Swagbucks presents a mixed reputation among its users, with some customers appreciating the variety of ways to earn rewards, such as surveys and games.

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.

Easy to use easy to redeem, easy way to earn giftcards for giving your opinion and watching videos. Manys ways to earn.
Overall, Swagbucks is fun to use with many interesting ways to earn Swagbucks. They also offer a wide variety of gift cards. However, I've experienced many issues with being awarded for shopping. I'd say it's about a 50/50 chance that I'm awarded Swagbucks after shopping through their site. Unfortunately, I have to say that they fail most often when I make high dollar purchases. Additionally, the app will occasionally refuse to let me sign in the redeem a swag code. I get an unauthorized account message. Contacting Swagbucks when I have not been credited for shopping, providing all the details they request (and the list is long) has thus far been an unsuccessful method for resolving the issue. I simply get a reply that I am not receiving bucks without an explanation. Clearly, they don't care. As a result, I simply do not visit websites where I have been cheated by Swagbucks. My intent is to do a better job of notifying the companies as to the reason why they lost a customer.
Everything is great, just wish it was than 3 days to receive it. Thanks Swagbucks for the gift card!
While I've had some struggles earning points, even on the slower path (not doing crazy extra work for extra points) I earn decently. My current frustrations stem from the "exclusive" points of late. My fiance is also on Swagbucks, but his phone won't allow for app installation, and we don't have a PC. Since he uses a phone browser that won't allow the Swagbutton installation, he misses out on all the "restricted" points, through no fault of his own! It's frustrating. But, I earn slowly and steadily, and have fun doing so.
If you shop a lot, it's worth it, but if not, it's almost impossible to get enough for a $5 gift card.
I've been using swagbucks for a few weeks now, and I've already earned $50 in giftcards. You can't make a living with this site, but every little bit helps.
Won't pay the bills but a little extra can't hurt! I could see where a person could easily make 50 or 60 dollars a month. If you have the extra time, I'd say it was worth it.
Overall I enjoy Swagbucks and made a little extra spending money. The tasks are disappointing ~ a lot of work for little earnings. I don't watch the videos anymore as they are the same ones that have been available for the past two months.
Overall I love swagbucks, I've made over $100 in the past 3 months my only issue is that sometimes surveys don't credit to your account after completing them but it's rare that it happens.
Several attempts to sign up, then the stupid program does not let me log in. When I try to get another password app indicates it sends me a reset code but never works. KARMA is working for me not letting me access a useless application that just steals your time. Find other options. This garbage sucks
My husband and I don't work - he is retired and I am disabled. We live in a fixed income and there are times when we need something extra but don't have the funds available. That's when Swagbucks gift cards come in handy. I have noticed that it is getting harder and harder to qualify for the surveys, but overall Swagbucks is still the best way to get our extras.
I enjoy Swagbucks, but I don't see how people answer SwagIQ questions correctly. Also, I hate the fact that swag codes now expire after so many people redeem them. Even 15 minutes after they are posted, they are used up. Please limit them by 2 hours, not by number of redemptions. Thanks!
I can make the most money from Swagbucks. I've tried and still use some of the at least 40 other money making digital aps/surveys/rebates business but they just don't pay as much.
I've been a swagbucks follower for a few years now. I enjoyed taking the surveys and shopping online to earn money back. I will say I have trouble with the site due to many pop ups and glitches trying to watch videos or complete surveys. Many times my earnings for shopping online weren't credited to me. The surveys are very long for little earnings sometimes too. Nevertheless, I'll continue my swagbucks adventure and keep trying to earn money.
This is a great site where you can earn rewards for watching videos, taking polls, and doing surveys. There's so much more however, and not just what I mentioned. No, I don't like the fact that you get less points, but, if you do the surveys and get approved to actually do one, it's well worth it. The finances won't take place of your job or anything, but the extra finances work when you need gas or groceries, or whatever it is.
This site can help you earn extra cash to help you pay for a special item or event. Site is easy to use and will take some time to complete some task.
I have been using swagbucks to earn extra cash for a while. Watch short videos, take surveys, search the web.
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
