The prices of Swag Store items are based on several indicators, including availability; cost of prize acquisition; shipping fees; and the dollar value of Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks do not have a preset value, but like other commodities may fluctuate according to the number in circulation, relative demand, and other external factors.

You can only redeem prizes on the site(s) where you've earned your Swag Bucks. If you've used multiple Swag Bucks-powered sites, you may want to visit the section titled "My Swag Bucks" in your account. There you can find a complete breakdown of your Swag Bucks account and how many Swag Bucks are available for you to spend, and on which particular site.

Swag Bucks earned on one site cannot be used or transferred to another site. To ensure you are maximizing your Swag Bucks earnings, be sure to use the Search&Win site that has the prizes you want, at the best possible prices.

When you refer a friend and they sign up with the link you send them, you are awarded matching Swag Bucks (within 48 hours) only for the Bucks they win while searching (up to a total of 1,000). You are not, however, awarded matching Bucks for those earned as a sign-up bonus, through Shop&Earn, from our trade-in programs, from entering Swag Codes, from Swagstakes, from friends of friends, or from any other method.

Yes! You can earn multiple Swag Bucks after you've received your prize in the mail. Simply send a photo of yourself and your Swag Store prize to prizephoto@swagbucks.com and 10 Swag Bucks will be credited to your account within approximately 7 to 14 business days. Please remember that YOU must be in the photo with your prize to be accepted. You can send in a total of five photos.

You can also film a video of yourself unboxing your prize from its shipping material. All you have to do is upload your video to www.youtube.com and send the url link of your video As with the photo to prizephoto@swagbucks.com and we will credit your account with 20 Swag Bucks!

Your picture/video may appear in one or more of the following pages: Swag Bucks homepage, blog, Swag Bucks Flickr page, facebook wall, twitter feed, etc.

We pay for all shipping that originates in the United States. Simply print the shipping label and attach it to the front of your package. If you are shipping from Canada or the UK, or would like to have your package tracked or insured, then you will need to make your own shipping arrangements.

You will receive a "Package Received" E-Mail from our partners at BRE Software. This message will be sent to the E-Mail Address as entered on your transaction. Please watch your Bulk/Spam folders as these messages are sometimes misrouted by your ISP, spam software, or E-Mail program.

We only accept North American/NTSC games/consoles, and we DO NOT accept European/PAL games. If you do not know what type of game you have, chances are it is the NTSC if you are in the US or Canada and PAL if you are in the UK.

If you are using the pre-paid postage label provided on the confirmation page, it will generally take approximately 4-6 weeks from the time your package is sent to the time you receive your Swag Bucks. Due to the way the post office processes the pre-paid postage labels, packages sent using these labels take an additional 3-5 working days to get to us.

You can send in broken games and consoles, however there is no guarantee you will receive any Swag Bucks. If you send in a broken console then it's possible there are parts or accessories that still work, and we will gladly award you Swag Bucks for them.

No, but you won't receive as many Swag Bucks for the trade-in. You will be shown two different prices for each game - one will be with box and instructions, the other without box and/or instructions. If you choose the first option with box and instructions but either is missing when your game is received then you will receive a reduced amount of Swag Bucks.

At this time we do not accept PC or Mac Games for the Video Game Trade-In program.

Unfortunately we cannot send you a shipping label if yours does not print. You don't need to use the shipping label we provide, however if you don't then you will need to cover the cost of shipping.

• Brand New books must be in perfect condition to be considered new. This means an unbroken spine, no writing or highlighting, no bent or dented corners, no scratches on the cover, no torn pages - basically, no wear or damage to the book whatsoever.
• Used Books must be in at least "good" condition. A used book is considered in good condition even when it contains highlighting, notes, or other markings (with the exception of study guides, workbooks, and law books, which must be clean). However, books must be generally clean in appearance with no torn or missing pages and with the cover in good condition. Used items that originally contained CDs, software, or other supplemental materials (also if unused access to online resources, study guides, etc.) must be sent with the textbook. The spine of the book must be intact and in good condition. Books with broken spines and loose or missing pages will be discarded and will not be bought back.

