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.

Answer polls, watch videos, play game and make money? Great site to make money is your spare time :)
I love most everything about this app. I wish the gift cards were instant and the surveys paid more. Besides that I'm really happy with everything else. Enjoy making side money for my houseplant addiction.
I've been on Swagbucks just shy of 3 years. The last few months have been the worse I've seen as far as pay out goes. I'm hoping with the holidays coming up things will improve, especially the videos. We'll see. The last few days I have seen an uptick. I like the site overall and would hate for it to become a total waste of time.
I use Swagbucks whenever I buy anything on line. I have gotten a couple $100 gift cards and the points add up very quickly.
I've only been a member for 3 weeks and have received a payout without issue. There are far too many surveys that when completed, you are advised you did not qualify and no points are rewarded, however, most of those can be avoided. If you have money to shop, they do offer some good deals.
I love swagbucks a lot bc I can get my own gift cards I need for things that I need and it's very convenient!
They have too low rates for everything. This means that in other sites you can get paid more for the same surveys and tasks, Other than that, they have too many crediting problems and their support provides canned answers and you may need to wait for a month until you get a real response, which might not be helpful. There are certainly better places to go.
I enjoy the perks of Swagbucks for sure! But I've found some of the partners questionable and some even downright shady. I don't think there are very many, if any protections in place for SB users.
Some earning opportunities are pretty good; others (like videos) have the WORST time: reward ratio. I do not like that Swagbucks is not transparent about their affiliation to MyPoints and Proedge.
Before I was not a big fan. But with me doing surveys which I love to do and getting my gift cards from Amazon and it didn't take weeks or months to build point! I enjoy the questions and rewards.
Best site ever in my survey life... i work many site but i didnt find like swagbucks... over all i a have great experience..
I use it often and have gotten so many giftcards. If you have a little bit of time during the day its so very easy to use.
I use it daily n save up my sb, they are very good, an easly way to earn money to buy gifts n stuff for myself
Ive been a swagbuck member for several yrs,
I have never had any issues, with anything. I redeem my rewards on my Amazon Account.
The surveys are easy to do.Im retired and this has helped me to get things i need including food items. Im happy.
Swagbucks is a good survey site that does pay out in the form of numerous gift cards. However, it does take time to build up enough to redeem your points for gc. I'm happy with this site.
I've been using this site since feb 2019 and i've made a few $100. You can take surveys or watch videos. I get a little sketchy on offers, but customer support has been helpful. Also, if you're going to buy something from amazon, macys, other big retailers, why not get some cash back?
How cool to get paid for what you are already buying. My only question... "why did it take me so long to figure this out?"
If you have the time to invest, the reward is worth it! It does take time for the points to add up, but over the past year I've redeemed a little over 50,000 ($500 worth) of points, and the one time I didn't get the gift card I ordered they made it right. No complaints!
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
