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.

Sometimes the sites for SB don't credit to swagbucks. I've played many and done tons of surveys without being credited. I love swagbucks I always have but I've had issues lately. I do recommend you to others as well. Thank you for listening.

I am a big fan of earning gift cards for taking surveys. I've never had an issue redeeming or receiving the gift cards. It's been a great experience.
Surveys are harder to get and discover is less reliable. I miss the old swagbucks where you could watch videos and actually get credited for it.
It's a great way to shop especially when funds are tight. It's easy to do the surveys accumulate the sb and get the gift card. Which gets delivered quickly
Locked my account randomly after a 33 day long support ticket with me having to fight for 5500 SB that I provided proof for every step of the way.
I earned enough of their swagbucks to get a $50.00 Visa Gift card. When I tried to claim it from an email they sent I was unable to do so. They have ignored my complaints and have not sent me the Gift card as I requested. As far as I'm concerned they're a stinking scam. Don't waste your time on these clowns.
Hi John! I apologize for the experience you have encountered. We are happy to look into this further for you and help you reach a resolution.
I will continue to give bad reviews until I get my money or get a hold of the Bbb you send me visa cards with the same numbers? Makes sense right
Hi Jacob! I am sorry to hear you ran into this experience. We are happy to review your inquiry, please be sure to check your messages. Thank you!
It was a decent app. Made a bit of side cash. Until i realized there is no actual way to recieve your money. I still have over 50$ stuck in the internet and it wont let me access it to pay for food or gas. So until i can access the money i earned it is getting a crap review. Don't hype the app up if you cant even afford to pay your people right. What am i going to do with money on my phone?

Love this site use it everyday. It's fun and I earn money for using it. So it is a win win situation for me.
Thank you for your continued support!
I've been Swagbucks member for over 10 years. Besides being a rewards website where I have a lot of fun, i've also earned many, many, many gift cards. Swagbucks always pays!
So excited to hear that you are enjoying your experience. :)
It so good and once you get past the tricky se purity details it becomes so worthy it gave 30 bucks in my first week
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I love swagbucks I'm happy doing reviews and using its coupons and also getting cash back. I already redeem 2 gift cards having extra money is so nice for a person who loves shopping and ordering online items like me.!
Congrats on the gift cards!
I've been earning alot since I started doing on swagbucks. There's just so many things that you can do to earn swagbucks that you can't help but to earn more than what you've gotten. Just to summarize, it can be addicting.
Very addicting! Thank you for being a member!
Love this company. I do surveys and get points, I then turn those points into giftcards. I always get the Amazon gift cards but there are other gift cards you can get.
Thank you for joining and we hope you enjoy the gift cards!
Fun and easy, and make money with coupons, pd to print and get 25 SB when you use. I watch videos daily, take surveys daily, and shop through SB often. Great for a retired person like me.
Happy to hear you enjoy the lower redemption amounts!
I've been a off and on user of Swagbucks for several years. I mostly just enter swag codes and watch videos. I typically earn enough each year to pay for my airfare and parking for my annual cruise. There are always extra ways to earn such as paid offers or surveys. I don't make a lot with those even though I know that others do.
Thank you for your continued support!
This is an awesome site! It is really easy to earn Swagbucks and redeem them for gift cards. I do wish the redemption didn't take as long as it does - but beggars can't be choosers! Still an easy, fun and addictive way to earn!
It took me about 3 or 4 days to get enough points for a 25 dollar gift card which is very good considering it didnt take much work although i just took surveys i got my gift card in an email 2 days later
Thank you for sharing your experience. Congrats on the gift card!
I have made slot if money.Its addictive fun and I enjoy it. Give it a try and I'll see what I mean..
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
