Happy Birthday Swagbucks = BIG Rewards for New (and Existing Members)

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

As I mentioned last week, Swagbucks is turning 3 today, February 28th! In honor of the big day, Swagbucks is hosting a BIG party featuring lots of Swag Codes, a new look and feel for the Swagbucks Blog and the launch of two new features, one of which will redefine the way you use their search function.

Not familiar with Swagbucks?! Swagbucks.com is a site where you can earn 1,000s of free products for doing the things you do every day like searching the web, watching videos, playing games, shopping or more. And the best part…you’re rewarded with free stuff like Amazon gift cards, electronics and more.

Have you joined Swagbucks yet? If not, head over here to register (all new members automatically earn 30 Swagbucks when they register) plus use the code HipBirthday at the time of registration to snag an extra 50 Swagbucks (note that this code is only valid through today, 2/28, at 11:59PM EST)! That means new members will snag a whopping 80 Swagbucks just for signing up.

    Has anyone else had problems using the “trusted surveys?” I was able to use it once and then for 2 weeks straight it wont let me. It always says “We have experienced an error and your Survey dashboard may be temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.” I’ve filled out 2 customer support tickets, they said they were looking into it. I just wonder if anyone else has had this problem? If you have had it, were you able to fix it; and how?

    • fran

      Cally, I went through so much with the same problem, since day one of the launch of unTrusted Surveys. I was able to get in the first day, but not since then, only maybe a few times. They tell me nothing is wrong on my end, and that it’s only me. The few surveys that I did do, it took me months to get credit for them. I have NEVER gotten paid for a survey as soon as I did it, they told me it takes a month to credit…not true. I have read on their fb wall where people have done surveys and they got paid right away. I don’t do them now because it is a hassle to get paid for them.
      Here is a way that I AM able to get into trusted surveys. You know the emails they send you for surveys? Try clicking the link in the survey, that works for me. I was also not able to get the daily for months, but they finally fixed that. If this works for you, just keep the most recent email so you can get into T.S. when you want. Good luck πŸ˜€

      • Cally

        Thanks so much! I will have to try that. I don’t think I am currently getting emails for them, but I will double check.Thank you again!! πŸ™‚

        • fran

          You’re quite welcome πŸ˜€
          Also, on the left side of the home page, there are “quick links”, scroll to the bottom, and be sure to sign up for their newsletter.
          Do you know about the dailies, the 5 extra bucks you can earn daily?

    HipBirthday not working for me???

    • JennyOH

      Me neither – is it a new-member code only?

      • Celie

        yeap. only new members get the bonus signup code. It’s an incentive to sign up.

        • dlucas

          I am a new member…

  3. Shannon

    I would sure appreciate it if anyone wants to sign up under me. Make sure to add me as a friend afterwards because they clam that there will be rewards for that too. THANKS!!!!

  4. happy1038

    I registered as a new user on Swagbucks and the promo code HipBirthday did not get me 50 extra swagbucks.

  5. Linda

    Ok, I just signed up and I am really new to this stuff! It asks me to download a toolbar. Is that necessary? What exactly does it allow me to do with this site?

    • fran

      Sometimes there are codes in/on the toolbar. I use the toolbar to search, but you don’t have to, you can use the search bar on the home page. I also suggest you install the widget…this is good to check throughout the day to see if there’s a code. You also might want to put their fb page in your favorites. When you see a lot of “thank you, TSG”, that will be a clue that there is a code out, plus you can always get hints on the wall. It is against SBs rules to post an active code, so make sure you don’t do that, in an effort to help someone else.

    Does it take a very long time to get Amazon e-cards? I have been waiting for several for about 2 months now…

    • april

      it takes about 2 weeks or so…they should be in your account…on the swagbuck homepage click on view account…then on the left side of the screen they should be a ‘my gift card’ tab and when you open that your cards should be there…then you take the codes and add them to your amazon account

      hope that helps

      • Sarah M.

        Thanks! All this time I was waiting for them to be mailed to me. Can I use multiple codes on one purchase?

        • tdjp

          yes you may, i have used 3 or 4 codes when buying diapers with the deals to get them almost free. hth

        • fran

          Once you add all your codes to your Amazon account, Amazon views it as one lump sum and they will just deduct your total purchase from your Amazon account, unless you don’t want them to…then there’s something you click to pay another way.

  7. Gen

    Looks like we can print coupons through SB and get bucks for them. Cool!

