I would like to think they'll maybe mix things up a little otherwise I guess I'll just stick to earning my codes with searches - that seems easier and less frustrating :) I downloaded and installed the toolbar and got the first code with no problem, but since I can only use that computer at home (we cannot install any software here at work), it’s basically been useless for me since then with the codes happening then expiring during mid-day/mid-afternoon.

Mid-afternoon seems to be when they most often come out though. There's one active on the toolbar right now...look for the icon that says "From TSG" and click it to find the messages. Also, it seems you can win SBs on a search about twice a day...approximately once every 12 hours. Referrals are the best way to make good use of this program...just get your friends to sign up under you and you can BOTH benefit. I've only been a member for about 3 months and have earned about $45 in Amazon gift cards so far.

Yesterday they gave less than an hour to do this, and I was away from my computer at the time--so, I didn't get my Swagbuck yesterday. It looks like they will be doing it again today (since I have yet to receive my code). So, just be aware that you will need to be on your computer at the right time of day in order to get your code.

I entered your Swagcode from the post (using proper casing) and it told me it was an invalid code. Is that because I wasn't signing up new. I haven't used one of your codes before, so I would think it would work. 2. I downloaded the toolbar, but can't tell if I got any points or not. Nor can I see the toolbar - any suggestions? 3. I shopped thru Swagbucks the other day to take advantage of the Books-a-Million sale. It said I should get a point for every 5 dollars spent. I spent just over $15, but didn't receive 3 points. Do you have to "claim" your points somewhere or should they just automatically get credited? Is there a way to contact Swagbucks to "claim" the points I should have got? Thanks to yourself and anyone else who has SB tips! Crystal,

Is it only for first-time sign-ups? Secondly, the September points aren't automatic, are they? It seems like they send you an e-mail via the toolbar and you have to catch it in time (and possibly figure out a riddle) in order to get the code. If I'm wrong, that's great news!
