No complaints! There have been changes over the years, but nothing that hasn't been an improvement in usability and rewards. Lots of fun activities, too, that help you build up your daily, weekly, and monthly swagbucks total.

To hard to. Obtain points: survey only wast your time: after you spend half an hour on what says is a 10 minute survey, you end up not qualifying- And wasted your time. Then when it comes time to watch video's you click the activity, and it'll come back an say no longer available. Yes I put up with all this BS. But would never recommend to a friend- use to be somewhat reasonable to play. But over the past couple of years has really gone down hill.

They will find an excuse to close your account if you make a lot of dollars in gift cards even if you are playing totally by their rules. My brother had several hundred dollars worth in shop and earn credits and they didn't pay him and then when he complained about it they shut his account. The put on this " "We are liberal green diverse socially concerned company who loves the president and any one who doesn't is evil" face but like many companies I have found like this have ZERO ethics. If you use this site don't try to hard and don't make waves when they screw you.

I really enjoy swagbucks, it pays on a lot more fair pay scale or points system than any other site I have found. Earning restaurant gift cards is the only way I can afford to eat out with the family as we are paycheck to paycheck most weeks.

Worth the effort!
November 4, 2018

Swagbucks is a legit site! I've been a member for years now. Easy tasks earn rewards that pretty much equal free money. Instead of surfing aimlessly around the net reading hollywood gossip or looking at yet another cat meme try swagbucks and earn yourself some loot for free!

I've been a Swagbucks member for over 5 years. I make around $30 per month. It does take time every day, so if you only have an hour or so per day, it will take much more time to make money on it. Most veterans know that not all special offers pay, so you need to take screenshots of your completion or thank you pages and submit them to support for payout. Most surveys do pay, but sometimes you'll get timed out because they can reach max response at any time during the survey. To sum it up, no, it is not a scam, it just takes dedication.

I've got Swag...
November 16, 2020

I am completely in love with Swagbucks. I'm on here everyday trying to get buck and exchange them for gift cards and things like that. Swagbucks has a lot of gift card options. You won't be disappointed.

Best rewards service!
March 22, 2021

I've been using swagbucks for two years now and it's one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. I only spend up to 3 hours on it every day and I get rewards at least 2 times a month. It is awesome

I signed up because they had 2 offers I wanted to try and everything was great for about 3 months but now I've had a few offers not work and the customer service is just a robot that says the same response and apologizes. I realize if it doesn't track it's hard to deal with, but it's your site swagbucks, not mine.

Hope this review helps and have a great day for anyone reading this! Not worth getting worked up over this website! We did our part in reviewing and from what it looks like thousands of people see these reviews!

I was elated when I first started. But after a week, the same problems are occurring that occur with other survey sites... no credit given after survey complete... unreasonable time involved in getting disqualified. In the last 2 days, I have failed to receive over 100 SB for surveys that showed being completed on their last page. I will stay a while longer since they are still the best site I've tried. As for filing a complaint about surveys with them, it's almost impossible due to the way they have it set up. Good site if you stay patient.

Swagbucks is the best!
December 14, 2018

It has seriously helped save a lot of money in so many ways. Having trouble getting by? Make some Swagbucks turn them in for a walmart gift card and go spend them on diapers or whatever else you may need. Heck maybe you just want a beer, That's covered with it too.

It works, that's all i have to say. I am going to be honest, some reviews are bad and too let everyone know, no i am not sponsored or getting payed from this review. 100% Honest Review. I hope i can re-edit this later just in case if i run into issues with getting my rewards after the first two cards since apparently that is when people start not getting support. We'll see by next month.

Love Seagbucks!
September 1, 2017

Swagbucks is the best earning app I've ever used! There are so many things to do to earn include, watch videos, answer polls and surveys, play games, internet searching, shopping, and many other activities. I've already earned $46 in gift cards since I started my account, and more SB on the way!

Fun
September 13, 2017

It lets your voice be heard also you get wonderful gifts for it. The staff seems friendly and they are always going out of there way. Doing events that help you earn SB. I think there a very good company. They also just gave some people 17,000 dollars so I already thought they were really great.

So far this site has been okay. I apparently joined on a weekend when there was an 'upgrade' done and there seems to be a good many things that have bugs and don't work or don't credit when you complete them. Will be hanging around a bit to see if these get fixed and the appropriate crediting improves. Until then, giving it an average # of stars.

Just signed up this week. They had a couple offers for subscription services that I had been wanting to try out anyway. It helps motivate me when I get back more in SwagBucks than I spend in dollars, making the services better than free (at least for the 1st month). The only downside is redeeming SwagBucks for gift cards or paypal does take a few days. And, remembering to cancel the services if I no longer want to continue.

I did take away one star, just for the surveys. The surveys are very deceptive, in the fact they collect your info, then multiple questions into the survey, it decides your not a candidate. Absolute waste of time and frustrating.

I like Swagbucks because it is a legit page. You can earn SB easily, but sometimes it's kind of difficult to reach your goal of the day. I live that when I redeem the gift cards they come very quick. I would request more variety of stores and if course Disney GC.

Pretty much everything they offer is straight forward and you will actually get rewarded for it. I spent less than $10 on things I regularly purchase, did a few surveys and played some games to earn my visa gift card. Oh and it took me about a week to have more than 1000($10) in swagbucks so I'd recommend it to anyone looking to make a tiny bit of money in their free time.

Swagbuck Rewards
February 3, 2021

Great, easy payouts, quick, it is very easy to manipulate the reward system by sending random screenshots into support, most time they just approve em, if you look in screenshots shows random picture found on google used to complete offers with rewards up to 6k points easily getting you 60 dollars. You can thank me later.
