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 so much. I run it on my phone when I am working. I play on the computer when I am at home.
It saves money around Christmas and other holidays, builds up over time and can even get you a good vacation if your patient and work for it. Sucks the surveys are gone can get a couple every now and again, and you can only redeem 2 gift cards a day so if you have multiple places you want cards for you have to wait even longer.
It has become progressively more difficult to get surveys, which used to be my main source for Swagbucks as I have found most other methods fruitless. In my first six months on Swagbucks I cashed out about $500.00 from mostly surveys, which was awesome. The following 12 months I cashed out $100.00, again mostly surveys. At the beginning I qualified for 60-75% of surveys I attempted then it dropped to 10-25% and I got tired of trying.
Easy and fun way to earn! Excellent way to earn gift cards for normal activites. Makes earning part of daily experience as well as has fun activities to earn
Swagbucks is a great way to earn paypal rewards or visa virtual credit card. It's slow, but always moves along. Swagbucks is a lifesaver.
I was very excited about getting started with Swagbucks particularly looking forward to doing surveys. I love the system of reviews and people having the advantage of other people's experiences before purchasing products. And I also love the idea of helping product makers/suppliers know more what their consumers are thinking. UNFORTUNATELY, taking surveys for SB seemed to hold very little value. It seemed more about digging into personal business for something beyond marketing products. Never once did I find a survey that gave me the satisfaction that I would be helping companies and/or consumers. Instead, I'd spend a LOT of time being DISQUALIFIED from 90% of every survey I attempted. It was especially annoying providing a great deal of answers only to be disqualified ten minutes later. Something's just so wrong about that. It just seemed insane wasting so much time. Then when I did manage to complete a survey, I'd wonder how it was all that useful for the market. And finally when the one was digging into my political positions only to disqualify me, I felt I best stay away from these surveys altogether.
As for watching videos - half the time it was glitchy and I'd watch nearly an hour of videos only to not get the SB. So that was out.
HOWEVER, the four stars is because I get SB for my purchases. We happen to frequent several of SB's affiliates so it's nice to get a $25 gift card every so often for purchases I would have gotten anyway. THAT part of SB is SUPER cool.
I am absolutely thrilled with Swagbucks.com! It's a wonderful site, and collecting and redeeming "Swagbucks" for searching the internet, the Daily Poll, games etc really makes my day!
Theres always ways to earn points whenever you want 24/7! Love this Site & use it Everyday! Thanks Swagbucks!
I love it and it is pretty easy to get gift cards! I love that there are many surveys to complete. One thing I would love is that they would include Etsy gift cards!
I use swagbucks everyday and I've earned $50 in gift cards for the last two months. It's a bit time consuming, but it's also free, easy money.
I just ordered two gift cards with my points and it very easy to use and I got them very quickly! Very easy to get points and redeem them!
It is real it works already got gift cards easy to use simple to do saying money is great and all the biggest ways you can earn is good to
I am trying to fund a Disney trip as little out of pocket as possible. I'm a bit addicted to Swagbucks, but it is already paying off majorly.
Swagbucks has allowed me to experience new design options for our home. It also rewards you for searching and learning about new entertainment options or vacations. Great search engine and rewards for being a part of Swagbucks!
Got to appreciate something that gives you free money I'm trying to save up to get a laptop from Amazon
I like using SB but lately its been hard to find points. The video section hasnt been working lately which provides a big part of my points and Sometimes the links for surveys quit on me right in the middle ( not that you dont qualify the page will just exit itself) otherwise Im happy but it took a long time to save up enough for a 15 dollar gift card
I really enjoy Swagbucks. It is always fun entertaining. Something new everyday comes up. It is always a competition in our house to see who come out with the most Swagbucks everyday.
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
