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 don't spend a lot of time on this survey site or take part in many of the activities because they are very time consuming for very small rewards. There's a lot of ads and promotional related offers that I pass up. I've earned enough to get a couple of $25 gift cards, but it takes a while to do so with the surveys. Like most sites, they prefer certain demographics and those that fit get the best offers for surveys.
I saw Swagbucks while I was on my Facebook news feed and decided to create a free account. Once I started, I found the surveys to be very interesting. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on various topics, and after a couple of days, I qualified for a $5 gift card! Just like that. I will continue to take the surveys and also discover the other features Swagbucks has, watching videos, shopping online and even playing games. Swagbucks is a credible business and I'm always happy to use it.
My two go-to rewards sites where I take surveys to earn giftcards are eRewards and Swagbucks. I find that with eRewards, I qualify for the surveys much more often so I earn rewards faster, and I get a bigger payout for surveys taken so I have to take fewer of them to earn a giftcard (but their rewards options are kind of dumb). With Swagbucks, they have tons of great rewards options (i. E., gifcards to stores that I really like and I frequently shop at, like Express and Target and Amazon), but it takes FOREVER to earn a reward because I rarely qualify to take their surveys and when I do, I don't get very many "points" for it. With eRewards, when I qualify for a giftcard and order one, I get it instantly and can spend it right away. With Swagbucks, it took several days for the reward to go through after ordering, which I thought was pretty pointless.
Swagbucks is awesome! I've earned almost $50 in gift cards in about a week! They have quick and simple ways to earn legitimate rewards! I would highly recommend Swagbucks and I will most definitely continue using it!
Lacks some but intriguing. Games are fun. Need to get sb sooner and not have to wait so long to receive them
Casual user, but it adds up for a nice treat every once in awhile. Not hard to do easy things and let it slowly build up. Will keep using swagbucks
Very poor. You can spends hours answering questions without earning a single point. Far too many questionnairres where you get near the end and then told you don't qualify. Rip off.
Too many surveys ask the same questions before you get to the survey. Why don't you keep that with the person taking the survey then we wouldn't be doing pre-surveys that make us ineligible for the survey.
Help me a lot thanks Swagbucks I can buy sometimes thing I can use around in my house I love it. Yeah sometimes I'm bored I just go on my swag bucks I'm happy playing video or games just awesome is exciting for me can keep busy sometimes
I'm very happy with swagbucks. I am on their site everyday for about 5 hours. I have made extra money that goes for bills and groceries. The extra money comes in very handy when you are on a limited income.
I was hesitant to use Swag bucks first. Is easy to use and Get gift cards. You can do surveys, watch videos, or do you normal shopping online and get swag bucks
This is an amazing program. It has helped me so much. I love it. I use it everyday and I have all the corresponding apps.
Gives you free money/gift cards... is very easy to do. Also very fun. Is addicting. Thank you so much swagbucks!
Easy to use platform to receive points that can be redeemed for gift cards or cash. There is very minimal delay upon cash out and I've never experienced any missing payments. Offers a wide variety of earning options. Very satisfied with the process.
Easy way to make some extra money in your spare time. Take surveys, watch videos and purchase products are all easy ways to earn extra money.
How can you not be happy when your earning basically free money. There are plenty of different ways to earn and I enjoy it
I like Swagbucks and have been using it for a week and a half now to make some extra money for the holidays. Of course some things are time consuming and and I wish you got more swagbucks for watching videos but it is what it is. Honestly how much you make will be determined by how much effort you put into it. Took my first gift card 4 days to get to me which was ok but I wish it was sooner. I made $25 in a week by the way and opted for the Wal-Mart gift card
Waiting on the card then I can review and tell what I think.not very much to say until I get my card.
I love swagbucks and use it for all of my back to school, birthday, holiday and christmas shopping. The points are easy to get if you spend a little time each week.
I like Swagbucks for the most part. I understand that the recent communication issue is most likely due to COVID 19. However, I mainly have issues with the surveys, as I am disqualified from most of them. I especially like mCrave, and the rewards from shopping. Finally, I like the new system of getting SB for shopping online and submitting receipts. I also appreciate how quickly gift cards are disbursed.
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
