones, just not the link to the one time use ones, only the link to the sb page.

You appear to be more up to speed on the new swag code rules than me (until today I wasn’t aware of any changes other than being allowed to say when a new code was out… which also allowed us to link to their Facebook page which always has links to the code). So, the ‘new’ policy I posted earlier clearly states that we can NOW post universal codes that are not one-time use… but where did you find any official policy on which SB website pages we can link to? The last part (“just not the link to the one time use ones, only the link to the sb page”) is a bit unclear to me/say the opposite about what we can link to outside of their Facebook page (unless you mean ‘only the link to the sb FB page’?). I’m hesitant to post any direct links to codes on the SB website (not their FB page) without seeing their specific policy.
BTW: the 3rd code is out now (one-time use)

Sorry, I just meant you can say there’s a swagbuck code and link to the facebook or twitter page or blog post, wherever.

OK, no problem… that’s my best understanding of all this right now too… so everyone should now feel free to share multiple-use codes in this thread. Thanks @briarycliffs for putting this issue on the table. I know I PM’ed another member a long while back warning that their account could be banned for posting codes, so I hope they also see this and know that that is no longer true.

The 5th code is Wint3rCoat. It is supposed to be redeemed in the button but I only realized that after I redeemed it successfully through the app.
There is one code left. It will probably be released at 7pm??? (assuming the 1/2 hour is when the last code expires, not when it’s released).

Enter EARMUFFS in the Mobile App OR the Swagbutton ONLY before 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET to earn 9SB.

About a month ago I mentioned that the new “buy SB” program had been officially announced… today I noticed that it’s perma-link was missing on the homepage, and when I click the link in my previous post, I get an error page that says “This feature is currently unavailable for you.” That’s weird because I was part of the beta program, so I’m not sure why it suddenly wouldn’t be available to me now/after weeks of being live… or maybe they pulled it completely for now or permanently. Odd.

The ever expanding push to get folks to use the swag button continues with the “SwagButton Referral Program Announcement:” an extra 100 SB bonus to members who successfully refer other users to add the SwagButton to their browser
… now includes a custom link that members can promote and share… Referred Users must add the SwagButton on their laptop or desktop, via Members’ customized Extension Referral Link. In addition, Referred Users must keep the SwagButton active for an initial period of usage. Our systems evaluate activity from Referred Users over a period of 30 days.
…Over the past 6 months, Swagbucks added a feature to the SwagButton that automatically applies the best coupon code to online orders. This feature is supported at most of the popular stores that offer coupon codes
…On top of the savings from coupons, Swagbucks members also receive SB (cash back) on their orders. But what’s also exciting about this enhancement to the SwagButton is that a user does not have to be a member to utilize the coupon-finding application.
…you can earn the 100 SB Bonus AND the 300 SB New Referral Bonus AND the 10% Lifetime Earning Referral awards on all your referrals

@fivetalents said in Swagbucks Tips, Offers & Discussion Thread:
They added an SB to all of the Watch videos on PC, and they run on auto-mode.
After nearly 6 weeks, not only has this 1 SB bonus on all PC Watch video sets been removed, the sets are now paying worse than they did prior to the bonus:
- Pre-bonus: 1 SB = watch 12 videos, 2 SB = watch 22 videos, 3 SB = watch 28 videos
- With the bonus: 2 SB = watch 12 videos, 3 SB = watch 22 videos, 4 SB = watch 28 videos
- Post-bonus: 1 SB = watch 15 videos, 2 SB = watch 25 videos, 3 SB = watch 30 videos
There are also far fewer categories and videos available in each category. This just happened this evening… so maybe they just ran out of videos during the “push” to max out points at the end of the team challenge and things will be restored tomorrow (I doubt it since they just usually pull videos they run out of and don’t increase the number of views required per set).

SWAG CODE ALERT: The first 12,000 Swaggernauts to enter Creativity in the SwagButton or Swagbucks Mobile App will earn 2SB.

I’m getting many rounds out of the TLTG but it requires babysitting.

On Jan 18th, during the 2 SB per coupon print promo, I selected the maximum 50 coupons, but only 3 of them printed (in the latest Firefox PC browser). I still received the full 100 SB payout today, but lost use of 47 coupons.

I’m getting a of TLTG rounds again, but it’s mostly 1-click videos instead of 10-click sets.

-
- More throttling?
- neither auto-play (self-advancing within a set of videos) nor discovery mode (automatically loading a new video set when the last one is completed) on the PC watch video sets has worked consistently for a while (2 weeks-ish)
- Most of the coupon “print” offers under the Discover partners (AdGate Media, OfferToro, RadiumOne, etc.)
-
The Sportly app continues to have bonus points and rounds
-
TLTG is still running regularly with intermittent interruptions

If you completed the Discover flip50 Fitness and wellness offer for 5 SB early in January, you may have noticed that you could only do it once despite subsequent offers. A new offer for it appeared in my inbox today but it’s worth 7 SB and I was able to get credited for it instantly. It’s a very easy offer whether you’ve done it before or not.

New inbox offer today: “NOWAT 2,500 SB!”… Get an NJOY Ace Sampler Kit for just $0.99. Use coupon code ACESAMPLER99 at checkout. Plus earn 2,500 SB!
You earn $10 more on this current offer ($19 money maker), so this is a no-brainer if you haven’t done it yet. I’m not sure if you can do it again if you completed a previous offer(s) since the code is exactly the same. “Offer may only be redeemed once (1) per user,” but the higher/different reward value may or may not constitute a new/different offer.
