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.

Swagbucks is very easy to use and I really enjoy the gift cards. There are many different ways to earn money
I can always rely on Swagbucks! It's a really good way to make extra cash for little purchases and gifts
Some of the purchases didn't show up on my account. Couple of surveys I completed
Were not counted. I spent 30,40 min if not more of my time for nothing.
Sent me same amazon gift code meaning that I redeemed my swagbucks but got no gift card.
And to crown it all, there is no customer care which can fix these problems.
No more swagbucks for me. Not worth it. There are other cashback websites.
Surveys are hit or miss buggy at times. Videos are great. Some of the discover offers are good. Stay clear of Offer Toro not honest do not credit or answer request for credit.
Over all site good.
Love doing surveys and getting points so I can get my Gift Card. I use that to buy groceries. It allowed me to buy the ham and get a free turkey from HyVee this Thanksgiving. Every penny helps now a days.
Since I order a lot of things on line, Swagbucks really makes sense. I had enough Swagbucks to fund 2 gift cards of $25 and $50 this Christmas. Cost me nothing and makes a great present.
This site allows you to earn extra money while at home. There are many opportunities to earn bonus points everyday day.
I love the payouts but I don't like that I down 10-15 minutes in a survey and then not be eligible without any reward if I maxed out my daily sb
Easy peasy way to pay for my Amazon and Starbucks addiction, just by watching videos and shoping where i normally shop anyways.
I love the easyness of earning point and gift cards. It takes only a few hours to earn the daily goal and less than a day receive my gift card when I redeem my points.
I love swagbucks. I just wish the SB amout was greater per survey. Other then that I use it at least once a day and have no problem getting gift cards.
This is the easiest way for me to feed my Amazon addiction. I make swagbucks, earn gift cards, then use those gift cards to earn more swagbucks. It's an amazing cycle.
I LOVE SWAGBUCKS. Sometimes it won't always credit me for discovery offers but anytime it doesn't, customer service is quick to resolve it.
What's not to love!? Get paid to shop get paid to give reviews! So easy and free! I love the gift card choices.
Swagbucks used to be better. This last year there have been more random survey bump outs where you do over half the survey and then it just suddenly clicks back to your dashboard and drops you 1 pt for effort. The videos rarely load right and I have all the updates on my smart phone to make video work everywhere else. The videos will go for a while and then stop and won't reload or won't continue. I find that I spend way more time trying to earn points than earning points, as things seem glitch etc. I will spend the time when I have it, but to spend that time and then have nearly nothing to show for it makes it much less worthwhile than Swagbucks used to be. I appreciate that they have added some bonuses to the surveys, but I'm not entirely convinced this makes it worth coming back to doing it more regularly like I had been in the past.
I had an amazing experience with Swagbucks, and honestly wouldn't change anything about the app, or how it works. Makes life easy.
Honestly, ive been using swagbucks for a long time, at first i did nothing after earning a 5 dollar card for a video game on facebook. I mean like years lol but i recently picked it up this year again and so far me and my friends whom are referred to me have been able to earn a decent amount in order to pay for loads of in game currency across multitude of games. Its hard to if even really possible to cash out for real money but i suppose paypal would be the best options however it seems like it would take a long time to make enough swag bucks to earm a paypal card that is 1sb/penny. I believe the 20 or 25 dollar card is but anything less is at a high penny to swagbucks cost. I mean itd still be very little work for 25 etc in my humble opinion. I mean i just watch videos all day and when i cant sleep at night, occasionally ill do surveys and try to find discover deals. Across 2 months of use now ive been able to maintain 25 bucks worth of swagbucks per month, so has my friend whos disabled and stays home all day because he cant go anywhere. But he doea that by taking surveys like 3 hours out of the day like 3 days a week. Makes me jealous i always get dqd. But ive cashed in on the downloadable games. 2419sb king of avalon reach kingdomlvl 18. Pssssh easy 24 bucks just takes patience. If done with the right reward you can even potentially get even more through discounts etc
I love this survey site! I get the best points for surveys. I'm a newbie and I already redeemed 2 gift cards!
Only been a member for a month and half, maybe 2 and just redeemed my first $10 gift card.
However, if I would have put more time in the past several weeks, I probably could have redeemed another $10 one or a higher value gift card.
Put in the time, and you will be rewarded!
I like SB and I use it daily but I must be honest. It used to be better. It paid better, it stood behind it's members better. It was more enjoyable. I still hold out hope it will return to it's former self.
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
