I spent last year researching mystery shopping and online surveys, and can tell you without hesitation that Swagbucks is the best survey site I have found. There are many ways to earn SBs (Swagbucks), which can be exchanged for all kinds of gift cards, from $1 value upwards. Your reward will be emailed to you within 48 hrs, and can be used without any issue. There is a daily online game called Swagbucks Live, which is fun to play and usually pays a few SBs a day, depending on your general knowledge skills. There are also in app contests, shopping coupons, cashback sites, and various other ways to earn. Give this site a try. I think you will be impressed. (And no, I was not paid to write this review.).
I easily earned $35 in Amazon gift cards. I was a skeptic at first about the legitimacy of the site but it is very real.
I have been an active swagbucks user for a couple of year now. I have used the proceeds for the various activities to purchase an iPad, an Apple Watch and load my iTunes account to support Netflix since joining and have it for the next few years for sure. I enjoy meeting at least
My first daily goal and in doing that, I am guaranteed a free $5 gift card each month just in bonuses SB. I have been banking my SB for a big purchase, just don't have anything in mind yet but I also make sure I get at least a $25 each month at the discounted price. Shout out to swagbucks and allowing my to buy the things I don't necessarily need but definitely wanted to get!
Best site to earn a little extra cash. I use it every week. I cash out through PayPal. Never had any issues.
I've been a Swagbucks user for about 5 years. For a long while it was just once in a while when I'd remember it. Over the last possibly 3 years, it's non stop. I may not into the money maker items suck as buying a product and trying it out for high points and then canceling later because I don't have time to remember all the cancels etc. but, I do surveys, searches, shop and some free Discover offers daily and presently average about $50 to $100 a month. I put mine to PayPal and save up for vacations, Holidays and any thing else it might be needed for.
Very easy to use and very fast shipment. Although it does take time it is a great way to earn money on the side.
I earned money easily just by shopping offers in store and uploading a receipt cashed out my first visa gift card in under two weeks
Absolute bunch of scam artists. I completed the Rise of Kingdoms Discover offer - download and complete CH17 within a certain time frame for 4000SB.
No. Payout. I spent 3 months chasing it to eventually be told that their tracking didn't register it, so no payout for me.
If your business model relies on app tracking, then make sure it works.
AVOID AT ALL Costs.
Swagbucks is the only legit site i have found to do surveys and other things to get free gift cards. I had tried over 5 or 6 other survey apps and couldn't even get through a survey without getting kicked out half way through but Swagbucks isn't like that! Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
Love redeeming Swagbucks for gift cards to restaurants or to Lowe's which I use a lot. Nice to get free money
I use swagbucks everyday. It's a great way to share your opinion and earn a little extra cash at your convenience.
I love this site for making money just doing things you would normally do, like searches and buying items on the interwebs.
Great way to earn money but surveys are very long and you get disqualified alot and you dont get that many points you can earn about 5 dollars a day if you do it for a long period of time
Swagbucks is fun if you think of it as a game. Enjoy the aspect of earning points, but just don't think you'll make a good amount of money. I like it because the surveys pass the time, and I like earning back money with purchases that I would make regardless.
I love Swagbucks. It Had helped me to Pay for a surprise trip to Disney for my family. It has also helped when I needed extra gas or food money.
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
