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.

I love using this app. It's easy and fast to earn easy cash on the side. I'm currently unemployed because of a disability but on my free time I just sit in bed and take surveys and earn a little bit of cash I just started a month ago and so far I made a little over $50 in just one month. I would totally recommend for anyone looking to make a little cash on the side.
An easy way to earn extra cash and or gift cards depending on your preference. You can take surveys, watch videos, use the Swagbucks search engine. All easy ways to earn extra cash
It is amazingly easy to earn money with this app. I would recommend this to anyone who needs some extra income.
I absolutely love using the swagbucks app! I have gotten legit gift cards from it (my choice was Wal-Mart) but there are tons of other options. It's quick to make money on!
This is a decent way to earn a little extra spending money. Just do the surveys and watch the videos and you don't have to spend anything to make a little extra^_^
I have taken advantage of recent surveys to add to my point total. I am planning on checking it more often in the near future,
I have mixed feelings about whether these guys are legit. They advertise promotions that are legit and say that they will honour points after they verify with their third parties. However, when you ask the third party, they deny such an agreement in place. Swagbucks then blames the consumer despite there being a technical error in their website pointed out and you have to point with them to reason with you by demonstrating the proof that they require. They respond back with the same blurb every time without reading your additional proof that the requirements were met. I do not know if I trust these guys. If you follow the instructions and prompts to fulfill your side of the deal and then they do not honour their side, you feel like you have been taken advantage of. That is not something that I would want to have happen to someone else so recommendation... absolutely not.
I've had swagbucks a week now and have already redeemed 35$ in virtual Visa. Hands down one of the best.
I thought all paid surveys were a gimmick until I heard about Swagbucks. I have been doing this for about a month now and have already earned over $150.00! You can redeem your points for gift cards, either virtual or physical, from so many different vendors that you'd usually shop from. They also work sort of like Ebates in that they offer cash back at multiple popular stores online and in-store!
I like doing the surveys and it used to be easier to get help on a malfunctioning survey. Or a survey that won't give you the SB you earned after completion. Now they are asking to upload a screenshot. But you don't always have that. Sometimes the screen is just blank. This is not fair.
You can sign up for Swagbucks using this link and if you earn 300 SB within a month (which is very easy, I earned 194 on my first day) you get a bonus of 300 SB.

If you go to Discover and AdscendMedia you can get money from just watching videos which is great but you don't get much.
I love Swagbucks, it's easy to make money, even if you use it as a free user. Playing games or buying things online, it's stuff that you are probably doing already anyway.
Well I loved using swag bucks but having to select just having the card I deserved online or having it being shipping for 5 dollars taken away was a little alarming to me, but overall it is a wonderful way to make some money over a long period of time.
Site easy to navigate and surveys enjoyable to complete. Totally satisfied with my experience so far
Swagbucks is very efficient I love the use for it and the rewards I receive. Swagbucks has made me a valued customer
Redeeming my 15 dollar VISA Giftcard was easier than I thought it would be. Only waited 2 days and for half the points the competitors ask for. G G swagbucks.
Is a good way to get some extra money, in my case, i like to complete surveys, I do it in my free times, and it's quite entertaining, apart from the money it generates. Have good offers, is very complete, I like swagbucks so much. 5 STARS
Whatever you do don't use this site! You're much better off using SurveyJunkie. The customer service for SwagBucks is pretty much non existent and they don't reward you for a lot of the apps that you can download then reach a certain level for swagbucks. I could've gotten a $15 giftcard from them but they wouldn't give me my points for WorldWarRising even after I submitted proof. This site is a scam and they sell your information! Use SurveyJunkie instead!
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
