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 have been swag buck user for years now love the rewards I used to do it more but now it is harder than it used to be to earn points I use it more now for getting extra swagbucks when I buy things online
I have been using SwagBucks for years and have redeemed several gift cards. There are lots of ways to earn swagbucks. It's fun.
It's the best opinion/survey website I have found yet, and I've tried a LOT.
There is a great variety of tasks, so that it does not become monotonous to earn. I also feel the surveys are much more pre-screened leading to much less "kick-outs" than other websites of it's nature.
I enjoy earning points, but surveys here frustrate me to no end. Especially when the qualifying questions are the same as the survey questions and you get 7/8 of the survey complete and it says you don't qualify.
Also, More of what is available on desktop sites should be available on mobile sites.
Swagbucks is legit-- the surveys are fun and easy, and I earned enough points to redeem for a $25 gift card. I chose Land's End because my child's school uniform is through LE, and I ordered a new shirt for him and still had a little left over. So awesome, and I'm now on my way to my second gift card this month! If you shop online, you can rack up even more points without doing anything extra.
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!).
Easy way to earn money doing various tasks, some of which you might have already planned on doing, such as through shopping.
I have done a number of surveys on Swagbucks and I have earned enough to help me get a new tablet. Problem is people expect to get a Gift Card with every single survey, but, surveys do not work that way. The company behind the surveys are usually looking for a specific type of person as well as a certain Demographic and if you do not meet their criteria well, then you are not a match. That is not Swagbucks fault.
Great site for making extra free money when im on my computer i just leave videos on mute playing in the background when im playing games or doing work or other things on my computer and make 25usd a mouth so i make 300usd a year but if i do other things like some surveys and offers and get bonus points i can make upto $2500usd a year
The best way to make money on Swagbucks is to buy the stuff you'd buy anyway through their site. You can buy stuff, get cash back and your items will be waiting for you at the store.
The drawback to the site is spending time filling out surveys only to find that you don't qualify.
I like the daily question on Swagbucks, it's a lot of fun.
I have had swagbucks for awhile and never tried using it, until 7/22 a week later i had mad enough for a 25$ Walmart gift card! I have not used a credit card or any money to earn that either! Can't get enough of it!
I like redeeming my swagbucks for gift cards. I use them to help cover grocery expenses, give a treat to my daughter and help cover miscellaneous gifts.
I started using this on a regular basis and was earning quite well for awhile. It was hard to cash out with my rewards because high numbers were needed. I now see that I can redeem with lower numbers and will start it up again.
I have been using Swagbucks for awhile now and I enjoy the activities. I especially like the discount and prizes you can earn.
I love my SwagBucks, I just wish I had more time to dedicate to it! I have redeemed thousand of points for my gift cards which have in turn helped me pay my bills and to get great products that I know I would not get otherwise! Thx4AllThatUDo4Us!
I have been able to use the swag button daily and already recieving gift cards. I get points for things I was already doing and videos I was already watching anyway.
I redeem my swagbucks for Amazon gift cards that I use to buy books and an occasional Christmas present
Awesome way to earn extra money but SB don't always credit which is a bummer. I wish more surveys were available and I feel videos should be worth more
I am retired, this gives me something to do, and i can earn gift card, thats great.! Some of the reviews are very interesting and get you thinking.
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
