Confirmed ways of getting the token
-Anything that can open (don't know if supply drops that randomly appear) or Fishing barrels count
-breaking Chests does still give you rewards
Lots of misinformation being spread about The Rewards.

btw this is coming from someone who still HASN'T found the token... so it's not a biased take ✌️😭
This Pirate Shop Token really has players so upset, they're hoping the FTC takes action. Well, here are a few things to note:
+ The Pirate Shop Access Token does NOT require any purchase to find.
+ Everyone is given an equal chance of finding it.
+ Anyone can find the Pirate Shop Token.
+ Whether the odds are known or not, it does not take away from the hunt being equal for all players.
+ Players are not forced to play Fortnite.
+ Players should be held accountable for their own self control. If they can't get off the game, or become addicted, that's not on the responsibility of Epic Games.
+ FOMO has been a part of the game since the very beginning with item shops, new seasons, etc.
+ Fortnite is a FREE game, giving out a FREE prize.
I can understand why players are frustrated that they are not finding the Pirate Shop Token, but going the length of saying the FTC should get involved is a bit much. However, if Fortnite locked the token behind the battle pass, that would be different. The token is free, anyone can find, and if you're getting too frustrated you can always choose to not play the game or hunt for the token.
I'm sure there can be an argument made for "manipulative marketing tactics" to lure players onto the game, but I think it would be pretty hard for anyone to really make a solid case against Epic Games.
Anyways, I'll be searching for the token in the meantime. Happy hunting everyone!

FORTNITE PIRATE TOKEN – LET'S CLEAR SOME THINGS UP
The following information has been relayed by @NotJulesDev, one of the most reputable bot developers, who i can personally back on how these systems operate.
Since everyone seems to be spreading misinformation about the Pirate Token, let's go over how this actually works.
How the drop chances work: The Pirate Token's loot table exists in the game files, but its drop weights are set to 0 on the client side. In simple terms, a loot table determines what items can drop and how likely they are to appear when opening a chest. While the loot table exists in the client, Epic stores the actual drop weight values in a separate server-side data table, which can be updated through server hotfixes.
Clover service: Clover is used to distribute rewards and isn't exclusive to Treasure Chests. There are also references to it being used for things like tournament rewards. Claims that Clover is responsible for controlling the token's drop chances are incorrect. Its purpose is to distribute rewards, not determine their odds.
Server hotfixes: Epic can update the drop chances through server hotfixes, but that doesn't mean they can freely enable or disable the token whenever they want. A hotfix cannot be applied in the middle of an ongoing match, nor can a server-side hotfix be individually applied to specific players.
Sprite drops vs. Pirate Tokens: Both systems have server-side loot tables. The main difference is that Epic also hotfixes Sprite drop weights to the client, whereas they haven't done the same for Pirate Tokens.
With that being said, claims that Pirate Tokens are secretly enabled at certain times during a match, or that specific players are being individually selected to receive them, don't align with how these systems operate.
Will we ever know the actual drop rates? Probably not, unless Epic decides to publicly disclose them.
