Referrals: Unlimited referrals. Referrals earn matching swag bucks from search wins ONLY up to a maximum of 1,000 Swagbucks. No invite necessary to join.

Tricks: Video and game rewards are both calculated by the amount of time the page is open without regard for whether it's interacted with or even whether the flash file actually loads. However, timed-refresh autoloaders are easily caught and the resulting account banned, and some rewards may require surprise CAPTCHAs so it's impossible to earn these swagbucks without some babysitting even if you don't actually watch/play.

PTC Recommendation: Excellent
