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.

I've been a member of Swagbucks for many years, and my daughter was a member long before me! She convinced me to join, and I'm so glad. It gives this old man something to do. LOL
I've seen a lot of people make comments on other sites or complain that Swagbucks is a scam because they aren't making money as fast as they want. That simply is not true. Basically 1 SB (Swagbuck) is equal to 1 penny, so 100 SB is equal to $1.00. There are sweepstakes you can enter for a few SB, but my daughter and I, we are gift card people. To get a gift card, you need to earn at least 300 SB. I try to hold out for the $5 or $10 cards if I can. For me, the quickest way to earn SB is to take a survey. This also happens to be the most frustrating part of the process. Sometimes you can try many times and not qualify for the surveys, but that isn't Swagbucks fault! Surveys can also take quite a while to finish, longer than they claim, but the payout is sweet! You can shop and earn SB for things you want to buy anyway, and you can go into their Discover area and get mega SB for trying out new things. All in all, these things take Time. The more you invest in it, whether it be time or money, (I've never spent anything) the more you will get.

Our categories make your site one of the hardest to submit a request for help! A simple request for help can't be generalized.
This site is easy to use, you get free gift cards doing multiple things and you don't even have to break a sweat. If you want free money definitely use swagbucks. It is hard to search through the categories but other than that it is very easy to use.
I like this site the best because there's always something to do to earn swagbucks. I've made over $250 in gift cards in the last year and lots of cool stuff through offers..
Fun to do and addictive. I have done this for awhile and it's a great way to get great deals at my favorite stores.
I am earning Swag bucks at a steady rate. I Have had just a few issues but overall very happy with the app and the accessibility to be able to earn bucks to get the giftcards I want. They have helped with christmas presents and money towards my upcoming wedding
Swag bucks gives me free gift cards. What's not to like? Usually just do grocery coupons because it's easy.
I have used swagbucks for years and have been very happy until about a month ago. Not sure if they hired new people or what but now when I contact customer service they never get back to you regarding missing swagbucks
I appreciate Swagbucks and how they give us many opportunities to earn our points. They are not like many out there where you have to work 100 times as hard just to make the payout mark.
Swagbucks replaces the need to use different sites or apps to make extra money. Through swagbucks, you can earn by watching short videos, shopping at almost any retailer (in-store and online), printing coupons, buying certain items for rebates, taking pictures of your receipts from almost anywhere, searching the web, answering surveys, discovering new sites and apps, playing games and more. They also have all the promo codes that any other site has and with the Swagbutton, they even apply them for you while you're shopping online. They also host a trivia game Monday-Thursday@ 8PM EST called SB Live which has become a part of my weekly routine because it's just that awesome. But before discovering Swagbucks, I was using 1 site to watch videos in order to earn rewards, another site to earn cash back on my purchases, multiple rebate/reciept apps, apps that reward you to play games, sites that had promo codes, sites to print coupons and more but Swagbucks offers all of those on one site so its definitely my favorite now of all other money-making sites, apps, programs, or companies.
I have used SB for several years and it is easy and I have redeemed several gift cards. I could get more points if I had time to take more surveys but I do what I can.
This is a great site to engage if you are a shopper or wish to earn gift cards through their various watch videos, answer surveys and other activities. I have used it at times daily and extensively and at others when busy working I have used it as my go to through the shop links for all of my online orders to at least get those points for something I would purchase anyway. Even using it that simple way, points ad up so quickly for your choice of store or visa gift cards.
I have seen when searching Swagbucks online on search engines results where I catch a phrase like its a scam as the subject title - but I have been with this site for years now, and they are a great group of people and no it is legitimite and they also try to have various team activities to also make it interactive between users and a bit of group feel of fun. Overall I enjoy the opportunity to have this site available to me.
If wondering, I would suggest to just check it out for yourself because its all free to sign up and take a look around and engage it.
I have had Swagbucks for sometime. I use it off an on, but it is fun to do the surveys and get bucks for shopping online.
I use a couple old phones to run Swagbucks videos on the mobile apps all day to earn a little extra cash.
Really love this app. It is easy to earn credits and the survey are enjoyable. I also have enjoyed the daily poll questions and the format in which they are portrayed.
I have been doing swag bucks for a few years now. There are so many different ways to earn, and that is one of the things that appeals to me. I like doing surveys, so I concentrate on that. I have used swag bucks to pay for everything from gasoline to groceries to Christmas presents. I also highly recommend for people who are bilingual. There are many surveys that are looking for Spanish speakers for surveys about things from product use to TV reviews, Try swag bucks---you're going to love it!
I find Swagbucks to be very different from other survey platforms. With Swagbucks, I can dedicate a few hours and from those points I earn, I can receive multiple gift cards. I told myself that I would never use my own money to reload my Starbucks card, now I'll just take surveys and earn!
With the chrome extension, it is so easy to eat points for shopping. The extension pops up when you enter an online shopping site and it is one click to get your points.
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
