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.

Love SwagBucks. Only issues I ever have are with the Encraves that rarely work. Enjoy the surveys and most of the videos.
I love swagbucks because it allows me to earn money in my spare time. It's always nice to earn some side money for doing nothing more than just spreading your opinion
I love this app it does exactly what it says it's going to do There's no gimmicks And it's really easy to use
I don't spend a lot of time on Swagbucks, but the points do add up, and every so often I'm able to get an Amazon gift card. It's a good way to support my reading addiction! I just take an occasional poll, watch some videos, and clip coupons for products I would normally buy anyway.
I enjoy using your site. Earn gift cards for ebay and get things without spending my own money. Takes a while to earn anything but overall it's very good.
Just got into it and ordered my first $25 paypal trfr and close to my second! I only spend about 5-10 minutes a day on this. I do have the button on my computer so that if there are deals on my purchases I get notified.
I enjoy playing swagbucks with my kids. We play together each night. I like earning free things. I have gotten a few gift cards.
I love the quickness of the Swag Bucks team. When inquires are made they
Don't mess around.
Which let's me know this survey team is authentic and professional.
Love the idea of being able to earn free money so easily. I work a lot, so I feel as though there are more than enough surveys to keep me busy, and when I earn cash, it comes in a timely manner. I can honestly say that I have no complaints about Swagbucks.
Great place for earning free points just for shopping. The site is very easy in use and is not time-consuming. Try out using Swagbucks!
Good service, needs to be a little better for amount of time spent. The site was great when I first joined but its diffciult to stay when it seems like a waste of time. The video apps tend to freeze up and hardly ever work. You have to watch more and more videos and earn less and less for watching. Lately all the Swagcodes require you to redeem them through their app or their browser extension and both annoy me.
Swagbucks is an easy way to earn freebies, but it takes a lot of time and energy to make anything worthwhile. Putting expiration times on Swagcodes is a messed up way of saying, "Too bad you have a job and couldn't make this code, but try again next time." Also, it would be nice to be able to earn rewards at physical stores you give points for online shopping. Also, the Swago game, it's cool, but it would be GREATER if you could get retro points/credit for purchases u just made like 5 seconds before joining the board, or something like 24-48 hours before.
As often as I use this site everyday, there are things I ran into everyday when trying to complete tasks that prevent me from completing my daily task list and it receive rewards that are owed to me. And everytime that happens I have to contact our customer service department which can take a long time to get a response.
In overall its a good place for some small treats if you have time in small fragments. But lots of the link on the site would not worth the time you consume. Good luck
Polls are repetitive especially personal info asked 3x per poll often kicked out of polls bc polls dont like honesty just right answers tere is no reason be booted out when qualified y accepted to poll
I earn points and trade them for gift cards, you can earn the points by doing surveys, watching videos and signing up for news letters
Swagbucks is absolutely great I love all of the offers and different ways they have that you can earn money, from the swag IQ, discover, daily poll, swago board, sb bowling, videos, movie clips, swag IQ is a really great game to play I have never won but if you get out of the game it offers you a free rejoin and even if your eliminated you still can win bonus sb for getting a question correct, the sb isn't much sometimes i wish they would at least give more sb for your time also I eared alot of my sb from Revenue Universe if you go to discover you will find this as an option it's a list of surveys that offers bonus sb its great once you learn how to work the site earning money becomes easy but it does take time and patience nothing in life is free anyway.
5 star all the way. I have used swagbucks for years and have enjoyed it tremendously. Great way to earn extra bucks.
They've changed a lot of things, making it more difficult to qualify for a survey or to even get certain functions to work (half the time the videos say they are "not in your region" and the amount of time you have to put into the videos to gain just 1 or 2 swag bucks is a bit much.) I feel like with all the changes they've gone down a bit in quality and just have made a lot more people upset more than anything.
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
