SwagBucks is a great way to get some extra spending money, especially now when the Holidays are coming. You do have to figure out what does and doesn't credit, but once you do the sky is the limit as to what you can earn. I get at least $500 in gift certificates every month and many months much more.

Signed up. Quite often start survey and they get lots of info on you before disqualifying you as not eligible for that survey as they need different cohort!
One link from Swagbucks offered Swagbucks to register for Vacation site info.
I have Norton security installed and this site was flagged up immediately as "dangerous site"
Alarm bells ringing and I have received various unsolicited cold calls and Mail shots! A bit of a coincidence?
Seems like a risky business to make peanuts,

Huge waste of time, let me count thy ways. How much I hate this site. 1)Its very very difficult to earn points, unless you have expendable income and shop through them, you'll earn very little. I've earned a whopping 25 dollars in six months with them. 2) surveys are hardly ever posted, when they are they fill up quickly and I dont qualify 99 percent of the time. Sometimes I find this out after answering questions for 10 mins. 3) Sure, you could watch videos, enjoy the constant freezing and crashing from their playlists, oh and viruses on your computer as well. This site sucks, at least their mobile app is decent. Their search engine is garbage as well but thats pretty much the only hope I had to earn points, I got maybe one out of every ten searches.

When I first started Swagbucks, I was wowed. I was earning about 400 swagbucks (around $4) a day. I got so many gift cards. I've made a few hundred dollars on the site. After the first few months though, it seems like things dry up. The people who give out surveys gather information about you and know who you are, regardless of what you answer, so you get disqualified from a lot of surveys because they don't want repeat survey takers.

Most of the stuff in Discover is a scam. Like for instance, if you go to Peanut Labs and look at most of their offers. You can find things like "earn 140 swagbucks and get a free Starbucks card if you fill out the questions." You will never earn that Starbucks gift card OR the points.The website it links you to will ask you question after question and then inevitably take you to a point where you can't proceed. If you've ever seen one of those "congratulations, you've won!" ads and clicked on them, this is along the same line. You can complain to Swagbucks and more than likely they'll give you the swagbucks, but not the gift card.

Swagbucks is a mixed bag. You can make a nice amount of spending money, but it takes time, and you will have to fight them for swagbucks you earned that you didn't receive.

I've spent two or three, no make that four or five, times as much time filling out the same questions over and over to "qualify" for taking an actual survey than I have actually taking a survey. So, if a survey says you'll earn 20 SB for a 15 minute survey, which actually takes more like 20-25 minutes or more once you finish "qualifying" for the survey, You are earning less than a penny a minute. Wow! A whopping $. 60 an hour. That's 60 CENTS an hour. Totally disappointed.

Try to get the money youve earned from Swagbucks and youll soon find its not simple. They insist your paypal account is verified, fair enough. Problem is, you go through the process of verifying your paypal account only to find they want further verification mobile phone or mail. Of course the mobile option doesnt work (at least not for a U. K. use on contract), so you have to wait for a postcard to arrive (yeah, good luck with that). Why not send an email, or a message within the messaging service on the site? Probably coz they dont want to pay out, and the more they frustrate you, the more chance you give up your hard earned pennies and move on. Totally frustrating and not worth the effort for such little (impossible to collect) rewards.

I've earned one or two 5-10 dollar gift cards on this website over the few years I've been a member. If you really want to make money on here, you need lots of free time. Some of these surveys require a person to be 18 or a member of something or an owner of a certain product. It takes a long time to find a survey that a person actually qualifies for, and sometimes they don't even give very many points for those. Most of the points I get are from the daily poll or the Swag codes that are occasionally found on FaceBook or email. If you get a gift card code, they work, but they are just hard to get in general. Basically, they are what they say they are, but there are easier and more effective ways to make money.

Using trialpay provided access to enter my phones details I have not received an unlock code. So disappointing!

I have tried to contact the company providing the unlock code but haven't received any response. I then tried contacting trialpay who have pretty much told me it isn't their problem!

How a company which has made money from the transaction can wash their hands in this way is unbelievable. I would give them 0 stars except that this isn't allowed and at least they answered their emails. I cant even unsuscribe!

It may seem okay at first when you join but it will get much worse, I guarantee it! They will chew you up for a bit while you are racking up credits and then they will spit you out faster then you can say 'SCAM" once you build up your credits. I have only been a member less than a month and it is hard enough to build up SBs (credits) but once you start getting close to your 2500 points in your first 30 days in order to get a free $5 worth, they will screw you over.

I am currently at around 2400 lifetime SBs (credits) and I only have 1 week to get to 2500 to get my free $5. But I am also at around 390 SBs to get another $5 that I rightfully earned. Ironically things started going weird this past week. Right now I can't get even into the site. The screen is all distorted and I can't do a thing on the site.

But I started noticing that MOST surveys were suddenly not crediting after completion after I spent 20 - 30 mins answering all of their survey questions and giving my opinions. (not qualifying questions, OPINIONS).

Then, I started getting virus screens while watching their videos which would lock up my screen and I had to reboot over and over to try to get out of that virus screen. Then I had to spend 3 - 4 hours each time running full scans to contain/quarantine/get rid of the Zeus virus.

I have a feeling that I am never going to see this last potential $10 that I am trying to get to. I only have 100 SBs to go. So obviously this is their ploy to run away with my hard earned SBs!

They are CROOKS! WHY anyone wants to do business like this and treat their good customers this way is totally beyond me!

I am so disgusted with this trashy site, you are lucky to get full amount of points from at least 2 surveys a day, the rest are rigged for failure and frustration, forget gamer rage, it's survey rage this time around and most surveys tell you we found better one for you and the same thing goes for the one they throw at you in an endless loop of arrogant, annoying and pure out ridiculousness so to speak, I am at the end of my rope with these con artists, also the offers they give you are next to impossible to meet the goal without wasting your cash and only receiving 15% of it back, some of these offers want you to subscribe to something useless and stupid, not to mention they use your info to flood your inbox with unwanted garbage.
