Swagbucks presents a mixed reputation among its users, with some customers appreciating the variety of ways to earn rewards, such as surveys and games. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding account deactivations, unresponsive customer service, and delayed payouts. Many users report frustration over not receiving compensation for completed surveys and feeling misled about earning potential. The overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, with a notable number of users warning others against investing time in the platform due to perceived scams and inadequate support. This suggests a pressing need for the company to enhance its customer service and reliability.

Swagbucks is the reward site I have stuck with. There are so many different ways to earn Swagbucks and once I redeem them, I receive my gift card code instantly! Swagbucks offers many different prize choices, but the one that keeps me using the site is that they offer Amazon gift cards. It doesn't take me long to earn one either. I mostly earn my Swagbucks through internet searches and shopping through their links, but sometimes I answer polls, watch a series of videos, or answer surveys.
I used to love using Swagbucks but it gets worse and worse. More is required to earn less it seems... that is if they even honor the agreement set forth. Several times I will complete an offer and no sb's are given.
As a new subscriber I think the offers of cash back and swag bucks is the greatest thing they could gave come up with! I'm all for stretching a dollar! I work hard for my coins. Thank you Swag Bucks
It is a fun and easy way to earn small amount gift cards by taking surveys etc... But sometimes you don't receive what you are owed.
If you have a lot of free time to devote to the site you can earn a decent amount of swag Bucks but it can be frustrating. Sometimes it seems as if I try 10-15 surveys before I actually find one I can complete.
Love it. I use it everyday. Great wuay to earn extra cash. I even got my husband hooked on it. We both have Swagbucks accounts
Swagbucks has helped over the years. I think I began using back in 2011/2012. My bucks added up and I used to treat me son to date nights, now he is grown and married and just use to help out family budget.
Swagbucks is an absolutely greedy website. The 2500 SB requirement to pay out for $25 is far too high. Having 100 SB equal $1 is too much. It equates to it taking far too long to earn any sizable amount of money. I am a very poor person desperately struggling to make even the smallest amounts of money, and the fact they make it that hard is absolutely evil. I need money, and this is a just waste of time. Just like everything else I've tried to get income from. It reminds me that life hates me and does not want me, nay out right refuses to ever let me accomplish me. What's the point even trying? Overall, I say this site deserves nothing but 1 star reviews. They need to make it so that 1 SB = $1, and make more FREE, as in ACTUALLY Free offers. Many of their free offers still require you to spend money registering or signing up for something. And that's just straight up unjust. If they simply made it easier and quicker to pay out, we would have less poverty and the world would be a better place, and they would also have a lot more traffic. But instead they make you struggle to even get a few hundred SB.
I am very satisfied with swagbucks! There is not very many true to their word apps out now-a-days! I just recieved a 10$ visa gift card and it was super fun and easy!
Love Swagbucks, I've earned over 1K in 8 months... great way to bring in extra income! I'd definitely recommend.
Easy to use and fun to save. I use Swagbucks and the swagbucks button whenever I'm shopping online to save a few dollars and then use my sb to get gift cards to my favorite stores. It's simple and easy, I love it!
If you spend a little time on here, you can earn swagbucks pretty easily, especially with the Swagbucks live trivia game. If you shop online regularly you can get points shopping thru the site, as well.
It takes a lot of patience to earn some funds. If you're expecting fast money, it won't happen. Customer service could be better. However, you will eventually get paid.
I like the survives. They are fun to do and a fair about the amount of time to take. I wish that it would let you know sooner if you don't qualify to take a survey.
I like that when I shop online I could get Swagbucks, a nice little something extra for a couple extra clicks. But I don't visit for anything else. They have too low rates for everything. I've been a member for many years (shortly after its launch) and have seen actions such as watching videos decline substantially, to the point that it is not worth the electricity to watch their videos. I used to watch videos A LOT and actually be able to complete surveys but haven't for several years.
Even a casual user of Swagbucks can earn $3 to $5 a month. Many people earn more. The ways to earn are numerous and not hard. I've been using it for years. Check out the site.
I love this site. I get carried away with trying to earn points, but I discovered a lot of cool new things. I get rewards to do things I do on an everyday basis.
Answer: They are definately legit been a member for many years and have earned over 70,000 swagbucks been paid many times with no problems also use there swagbutton with no problems
Answer: It is real cash, since you can have the payment through PayPal or Visa cards. They're not going to just deposit into a bank account.
Answer: Each point is a penny. So if you want a $5 gift card you need 500 Swagbucks. My only recommendation is don't get the Visa cards. All other cards work easily online or in store. Visa never seems to be accepted anywhere.
Answer: No, it won't steal your personal data. It's perfectly safe.
Answer: Got to $28 rather quick but the next $2 i need to cash out IS TAKING FOREVER!
Answer: You need to earn swagbucks to get a gift card. As few as 300-500 swagbucks will get you a gift card (worth $3 - $5). Better gift cards are available for more swagbucks.
Answer: Either way. Some gift cards are physical cards and are mailed and some are online.
Answer: "... the page disappeared..."? If this is about getting a bonus for using the Search function, the page doesn't disappear; it sits there until you move off it. A couple times, I have moved off a page before realizing there was a Search bonus. I hit the Back button on my browser & input the code, no problem. Of course, if you don't respond in a timely manner, the bonus expires. (I think it's around 3 minutes, but I'm not certain.) Also, if you input a non-matching code, you'll get a new code, but only 2x (3 chances in total). Are you maybe talking about a SwagCode? That's a bonus that appears on an otherwise normal page. And again the page doesn't disappear. If you take too long, you get an expired notice in the SwagCode box, but the page remains.
Answer: Many giftcards are sent electronically. Some are within a few hours, others can take a few days. How well they pay depends on which activity you're referring to and also how much time and effort you devote to earning. Some activities are USELESS, like watching videos - you watch 15 30-second videos and are only paid 2SB, the equivalent of 2¢. For 7.5mins, that's asinine! However, some of the activities, like the surveys, in-store shopping/receipt upload and games (such as Swago) can offer a great bonus here and there.
Answer: You never get paid from there discovery items, huge scam
