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.

Definitely not something to dedicate all your time to, but if you can find a way to work it into your daily or weekly routine in a way that fits naturally, it's a fun and simple way to make some extra spending money! Part of the learning curve is definitely figuring out what does and doesn't work for you as an individual and what takes more time than its worth, but my favorite is to check in regularly and let small things build up over time until you can cash them out for gift cards. They seem to have some good cash back deals, too, which I'll have to look into in the future.
If you have spare time and need a little extra cash Swagbucks is a good business to deal. There are lots of ways to make $$$
On this site. If you need money fast this isn't the site for you but they have lots of ways to pick up cash. The easiest way is by taking a picture of your receipts from almost any store and sending to them to their website. They also have surveys on their site a
As a word of caution I have had some trouble on their site with the screen freezing at the end of the survey so that I could not submit the completed survey. You will never get rich doing surveys but if you want an extra 100.00 a month this is a good place to go. Payment is quick through PayPal or by gift card. I got 2 $25.00 Visa gift cards for $47.00 cause the cards were on sale. On a scale of 10 I would give them an 8.
I loved my $3 gift certificate, although it took a really long time. Free is fun, no doubt. I'd do more if there were more ways to accumulate.
Nice gig to earn free gift certificates. It takes awhile to accumulate it. Most surveys disqualify me so useless for trying. Not going well with the surveys to earn.
Great family business. Shows up on time. Completes the job within the terms of estimate. Leaves the site clean and free of debris.
Everyone has a few minutes, few hours to play and surf on the phone and make money doing it. There is no losers doing this, everyone is a winner.
Swagbucks is not as good as it used to be but it's still the best free rewards program on the web. :)
Have been using Swagbucks for a bit now. Works pretty much as stated. You get out what you put into it
It doesnt get any easier than this. Simply answer questions, buy things that you normally do already, print coupons to save even more money, all while earning points for giftcards.
I used to use it more, but I once got an email that I was abusing the service despite that fact that I used it the way I would other search engines and so I pretty much quit using it.
Actually works and even though some of the surveys don't work I the app is still a worthwhile thing that actually rewards you for taking surveys.
A great way to spend some of your free time, its very easy and fun to earn gift cards, and it does not take very long to do
Super easy to use and I love that you can earn almost anywhere shopping online. I was able to redeem my first set of points for a $100 gift card to Walmart.
They NEED a better way to give the credit for following their rules! They aren't being fair! Please review your rules!
I really like Swagbucks and all of the options they have for you to earn points for gift cards. The surveys are easy and it's so much more to do on their site.
The surveys are a great way to earn gift cards. I like the surveys so the points add up fast if I do 5 a day
Swagbucks is a fun way to earn gift cards and it is very easy to use. I enjoy answering the daily poll questions.
If I do alot of surveys in one day I can easily earn enough points for a $10 gift card. It's somewhat time consuming but if wanted I could spread them out more and still average out a good amount of sb with very minimal effort. If I saved my sb for mabye a week while doing a few surveys a day I could easily work my way up to a larger $25-50 gift card and averaging $35 a week from answering some questions ain't that damn bad.
As I said just getting into swag and find it fun, looking forward to using more. That is why I gave 4 stars. Cannot provide a photo I am going to save up and use it on something I would like to get from Amazon
Swagbucks is a great way to earn gift cards and rewards. The surveys are easy to complete and you can pick the surveys that fit your time.
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
