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.

This is an okay site. It allows you to earn extra cash for things you would normally do like: shopping, watching ads, etc. Do not count on it to make any significant $$$. Like other reviewers, I agree, it has gotten worse over the last year.
Easy to use. Great for earning extra cash. I recommend it to all my friends! Give it a try! You won't regret it.
Always thought it was fun doing swag bucks it fun easy rewards LIke that u get least on 1 sb if u don't get a survey but wish u can get more
Great app. Just don't know why you have pending swagbucks for do long. About a month to be exact. And then it take forever to get your gift cards you redeemed
This is a good way to earn some extra cash but don't think it will replace a job. I do it occasionally and earn about $25 per month. Its like gas in my car for the week. However it can be frustrating when videos don't work, surveys you don't qualify etc. If something frustrates me, I move on. Customer service doesn't really help even though they appear they want to help. Microsoft Bing does a lot better job in this and that is hard to believe because Microsoft sucks.
We've redeemed our swagbucks for shoes, jewelry, gold, and home appliances. The games are fun & rebates on purchases have been awesome.
A fun way to make a little money if you have the extra time. Don't expect big bucks right away unless you spend money
If there was more surveys i would do more i really enjoy doing them i dont like it when they take you half way thru and then its you off
Like it a lot. Easy to use. Saves me much money. Love getting money back on purchases and the gift card discounts. Will try to recruit other members (and love that I can earn commissions on that as well).
I enjoy Swagbucks. I feel as if the surveys are helping somebody, even tho I may not know who. That makes me have a good feeling. These surveys are a positivity for me too because the points add up and I use them for giftcards, which I am currently using to treat myself to go to Disneyland! My daughter is a Disney Castmember, so the teme park tix are free and the resort hotel is deeply discounted. But I have been able to use my travel connections to get free airline tix and I have enough giftcards for all of our meals! Yep, I'd call that a win-win!
Swagbucks is fun and using it makes a little money to! I love me some Swagbucks! I take some cool surveys and learn neat stuff
I've been a Swagbucks member for several years and us it casually. I've made some money with it and am happy with that. It is definitely not as good and easy to use as it was before.
I use Swagbucks for most of my shopping and searching. It's an easy way to rack up points then exchange them for gift cards where you already shop. I don't do the surveys or anything so I'm not getting the most out of it because it's not worth my time.
I would do more surveys and play SwagIQ more often. There just isn't enough time for everything though.
Try to take surveys, get half way through and get told I don't qualify, waste of my time. Sometimes I feel the surveys get information but kick you because they don't want to pay you for your survey.
Best survey site I've ever been a member of. It's super easy to earn money on here on your spare time.
I am a regular swagbucks user, since 2015. I order gift cards from the site and online shopped at several stores. I have earned enough swagbucks to redeem giftcards to Nike, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, PayPal, and several other stores. I absolutely love it!
The staff is outstanding in many ways. Redeeming my swagbucks for a gift card is rewarding in many ways. I love this community and their staff. The community offers many opportunities to earn and learn. The staff never slacks on answering your questions or updating you with interesting new items around the community. The payouts are always timely and easy to access.
I have been using Swagbucks for 10 yrs (give or take). I've had many people say, "there's no way they can give you cards for free." NOT TRUE if you stick with just the watch stuff then not only do you earn cards without it costing a dime you also don't end up with tons of emails from "partners". I have used Swagbucks for everything from covering ALL of Christmas and my daughter's birthdays, all in December by the way, BUT I have also used it for essentials such as dog food or brakes for my car from Amazon, if you have the patience to run the videos it's TOTALLY WORTH IT! As you can see from my pic over the years I have earned more than $1000 in gift cards from them. I LOVE SWAGBUCKS because with them you don't have to live as poor as you actually are
The effective usage of the mobile version for getting amazon gift cards has always been easy, however now that it is slowly becoming harder to do, requireing more time to check on it, and with crashes every few hours, sometimes to the point where the device must be restarted has slowed down the income.
3/5 Would swag again
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
