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'm pretty much a casual user of Swagbucks. I think this is my second year using the app. I cash out at the end of the year usually. This year was especially nice. Thanks Swagbucks $100 redeemed!
Let your money pay for itself! I do! I used this app for a while and I've already gotten over 300 in Visa rewards
I like the many ways you can make money with Swagbucks to buy gift cards to merchants like Amazon, Walmart, etc.
Instead of playing games on my phone when I'm bored, I pull up the Swagbucks app and get to work on taking surveys. I wish the surveys would let you pause and come back later to finish. Also would be great for it to memorize your Year of birth, age, annual household income, and race instead of having to enter it on every single survey
I have been a member of Swagbucks for years. In my opinion it is the best survey site available. (and I have tried many).
It is legit amd legal. The ways to build up extra cash are easy, doable and plentiful. I have cashed out many times and always receive my gift cards promptly. I highly recommend. It is not a get rich quick scheme but it is awesome for extra needed cash.
This site is my own little savings account used for gifts around Christmas and Birthdays. Never had no problems and always received my points for any tasks I may have completed... I use Swagbucks to make my purchases from other sites and get paid for it, how much easier can it get...
Alot of the surveys dont complete ya go through a bunch of questions and it kicks ya out and gives ya one SB for trying. I have stuff that i completed like games and have not been paid for yet hope I get paid. I do make a little money but its alot of effort
Make ex cash that will help for Christmas gifts i done all of out of the money i put out for gifts this year 475.00 on gifts this year i just spent just 35.00 out of the 475.00
I have really doing these surveys. I like the variety of survey including food and beverage, politics, and movies. I have learned a lot doing these surveys.
I agree with James c. They did the same thing to me. I did surveys and earned points. All of a sudden I was barred with no explanation and could not redeem my points. You also cannot get any support or close the account because you cannot log in. My next step is the attorney generals office which you can do online to get the account closed.
Ive cashed out about 60 dollars in the last 4 months, its a cool way to make some amazon spending money. Helps kill this quarantine time. Lately surveys are getting sparse and not qualifying, or kicking you in the middle of one which feels like a waste of time. If they could fix that i would give 5 stars.
I have been using Swagbucks for about 2 weeks and have already been able to cash out! I love how easy to use it is! Highly recommend.
I like Swag bucks very much and it is one of the best survey site in the world. It is a good value and great survey
Swagbucks is legit for those looking for a site to make side cash on. I have redeemed more then one gift card, and the minimum points you need is only 300!
Works been slow regarding covid, so I've been using it in my downtime when I'm bored. It doesn't take long at all to get points. I don't care for doing surveys, but I play games and do cash back offers and still don't have issues getting their points fast.
I signed up a few months ago and mostly did surveys to get points. It was frustrating because most of them had me answer questions for 5 minutes then disqualify me. But I was eventually able to get enough points to redeem a $25 visa card. You have to sign up for a website and give them your address to receive it via email which i thought was fishy but I got it a day later!
The surveys are great, the advertisement is smart and all of it is simple to use. The advertisement is not annoying like most websites, you pick what you watch for advertising and even make a small portion of it back.
It's fairly simple to earn swagbucks and u can earn enough to redeem them in a timely manner. I would recommend this app to anyone who is just trying to earn a lil extra on the side..
It is one of the best website for survey.It is very cool and informative, paying fast. I am visit this website several in a week..
I love Swagbucks. In the last 2 weeks I have earned a $15 Amazon GC and $20 Walmart gift cards. For someone like me who is disabled and on a small fixed income this is a great way to make a little extra spending money. I've never had an issue with Swagbucks ever.
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
