Easy Money
March 14, 2020

Your not going to make a living on here lol. If you are looking for that you have to get a job. This website is legit! You do earn gift cards and cash easily. It adds up! $25 here, $50 there. It's free easy money. You can't go wrong. Just be truthful on the surveys or don't do them otherwise you will lose your chance at using the sight all together. I have cashed in almost $600 over a year and a half and I am a very casual user.

If you are persistent you can earn bucks for purchase discounts. I have even paid swagbucks on my cable bill! My only frustration is getting so far into a survey and being kicked out and receiving 1 point. I am older, single and retired which makes it harder to find surveys. It is still worthwhile.

Questionable
October 10, 2018

Difficulty in redeeming at times and getting to what want to do. Keep being told Gold Survey answers inconsistent so get locked out, as though every available for answer fits the question or I never make any changes or purchases for myself or others in my life that affect said answers.

When bored at work, on a long drive or just spacing out I'll log in, complete daily to do list and take surveys to earn points and redeem for real stuff. MasterCard, Visa, gift cards. I'm thinking of challenging myself and only making purchases for myself from what I earn here

Swagbucks is amazing
August 4, 2017

So far, i've redeemed $20 worth of gift cards this summer ($5 visa & $15 visa). The best part is that i use it about twice a week, which isn't even that much. I love swagbucks and it's definitely worth the time because you get extra cash for whatever you want!

So far, so good
September 22, 2019

I've only been a member for 3 weeks and have received a payout without issue. There are far too many surveys that when completed, you are advised you did not qualify and no points are rewarded, however, most of those can be avoided. If you have money to shop, they do offer some good deals.

I like using Swagbucks most for online shopping! Surveys can be frustrating sometimes, because you can go through one and spend a lot of time on it to only find out you dont qualify. And a lot of the other ways to get SB points dont always work (ones where they have free samples, input email and take fun survey, etc). But overall Ive made over $200 with Swagbucks so I definitely still use it and love it!

I recently found out about swagbucks after doing some online research and I have to say it's a pretty cool deal. Sometimes the surveys are hard to get into but once you start doing it awhile, you eventually find some good ones. There is also great deals on online shopping. You must read the fine prints and don't expect too much at first.

Extra cash
September 29, 2018

This is a good way to earn some extra cash but don't think it will replace a job. I do it occasionally and earn about $25 per month. Its like gas in my car for the week. However it can be frustrating when videos don't work, surveys you don't qualify etc. If something frustrates me, I move on. Customer service doesn't really help even though they appear they want to help. Microsoft Bing does a lot better job in this and that is hard to believe because Microsoft sucks.

Love my Swagbucks!
February 24, 2018

Swagbucks is for anyone who is looking to earn gift cards in a fun and exciting way. I always enjoy my time spent watching video's, filling out surveys checking out deals of the day and printing coupons. I have had no problems redeeming Swagbucks for rewards it's just all around awesome!

Time consuming.
October 18, 2017

Takes a great deal of time and focus for a small reward. Site is sometimes confusing; I find some directions difficult, leading to "surveys" without compensation. Using this has increased the amount of junk email, marketing phone calls and texts i receive.

I like swag bucks I just wish there was ways for me to earn more then what I do. I am telling my family and friends to come sign up as well. Some of the surveys are a little short handed with sb but I can understand some would abuse it.

Swagbucks is a lifesaver, or at least a mind saver for me. I recently had hip replacement and was driving myself crazy because all the usual computer games were tiresome. My son-in-law mentioned trying surveys and I have found a new hobby. I love that the subject matter changes frequently and so does the level of knowledge... keeps me on my toes! Thanks for helping a 70 year old Granny stay mentally alert and eager for the next survey! Patricia Baird

I wish they would stop taking sb away that i have earned. I sign up for stuff most of the time paying for things. I also shop through them. Ill get emails saying ur points are on the way and nothing. I went into my history today and it was cleared. Why is this happening?

Earning potential
July 19, 2018

When I first joined Swagbucks I didn't make much but I also didn't really try. As soon as I completed my first survey I was hooked. Boom-100 points, then another 10 for completing the daily goal, watch a few video lists, hit the second goal and... if you're earning 100-200/day that's an additional $30-60/month-use the giftcards and shop through them and you can earn more points). They often run challenges, give out codes for free points daily and last month I did so well I got nearly 600 SB monthly bonus. Going from not earning anything it means the world of difference for me. No, you won't get rich on the site but it's relatively easy money according to this disabled mom.

The main things I don't like about it is that the offers don't credit instantly, a few of them are scams (although, it's relatively easy to figure out which ones), and you have to wait 3-4 business days usually before your rewards credit to PayPal. Also, the surveys run out at times, and quite a few disqualifications. But you can still manage to get an extra bit of money with this site in not too long of a time frame. If you intend on using PayPal, however, it's a bit of a pain to verify your account linking a bank to it, if you haven't done so already. All in all, it's been helpful though for some extra necessary cash.

I was skeptical of Swagbucks at first, but after I realized how easy this was, and how it's a program that just runs in the background, racking up points... I was sold. I have been paid directly into my PayPal account in real, actual, cash. All for doing nothing more than I'd do anyways. Buy stuff online.

Thank you Swagbucks. You rock!

As said in the title, there's multiple ways of earning/redeeming. Every month you can redeem a $25 amazon gift card for 2200 sb (equivalent of $22). The surveys, in my experience, have had about a 50% chance of crediting. It usually disqualifies you quickly, so you don't waste too much time. If you get to the end of the survey and it disqualifies you, the support team will look into it and, in my experience, are fair and do credit you.

Compared to other rewards site, Swagbucks is not bad. The earning rate depends mostly on your survey luck, even though there are multiple ways to earn. Besides big offers (subscribe for a month here and earn a big reward), the other ways have been severely reduced over time I've noticed.

It also has one of the best referral systems I've seen. 300 bonus + 10 % of your referred person's earnings for life is VERY generous in my opinion. If you can take advantage of this referral system, you'll be able to earn a lot.

I only joined a couple months ago but so far, it seems to provide a reasonable gain for the time I've spent. Better, certainly, than some of the survey sites I've used. I've redeemed twice already for $25 gift cards and both times they were delivered within a few days, with no problems. I tried the search engine, but didn't like it since seems to give mostly shopping-related results and much of my internet searching is for informational rather than purchasing purposes. But even without using the search engine, I still earn Swagbucks at a decent rate.
