8. What is a partner Search and Win site?(top)

At the end of August 2012 Swagbucks discontinued almost all of their partner sites for bands. The points that were earned at these sites were converted into generic SB. If you were saving for a specific prize, hopefully you got it before they changed over!

There were almost 200 other search and win sites powered by Swagbucks (Called partner sites). These sites generally promoted specific sport teams or organizations. Unless one was set on a specific prize from an artist or sports team, it was best to use the default swagbucks.com page since prizes at the main swagbucks site were normally cheaper. Another downside to partner sites was that you could not combine points from the partner sites to use on Swagbucks.com.