• US Edition Textbooks: These are the most typical books you find and include paperbacks, hardbacks, textbooks, and non-textbook items.
• International Edition Books: Sometimes softcover, these books may have "ISE" printed on the spine, or the front cover may contain "International Edition" markings. This information will also appear on the title page of the book.
• Complimentary Textbooks / Free Copy / Sample Textbooks: These books are considered USED. We can only pay the used price even if the book is new. This is standard throughout the industry, as we cannot resell the book as new. They will contain markings or imprinted stamps displayed on the front or back cover, such as "Complimentary Copy," "Free Copy," "Instructor's Edition," or "Not for Sale." Please note that books marked "Instructor's Edition" with all answers to even AND odd questions are considered annotated and will be checked in and paid at the annotated edition price.
• Annotated I nstructor's Editions: These are often marked as "Annotated Instructor's Edition" or "AIE" and usually contain answers and/or instructor's notes.
• Eastern Economy/Low Price/I ndian Edition Textbooks: These books are a subset of international edition textbooks that are commonly softcover, printed on cheap paper, and contain only black and white photos and illustrations. Please note that we do not buy back Eastern Economy/Low Price/Indian Edition textbooks.

Enter the US student edition ISBN and choose the correct edition from the drop down menu to the right. If there is no drop down menu, we're not currently purchasing that edition.

• Books with water damage
• Books with spine damage
• Books with loose or missing pages
• Books with torn or taped covers
• Study guides/workbooks with any highlighting/writing
• Books missing their required supplements
• Eastern Economy Editions
• Open loose-leaf editions; they must be in the original shrink wrap
• One time use only items such as access codes and CDs
• Custom edition textbooks (typically has a school name listed)
• CDs and movies

Swag Bucks paid are based on the condition, edition, and ISBN of the book when it is received in our warehouse. If the condition, edition, or ISBN received does not match what you've submitted, your quote will be adjusted. Please give accurate information about your book and pack your shipment well. Once you send your books, they cannot be returned for any reason. Our staff tries to be as lenient as possible with every buyback book we receive, and we like to buy as many books as possible. If a book requires minor repair to a sellable condition, we will make the repair and the price paid will be slightly adjusted. We try to be as liberal as possible when checking-in the books. A sturdy box may make all the difference in how your book is rated.

If you send a book that we do not buy back, the book will be recycled. Some examples of books that we do not buy back are water damaged books; books with damaged bindings (e.g., pages loose, missing, or falling out); defective books; and books wth torn/taped covers, law books or study guides/workbooks with any highlighting/writing.

If the value of your trade in is over 600 Swag Bucks we will provide you with a prepaid and trackable shipping label that you can print out from your computer. Delivery Confirmation is included with the label, so you can verify that the item successfully arrived at our location. The cost of this label is billed to us, so you never have to worry about it.

Please be sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have this software you can obtain a free copy from Adobe.

After your buyback order is received, it usually takes 10-14 business days to check-in your books plus an additional 21 business days to issue Swag Bucks payment. During peak buyback periods, processing may take longer. Peak periods are usually late December through January and late May through June.

We will grade the books we receive in the condition received and make any necessary adjustments to the amount paid. We cannot pay you for items that arrive bent, mangled, torn, or otherwise dismembered. TextbooksRus.com will not pay you for books we do not receive. Damage incurred during shipping does not happen very often. However, every time we've received a damaged buyback it's been due to woefully poor packaging.

Pricing is based entirely on demand. We can usually beat your local college bookstore on price, since your bookstore will only pay you a low wholesale rate unless they can immediately sell the item. Additionally, we have the largest buyback catalog on the web, so we can almost always make an offer.

Earning exclusive prizes from Swagbucks.com is as easy as following this simple 3-step process.

1. Sign up or login to your account.

2. Select one of the partnering online retailers found here.

3. Earn 2 Swag Buck for every dollar you spend! Use available coupons as an added savings on top of your Swag Bucks rewards.

