EDIT: The code below is no longer valid.
Please raise your hand if you've never heard of Swagbucks. Holy moly, why are so many of you holding your hands up?
For anybody who is new to HIF, SB is basically Google + prizes. You search with them just as you would with Google, but the key difference occurs when you win swag bucks, which can be redeemed for gift cards, books, sports memorabilia, video games, school supplies – you name it, they've got it. Unless you just named pet turtles. I don't think they have those.
Well the bigwigs at Swagbucks are releasing some new features and as a result, have offered new users from HIF a free swag code that gives them 2 free points. Couple that with the automatic 3 free points you'll get for signing up and that's…uh…hold on, let me find my calculator.
The code is freeswagcode (in all lower caps) and expires on 9/10/09.
Like I said, SB has some new features, for new and old users alike. One is a toolbar that is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. The cool thing about the bar is that, for the entire month of September, SB will release an exclusive free swagcode each day on it! That's 30 free swag bucks by the end of the month! An Amazon giftcard costs only 45 points, so toss in whatever points you've already earned and you'll most likely have enough to get it!
They've also got a version of Bingo coming out called SWAGO where you can play and win points. It hasn't been released yet, but you can check out their blog this week and get all the details there. And as always, their Twitter and Facebook accounts are pretty good sources for unique codes as well.
So there ya go! Put all those hands down now and enjoy winning prizes on Swagbucks. 🙂

Loving Swagbucks and loving HIF! After just one month I have almost enough Swagbucks for two free $5 Amazon cards. (I would have more than enough but I have wasted a lot of bucks on Swagstakes. But, what the heck, if you’re going to gamble you might as well do it with free money, right?) Thanks so much, Goob!
it worked for me at first i have 14 swagbucks, but the last few days have not recieved any new codes?
I downloaded the tool bar and I received the first swagcode. This was 2 days ago, and I have not seen any codes since. Do they stay up all day? Where can they be found. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I just signed in today the code worked for me
unter – under, same difference LOL
Lauren,
You should just be able to copy and paste those codes on the main page unter Enter a Swag Code. It doesn’t tell you that they worked or anything, your number just goes up. I put the nominiation code in there and it worked. I hope you get it to work for you!
Won’t work for me either, and I just signed up too. 🙁
The code worked for me too. It doesn’t actually tell you that you got 3 additional Swagbucks, it just shows up that you have 5 when you get in there.
Thanks for letting us know about this Goob! I’m all for money for nothing 😉
Ey goob you should update your post and have them use this code CASHISKING it gives 5 swagbucks, not 2 =)
Comment By Goob: That code didn’t work for me.
At first i copied and pasted the code and it didnt work… I then typed it in and it worked…
Goob!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to thank you so much for introducing me to Swagbucks…………………..I won the Fatheads sweeps and am receiving 290.00 worth of wall decals. One of Steve Smith, the other of the Panthers helmet and the other is the Panthers Logo!! (you know I always try to get stuff for my husband since I picked out a tshirt that I won on your site for him, and we could not be happier!!!!!!!!!) Thanks again! Sandy
Mike if you download the toolbar, it will be in ur messages there.
Help! This is the second time I tried to sign up and it keeps saying my email address is in the wrong format. Can someone give me a hint?
JJ, where can I find the code of the day. And the code of freeswagcode is not working for me either.
Thanks!
I just signed up today and the code worked for me.
ok so i just entered in THEIR code of the day and it worked. But Goob yours isnt working for me. It says enter a valid code. And i typed it all lower case as well.
Actually Swago HAS been released but it only comes with the back to school prizes so far. See: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-swago
I’ve been using swagbucks or a few month. Love it. have cashed out few times. I’ve gotten a macy’s card, paypal cash.
Thanks for the tip!!!
i just signed up and used the code and it didn’t work…I literally copy/pasted the code you posted..
I was among those with “hands raised” not knowing what this was about. Now, I have 7 swag bucks…from sign-up this afternoon until now! Thanks!
I’ve grown to really like SwagBucks. So far I’ve gotten $45. in Amazon gift cards, a SwagBucks tee, and some other gift card that I no longer remember, and with only one referral ( my wife, whose account got b7 on account of the fact that we live in the same house ) and I only use it once or twice a day. It’s been basically zero work and I get paid a good deal for it! 😀
Thanks again, Goob!
Just heard back from Swagbucks. It seems the code is working, as over 100 Hiffers have used it so far.
Are you sure you’re typing in the code in all small letters?
Swagbucks is awesome. I’ve racked up several Amazon gift cards, a restaurant.com gift card, and i’m about to cash in for a paypal gift card… FREE MONEY EVERYONE!
I love Swagbucks! I’ve already gotten $30 in Amazon giftcards, and I owe it all to Goob! Thanks man. I just wish they had the advance features that Google search has.
I’ve emailed Swagbucks about the problem, I’ll let y’all know as soon as I hear back from them.
I just signed up a few minutes ago and I cannot get ANY of the codes to work. Maybe there is a bug?
Glad everybody has enjoyed Swagbucks so far! I too have gotten a ton of Amazon gift cards 🙂
The code mentioned in this post is for new members only. I’ll make the post a bit clearer.
Are other new members (people who signed up today) having trouble with the code?
Thank you for telling people about swagbucks. I started using it about a year ago, (prompted by one of your posts,) and it is FANTASTIC. I seriously don’t know why people turn it down. I’ve gotten a t-shirt and a trading card from the store, and $85 IN AMAZON GIFT CARDS! Thanks for the AWESOME suggestion!
oops, I meant to say the code you mentioned does not give a SWAGBUCK
(silly me)

Hey Goob, I have been using swagbucks for my searches for awhile now, ever since you mentioned it a few months ago. I use my swagbucks to enter the swagstakes. I got a swagbuck for installing the new toolbar today, but the code you mentioned on your site does not give a swagcode. Thanks for all you do!!
Are you guys new members or existing members?
Code doesn’t work!
The code dosent work for me 🙁
