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.

I'm a big fan of swagbucks. I've been using it for probably a year and have made about $160, without doing a lot of surveys. Most of that was within the past few months, as i started using it more regularly, and putting an extra 10 bucks in my paypal every week is worth it to me. They've even introduced me to a couple things i use on the regular now, like lola!

They are wonderful and you actually can make some cash. I have used many different sites and wasted hours making nothing. The surveys actually make some cash. Im not saying its $50 but a buck or 2. Much better then the penny on other sites. Also with shopping ive made quite a bit. Always look for specials. On redeeming gift cards. I had an issue with redeeming a giftcard and they fixed it in less than 24 hours. Great Customer Service. My only issue is connecting to Paypal. Cant link it to my account for some reason. But if that is my only issue then thats a win! I read on how to maximize my income on Pinterest and there awesome ways to make money on SB.

The only negative I have to say about it is that I do spend a lot of time answering questions and then not getting into a survey, so I don't earn anything for my time. It's frustrating. But, the rewards are great and points add up relatively quickly if you visit regularly. Even faster if you use the swag button as a browser add on, but it slows your computer down something wicked.

It works most the time
December 16, 2018

Some offers are scams and.don't pay but most sites are like that... I don't like how you can't get funds directed into your bank account like a few other sites and they don't. Pay instantly... I wait up to four days for my reward. Also the surveys always seem to screen me out after asking me so many questions it's like I have them all the info they wanted and I get none.of the promised incentives. However, one thing I do like about this site is the minimum pay out here is very low compared to. Most sites and there are more things to do. Then jus t surveys, keeps me more entertained

Reputable survey/ offer type website with unlimited opportunities and surveys always available. Cash out for visa gift cards or PayPal and many others. Complete offers and get rewarded big for items you might already buy. I always check swag-bucks first if I'm gonna buy online.

I like mainly the surveys. Sometimes I get a little frustrated at not qualifying but am glad that if I'M m patient I eventually qualify for a survey and earn Swagbucks that can be redeemed for great rewards. My favorite reward is Amazon gift cards.

I have used Swagbucks for several years and have redeemed over $1000 in gift cards in that time. Yes, surveys can take a lot of time and often don't credit due to any number of reasons (full, DQ, etc). But when they do credit, you can add up the SB quickly. Luckily, there are many other ways to earn, so you don't have to depend on the surveys. Like any of these reward programs, you earn more for shopping, so it is worth checking Swagbucks before shopping online to see what kind of deals are available. I earn most of my SBs by watching videos and doing the DailyBreak quizzes.

Incredible site
September 3, 2017

The wife started me using SB. She was getting quite a few Gift Cards so I thought I'd try it. It's easy to use, informational, interesting and pays you. I got a Home Depot gift card and the next day went out and bought some paint so i can finally get on with projects ive put off.

Ive been a Swagger for a long time now and I have to say, Ive always been paid every single time. No problems except with waiting on an offer to credit my account. Some offers take longer than others. The majority of them are instant!

Used To Be A Good Site
January 29, 2017

I've been a member of Swagbucks for almost 3 years now and they were very good at first, but every year they decline. If you send in too many screenshots for surveys that you have completed and not received credit for, then you are 'black-listed'. Most of their offers are junk now and not worth wasting your time on, as you don't receive any credit for them. I would not refer anyone to Swagbucks anymore. Stay away from this site.

Overall I like Swagbucks very much. It's easy to get started earning lots of SB. My only complaint is that the website and the separate apps are all a bit confusing and difficult to navigate as a first time user.

Love it
August 17, 2017

I love it. Though I hope swagbucks could do quick action regarding to my missing credits. I'm a new member here and I've been doing surveys for a week now, I always complete it but got disqualified in the end.

This is a great eat to earn a little extra cash. However, frequently the promotions do not work, and surveys kick you out after completing 95% of the survey... even after spending g 30 minutes answering questions.
It seems like those surveys get their info without rewarding the person taking it.
It's getting worse and worse. Its disappointing and I hope they fix it and other issues with Discover deals not awarding.

Free money
August 19, 2017

It's an easy way to earn free money on the side. It doesn't always work perfectly and sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get rewarded for a survey or discover... but can't really complain when it's helping with the groceries!

I've never used one of those "get paid for survey" things before because I always thought they were a scam but I tried Swagbucks on a whim. You get the real money with Swagbucks. I've bought so much from the gift cards I got through this site. It's amazing.

This site is great for helping earn a little extra to supplement income and help with getting things you need. There are plenty of ways to earn, even if you only have a little spare time on your hands. You can watch videos, do sign-ups, discount offers and my favorite (and most lucrative IMO) do surveys. I'd highly recommend checking it out, it's of no cost to you and only takes an email and some basic info to sign up.

A legit way to make money
December 19, 2019

I wish more people didn't look at me like I'm trying to recruit them for a scam. The same people that wonder how my fiance and I can afford so many diapers for our kids or how we can go on date nights. Swagbucks. Simply put I stay at home and mainly work while the kids are napping (2 hours or so) and I've made so much in that amount of time. Swagbucks is buying Christmas gifts this year too!

It used to be awesome and sub were rewarded fairly fast, now it seems like most things are pending for 10+ days. I've founded better apps that reward faster and redeeming the reward is almost instant... unlike swagbucks where it takes at least 48 hours to get my reward.
