I have to admit, I was skeptical, too, but it does work.

Don't expect to become rich, or to even make a paychecks worth of money from this in a weeks time(because you won't), but they do pay.

Various market research companies create surveys that pay people for their opinions. Swagbucks takes these surveys and makes them available on one central, easy to access website. Swagbucks has no control over whether or not you will qualify for a particular survey, they just make them available. They are just a middle man, and they only get paid if you do, so why would they not want you to get paid?

With that said, however, some of the surveys can be quite picky about what they consider dishonest/deceptive... I've personally been disqualified from several surveys after spending 20-30 minutes on them, and yes, it's very demotivating(to say the least). If you persist though, you will end up making some extra money(in the form of giftcards), but it does take a lot of time and effort, for little compensation.

Swagbucks is a fun website that gives you opportunities to earn points that convert to gift cards (including Paypal). There are a lot of activities to choose from and I have enjoyed many of the activities. I have had some issues with offers not being credited to me, videos not working properly, and a LOT of spam mail after doing some surveys and other activities. I still enjoy the site although earning is a lot harder now than it used to be.

Swagbucks is one of the only sites out there where you can actually earn money or gift cards. I think the best and fastest way to do so is the 'discover' offers. Most if the time you pay a very small amount, for example, subscription service like dollar shave club, but you can cancel anytime and you earn back double, triple, or more of what you paid. You can cash out for PayPal money, a Visa gift card or a gift card to your favorite places. My only complaint is sometimes your activity isnt recorded and doesnt show in your account so you dont get paid for it. If this happens you have to contact customer service. The majority of the time they will help you and credit your account. Other times they make it very difficult.

Surveys are aimed at under-thirties so I can't earn; roku tv channels are discontinued, the "watch" category only plays "Discover & Rate" so I leave that on through the day. I also use the shopping to accumulate points. When I first started using swagbucks I could get $25+ a week so I think the longer a person uses Swagbucks... the less I am able I earn points. But it's okay. 32 day wait period for points is ridiculous in this day and age of tech.

For nearly every survey you have to enter the same basic information. Often, you'll spend this timesometimes up to five minutesonly to be told you don't qualify. Isn't there a way to enter the information once in some sort of general data base that then automatically disqualified you? For example, if you don't meet the age requirement? Time would be saved and more importantly you'd get more participants. I get frustrated after being rejected a few times then leave the site annoyed at its inefficiency.

I have been using swagbucks since 2012 and I have made ALOT of money. It's so easy to earn money. They also have an online game show called swagbucks live. IRS so much fun and the hosts (especially nathan and desola) are amazing. If you haven't tried it YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
