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.

It used to be a lot easier to earn points. Now they make it so hard to earn enough to redeem points. I have also completed a lot of surveys that are really time consuming and then don't get the points for them.
I use Swagbucks at least once a week. I find taking the surveys time-consuming. I can do them while I am watching TV most of the time, though. It is nice to get some extra $$$ now and again. I see lots of complaints about how long it takes to get your gift card. I presume it is younger folks complaining who want their reward instantly. I don't have a problem waiting for a few days... like the good old days... had to wait for your rebate to come in the mail. Now it takes about 3 or 4 days instead of 8 weeks... LOL.
You spend some time and you get gift cards for free. You have some fun doing surveys and get cash back on your purchases at your favorite store's. I'm averaging $10 a month. Love it.
Swagbucks certainly isn't perfect--the surveys could really be optimized to be more convenient for the user, and the Watch section works very poorly, taking incredibly long times just to load up ads or videos that are often only 1-3 minutes long. Still, there are lots of way to earn small amount of Swagbucks that add up over time, and I have little to no difficulty regarding receiving gift cards over time.
I don't earn through surverys because I never seem to qualify. I only have so much time in a day to spend trying to qualify. I don't have enough time to do video watching. So I earn mostly through shopping.
I was skeptical at first but I made $25 and now I'm almost up to another $50 in 2 months. It's not going to pay your bills but does make extra money
Doing surveys, getting points which transfer into gift cards. Pretty sweet. I have bought many things using Swagbucks
The best way to learn about new items, view short clips of recent news, purchase items on a discount while earning points for gift cards
I use this to get my Starbucks GCs so I dont pay full price! It might take some time but I let it run while I watch TV and it adds up on its own!
Easy to use, free money, can do it for a couple of minutes a day or as long as you want, can turn swagbucks into its of different gift cards
I'm happy with using it so far. I got my first gift card and used it with ease. I would highly recommend trying it out.
Amazing, spend some time a day and get some good money back. No need to be there all day or all the time just maybe an hour a day and maybe do some offers and you'll be on your way.
I ASKED ABOUT 2 PAYMENTS THAT I WON SERVERAL TIME AND STILL NO ANSWER TO MY SATAFACTION. THEY SAY THEY FIND THEM BUT I GIVE THEM THE ORDER NUMBER. THEY MUST BE DUMB IF THEY CAN'T FIND THE ORDER NUMBER
I love how easy it is. And I learn about new products. I really enjoy it! The surveys are easy to navigate, the videos are enjoyable to watch, and I love shopping through their site! Plus they have games & fun a IQ game! I highly recommend this program. Its great!
I've earnt just under 100 dollars in the last couple of months. I love this site. You can't go wrong, being rewarded for all the things you would usually do online anyway!
Swagbucks is great! When signing up, I didnt think it would be worth my time, but it is actually quite a lot of fun and definitely worthwhile.
This is a great site that provides many ways to earn Real rewards that you can use. I have been a member for a few years and I love all the different opportunities they provide to help me succeed in getting a reward.
Many ways to earn and its very easy but still have to contact customer service once in a while for not receiving credit. Love to use and will continue to use 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
