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.

Awesome way to earn rewards for things I would do or buy anyway! It's easy to use, and the gift cards are easy to redeem.
I have been using the site for 3 months now and it turns out that Swagbucks is pretty legit. They have countless ways to earn money and get cash back from purchases. Easy way to earn some extra cash in your free time.
I love using Swagbucks, and love that it makes it possible for us to go to a nice restaurant once a month when we are living on a tight budget. Thanks
Swagbucks is a great way to make extra money and answer questions about my lifestyle and family every day and I love it! I will continue to do it for years!
Great place to really earn and save everyone can just join and have a good time make them swagbuckz
I love getting rewards from my swagbucks cash back, they come in handy since I do a lot of online shopping
I enjoy swagbucks i may only make 26$ a month but its worth because i have a son that my real cash goes to and cant have side job hope to make more over time thank you
While I do love Swagbucks, there are a few things that keep it from getting that 5th star. If I could give them half of it, I would.
1. Need more ACTUALLY free offers on "Discover"
2. A week or more to receive a gift that was won in a swagstakes or requested from turning in Swagbucks seems a bit long. Ok. Really long. What could you possibly be verifying?
3. The games section. 2 super basic games for pennies or GSN games that you have to pay to play.
But... Swagbucks is still possibly the best site of this type, especially when you take in account the minimum payouts for the majority of the survey sites. Speaking of surveys, while you will likely not qualify for many, a lot of them pay rather well and that adds up pretty quick. If you're active and re f er a few friends who become active as well, you can make a decent amount of "$".
I never had a problem before but since they've gotten new members it has started taking longer to get GCs and sometimes you have to fight to get the ones you order. I. E. I am waiting on three cards that say 'Email for Approval' and I did it multiple times but no results yet (been waiting three weeks on two card and a week on the thrid)
Easy way to kill some time and earn some free amazon gift cards! Some of the surveys are a pain in the but... and sometimes you get denied like 50x... but you're getting free money so why not?
Overall, I like visiting Swagbucks as it rewards me for various activities. However, the website has some glitch on weekends which makes it a little user unfriendly retrieving info from the menu bar. Furthermore, SBs rewarded seem less for all the time and effort put in to complete the activities.
I like Swagbucks but a lot of their surveys don't accept me so I usually only make Swagbucks by shopping.
Love this app and have my friend to thank for introducing me to it. I could make money much quicker if I had the time to watch videos, etc. Hopefully soon I'll have more time and can make money through PayPal gift cards for Christmas. Everyone needs to use this app. I've not been a member long and have made $25. Not a lot to some but any is better than none. The more you do the more you make!
Swagbucks is an upstanding and fun site. Easy ways to earn swag! I just redeemed my first gift card. The only set back is it does take some time to get ecards, with that said you do get it and it is worth it! Thanks SwagBucks! :)
I like SwagBucks except that I end up disqualified 80% of the time. It becomes frustrating especially when I spend time answering qualifications questions, it tells me I qualified. I answer MANY questions only to end up unqualified again.
I found that mostly, it is worth putting in some time to earn gift cards. However, it can be a little hard to figure out which offers are legit and which aren't.
Did not take long to earn gift cards. I am an active member some days are better than others. Some days you can get a good survey others not.
I used it whenever i have a little free tome ir while watching tv and rack up points which I use to get amazon gift cards.
I've gotten a $25, $5, and $3 Amazon gift card from them successfully within one week. It takes a lot of time and patience, but hey, if you have a lot of time (like I do as a student on summer vacation), it could totally be worth your time!
I use it daily and have cashed in $150 in the last bunch of months to feed my videogame addiction. Very easy to use on both the computer and smartphone.
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
