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've been a member of Swagbucks for over 8 years at this point, and I've redeemed for thousands of dollars. It's the best way I've found to make money to supplement our small budget and allow for fun activities with the kids or buy groceries when needed.
Great site get gift card for surfing! I dont do the surveys anymore too time consuming but I do a lot of other activities
I just signed up for Swagbucks a few months ago. I absolutely love it! There are so many ways to earn SB and I have already cashed in SB for a $25 Walmart gift card!
It's great for people that retired or work from home with spare time, because it takes a lot of time to get enough points to redeem for a gift card. Some times you do not get your points if you do the serveys.
I really look forward to the surveys on Swagbucks. They are pretty interesting most times. It is disappointing when you don't qualify after two of three minutes in but what ya gonna do...
Super place to earn a little extra money. Fun things to do to fill up a morning while having my coffee. Interesting finds that I never knew before. Just all around enjoyable
I usually earn a fair amount on swagbucks each month. Not enough to live off of, but it pays a bill or two each month. The biggest complaint I have is a lot of offers never credit and the responses don't always come back super fast.
A lot of work but rewarding. I enjoy the giftcards to keep earning. It helps me try things I normally would not try.
I use Swagbucks to supplement our fixed income by earning Walmart and Amazon card and using them for grocery purchases.
Frequently receive all of the answers on surveys then time out and don't pay. Performing tasks is literally working for pennies per hour. Some of the stuff is interesting but most of it is just scammy. Takes forever to earn a gift card and takes even longer to pay. They're sending people here asking for 5 star reviews which is shady in my opinion.
Great site with a lot of options for doing surveys, watching videos or other options.
Like any other survey sites, sometime you don't qualify. Not going to get rich here, but it can be fun and still get a large variety of reward options
I really like this paying site, this was good for some Mommies who was not working, It Is legit paying online and I've got 3 gift cards redeemtion. Thank you swagbucks.
It's so easy to earn gift cards with swagbucks. I love it. I have earned all these amazn gift cards in 1 week.
I have used Swagbucks for several years now as a means of saving for Christmas and for having the extra funds needed occasionally when birthdays or unexpected events occur. It is easy to use, fun and definitely rewarding. Whether using it for searching as I do research for my writing or using it to download coupons to print to save money at the grocery store, it is a major help in my daily life. I enjoy many of their surveys they offer, and I sometimes have time to participate in their games they offer or watch some of their videos (cooking videos or pet videos are my favorite). I recommend everyone to try swagbucks and see if they enjoy reaping the benefits the site has to offer as much as I do!
I love swag bucks cashed out for 25 dollar gift card after an hour for signing up for hulu at 6 dollars and i use hulu daily!
Fanatics always has the sports gear we love. It's easy to order and arrives quickly. It also has great prices
I love the gift cards I get! I usually will get the visa ones and pay my phone bill. That way I am not spending it on unneeded items.
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
