Swag Codes (Swag Bucks).

Overview.

I get a lot of questions about Swag Codes on The Swaggernaut Forum, so I've decided to answer all of your questions here.

As winner of Swag Bucks Superstars #2, I feel it's my duty to explain Swag Codes the best I can for all of you!

First off, what is a Swag Code?

A Swag Code is a promotional code that will give you a Swag Buck or two when correctly entered on your My Account page. Swag Codes can be found on any of the official Swag Bucks pages (Facebook, Swag Bucks Blog, Twitter, YouTube, and Flikr) and occasionally in the Swag Bucks Internet Explorer toolbar, and newsletter. They're available for either a limited time or for a limited number of users, so you need to keep your eyes open and act fast!

What do Swag Codes look like? How will you know when you find one?

There are a few clues to keep in mind while hunting for Swag Codes. The most obvious Swag Codes are announced as exactly that. These dead give aways will look something like this:

Enter Swag Code "TwitterRocks" now to get a buck!

or

The Swag Code is: "TwitterRocks"

Swag Codes are case sensitive and have no spaces, so make sure you enter the code exactly as it is listed. Also remember the code itself does not include the "_" marks.

Once you find the code what do you do?

To enter the Swag Code you need to go to your 'My Account' page by going to swagbucks.com and clicking on either the 'My Account' button or on the large Swag Buck tally box.

On your 'My Account' page you will see a box that looks like the one at the top of this post. This is where you can 'Enter your Swag Code' and click the Gimme! button. If you've gotten the Swag Code correct and the time or user limit hasn't been reached, you'll be rewarded with your Swag Buck.

How will you know it worked?

When you enter a Swag Code you will receive one of four possible messages. These messages appear in a little red pop up box. Here is what they mean.



The Swag Code you entered is correct, but unfortunately it has expired. Dang! Either the time limit or the user limit for the code has been met. Remember that Swag Codes are a fleeting freebie; they don't last very long. When you find one, move fast! The good news is that you got the Swag Code right! You will live to Swag Hunt another day.

The Swag Code you've entered is invalid. This is not necessarily bad news. If there is an active Swag Code out there this message should tell you to keep hunting, or to refine the Swag Code you have found. Remember that Swag Codes are case sensitive. Perhaps the code you found needs to be in ALL CAPS, Capitalized or in all lower case. Maybe you need to take the spaces out between words. Keep trying, the Swag Code could still be yours!