    • Celie

      yeap, 10sb each!! I’ve redeemed many, it takes about 6-8 weeks for them to show up, but so far I’ve gotten 80sb from them since December. Still waiting for the other million :p

  8. Cally

    I thought I would share…for those of you that use Face Book, there is a page called Swag Bucks Tricks. They post tips on how to get codes and they post anytime they know of a code available. It has been helpful for me because I’m pretty new. Here is the link…
    https://www.facebook.com/swagbucks#!/SwagBucksTricks

    • Cally

      hmm not sure why the link is not posting right. But do a search for Swag Bucks Tricks and you will see it.

  9. Heather O

    Collin–Can I pass on the HipBirthday code or is it tied to your blog only?

    • fran

      You can pass it on!
      The code is only good for new members, it’s not a code for existing members.

  10. fran

    THERE IS A CODE OUT…CHECK THE BLOG ON THE HOME PAGE.

    • andrea

      Found it, thanks so much!!!!

    • Trish

      Blog won’t open for me. =(

      • fairydust

        keep trying – I think everyone’s trying to look at it for the code right now πŸ™‚

      • Robyn

        Blog won’t open for me either! I think the swagbucks site is getting slammed. The big birthday celebration might turn out to be a bust!

      • Jen

        Hit your refresh button. I think they’re getting swamped. Worked second time for me.

    • fairydust

      thank you – got it!!

    • Eli

      I’ve read all the blog posts from today and yesterday and don’t see a code?!?!?!?!

  11. Kelly

    I have an extra Amazon code for 20% off diapers if anyone want it leave ur email πŸ™‚

    • Jen

      I would love the amazon code! Thanks! djmanwaring at yahoo dot com

    • rebekah

      nevermind πŸ™‚

    • Carrie

      I would very much appreicate it…one in diapers and another one on the way.
      My email address is lastfamily@iowatelecom.net

  12. fran

    Swag Bucks
    Don’t worry, folks – the first code will be moving to a new location shortly – stay tuned to your widgets!

  13. Dawn

    I am still confused about how all this Swagbucks works and widgets, etc. WHY would I want to spend time searching for silly codes??? Help!

    • Tracy

      Because it’s fun! You also earn Swagbucks for the codes. There is one out right now on the blog….go get it and enter it on the homepage, where it says “gimme” πŸ™‚

    • fran

      Dawn, there’s nothing saying you have to search for codes, but they sure add up, in the long run. Some of the codes are ridiculous, in my opinion, like the ones you have to hunt for and they only pay, say 5 SBs. But then there are others, like the one that is active now, where you just have to c/p the code into the “gimme” box, and you have another 10 bucks. There are other ways to earn bucks, besides searching and getting codes. I pick and choose how I want to earn my SBs. HTH!
      If you need further info, just ask away πŸ˜€

  14. AshATL

    I am a member, but do not understand getting codes off of the blog. I just checked it on my iphone, but I see no codes. How do I get them? Where exactly are they posted on the blog. The site is blocked at work, so I only have my iphone browser…

    • fran

      See my comment, 2 up from yours…they moved the code from the blog.

  15. robin

    Maybe I’m just stupid but where on the blog am I suppose to find this code? I’m not saying to give me the code but in the right direction πŸ™‚

    I have been on the blog but can’t seem to find where I go to look.

    • Eli

      Me too! I’ve read the blog but don’t see any code?!??!

  16. RH

    Love Swag bucks!!! Go here to create an account!!! https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/rlh_3

    i have already earned $15 in amazon.com gift cards, and I have not been a member long.

  17. Organic Cents

    I am trying to keep up with the codes and post them on my blog. So far only 1 code although it has been in 2 location. It is worth 11 swagbucks!

  18. TheCouponGirl

    Call me crazy but isn’t it a bit rude for everyone to post their referral code when Collin posted her code for her readers? Collin does so much for the community of frugal shoppers that I think she deserves some respect. Just my thoughts… πŸ™‚

  19. AshATL

    Ugh! The Mickey Mouse code is gone already!

    • Tina

      You got it. =)

  20. Jen

    I just earned 11 SB by searching “Happy Birthday to Swagbucks”!! My 2nd win for searches this morning!

  22. blhb21

    Wondering if someone can help me with the cryptogram… I have only found 3 letters (the 1st, 8th, and 10th) on the blog. i can’t find any of the others, and wondered where I need to look. If someone can help me, please email me at blhb21@yahoo.com. Thanks!

      • blhb21

        Thank you so much! I would have never found them!

    Swag Bucks
    Code hunt! This code will start out valued at 24SB, but it will decrease 3SB every fifteen minutes! That means, if you redeem the code in the last 15 minutes it will only be worth half (12 Swag Bucks) of what it started out with. So how can you find this code? Head over to SBTV and search for a video that is appropriately themed for today! Hurry, every minute counts!