It can take up to 32 days for your Swag Bucks to appear in your account due to some stores confirming your purchase until the return period for the purchased product has elapsed. Most stores are able to report your purchase as soon as the product ships. Once the store sends us the purchase details we will notify you through email that your Swag Bucks are available in your account. If you do not see these bucks in your account you will have 60 days to open up a ticket with customer support. Orders over 60 days cannot be investigated.

No! We can't give Swag Bucks for the portion of a purchase that is made with gift cards or certificates. Nor can we give Swag Bucks for the purchase of gift certificates or gift cards, with the exception of certain stores.

While you technically do not need to login in order to shop in the Shop&Earn Mall, you will not be awarded Swag Bucks for your purchases unless you login prior to beginning your shopping experience.

Virtually every item you purchase through our site qualifies for Swag Bucks. We cannot, however, give Swag Bucks for taxes, shipping, or any portion of a purchase that is paid for with coupons, gift certificates or a store credit. Any purchase of products and services in which the transaction is substantially completed by telephone does not qualify for Swag Bucks. In addition, a few cases where merchants have specifically noted that they will not pay Swag Bucks are listed below.

In cooperation with our stores, we provide you with specials and coupons that you can combine with Swag Bucks for maximum savings. We provide you with an extensive list of merchant specials and coupons. If you choose to use coupons and specials that are not listed on our site, we cannot guarantee that you will be eligible to receive any Swag Bucks on your purchases.

Furthermore, please be advised that coupons and special offers listed on our site are subject to change. Restrictions may apply. We try to present the most accurate offers but cannot make guarantees due to the time-sensitive nature of these promotions.

We do not recommend using alternative payment methods during checkout, since we cannot ensure that Swag Bucks will be earned if Google Checkout or Paypal is used as the method of payment for your purchase.

Gift Cards are excluded for most stores.

Auctions: Auction purchases from merchant sites (excluding Bidz.com) do not qualify for Swag Bucks.

In-Store Pickup: Purchases made online but picked up at the merchant store do not qualify for Swag Bucks.

Merchant Catalogs: Any order for a merchant catalog is not eligible for Swag Bucks.

Prescriptions: Purchases of prescription medications are not eligible for Swag Bucks rewards in the shopping program.

We work daily to ensure our members will enjoy a variety of goods and services from quality merchants. If you would like to recommend a store, let us know by emailing us at shopandearn@swagbucks.com.

Returns, exchanges or cancellations are subject to the policies of the store from which you made your purchase. If you return, exchange or cancel an item, we have to reverse any Swag Bucks earned from that sale.

Instead of exchanging an item, please return the item and then purchase again as a separate transaction. Remember you must first click thru our site before making the purchase at a store.

If you return an item that you purchased through the Swagbucks.com Shop & Earn mall the amount of bucks that the purchase is worth will be deducted from your account. 30 days after the purchase, and the retailer has verified the return (or partial return), you will be re-credited with the bucks that had been deducted.

Swag Codes are strings of alphanumeric text that you can apply for instant Swag Bucks.

Swag Codes can appear anywhere, and at any time, throughout the Swag Bucks network. This includes, but is not limited to, Swagbucks.com; any Swag Bucks powered Search&Win Site; the Official Swag Bucks Facebook, Twitter and Flickr pages; the Swag Bucks Blog and newsletter; any affiliated partner site.

Swag Codes can be redeemed by entering the Codes into the Swag Codes box on your My Account page. Swag Codes are case sensitive - you must enter the Code exactly as you find it in order to snag the bonus Swag Buck(s).

Swag Codes can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. In some cases, Swag Codes are limited not by time, but by the number of people that may redeem the Codes. Whenever a Swag Code is released, we make an effort to clearly identify the expiration time and/or amount of total redemptions available.

Swag Codes tend to occur once a day, however there is NO GUARANTEE that Swag Codes will be introduced every day. There will be days in which no Swag Codes are available, and other days in which multiple Codes are awarded.

