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.

Swagbucks is overall fantastic. Well run, great customer service when there are issues. Easy to navigate, the bucks earned rewarded promptly and can redeem them easily. 2 minor issues. NCrave and Surveys. NCrave doesn't work consistently, and surveys often will not credit when you complete a survey. And you guys say it's not your fault, it's the "third partys" fault. Not fair.
I love this app. Very easy to build up SB points to redeem for your next gift card. Also love the trivia game the have. Keeps my brain thinking and I get to know a little bit something new everyday.
It's fun, casual, and easy. I just redeemed a $15 virtual visa today, and a $25 one two weeks ago. Free money. You can't beat it with a stick.
I love that it searches the best coupon for me. Not sure why it comes up when it offers zero or 0% back.
Love swagbucks! Its totally legit. Use everyday. Great selection for pay outs. Love them use constantly when bored. Great for when you need a little extra cash or great gift cards as well.
I've been using Swagbucks from the beginning when it was only a search engine. There have been a few glitches with growth over the years, but overall it has been AWESOME
When I first joined it was great, now it takes just about all month to earn what I use to earn in 2 wks. I never went at it big and I still don't but it should be worth your time
Great surveys that dont take a long time and pay out really well. They are quick to pay and dont disqualify to often. Great surveys for good pay, cannot be beat.
It's a fun kinda strange way to earn some extra cash. One moment you are getting asked about Trump and then next what you'll be doing for retirement for the next 20 years.
Swagbucks has helped us pay bills, buy Christmas Presents, pay for cruises, go on vacations, get oil changes, plan trips to Disney, get cash back on purchases.
Great way to earn some extra money, but it's not always fair in the surveys through Discovery or through the actual surveys. I have a few problems with the SwagButton not crediting my purchases either.
I do not understand the people that bash swagbucks, no they do not highly pay that your going to get rich off of them but swagbucks is by far the best survey/shopping site out there. Some people expect to much.
I like earning rewards gift cards, but I feel like there are better uses of my time. Swagbucks makes earning rewards too hard
Some offers are scams and.don't pay but most sites are like that... I don't like how you can't get funds directed into your bank account like a few other sites and they don't. Pay instantly... I wait up to four days for my reward. Also the surveys always seem to screen me out after asking me so many questions it's like I have them all the info they wanted and I get none.of the promised incentives. However, one thing I do like about this site is the minimum pay out here is very low compared to. Most sites and there are more things to do. Then jus t surveys, keeps me more entertained
Improved survey reward system and interesting opportunities to voice an opinion make for a nice little opportunity.
I've been using Swagbucks a few years now and it keeps getting easier and easier to make extra money! It's been a life saver for me, and I have fun and actually learn a lot doing it! Thank you Swagbucks! I have used other similar sites before, but this is by far the best one I've found!
Yes you can make money online. This is not the fastest way but it is possible to earn a few bucks. Sometimes slow and steady is better and with Swagbucks there is no risk to you. Just put in the time... realize that you won't score on every survey and at the end of the day you have some money accumulated. Extend that out for a month and you have a nice little sum. I always set goals for myself, I use Swagbucks and a couple of other survey sites to earn enough money to make my car payment each month. The internet get rich schemes will bring you nothing. With Swagbucks you will make a few dollars. Be patient, steady and don't give up.
Awesome. Enjoy it. Wish I had more time to earn gift cards. I trust swagbucks and believe they will provide my awards in a resonable time
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
