Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks obviously never heard of Swagbucks. Every day Swagbucks offers new ways to earn SB! Whether you are a seasoned Swagbucks veteran or a Swagbucks newbie these Swagbucks Tips & Tricks might just be what gets you to that next Gift Card redemption. Today’s topic, redeeming Swag Codes
I’m sure most of you are already familiar with Swag Codes but for those who are new here is a quick explanation. Swag Codes are strings of text that you can redeem for instant SB. Each Swag Code is worth a certain number of SB and is only available within a specific time frame.
We know what you’re thinking, where can you find these Swag Codes? Swag Codes are hidden on the different earning opportunities on Swagbucks as well as Swagbucks social profiles including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Swagbucks Pro-Tip: Every Tuesday Swagbucks hosts a trivia game called iSpy Search on Twitter @swagbucks. Every 2 hours starting at 10am PDT/1pm EDT a clue is tweeted out, the answer being a Swag Code. You’ll have to be quick though because the iSpy Search answers only have a limited number of redemptions!
Alright, so you’re already an expert on Swagbucks and follow all of their social channels, how are you going to do know when a Swag Code is live. Swag Code alerts are always available on the Swagbucks Facebook Page. When the Swag Code goes live a post on Facebook will either include the Swag Code or direct you where to go. If you’re not always on Facebook we provide alerts in two other ways:
- SwagButton – The SwagButton is a browser extension that can be added to Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. If you have the SwagButton installed you will get an alert on the top right of your browser directing you where to go when a Swag Code is live. That’s just one of many perks of installing the SwagButton!
- Swagbucks Mobile App – As long as you enable push notifications on the Swagbucks Mobile App you will receive push notifications when a Swag Code goes live. The Swagbucks Mobile App is available for both iOS and Android devices and has a litany of other ways to earn SB.
So you’ve found your Swag Code and you’re curious what to do with it, you redeem it of course! Most Swag Codes can be redeemed in one of three ways:
- Swag Code box – Take a look at the header on Swagbucks on desktop. See that little dial in center that says Swag Code on it? Click on it and either type or copy and paste the Swag Code and click “Redeem”. Instant SB.
- SwagButton – If you have the SwagButton browser extension simply click on the Swagbucks logo on the top right of your browser window, then click on Swag Code and type or copy and paste the Swag Code and click “Redeem Swag Code”. That’s it, intsant SB.
- Swagbucks Mobile App – Assuming you have the Swagbucks Mobile App installed on your mobile device simply open the app and click on the lock dial icon on the top right (to the left of the search icon). Type in your Swag Code and the SB are yours.
Swagbucks Pro-Tip: Some Swag Codes can only be redeemed in the SwagButton or the Swagbucks Mobile App. Specifically, Swag Codes on Monday are only redeemable in the Swagbucks Mobile App and Thursday’s Swag Codes are only redeemed in the SwagButton.
That sure was a lot of information about Swag Codes but there is still more to know. Don’t worry Swaggernauts, once I’m done with you, you won’t ever miss another Swag Code.
- Linked Swag Codes – Sometimes we will tweet out two linked Swag Codes at the same time. That means you will only be able to redeem one of the two Swag Codes. Just think of it as a funny little poll. These Swag Codes are also case-sensitive so make sure you capitalize the characters capitalized in the Swag Code Alert.
- Stealth Swag Codes – These are the most elusive Swag Codes. Why, you ask? Because these, unlike other Swag Codes, cannot be shared. Why can’t they be shared? They can’t be shared because every user gets a different Swag Code. Stealth Swag Codes are one-time use only unique Swag Codes. They look a little longer than normal Swag Codes but they are just as rewarding.
Swagbucks Pro-Tip: When redeeming a Stealth Swag Code it is preferable to copy and paste it into the Swag Code box. Also, make sure when copying and pasting that you don’t include an extra space.
Well now that you’re a Swag Code expert, go out there and earn! Stay tuned for more Tips & Tricks every week!
