I feel like when I first began using this app it was better than now. Swagbucks are real work to earn unless you're spending money. For many people this is fine, great even but for me and many that I know, we just don't have the time or energy to put in.so it winds up being a decent app to be used only a couple times a week

Most survey redemption processes take too long to get payouts. With other survey companies, I have had to initiate multiple communications to request status and payout is always slow. Not with Swagbucks. They are great at verifying and paying you in a reasonable period of time.

Swagbucks is a great way to earn gift cards and cash through PayPal. I also love there different promotional offers. The one downside is there are a lot of technical issues. But, they have always been wonderful about fixing any issues.

Really great
July 15, 2020

Overall this app is very helpful and you really didn't have to wait that long to redeem your codes. It said up to ten Business days and I got it in one. I don't always qualify for every survey but there's new ones constantly coming in. I've already redeemed five dollars and I've had the app for two days. I have over 600 points saved up right now and I'm working towards a 25 dollar gift card. If you have some time on your hands take advantage and earn some points. Before you know it you have some extra cash to spend. I would love it if I could earn even faster but really not too many complaints!

Overall, I like visiting Swagbucks as it rewards me for various activities. However, the website has some glitch on weekends which makes it a little user unfriendly retrieving info from the menu bar. Furthermore, SBs rewarded seem less for all the time and effort put in to complete the activities.

Nice selection of surveys to participate in but it's annoying you do get DQ'd more times than not. There are many offers you can select, ranging from using real money to buy magazine subscriptions and every money you earn turns into swag bucks, to playing online games. Been using Swag Bucks for over 10 years and it hasn't failed me yet.

Love It
August 13, 2020

Probably one of the best online surveys that you can do. Was a little skeptical at first but it has turned out to be a nice way to earn a little extra cash and or gift cards. Still learning as I go, but so far so good. Have had very few problems with it.

This is a decent way to get some extra cash, but sometimes it gets absurdly difficult to find any surveys to which you qualify. Actually, it would be more accurate to say most surveys are a legit scam. You end up wasting 30 minutes on a survey that actually turned out to be a "pre-survey" that asked for all of your consumer information, such as recent purchases, travel plans, subscriptions you may have, then give time-consuming insight for every single thing, then surprise! You are "disqualified" and you get 1 penny.

I've been a member of Swagbucks for just over a year now. Though I have made some money through the cash-back features from shopping, most of the earnings have come from survey's, video's, and others. It's a great place to earn some extra cash, while also enjoying the company of an amazing Facebook group/community. I've earned just under $800 in my short time of being a member. The longest I have ever waited for my payout is two days. I've only ever cashed out using the PAYPAL option, but I'm sure they are just as quick for giftcards. This is why Swagbucks is (and continues) to be my favorite place to earn money. Nowadays, members are even earning with the Swagbucks trivia app (I've yet to try!).

I've been going Swagbucks for several months. I usually do something at least once a day. I just wish the pay off was better. It takes a long time to build up to any reward worthwhile. Over half the surveys don't work and kick you out after you've already spent time starting them. That needs to be addressed. I prefer a couple other sites, but SB is still better than nothing and something to do to kill some time and get some gift cards.

Easy money
November 24, 2019

It is an easy way to make some extra money, I do wish I qualified for more surveys though. The Amazon gift cards are redeemed and linked through my account so they go through in a day or two, which is really convenient for an avid Amazon shopper like me.

I used to use swagbucks much more often but it takes so long to actually earn a decent amount of points for rewards that I've found a different site to do the same thing. If any answers you provide don't match up perfectly to how you previously answered you'll get a warning if not locked out of your account. Things change, answers change and its kind of ridiculous. There is a lot of room for improvement. I would use more if it felt like my time was paying off.

I've been using Swagbucks for years. It's a nice way to spend some downtime and earn points in exchange for gift cards. I've never had a problem with receiving rewards after cashing out, but you do need patience if you want to cash a large amount. Taking your time and setting goals for yourself will make a huge difference, and us well worth it.

Patience is the key
August 25, 2018

It is a good site for earning extra money. Sometimes it involves real patience though! Sometimes surveys are the best and other times I will complete them but no credit. Not entirely Swagbucks fault though.

Without spending money on the site, its very difficult to earn money. There are ways to break even in your money and cash back programs but going strictly through advertisers wont get you good payout.

I recently joined Swagbucks, yes it does pay, you do receive gift cards, however you will also receive lots, and lots of calls from Fake IRS, satellite sales, ect. They sell your contact information. Beware...

SWAGBUCKS RIP OFF
May 25, 2018

Just took another SWAGBUCKS surveys did not pay after completion. Spent 20 minutes rating wines for Sonoma and they summarily dismissed me at the end. This is not the only time that this has happened. The company's customer service sucks! Also, they change the verification process on a whim, making it impossible to get your gift card. They scam a lot--definitely wasting a lot of time on this Rip-off site!

Great website!
April 3, 2018

I was turned onto Swagbucks years ago when I had nothing to do at work and didn't want to sit around doing nothing. It's a great way to make "extra money," if you will, at the comfort of your own desk or home. I've made quite a bit of money through the website, which I have redeemed for amazing gift cards that I've put to good use!

Easy money
September 22, 2019

I love most everything about this app. I wish the gift cards were instant and the surveys paid more. Besides that I'm really happy with everything else. Enjoy making side money for my houseplant addiction.

Awesome!
May 12, 2018

Great website to earn points towards purchases & gift cards. It's really like free money! If you order online a lot, like myself, you're making money off of purchases that you would be making anyway. When I'm bored, I hop on & do some surveys or watch some videos. Your points add up quickly! I just purchased an airline ticket with my Swagbucks to visit my family! If you're looking for an income though, Swagbucks is not the way to go.
