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.

I love swagbucks! It's an easy way to earn free money. It takes a while to get enough points because you don't qualify for all surveys you take, maybe like 20% for me I usually qualify kr less, but is definitely worth it if you have any free time.
So far so good. I've not had a real problem yet and my gift cards arrive sooner than advertised. The site can be daunting at first with so many things to do and so many menus to go through. But to those who are new or those who haven't done much with swag bucks yet, hang in there and keep trying. I've only just started really trying almost a week ago after signing up back in June. The site was soo confusing to me at first. But only a week into it of really trying I am at almost $20 I think. I'm taking advantage of everything I've learned and know how to use and still learning more.
Using to earn paypal gift cards to put towards my credit cards and pay down debt... Super easy, sometimes a little slow going
Easy to build discount at your rythme!
All the biggest stores are associated, you will find your happiness.
I love being a member of Swagbucks. I am having fun the whole time I am using it. I earning gift cards because it's easy to use.
They are the best survey site, I haven't had any problems I've made few dollars it great, theirs always someway too get your points you need and theirs something new everyday
Swagbucks sucks, I keep getting locked out of my account. Supposedly, I am doing something to violate their terms, even though I have read the terms and am not. My guess is that it is from "speeding through surveys ". Which means that I don't take forever thinking about each answer. I have not had one survey get done in less time than the estimate given before starting. Getting very tired of the customer service that won't tell me why this is happening. Seems like I am permanently deactivated now, so just making the rounds online leaving poor reviews. The worst part is, I spent at least 20 hours accumulating 1500 SB that they stole from me the last time I got locked out for good. Don't be deceived, everyone has a good experience at the start, which is where all the good reviews come from. They know how to artificially keep the rating high.
The apps and the website are laid out well and not complicated. I really like the SB Live trivia games. The hosts are hilarious and they do a great job.
I am a regular user of swagbucks, and I am enjoying earning through swagbucks.com. Thank you Swagbucks team.
If you are looking to get rich, this is not the site for you. If you want to have fun watching clips, playing games, shopping, and learning about interesting items, Swagbucks is your answer. Some people have stated that Swagbucks is not like it used to be or it takes too much time to earn points. What I have to say to that is, you are getting items or gift cards to do things that you would do anyway (shopping, watching TV, playing games, surfing the web, and reading). This means one gets rewarded to do things that one would be doing for free... and it is fun to do tasks on Swagbucks. If one likes completing surveys, one can do that too and earn points. Even if you don't qualify for a survey, you still get a point. Swagbucks is not a source of income, it is a source of fun, kind of like a hobby that gives rewards. There are so many things to do on Swagbucks and if one does not like an activity, there are many other activities that one can do. I like the trivia game, shopping, watching clips, and searching the web. I have earned thousands of points which I have used to play the sweepstakes, purchase gift cards, and order items from the swag store. I would recommend Swagbucks to a friend.
It's enjoyable easy way to earn extra money and learn a lot about new products. I also like that my child has been able to participate on the surveys. I also like that the surveys are always different
It's a good way to earn a little extra but almost all of the surveys I didn't qualify for. Just takes awhile to earn points to cash out.
I love being a member of Swagbucks. It is fun to use and I like earning gift cards. It is easy to earn points and there are lots of gift cards to get for free.
I've made 11 dollars in one month. That is the fastest I've ever earned money online. There are numerous ways to get SBs. Watching videos, making online searches, and even answering server questions (if you don't qualify for the survey, you still get one or two SBs). I love this app and plan on using this for a long, long time.
I cashed out $25 October 10 with Paypal, then another $25 on October 24. This is the 1st time I cashed out twice in a month. I'm on my way to my next goal. It is fun & very easy to answer questions truthfully and get paid while doing it. ***I have read some bad reviews on Swagbucks, I was one of them! But now I understand 'how to' redeem my points. It did take me months & months to learn how. Please keep at it, & good luck!
I love Swagbucks! I was a little apprehensive at first from some of the reviews, but I decided to give it a chance and I am glad I did.
Don't use these apps very often, but on a whim signed up for swaybacks. Just earned $15 and it was so easy to redeem.
Swagbucks allows me to get gift cards for just talking surveys and discovering new products. All other sites that I have previously tried did not pay out like they said they would
Overall, the Swagbucks is a decent service. Some good things, some not so good. I've never been able to have much success on the surveys to earn swag. Just waste hours being told "not this time but here are 2 Swagbucks anyway" and the videos are mind numbing. Somehow my account has been flagged so I'm unable to use the NCrave option. I've earned most of my Swagbucks from purchases and that has worked fine. The gift card redemption was very easy and quick to process.
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
