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 was skeptical at first because I had done surveys in the past that weren't worth the time. I spend a reasonable portion of the day completing surveys that actually result in tangible rewards.
If you have a little extra time in the morning or at night, it's well worth using Swagbucks to earn points and rewards. If you are someone that is out of work like myself, I need a break from house work and applying to jobs non-stop.
I'm very pleased with how Swagbucks operates. I am definitely a fan!
It's ok. Most surveys I even try and go through boot me out and give me 1 SB when I could have earned 50. Needs improvement to gain more SB's.
Fun and profitable-Neat way to make some extra cash in your spare time. This is a super easy way to get Amazon gift cards
It's nice having opinions valued all while earning credits for cash! SB are so easy to redeem and lots of options to choose how to spend.
It's easy to win sawgbucks and a wide variety of ways to earn. The thing I don't like if that there's been few times that I've completed surveys, but after selecting "exit" when completed haven't gotten my points..not even 1.
Best site for surveys and shopping. I highly recommend this site for those who want to make extra cash.
Sometimes the site malfunctions, and certain activities credit for less than they used to, but overall I still enjoy using it to make extra cash.
I just connected my credit card and forgot about it. Several months later I got enough Swagbucks to get $40 worth of gift cards!
I've been using swagbucks for years. It fills in the financial gaps in life. I make money while helping companies learn how people feel about their products.
I really like swagbucks its easy and fun. I have been using this site for a few years now. I have recommended it to many of my family members and my friends.
I used to use swagbucks much more often but it takes so long to actually earn a decent amount of points for rewards that I've found a different site to do the same thing. If any answers you provide don't match up perfectly to how you previously answered you'll get a warning if not locked out of your account. Things change, answers change and its kind of ridiculous. There is a lot of room for improvement. I would use more if it felt like my time was paying off.
This site is an easy way to earn a few bucks. The surveys are real unlike other survey stores that just take you around in circles. I recently started and have already earned 2 $5 gift cards!
It's a good way to earn gift cards but the surveys seem to deny me most of the time after I have done half of it so I don't get the points for it
Easy and fun way to earn prizes by answering surveys. I wish I qualified for more but I love using my points to enter giveaways.
I use this site as my search engine and every once in awhile, I receive gift cards. It is easy to use and something that I would use everyday anyway.
The best survey site hands down kudos to u customer service are the best. I've been with them for 5 months already earned over 350.00
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