    • LD

      Well I have been looking and looking lol and nothing in the sbtv area so far . Hope we dont have to acually watch a video to find it ,that could be no one getting it lol

      • fran

        You do have to watch the video, and you will see the code below the video.

        • Mrs.Hall

          I just don’t see a video appropriately themed for today πŸ™ I have never been good at these hunts πŸ™

          AND OMG I just figured it out..gots me 15 SB!

          • fran

            Go into SBTV and in their search bar, search “birthday”. You will have a few video to go through…good luck.

  24. robin

    Why are these so hard to find? I am being very patient and still can’t find it πŸ™

  25. Organic Cents

    I heard a buzz that the video is Celebrity Birthday Planner: February, but I am not seeing anything…

    • andrea

      It is. I saw nothing using google chrome but it shows up using FIREFOX.

    • LD

      I watched the video twice and see nothing . uggg now that I change browser it is expired lol these swaghunts are so frustrating I had forgotten why I quit hunting them lol

  26. robin

    I give up. I have watched everyone that has to do with birthdays and nothing!

    I ended up seeing some code and entered it and said it wasn’t right πŸ™ This was before it expired. Maybe this has something to do with firefox?

    • andrea

      Try celebrity birthday planner but use firefox as your browser.

  27. fran

    Go to FB wall, filter “Swagbucks”…he is giving the link to the video.

  28. robin

    Looks like I was using the right code but it still didn’t work for me and I was using firefox πŸ™

  29. JAMIE

    i finally gave in and signed up. thanks, collin. i would never have paid attention until you reminded me about the program.

    ATTN: For those of you who were unable to get the SBTV code, check out today’s Daily Discussion. If you find what TSGal put on after her toaster broke, you’ll get 15SB! No spaces – All lower case. You can only redeem this code if you did not get the SBTV code. You have until 11:40am PST.

    • LD

      LOl I cant even figure out where the daily discussion is ? Oh my this is crazy I think when they had less it was easier to navigate.

      • fran

        Go to their fb page and on the left side you will see “discussions”

  31. robin

    Thank you!

  32. Janelle

    Thanks Fran. I had no idea!

    • fran

      You’re welcome πŸ˜€

  33. fran

    Check your widget for a clue to the new code!

    • Stacy

      How do I install the widget? I tried copying it to my blog, but I’m not very blog savvy and couldn’t get it in!

      • fran

        Go to left side of home page, you will see quick links, scroll down and you will see widget.

        The widget is installed on my fb profile page, but then it gets too bogged down with posts. What I did was, I clicked the symbol below, and the widget comes up on another page, then I put that page in my favorites. This way, I just have to click in my favorites, and there is my widget.
        I don’t know how to get it to your blog, but if you check way back in “discussions” on fb wall, you will be able to find out how to do it.

          Thanks Fran! You are the Swagbucks queen!

          • fran

            You’re welcome, Stacy!
            Did you get it to work for you, and were you able to get the code?

            • Stacy

              Yes, I did and I got the code! Thank you so much. I marked that page as a favorite too, great idea!

  35. al

    hi, i m new to this, can anyone tell me how to get the 50 extra swaybucks, i put in Hipbirthday in the code box, but it doesnt take. thanks.

    • fran

      Al, are you just joining now? This code is for new members only.

      • al

        hi fran, yes, i just joined today, Can you help, i dont want to loose the 50 extra points. thanks.

        • fran

          Al, when you signed up, did you sign up using Collin’s code? That’s the only way you would get the bonus. You can’t sign up under someone else’s referral, and then use Collin’s code.

          • al

            hi fran, i clicked the above (collin’s site )to register. i probably goofed somewhere. thanks so much for responding so quickly. i m ready to give up. thanks anyways.

            • fran

              From what I understand, you have to sign up first before you go clicking around…maybe that’s what you did.
              Don’t give up yet! You know, you might want to try to contact SBs to let them know what happened. Who knows, they might be able to give you your bonus and give Collin credit for you signing up. You have nothing to lose.

  36. fran

    Check the blog for the cryptogram code for 50 bucks. Also, check the fb wall and filter Swagbucks for more clues…good luck.

  37. Dylan

    I figured I might as well throw mine out there too:
    https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/RuebixPenguin

    The site it great! I’ve been a member for just over a month and have earned $40 in Amazon gift cards! My New Years Resolution was to find ways to save money – it started with me finding Collin’s blog (which is awesome!) and has lead to so many other cool savings opportunities. If anyone signs up with my link and wants me to email them some tips about how to make the most of your SwagBucks account (I earned 3 $5 Amazon gift cards in the past four days), please do. You can email me at Ruebix78 at yahoo. Thanks!

  38. TXWife

    Thanks Collin! I just won 50 Swagbucks for searching hip2save…hehe. πŸ™‚