Most Swag Codes are worth 1 bonus Swag Buck but may rise in value as determined by The Swag Guy and Team Swag Bucks. We make an effort to identify the value of a Code at the time it is made available.

NO! Swag Codes are meant to be discovered and applied individually. Swagbucks.com expressly prohibits the sharing of Swag Codes in any manner whatsoever. This includes, but is not limited to, posting active Swag Codes on Facebook, message boards, blog comments or any other website; hosting a site that allows Swag Codes to be posted; emailing active Swag Codes, or participating in any online and offline properties whose chief purpose is the distribution of active Swag Codes, or permits active Swag Codes to be divulged.

Swagbucks.com encourages users to help each other find Swag Codes through giving hints. However, there are some types of hints which are considered inappropriate and which may result in disciplinary action against the offending user(s).

The general rule of thumb is that a hint may help others find the Code, but must NOT help the user "figure out" the Code without actually finding it.

For example, if there was a Swag Code hidden in a blog post, it would be permissible to say 'read the last blog post and pay attention to all the bolded text'. Conversely, it would be inappropriate to write 'the Code rhymes with "X" but starts with the letter "Y" instead of "Z".

In many cases, the reason a Swag Code is not rewarding you with Swag Bucks is because you have entered the Swag Code improperly. Check to make sure that you have entered the Code exactly as it has been given. If you have copied and pasted the Code, be sure that you have not inadvertently added an extra space either before or after the alphanumeric sequence.

Other reasons why a Swag Code may not be working for you include the possibility that the Code is expired or that you are attempting to enter the Code on the wrong website. Certain Swag Codes may only be applied on particular websites (i.e. Swagbucks.com, or any of our partnering Search&Win sites).

From time to time, Swag Bucks may award an exclusive Swag Codes to 3rd party websites. In most cases, those Codes will be applicable only by new users during initial registration. If you see a Swag Codes being offered on a non-Swag Bucks site and you suspect that the Code is not valid, please shoot an email right away to support@swagbucks.com.

If you have a blog or website that you would like considered for a Swag Code, please send an email to info@swagbucks.com

Please note that Swag Codes are awarded entirely at our discretion. Swag Bucks reserves the right to award Codes at the time and place of our choosing.

Each survey that you chose to engage with may have a different Swag Bucks payout. In general, the more targeted a survey is, the higher the payout. We will identify for each survey the amount of Swag Bucks that may be earned for completion of each given survey.

There is no limit on how many surveys you can participate in.

Swag Bucks surveys are generally targeted to specific communities of individuals based on demographic data such as age, occupation, personal interest, etc. In most cases, we must solicit data prior to putting you into a "panel" to ensure that you meet all eligibility requirements.
Please note that if you complete a pre-screener it is not a guarantee that you will be eligible to participate in the survey. On your survey user panel you will find a percentage likelihood that you qualify for participation based on the limited information we have about you.

Completing "deeper profiles" helps Swag Bucks alert you only to surveys for which you qualify. These profiles also help us serve you with more targeted surveys which have significantly higher Swag Bucks payouts.

Immediately upon completing a survey, your account will be credited with "pending" Swag Bucks. Your Swag Bucks will become active after we verify that you have participated fully and honestly with the questionnaire. In some cases, this can take several days to a couple of weeks.

If it is determined that you have only partially completed a survey, or that you have provided knowingly false information, you may be denied Swag Bucks for participating in a survey.
If it has been a month since completing a survey and you still have not earned Swag Bucks, please shoot an email to support@Swagbucks.com.

Swag Bucks Surveys requires some personal information, such as name, email address, zip codes, and other household information. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the more rewarding and customizable your experience with Swag Bucks Surveys will be.

Swag Bucks collects valuable information that assists in developing new products and services. Personal information that you are asked to provide during Swag Bucks surveys will not be shared with any other party unless specifically stated otherwise. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than Swag Bucks, you will be notified by the time of the data collection or transfer. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.

