Let's post successful Swagbucks codes here
 
Swagbucks pays bucks for searches and other stuff. Bucks are convertible to miles and other goodies. Not all searches produce bucks. Let's post the successful searches here, along with the number of bucks they produce.

Here is the conga and description of the program.



If this thread becomes popular, perhaps it could become a sticky. I don't know how that is accomplished - probably by a moderator?

Free southwest airlines credits 3 credits

Barclay 2 credits

free advantage mile for one swagbuck 1 credit
(Weird: "free aadvantage mile for one swagbuck" gave me no credit. But when I clicked on the suggested "free advantage mile for one swagbuck", I received the credit.)

Cheapskate Travels Feb 17, 2009 1:56 pm

"Playstation 3" -- 2 bucks

Yee ha! Only 1,699 more searches like this for 5k AA. :p

Tiki Feb 17, 2009 3:21 pm

It seems to be completely random, I searched all the above and got nothing. When I first signed up, I searched American Airlines and got 1 swagbuck. So there aren't magic words that reward everyone who searches that word.

"guys and dolls" one swag

nsr Feb 18, 2009 9:59 am

worked only for "guys and dolls" one swag

pgary Feb 18, 2009 2:37 pm

ATT Trimline Chorded Phone 1 buck

Tiki Feb 19, 2009 12:39 am

Has anyone gotten more than one "hit" in a 24 hour period? This morning, I got 1 Swag Buck on "Peru", then I sat there for an hour (while watching tv) and just kept clicking on related searches and got nothing.

Is this a pyramid deal? Like every time my referral gets a Swag Buck, I get one too?

mikeef Feb 19, 2009 7:54 am

Guys, I think it's random.

Tiki, I get a couple a day. Each time you do a search off the home page, you have a small chance to get a SB. It is a pyramid, in that each time you earn a SB, your referrer gets one, up to 100.

It appears that there is occasionally a delay in the pop-up. You likely got it for the original search.

sometiems other peoples searches work, sometimes it doens't. it doesn't hurt to try.

Nope, can't hurt, I guess. Nothing bad can come of it.

I'm up to 64 points. Hopefully, this site doesn't die off or change its rules before I cash out. It's worth noting that SB offers frequent flyer miles as a prize at an outrageously high exchange rate.

yeah the miles are really expensive. i was thinking of getting a gc. i'm up to 140, i started about a month ago. the highest i got was $10. i've never gotten it again :(

Tiki Feb 20, 2009 2:28 pm

What's really odd is that the airlines have different prices on the miles.

1000 AS 825 SB
1000 AA 1150 SB
2000 DL 1180 SB
1500 US 1350 SB
2000 AA 1700 SB
3000 AS 1875 SB
3500 US 2350 SB
4000 DL 2360 SB
5000 AA 3400 SB
6000 DL 3545 SB
6000 AS 3680 SB
6500 US 3850 SB
9000 AS 5260 SB
9500 US 5350 SB
10000 AA 5700 SB
10000 DL 5910 SB

They are all different and make no sense. It takes forever to accumulate them too, I am up to 23 after 3 days so at a rate of 7 SB per day, that's 2555 in a year.

LSC is faster and more reliable now that miles are posting again, albeit after more elapsed time than before.

Tiki Feb 20, 2009 2:42 pm

Amazon.com GCs appear to be the best value for non-airline prizes at 45 SB for $5 provided you can get more than one. They don't have a higher valued card but 450 SB gets you $50 on Amazon.com if you can redeem 10 times.

Dizzle Feb 22, 2009 7:27 am

As soon as I started reading this thread, I tried the first search "Playstation 3" -- got 1 swagbuck.

Excited, I tried all the other terms mentioned in this tread. All in vain -- ZERO after the first success.:confused:

DesertSailors Feb 22, 2009 8:45 am

I agree completely. It took almost 20 minutes of random search topics before getting even one! That being said, then I got like 3 in the next 10 minutes, lol. :confused:

ecq Feb 23, 2009 4:28 pm

usually i search once in the morning and then if i am on after work (around 6) i get something.

if you search any time in between, very little chance to get anything.

pgary Feb 23, 2009 5:17 pm

arcus seals 2 credits
Pier 39 1 credit

I am beginning to notice two strange things:
  1. I seem to always get credit for my second search
  2. I get credit for that first and second search again if I use a different browser. Worked on two different days for I.E. and Firefox.

    Please tell us about your experience with this.

Thanks - I'll have to try that..... I found something else. Make sure you log out, and then log back in later. I keep getting them in one of my first couple searches, then I log out, and try back much later, and then I get another one.

I better start getting increments of more than 1 or 2, every once in a while. I think I decided to earn a decent award and quit, unless they start accumulating a little quicker.

ecq Feb 24, 2009 8:04 am

I do the log in and log out thing as well. Also if you go to different computers and search a certain term, it'll give you another swagbuck, it's a hit or miss though.

This has worked best for me. I think there are fewer people on during those times.

beckoa Feb 25, 2009 2:29 am

From what I was reading on its website explanation... its a function of how much time elapsed since the last 'buck' was awarded... randomly calculated... so it might pay off to search late at night...

I don't understand how some people have gotten 100's of referrals from this though...

Another way to get bucks is thru codes... so if someone finds a swagcode (or whatever they are called) please post if it works, and everyone can take advantage of it. The website says 2/25 is its b-day and 5 codes will be given out... so might be some luck today :p

Edit: RATM just worked for 1 swagbuck :cool:

OAR [in all caps] = 1 swagbuck

pgary Feb 25, 2009 1:28 pm

Please lets distinguish between swagcodes and searches.

OAR did not work for me as a swagcode.

To enter a swagcode, click on the big square that tells you how many swagbucks you have when you log in. This brings you to the My Account page. Then enter the code in the appropriate field on the right side of the page.

Tiki Feb 25, 2009 1:49 pm

I don't get the whole swagcode thing. How do you find them?

GreyedOut Feb 25, 2009 1:53 pm

They're posting 'swagcodes' on their blog, twitter account, and facebook page.

They appear to only be valid for a certain number of redemptions though.

Tiki Feb 25, 2009 3:29 pm

Got 1! HappySwagDay
