Swagbucks presents a mixed reputation among its users, with some customers appreciating the variety of ways to earn rewards, such as surveys and games.

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 absolutely LOVE Swagbucks! There are so many wonderful deals with products I already use or places I already shop at, now I get money back from doing what I already was. Ive also been introduced to some fantastic products and opportunities as well. It does take much time at all, I am a full time mommy, secondary teacher, and grad student, anyone can do it!
Great for earning gift cards. Takes alot of time and patience. Start at least 10 surveys and waste around 30 to 45 min before I actually qualify for 1. Wish the pay out was higher per survey. Might actually make my time worth it. There are worse sure though.
I'm satisfied with this company. Is one of the few that actually pays the only draw back is the high rate of disqualification from surveys but that varied based on your geographics and demographics.
I love SB and earning free gift cards. My only complaint would be that sometimes certain elements of the website don't always work and the surveys do not always reward you
Love swagbucks! Sometimes it's a little hard to get surveys, but I enjoy doing swagbucks and getting great things with the gift cards I earn.
Ive dabbled in surveys and coupon programs for years. Its nice to actually get something for giving valuable time and information. Other programs make it very difficult to achieve anything worth it, and just leaves one feeling frustrated and stupid! The only negative comment i have, is the crashing of a survey after putting in 15-20 minutes, and not receiving awards.
I used tobuse swagbucks every day but when most things stopped crediting and support isn't helpful i decided I needed to take a step back because the stress was causing a decline in my health.
Swagbucks is a quick easy and fun way to earn money. I truly love it. It fills time for me when I am bored. It is really something I can fall back on.
I was involved with Swagbucks several years ago, moved on, and forgot all about it. I was bored, and while looking for something for Xmas, my search lead me back to Swagbucks. I found it is reliable, does not take much time out of my day, and it has definitely steered me back in the direction of things I had forgotten to consider. Any negatives I find in the partners links etc. are no greater in occurance I experienced several years ago. The fail and glitch rate are about the same. All my interactions have been handled in a fair if not, prompt amount of time.
It's a good way to get money as a 15 year old, I'm not old enough for a job but I can get gift cards through this. The annoying thing is once I got 900 SB from a survey and I did not receive it, I contacted support and they refused to give me my points, I had wasted my time. Also I get kicked out of a lot of surveys but in general I'm enjoying the opportunity
I like the site. Wish some of the surveys paid more. Would pay off a lot more if I shopped online more. Will definitely keep it around for Christmas time.
Took to long to get 10 dollars. Im always getting kicked out of surveys one day i went through 35 surveys in an hour. You do the survey for maybe 5 min then its says its filled up. Whats that? Stay away.
I use Swagbucks while I commute by train each day. Love it! It is easy to use and I have been able to earn a few gift cards for my time.
Cool its good bcuz you get free money and then use it for stuff you need but I need my Wal-Mart five dollar gift card
OKAY SO LOVE SWAG BUCKS! I love saving money and the charities allows to give and receive woooooo hooo! WHo needs Caffeine...
It's not terribly hard to earn rewards, but you do have to be willing to do a lot of work for it. Lots of watching videos, if you find that you're not able to do many surveys. It's better for you if you already have money to spare in the swag shop, then it's a good way to get some extra bang for your buck.
I really enjoy doing the swag bucks surveys. I only wish they would give more then one penny on some of the surveys. I do wilsh they would not always ask the same questions, and with the serch and earn it would be nice if they would give out more, but all in all the. I really like doing the surveys
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