As a general rule, Swag Bucks will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or User Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared.
Swag Bucks may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Swag Bucks Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Swag Bucks rights or property, other Swag Bucks users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Swag Bucks may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

No. In some instances, you may be presented with a special offer which requires sharing some personal information (typically email address) with a 3rd party web site. These offers are always voluntary in nature, and will always be accompanied by an explanation of the manner in which your information may be used.

You may edit your Swag Bucks account information at any time by logging in to your Swag Bucks account and visiting the My Profile page.

To change any personal information related to your Swag Bucks account, you will need to go to the My Profile section of your account. Once there, you can change your email address, password, and physical address.

Your security question is in place to prevent others from compromising your account. We will ask you the answer to this question in the event that we need to confirm your identity as the account owner. Once this answer is chosen, it cannot be changed under any circumstances, so make sure you remember it or write it down.

Swag Names are permanent and cannot be changed once selected.

If you forget your password, simply enter your registered email address in the log in box and click "Forgot My Password." You will then receive an email with instructions and a link that will get you securely reconnected. Please check your bulk folder for this email, as your email server may mistake it as spam.

This feature is case sensitive, so please make sure you are entering the captcha (security code) in the same case that it is displayed. If you are having a hard time making out the 3 letters displayed, feel free to hit refresh and you will be provided with a different configuration.

Swag Codes are promotional strings of alphanumeric text that can be used to earn instant Swag Bucks. Having a Swag Code is not required to sign up. To learn more about Swag Codes, where to find them, and how to use them, click here.

We need to make sure that you are a real person with a real email address. We do this by sending you a verification link. Before you can redeem any prizes or enter any Swagstakes, you will need to verify your account. To do this, please check the email address you registered with for a message from us. Within this message will be a verification link that you will need to click to verify your account.

If you do not see the verification email in your inbox, first make sure you have spelled your email address correctly, then check your spam filter. Additionally, you should add support@swagbucks.com to your trusted/safe sender's list to prevent any of our future emails from getting caught up in your spam filter. If the verification email is not in your inbox or your spam filter within 20 minutes, please contact us.

If clicking the verification link does not work or produces an error message, please try copying and pasting the URL. If it still doesn't work, please contact us.

No, you do not. Once you register with www.5newssearch.com, you are automatically registered to win on all our Swag Bucks powered Search&Win sites. To see all of the Swag Bucks powered Search&Win sites, click here.

When you refer a friend and they sign up with the link you send them, you are awarded matching Swag Bucks (within 48 hours) only for the Bucks they win while searching (up to a total of 1,000). You are not, however, awarded matching Bucks for those earned as a sign-up bonus, through Shop&Earn, from our trade-in programs, from entering Swag Codes, from Swagstakes, from friends of friends, or from any other method.

Your friends list may take up to 48 hours to list a recent referral. If your friend is still not listed after this time has elapsed, it is likely your friend navigated away from the site during registration or misused their referral link in some other fashion. We cannot manually add friends to your account if this occurs.

Once a user registers for www.5newssearch.com or any other Swag Bucks powered Search&Win sites, that person cannot be added as a referred friend of any existing or future member.

This is a common misunderstanding concerning our referral program. You are not awarded 1,000 Swag Bucks any time a user joins using your referral link. Rather, you can earn up to 1,000 matching Bucks for the Swag Bucks your friend earns while searching.

Yes, as long as each individual has their own account. Multiple accounts per person will be deactivated.

After registering with a Swag Bucks powered Search&Win site you will begin to receive newsletters from that site. If you have registered for a site other than www.5newssearch.com and would like to have your name added to the www.5newssearch.com mailing list simply visit www.5newssearch.com and click on "Sign Up For The Newsletter" on the left of your screen. You will then be prompted to enter your email address.

Newsletters may be sent as frequently as twice a month, or as rarely as once every six weeks.

Our newsletters feature a variety of different kinds of information, including updates about new and upcoming Swag Bucks features, prizes and sponsors.

In order to ensure that only recipients of the Swag Bucks newsletter can apply the Swag Code contained therein, it is necessary to place a time limit on the Code's redemption. Typically this limit is at least 24 hours from the time of email delivery. Reading your newsletter immediately upon receiving it is the best way to ensure your Swag Code will be active.

