SwagCode Tutorial - Swidget/Toolbar Code
Did you sign up to Swag Bucks yet? Don't even know what a Swag Buck is?
This is a tutorial on how to find the Swag Codes:Every once in a while, you should check the Swidget.
It is located in the right hand column of this blog,
down near the bottom of the page
and looks like the picture to the left.
What you do is click on the black SC Swag Code Button along the bottom, and a blue button that says
"Check if there's a Swag Code"
will pop up in the middle of the Swidget.
When I clicked on that today, a Swag Code message was there -
"Code in the toolbar - Until 1:30 PDT"
So up to the toolbar I go to check it out.
I click on the part of the toolbar that says
"From TSG [0]" -
when there is a message it changes to "From TSG [1]"
If it seems like there is nothing there, click on the red box next to it, and you should find your message inside.
If not, try refreshing the toolbar.
Click on the tiny upside-down triangle next to the SwagBucks logo.
In the drop-down menu, you will see Refresh Toolbar, click that.
If you still don't see it, click on an old message, and then click on the red word «NEWER
OK, so when you click on the
"From TSG [1]"
a drop-down opened with a message title that today said
"Happy Star Wars Release Day"
Click on the message title.
A message will open up in your browser.
Today it says:
"Enter UseTheForce8E2yzOq for 4 Swag Bucks until 1:30 pm PDT"
So the Swag Code for today was "UseTheForce8E2yzOq" - it's worth 4 Swag Bucks and you have till 1:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time (or 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time) to submit it!
So then you go the the SwagBucks.com home page and on the right hand side you will see a box like this one shown left. In the white box under "Enter your Swag Code", paste in your code.
Make sure when you copy and paste the code that there aren't any spaces on either side of the code - or it won't work.
Now click the "Gimme" button. If you have put in the right code correctly, it will then say "You just received 4 Swag Bucks"!
And now you are 4 Swag Bucks richer!
If you are having trouble getting the code to be accepted, here's a hint:
Sometimes the code is dynamic, which means it changes every 20 seconds, so refresh again for another code, and copy and paste quickly. Having two browser windows or tabs open, so you can copy the code from one tab and paste to the Gimme Box in the other tab - will usually help.
Any questions you have that I didn't answer?
