My final update is posted below. I just wanted to sign on today, May 5, 2016, and let you know that if you want to use the resources of sbcodez.com to help maximize your earnings, it will be worth your time. I have used the site plenty of times. That said, their moderator, "to the left," is the biggest fucking prick in the world. Fact.
And on Dec. 26, 2018, I signed on for giggles, as I hadn't looked at this blog for a long time. Lots of spambots posted comments on my articles during the past two years, I learned. Things have changed at Swagbucks, yet it is still cranking out rewards. I don't use it much any more, but I still cash in occasionally. And "to the left" is still an asshole.
Once again I have signed in, despite not remembering my user email and password. It's April 2, 2020, and SBCodez still provides a lot of info to help you earn Swagbucks and points on other platforms. "to the left" continues to hang around, and continues to be a complete arrogant asshole. But hey, s/he's the queen/king of her/his little world, so I'm sure s/he's very happy acting all superior and shit. What a fuckhead.
Feel free to share this information with others. If I have a new update, I will try to let you know right here, up top.
FINAL UPDATE: (Feb. 21, 2016) This info is a bit outdated. A lot of the basic info still applies, but more than two years ago I had to give up chasing Swagbucks the slow, painful ways. I still picked up the occasional points via searches, but my earnings were tiny on a month-to-month basis.
Then, more than a year after that, I was back at it. Armed with a smart phone, for the first time in my life, I was able to stream videos via six Swagbucks-affiliated apps. People had been doing it for quite some time, I had read, but I had never looked into it, despite the fact I had owned a smart phone for months. Suddenly I was earning points faster than ever, and with less effort than the slow painful ways of 3-4 years ago. I have banked more than a few hundred dollars since May 2015 toward a trip I'm taking in the fall of 2016. It's a great feeling to have many of my expenses paid for already with savings courtesy of Swagbucks.
I created this blog to try to help out the folks I had somewhat recruited to Swagbucks. None of them were that interested, ultimately.
This blog has had its share of hits, but like I said, it's old news, and not that helpful in 2016. I have had no reason to update it, despite the fact I have been very active since September 2014.
But I'll leave my content online, because once or twice a year it's fun for me to look back at this blog and remember how much effort I use to put into trying to earn 75 cents every damn day via Swagbucks.
