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 like the way you helped me out. I went to fast and was too late to verify my visa card but you helped me not give up. Thankyou swagbucks.
Not the easiest app to use. Too many inside emails for me. And I have been turned down on 2 offers for blurry receipt pictures no matter how many times I retook them and sent them. IDK what else I could have done. This makes me have to make a return. Also, way too many "offers" inside emails showing up in the app all the time.
I have had swagbucks about a year and I've earned some PayPal money and some gift cards along the way. Don't quit your day job you won't get rich but, you can save a few bucks at the store, and get some cash back here and there. But you get what you put in when it comes to surveys the payout usually isn't much but it adds up the more time you put in. I just choose an easy one here and there and clip a couple coupons digitally and seems like my account will have at least $5.00 on it before i know it from barely even trying. So yeah its worth the effort and actually pays unlike alot of other so called survey sites. It's legit and it pays usually if its PayPal you want to cash out? Usually i will get cash loaded on card within few days, around mon-wends. Is when PayPal loads for me and Amazon and other gift cards are almost instant. Anyway its a good way to make extra cash and prizes from doing what im doing now and giving my opinion about how i feel about a product except this time im not getting paid. This review is on the house swagbucks thank you for a year of excitement!
Swagbucks did get me $65 US dollars in Amazon gift cards. But it took me a little under 13 hours of survey time to get it. That's $5 an hour folks. I enjoy surveys, I enjoyed the rewards for my opinion. Just dont assume you can make any good money off this company. They are in it for their own profit, just like any other business and are not looking out for your interests.
Very easy to use app. Points realy add up. I need to explore all the other ways to use this app. So far i have to give this one a 5 star review.
Of course, Swagbucks is the best survey site of the present time. I'm really happy to be connected to Swagbucks. I like Swagbucks.
Excellent company to do business with. I wait approximately 2 days every time I redeem a Amazon. Have been a member for 12 years and highly recommend them.
Come on people join, you'll be glad you did.
It's really a good place Where I get more information of New product and New brands. And It's also a good place Where I earned money. Thanks swagbuks
I love Starbucks in on it at least 5 times a week in my spare time I masked extra cash for spending money for Christmas. It's so simple and awsome. I recommend everyone try it.!
I'm retired and this is a good way for me to use my time at home. I like the fact you can make a few bucks and it is interesting to learn about the surveys.
Free gift card for everyone, earn more cash back from some stores, first time sign up get more SB...
The main things I don't like about it is that the offers don't credit instantly, a few of them are scams (although, it's relatively easy to figure out which ones), and you have to wait 3-4 business days usually before your rewards credit to PayPal. Also, the surveys run out at times, and quite a few disqualifications. But you can still manage to get an extra bit of money with this site in not too long of a time frame. If you intend on using PayPal, however, it's a bit of a pain to verify your account linking a bank to it, if you haven't done so already. All in all, it's been helpful though for some extra necessary cash.
Thankfully i got my gift card, honestly i thought it was a scam but it wasn't, I made small purchases with my 5 dollar gift card
Unlike some of the other reviews, I've been a user for many years and when I have some free time, I try to earn some swagbucks to trade for gift cards. I've redeemed over $50 in the last year and can say it's not a scam. However, the surveys and earning opportunities have gotten worse over the years (hence the 4 stars), but there's still plenty to take advantage of, you just need to search for them.
Fun & easy surveys and you get gift cards of your choice. Best app ever. Thank you Swagbucks for my visa gift card
I enjoy using Swagbucks. It's easy to redeem points. Also no hassle to get your reward. Takes just the correct amount of time as mentioned when redeeming.
For downloading an app and adding $2 to the account was enough to earn me enough points to purchase a $50 PayPal gift card that was in my account about 3 days after I redeemed the offer! Good feeling waking up to a pop up notification that I am a whole $50 richer. Oooh and Swagbucks live is super fun, just recently started playing. Another great and fun way to earn SB's.
I am a ruby member. I use SB a lot. I try to make my daily goals first. Then pick up anything extra I need in points. My daughterr ttaught mme aboout SB. She passed away 2 yyears ago and I not only think of her everyday, but I am also very thankful she taught me about SB. They do what they promise and ship asap. I hve usewd iit for RX, groceries, eaand other bills.
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
