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 a good way to make a few bucks here and there, but don't expect to pay your rent by doing this. Wish surveys and discover credited more consistently.
I have been hanging out with Swagbucks for years now. I really have lots of fun finding ways to earn free gift cards. Some days it is more difficult than other days, but I really love the challenge. The videos and really interesting as well as the surveys. There are some offers that I do, but others I am not interested in. I figure someone else will be. Thanks Swagbucks for all the fun!
I love to use Swagbucks for some extra shopping money. Playing swag IQ and taking surveys in my spare time is a fun experience and a great way to earn some money. Some of the surveys give me a sense of accomplishment. It's also fun to watch the videos, getting caught up on my gossip and new recipes.
I love Swagbucks and love how I can earn gift cards to help out with Christmas or anytime use. I give it 5 stars
Swagbucks is easy to earn rewards and has some of the best customer service representatives. Very easy to work with and sort out any problems you might encounter.
Pretty great way to make some gift cards. Sometimes the opportunities change and it can be hard to earn, however, generally its very good.
Some surveys are very iffy(if you see one worth 200 points or more, it's almost guaranteed you won't qualify automatically). As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be frustrating to spend time on a survey and reach 100%, only to end up not qualifying somehow for the survey. Also at the end of surveys sometimes is where the demographic questions are asked, which should come first in order to accept or exclude right away.
However, rarely have I had any issues with points not rewarding. And when that has happened, emailing customer service has almost always rewarded me with the right amount of points I was missing. Also redeeming rewards has been quite easy and I've had no issues in the year I've been on Swagbucks.
Overall, if you have some time to kill, it's a worthwhile site to try. Just be smart and not take surveys that aren't worth the reward. Ie: 40 points for a 30 minute survey.
I redeem my swagbucks for Amazon gift cards, I've made over $200 in Amazon gift cards. It takes time, but it's definitely worth it.
I mostly do the surveys, no problems for me...
Usually interesting and not too long.
Swagbucks are posted quickly after finish.
Loving my free stuff from Swagbucks. I spend very little time on it and I'm accumulating TONS of Disney Dollars for my upcoming trip
I liked swagbucks, is the best site ever, they pay to answer surveys i liked so much, I am very happy with swagbucks
So easy to earn gift cards for my favorite stores just by searching the web, doing surveys, watching videos, and shopping. Also fun games to play and earn swagbucks.
I love my swagbucks. It makes me money that I am able to use for special occasions.It also offer fun things to do and amazing offer to allow us to try different things.
I love earning points on this site, because I can trade them in for gift cards that let me help family and friends, and also reduce my birthday/holiday shopping costs.
What's unusual about this rewards site is that it gives PayPal as an option. In other words, you could trade points for gift cards but also for cold, hard cash.
I like swagbucks and it is fun to redeem for giftcards of points earned for surveys. I like taking the daily poll too.
Love using this site and answering surveys. However, I don't get to experience everything because I can only access it from my phone.
I USE SWAGBUCKS DAILY, MY SWAGBUCKS GIFT CARDS HELP SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME, SWAGBUCKS IS GREAT! AND I WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT AS LONG AS IT EXISTS.
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
