Warning: You must now enter a code after getting bucks for a search

When you see the usual notice of award for a search, you must now enter a 3 letter code to actually receive the buck. It is case sensitive. My caps lock button does not seem to cause upper case letters to be recognized as such. Strange.

Seems to be gone as of now. Just did a search, got one swagbuck, and was not asked for a code.

Had one earlier in the day require it...

Then later in the day... none...

Really weird- perhaps they were having issues with fraud

It seems you must enter the code very promptly, or the offered buck expires. So don't get distracted by doing something on another window while the search result loads.
