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 think its a great site i like the way it works but the rewards take longer to come then it takes to spend the money and that is not good when u go directly to they site and its instant
I love learning, discovering and sharing on Swagbuck's site everyday during the week. You can watch videos, share your opinions in surveys and discover so mandy different products. Love it.
I have been with Swagbucks many years and use it daily. I am a low income senior citizen who is retired. Swagbucks keeps me busy while I earn some gift cards to supplement my social security.
I spend just a few moments per day on Swagbucks and am able to earn around $25 per month in gift cards.
I am a stay at home mom and whenever I have a little down time I take surveys. It does take awhile to earn enough swagbucks to buy a giftcard but I have just redeemed my second and it has really been awesome!
I like the process so far. And so far it's been working. I got my gift card and the idea of taking surveys to win free cash is good. So I have no complaints. I'm really glad so far.
Love swag bucks! One of the best one out there. Comparatively well organized and presented. Use it everyday and I love it
Great site, prefer browser to app by about 1000 to 1, but been using for 3.5 years on daily basis. Overall wonderful site.
I love earning free gift cards. Points add up fast when you play swagIQ TOO! So easy to play and win extra swag.
I end up doing activities or surveys that ultimately become a waste of time because I won't get the credit. Swagbucks support has always been good about correcting them when I issue a ticket. But its not worth it to have to contact them, wait, provide proof every time. Defeats the purpose!
Swagbucks is so fun and easy to use and if you link your credit cards and use it when you shop online, you rack up points so fast! I've already gotten $100 in free gift cards and plan to use it enough to get at least a $25 free gift card each month. Once in awhile I find the links to get Swagbucks if you sign up for something or take a survey don't always work and my account sometimes is not credited, but for the most part it works great.
Great experience in redeeming gift cards. Will always use Swagbucks to try out new items as we get rewarded for trying new things.
As a long time member of this great rewards site, I was pleased to find out about some recent additions. If you look on the left side bar once you log in, there is now a tab to outright buy Swag bucks, without having to watch, shop, discover, search, or do anything. You can buy 200,500, or 1,000 Swag bucks. This is a huge benefit, in my opinion. Previously I had said that watching videos wasn't the best way to get points, but I have found if the device you are using has very high speed internet, you can watch 20 videos rather quickly. Lastly, if you only have a small daily goal, it's much easier to reach that goal without having to pay a lot of money for shop, or spend endless hours waiting for Swag codes or your 30th search just to get a few points. So I have much love for Swag bucks after discovering these options.
I go to the earnings choices that are concrete, and easily defined, and quick. That would be one time shopping at a reputable company website, playing the free games, answering the poll question daily, search, and using Swag Codes. You are more than welcome to do other choices, but you will be disappointed and frustrated. The surveys, Special Offers, Discover, Encrave, and watching videos won't get you very far as earnings go, and it takes too long to get a tiny bit of points., if you even get any at all. Depending on how much you shop and search, it could take months to reach the $25 gift card level. So sorry, people, you can't quit your job to make money here, it just won't happen that way. However, if you have some extra time in your day, you can get rewarded in a small way. I end up getting about 3 or 4 $25 gift cards per year.
Swagbucks is a good website for earning gift cards. In the last few years they have increased the number of activities required to earn swagbucks; for instance, it used to be watch 10 videos to earn 3 swagbucks. Now it's much, much higher with less payout. Still, free gift cards. :)
I like it, but it is very annoying when you get kicked out late. It's time consuming and not benifitatial. Also videos give almost no reward for the time it takes
I appreciate that I get free gift cards, but man, it's a chore sometimes. I rarely qualify for surveys and usually go through the whole damn survey before getting eliminated. Watch is a nightmare this past month. I totally appreciate the idea but sometimes I wonder if it's worth the time and effort. And the malware is an increasing problem!
Awesome! Time consuming but worth it if u like free giftcards! Takes awhile to accumulate but i love shopping and u get more swagbucks for spending the giftcard online too so its like an awesome cycle of free giftcards and they have almost 100 differwnt ones even visa! Hell yeah!
I would enjoy Swagbucks more if I could take all the surveys. Quite a few months ago I was unable to take any surveys except Peanuts. I contacted you twice and never received an answer.
Thanks for everything! You guys are so awesome! Wow I'm so amazed! I never would have thought I would get so many awesome gift cards from just taking surveys and watching videos!
Easy to use and I take advantage of it as often as possible. I have had very few issues and when I do they fix them quickly.
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