Many of our prizes are limited, so if we run out, we take the prize down from our site to avoid confusion. Just because a prize runs out doesn't mean we won't be getting it again in the future, so make sure to keep checking the Swag Store for current available prizes.

After you order a prize, we will send you an email with a verification link contained in it. Until you click this link, your prize order will be listed as "not verified." After you click on the link, your prize order is considered verified and shipping begins (within the quoted ship time).

Most gift cards from the Swag Store are e-gift cards. These prizes are delivered to the "My Gift Cards" section of your account within 10-14 business days of prize verification.

E-gift cards take from 10-14 business days from the date of verification to be delivered to the "My Gift Cards" section of your account. Please keep in mind that business days do not include weekends or holidays.

E-gift cards can be used by visiting the website that the e-gift card is for and entering the gift codes when prompted to do so (usually during the checkout process). The value of the gift codes will be applied to your order.

Physical prizes take approximately 14 business days from the date of verification to ship out. Please keep in mind that business days do not include weekends or holidays. After your prize shipped, it can still be as long as 2 weeks before you receive your prize.
Once an item is marked shipped, it has left our warehouse. Prodege is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Swag Bucks is not responsible for any damage caused during prize delivery. In the event you receive a damaged item, please contact your local post office.

Not all of our prizes are exactly as they appear in the corresponding prize photo. Please read the prize description carefully to find out exactly what you are ordering.

Yes, on certain items. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for any incoming taxes or duties into your country if your country does not deem a free prize as a gift. Check out this link to better understand what duties and taxes you might have to pay: http://fedex.com/us/international/irc/profiles/?link=2. We are working to find distribution partners to help us reduce any taxes, duties, or other governmental fees you may owe for incoming shipments.

All of our video games and accessories are formatted for North American use unless otherwise specified. One exception is the PS3. This system and most of its accessories and games are universal.

Whenever you order an iTunes song or video, you are sent a link directly from iTunes via email within 7-10 business days from prize verification.

Yes. At this time, only US citizens can order iTunes prizes.

Most Swag Bucks powered sites are intended to promote the products and services of our partners. The majority of those sites feature prizes that are not available on www.5newssearch.com.

5 News is able to differentiate itself by offering many non-partner specific prizes at lower Swag Bucks prices.

Yes. It is perfectly safe to add your account details to the E-mail Notifier. Your details are encrypted and saved locally on your computer. They are not shared with any third party.

If none of the stations or podcasts work, then check whether your computer meets all the requirements below:

• Operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista (currently the Radio Player is not supported in Mac or Linux).
• JavaScript is enabled in your browser . (See below: How do I enable JavaScript in my browser?)
• Cookies are enabled in your browser . (See below: How do I enable cookies in my browser?)
• Windows Media Player version 9 or higher is installed (needed for most radio stations). Get Windows Media Player
• If you have an older Firefox toolbar version, you may need to install Media Player ActiveX .

If you have met all the requirements above and the Radio Player still doesn't work, please contact our support team at support@swagbucks.com .

There are two main reasons why this may happen:

1. There may be a problem with your media player's settings. (Your toolbar's Radio Player broadcasts by means of the media player you're using.) We recommend that you check its settings.
2. There may be a problem with the radio station/podcast itself. Since these are offered from all over the Web and are not generated by us, we cannot control their performance.

If you continue to have problems with radio stations or podcasts that you would like to hear, please contact our support team at support@swagbucks.com .

Just click the Weather component, and you will see these options in the upper-right corner:

• Change location
• Change to C°/F°

Notice that the Weather component initially adjusts automatically, showing you the weather according to the location of your IP address.

The Weather component is powered by www.intellicast.com, which has the world's largest commercial meteorological database and displays the accurate weather for hundreds of thousands of locations all over the globe. It is not possible, however, to represent every one of these locations in the Weather component. In the event that you cannot see accurate weather information or find the name of your town, we suggest that you visit the Intellicast site directly for more information.
