Is there a special trick?

4 I'm just going to throw this question on here since I can't seem to figure it out myself or get the answer elsewhere... How do I find the swag codes on the 'Refer and Earn' page? I got notified that there's one available and to go to the page to find it - but I could not see any. I even filled a new referral email address as I thought it would be necessary to do that first before the code shows up. But no... there was still nothing and I felt so blind... I know there are more seasoned swaggers on here and I may just get an answer to this. Thanks in advance!

Swag codes are confusing to say the least. I don't rush to kill myself to find them any longer.

I think my problem for missing many of them is because I don't do Facebook.

@sishy7 Sure, you have to have FB to get them.

@AbbyGreenhill That's why when the notification said I could find it on the 'Refer and Earn' page I thought I would have a chance to get one without having to go to FB...

I am sorry that I cannot help you, but I do not swag, I have no idea where to find the codes.

That's okay - even for those who do swag, the codes location can be a mystery.

@BellaDoc Oh, I've never heard of that... I use sbcodez as they have an International section for those outside the US.

@sishy7 True! I use SC-S to find them.

I am lazy and I mostly don't "find" the codes . . . I get the codes from what people post on FB (on the SB page, visitor posts). If I catch it in time, I can get the code - but most times it has already expired. The times that I have bothered to search - sometimes there would be a banner/notice at the top - other times a little window notice will pop out at the bottom to say what it is. I have never installed the swag button, so I don't get that one.

@sishy7 Any little bit helps if you can get it! But if you don't get it, you figure it's just a few SBs, no sweat if you miss it. I do like those swag code extravaganza days though!

@much2say That's when there are supposed to be a number of swag codes in the course of the day, right? I've read about that as well, but couldn't quite get the codes either...

When I first joined and read about it, swag code sounds like it would be an easy way to get swag bucks - well, not as easy as it sounds, I guess...

@ElizabethWallace Well for me, I earn a lot faster on there than here... Even faster than when Bubblews used to pay me a penny for each view/like/comment. And I imagine those in the States would have more offers or surveys available to them compared to what I get down here thus more earning opportunities.

@sishy7 Do people really make money on swagbucks? Is it enough to warrant the time and effort. There isn't much money here, but it is easy to earn.

I've seen that code location a couple times and every time I went there I couldn't find it no matter what I did. Sorry I can't help you. I'd like the answer to that one myself.

@fishtiger58 The surveys can get really boring - but what can I say, I mostly earn from answering them on there... I play the Swag Memory in between them sometimes just to lessen my boredom a bit and pick up a couple swagbucks as well.

I think that it had expired by the time we were notified of it. That happens sometimes. Also, sometimes they say that it is there when it is not. If I can't find it right away, then I usually check back in a few minutes. If it is still not there, then I sometimes go to the poll question or current blog page, because people sometimes post comments in those sections complaining about other things, so I can read the comments and see whether or not anyone mentions the issue.

@sishy7 I believe that the notifications were late on this one. The Swagbutton didn't notify me until just before the code expired, because when I checked back about ten minutes later it said that there was no swagcode.

Oh wow, that makes sense! It may have been the case of "they say that it is there when it is not" - maybe just to entice me to go to that page and do some referral... I did go to the blog page, but didn't really see any mentions of it - that's why I gave up trying to figure it out there and came here for answers instead...

I've never figured that one out either. The worst part is no one I know bothers to join swag no matter what and the one that actually did has never been back to that site. I'll have to keep track of this post in case someone does have an answer for you.

You could be right @sishy7 I've rarely ever seen one in time to get the bonus. I've also noticed that swag is beginning to give a lot less in the shop & earn area, I think online earnings are waning ... too many want to earn and too few have the means to pay.

Well, so far no one did and some responses were from those who had been there for years... I'm beginning to think it was just a trick to get people to visit the referral page...

@BellaDoc I think what's not allowed is posting the referral link. But I've seen discussions about other earning sites on here where readers can talk or learn.

Some days I do well on there, other days it's like pulling teeth just to get a couple swagbucks. But overall, it's the site where I earn the quickest. I get bored really quick when I'm there though - kinda the opposite of when I'm here...

I don't take advantage of the swag codes on this site. I have tried out the offer money, it is a fast way to earn money.

Yes, I read your discussion on that - it's awesome that you're able to earn easily from the offer. I have yet to try any offers available to me on here.

Yes, most of the time that's what happened with me too. I was excited when I thought I got a 'live' alert for an active code. But turned out I could not even find it at all...

I Liked their page on Facebook, and whenever there is a swag code, people just share it--no hunting necessary! Since the codes usually expire quickly, you should chose the option to be notified when there's a new post (they aren't all about swag codes, but it will say so when they are, and then people just usually leave the code they found in the comments section).

Yes, I've always figured that it would probably be a lot easier for me to get codes if I have a Facebook account.
