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 enjoy the app and have used it to redeem money. I especially like it now that I have the money after my friends called it a scam. None of them are convinced yet and have told me to just get a job. Swagbucks works for someone like me, my mother wont let me get a job, so Im planning on using Swagbucks to make more spending money/college money. I enjoy using the app to make swagbucks, but unfortunately it has bugs. If I am disqualified from a survey it typically will not take me back to the survey page, instead I have to force quit the app. Once I log back in, the survey is still there. Also I took two 15 SB surveys and I got no rewards. A survey also disqualified me once I was finished with it.
Love swagbucks and recommend to friends and family. Good experience with swagbucks and look forward to continue the experience.
Swagbicls is a pretty good site to earn SB (points) that can be redeemed for gift cards or sent to your PayPal (minimum $25 to redeem). However, they system makes it a bit hard to earn that SB when time goes on. I've been on the site for a two years, and at first it was easy to gain SB but ovettime the number of SB decreased. For example, watching videos through the Swagbutton tab went from 3 SB to 1 SB, 1 SB could have been earned by watching 6 video online. It has double now and sometimes some videos don't play properly or give you the SB you should have earned. Their other app extension to watch videos or take surveys sometimes lag or stop working well, which can be really frustrating. Still, I see the effort because they introduced SwagIQ, which is a fun way to earn SB by playing a trivial game. Sadly, it's only during a certain time of the day.
Great survey site, easy to use, make money fast. Fun surveys/opinion polls. Good deals at so many shopa
Swagbucks is great. They do what they claim they will do. If there is a problem they address it quickly. Occasionally the surveys will have issues but nobody is perfect. If I have problems with points they fix it within 24 hours. Overall Swagbucks is my favorite survey app
I have been using Swagbucks for many years and have gotten tons of gift cards. It's a lot of fun! I plan to continue using it and earning more giftcards. Swagbucks is awesome!
I love swagbucks. I have earned 100's of dollars since I joined and have bought many items using Amazon gift cards I have obtained free with swagbucks.
My best purchase was a hot tub!
I love swagbucks.
I enjoy going on swagbucks and earning point to turn into credit cards. Its easy to use and I basically have had no issues with the surveys. If I dont feel comfortable with the topics or questions I dont continue with the survey. Easy to redeem points
I've Ben using Swagbucks for years and it's a great way to casual earn bonus gift cards without too much extra effort.
Love it, need more casino games. And fun ways to get more points. I have it installed because i do a lot of random google searches.
Though I still have a lot to learn, I have to say I am a fan of Swagbucks! I enjoy doing the activities and getting rewarded for it! The staff at Swagbucks have been helpful when I have needed assistance.
I feel badly when others complain about this site. Sometimes people are very rude with their comments. I understand that there are occasional glitches, but know that the staff is working on making everything work more smoothly. We just need to be patient and remember this is a choice to be involved--and to be grateful for what we receive.
I see a lot of negative in here but I make at least 100 extra a month and I get my rewards fast ( I get amazon cards at 25.00 increments) for me its found money
Website works, but App could be better. There are a lot of disqualifications for surveys, and although you often get 1 SB even if you are disqualified it is frustrating. Also, sometimes the videos under "watch" do not load properly and there are a ton of adds.
Very cool app! Actually gives you points to redeem gift cards =) have recommended it to friends and they like it as well!
Best website I use it everyday and really love it. Just wish they would quite adding more and more video s to get points
Ive tried most of them by now and Swagbucks is one of the best. Ive been doing it for about 4 months, just in my spare time and Ive already gotten two $25 Amazon gift cards. You dont get paid much per survey, but its better than nothing. Yesterday, I did one while I was waiting to get my oil changed. LOL, I made 50 cents while everybody else was sitting there staring blankly at the TV. I love Swagbucks!
I enjoyed it.It was a great experience. I enjoy playing swagiq and redeeming them for gift cards. Very great way to get things you want and need that you may not be able to afford.
The surveys are okay but often have problems and drop you for no apparent reason. Trying to redeem my Swagbucks was a freaking nightmare, although once I FINALLY got through to someone, the problem was resolved immediately.
It's a good site. Minor annoyances here and there but who can complain when you're getting free things
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
