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 do alot of shopping online anyway. Doing it through Swagbucks rewards me for various purchases I was already going to make. Over the last 6-7 months, I've been rewarded over 10,000 swagbucks for doing shopping I was gonna do anyway, and just redeemed them for a $100 gift card. WHO DOESN'T LIKE FREE STUFF?
I dont get a ton of swagbucks daily, on a weekday maybe 30 at best, on a weekend ill get 100-200 a day usually, but it's honestly great because it just builds up without me knowing it because i use it's search to get extra swagbucks, already gotten a few giftcards and would recommend to anyone
I just started last Fall and it was amazing! I made hundreds of dollars in gift cards! But now they almost NEVER pay out what they promise! You used to earn good money by doing tasks, but now they have cut all rewards by at least half, some by way more, and it's nearly impossible to go a day without having to send them an email begging them to pay you the 32 cents for this or that thing that you did that they didn't credit. You really have to stay on them, so it's a HUGE waste of time. But if you stay on it and have time to waste WHILE doing something that is ALREADY paying you to sit at a computer all day, then I highly recommend it. But watch them, they're cheats.
2 years later update: Things have gotten even WORSE. Pretty impossible to hit your daily goal 2 days in a row, they now require you to BUY SB to do their SWAGO boards and ZERO site visit purchases EVER qualify as shops! IF you ever do ANYTHING on the site you HAVE to wait 32-45 days to file a complaint to get your payment! So this site is nothing but jumping through a 20 minute hoop, then spending ANOTHER hour taking screenshots, making calendar listings to BEG for your EARNED MONEY! BEYOND DISHONEST!
I love how easy it is to use this app. I have saved money on everyday items that i need. I have taken interesting surveys and gotten great rewards. I would recommend this site ao everyone.
It would Be better if swagbucks wouldn't keep changing things and if there wasn't so many issues with the site and apps
I have used swagbucks for years and love it. Its easy to use and redeem your points too. You can add a tab to the computer for easy shopping
I was very hesitant to start using Swagbucks. I read about it on a blog that was on Pinterest. Once I redeemed my first gift card, I was hooked. I love getting free stuff! The surveys are easy and don't normally take too long. There's other ways to earn points as well like trying different products.
I love to use Swagbucks because there are multiple ways that you can earn points. On vacation, we earned points for our hotel stay. Whenever I use Amazon, I get points. They have survey and a poll for the day. They have so many ways to earn that it is easy to rack up points!
The best site ever. I highly recommend to my friend. My gift card was fast and easy. The site is pretty simple and easy to use. I am happy, I signed up.
I am able to have extra money for buying things I want or need. I give gift cards for Birthday and Christmas gifts. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it!
It's pretty simple and free money. Can be time consuming. I love the video apps but I get disqualified from most of the surveys.
I love swagbucks i hughly reccomend. Its awesome i like being able to really get gift cards its fast very fast
Ive earned at least $300 with Swagbucks. This isnt a get rich quick thing but for things you are going to buy anyway might as well earn some money back. An example... buy a groupon gift card from Swagbucks my gift cards plus... earn swagbucks. Use your Groupon gift card at Groupon through Swagbucks... earn more Swagbucks.
I was pretty skeptical at first since I've tried sites like this before and they're usually scams. BUT SWAGBUCKS WORKS. Only a couple weeks in and I've made hundreds $$$. Definitely recommend.
For a busy professional, it's more tedious than I'd hoped it would be, but I am reaping the rewards of it!
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
