There’s a new way to get referrals at Swagbucks. This is a good thing for few reasons:
- If you are earning free gift cards with Swag Bucks, don’t you want to let your friends in on the freebies too?
- Every time your referral earns Swag Bucks you’ll earn matching Swag Bucks up to 1000 SB!
- As if free swag isn’t enough to put a smile on all of your friends faces, this referral system is sure to get them laughing.
Here’s how it works:
- Enter your friend’s First Name, Last Name and the city where they live. Then pick an interest of theirs from the drop down menu.
- Once you’ve selected an interest, you’ll get some options for customizing the spoof – each spoof has a different number of choices for customization. For example, the Movies and TV spoof I selected below offers me up to four blank fields to fill out. Others may have just two fixed choices.
- Once you’ve filled everything out, click the “Preview Spoof” button and you’ll see the page that you’ll send to your friend – a customized Swagbucks search results page all about them and their interest! Keep in mind that none of links work in preview mode – don’t worry – they’ll work just fine when you generate the actual custom url. Of course, your friend will realize after looking for a second that these results are utterly ridiculous – the best part is that each spoof generates different results.
- Once you’ve previewed the page and decided that you’re satisfied, click “Generate Custom URL” and you’ll be taken to a page that looks like this:
As you can see, it gives you a link to send your unsuspected friend along with some suggested text from us. If you don’t care for what we wrote, write your own! You know best how to trick your friend. You send out the email yourself, not us, so you have total control. When they open the link and try to click on any of the search results, they get taken to the page below.
This page has two ways to turn a friend into a referral:
1. They can click the Swagbucks prize bundle at the bottom of the screen to sign up directly
OR
2. They can create their own Spoof by clicking “Get Started!” but will be unable to send it until they register for an account.
No matter which way they go, they’ll be signing up under your referral link, and probably giggling to themselves when they do it.
