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 do like SWAGBUCKS, but there really needs to be more ways to earn SB's without spending all kinds of money. And what the Hell is up with the 30-day Holds, there seem to be a lot more of these Holds popping up everywhere. This will most definitely cause one to lose a ton of customers//consumers and I will be one of them... for another thing why the Hell does it take so damn long to redeem swagbucks, you take my money instantly, so we should get paid instantly, but instead it takes 5 days, that is exactly how long it took, the last time that I redeemed my swagbucks; THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
Don't try to say that it is the fastest that is possible, either; because I have other accounts like Beforthright and they PAY INSTANTLY, so I know that it can be done...
I do like Swagbucks, but you guys are driving it into a ditch... You all need to pull your HEADS out of your ASSES and get your $#*! together, before we get tired of it...
I am rather new to Swagbucks but I absolutely love it! I get on a few times a day! Its been great! I love to be able to get great deals, earn points for shopping, and earning a lil extra stuff for my family.
I'm a newbie here.
I made enough points to get a reward in less time to get a comparable award at other survey sites. It took a while to get the reward; a postcard mailed to me, then confirm, then wait a few more days to collect the reward.
I like Swagbucks but I am disappointed to be screened out of many surveys when I have five to ten minutes of my time already involved. Hopefully that will change.
I will continue to answer surveys.
Easy enough to earn fast gift cards and cash! Just recieved my first giftcard and im still BRAND NEW!
Ive been with swagbucks for 3 years and have made several hundred dollars per year, and I get to try tons of free stuff via offers and actually make money doing it! I love swagbucks!
Earned my 1st gift card in about a week. Not too bad! Surveys are hit and miss, but if you shop online you can get Swagbucks for doing what you already do.
Have participated with Swagbucks for several years, but it's now harder to earn points than it used to be. I still play, but not nearly as dedicated as before - takes too long to earn enough points for gift cards. Surveys are hard to qualify for - most of the time I'll spend 10-15 minutes attempting a survey, only to be disqualified. Very frustrating.
I am a daily user of Swagbucks and I love it. I just redeemed $25 in an eGift card from Walmart. It only took about 3 days for me to get it.
Most often I do at least one survey a day sometimes 2. It's very rare that I don't get to do a survey. Swagbucks is a good place if you want to earn extra money.
Swagbuck is an amazing app. Specially their team is so supportive. You can earn as much as you work hard on it. I love swagbuck
Surveys are fun and I love the rewards! Take advantage of shopping through Swagbucks to earn even faster on items you are already buying!
This is a great way to earn money, so easy and fun. They run it so professionally. No problems with the registering of my points and on time.
Good way to make a little money if youre bored and on your phone! This website has helped me earn over $50 in gift cards in just over 1 year.
I love the idea of getting points and earning rewards. Just don't have as much time to do surveys and a lot I don't qualify for.
Wish some of daily activities have more SB points! And wishing the apps that correspond with swagbucks would work!
I had to get on here to review because after reading some myself I was super sketchy to try it out. Yes if you rather sit and watch TV an totally vegg out and not care to get amazing deals and even at times get paid to shop then this isn't for you. But if you don't mind taking a little time an use your brain to think how to take these opportunities and use them for a huge advantage and get paid to shop and take surveys then this is one of the main tools to use. You have to use others as well like groupon, ebates, shop buddy, etc. and things just start to fall in place. Example, I spent $10 on buying a month subscription for razors and received 2000 sb and I also already made 500 from the daily tasks so right there is a $25 gift card for spending $10... ummmm HELLLOO! Yes the surveys are aggravating when you get disqualified but I only use them to complete my daily tasks mainly. Although I did realize the more you attempt to try them, later on your chances increase for them to send you surveys that fit you. I'm just saying people give it more of a chance then trying it for 10 mins then judging. Again yes you will have to make a purchess from time to time but for me its things I need to buy anyways and I get a way better deal here then walking into the store. Hope maybe this helps someone to see the opportunity that's available with simple clicks and a little bit of time to get used to system. Take care and good luck!
It's a bit time consuming, but I have already earned a Starbucks gift card. Worth checking out if you have some free time.
I like swagbucks a lot, but somethimes is very difficult be acepted in a survey, i be a member of swagbucks more time i like it
I am a new user but the experience has been wonderful. You do need some patience and it takes time to verify purchases.
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
