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.

I am new to doing surveys, and to actually find one that is real and not a scam is extremely cool to me. I have not made a lot but for what I have made in gift cards is a nice blessing during this time of year. Thank You Swagbucks and I hope to be able to save and earn much much more during the holidays. Merry Christmas Everyone
I just answer some survey and got free money on my account. At first I could not believe it, but believe it I did. Long live the pioneers
Awesome App, love it! I've already got count less gift cards from taking easy surveys! Super easy and fun to use. I look forward getting on this app daily!
This is my favorite survey website and it has awesome rewards. However, I wish the PayPal feature would work correctly. I can't ever redeem my Swagbucks for PayPal cash because it says it's not verified even though I've checked multiple times and everything is correct.
Spend a few minutes per day and earn rewards. This is fun. Rewards are generous and easy to earn. You have got to try it.
I've been swagging for years (at least 10) and I swag everyday. I use the money I earn to pay down my mortgage principal. Free money. Can't get better than that.
I've been a swagbuck user since February 2014, I like the fact that I can get $5 right away to use towards dog food, gasoline, groceries or anything else that I need to get, however I don't think taking 3 days or longer to get a gift card should take that long it should be instant, that would be the instant reward, the ultimate prize. They shouldn't take away all of their searches so we can actually make extra cash, they need to stop tweaking it, there was nothing wrong with it to start with.
Swagbucks is easy, fun, and really pays off for just a few minutes a day. I've been using it daily for years, every time I have a few mins online, and have been able to cover most of my Christmas shopping every year with the gift cards and cash I've earned. I don't know what I'd do without it!
Absolutely love doing the surveys and games for free money I've already cashed out for a couple gift cards cash money in PayPal
I have earned enough points to get couple of gift cards. There are many ways to earn, but most of my points have come from online shopping through Swagbucks. It was quick and easy to redeem my points for gift cards
It gives me good deals and I make some some spair cash to boot. So far I've made over $20 and saved over $100 on different discounts and online purchases
Swagbucks is a good for me since I just retired and earning some extra cash in my free time. Easy answering the online surveys and I made $25 for a hour of my time on one online group survey.
Swagbucks is a easy way for me to earn iTunes instead of spending my own money. Super simple to use and I've already earned two gift cards in just a week.

I have earned so many points with online shopping! I also enjoy the points from other tasks, etc. This site is fun!
I am a stay at home mom so I use this site to help me with deals and earn gift cards so I can buy my family things. It's wonderful!
I legit just got a 5$ gamestop card from here! Amazing company! Deserves way more attention than it has!
Shopping through Swagbucks or using the discovery deals is a great way to earn cash back. They have a large collection of participating stores, so there's almost always something I'm interested in or was going to buy already - yay! Plus, the rewards stack with credit card cashback, so you are doubly rewarded. Also, you can often cash out with gift cards on sale to up the value a bit more.
What I don't like is the time it takes transactions to show up... I get worried when my purchase still doesn't appear in the order record after 5 or 6 days. Also, the other deals (surveys, "watch") are a joke. Surveys always disqualify you even if you go through all the questions... I don't know if that's Swagbucks fault or if the survey makers are just scammers. I've stopped trying, because it takes too much time for a few pennies.
What other part time activity can you sit around in your pajamas, drinking coffee, and making money. I won't get rich, but it easily pays for my Netflix account. I get paid to print and spend the coupons (26 SB), and that's in addition to the value of the coupon. I get paid for searches and taking surveys. If you make the daily goal, you get additional SB. If you do that consistently, you get even more bonus SB. I just started doing this regularly about 3 months ago, so I earn from $100-$150 a month. The only draw back I find is that it is addictive for me.
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
