The Best!
July 11, 2018

I just recently came back to the "get paid to" world, after being away from it for many years. A lot has changed! Discovering Swagbucks has been amazing! Although there are a few little spots that definitely need some spit and polish, this gem still shines far brighter than the others I have tried. Loving it!

Time
April 19, 2018

Took to long to get 10 dollars. Im always getting kicked out of surveys one day i went through 35 surveys in an hour. You do the survey for maybe 5 min then its says its filled up. Whats that? Stay away.

I love Swagbucks
March 15, 2018

The free gift cards really comes in handy when shopping, saving money is my thing. Every chance I get I take surveys, watch videos and compete in Swag IQ. There are many other ways to earn Swagbucks as well.

It's not complicated using, but it takes a long time to accumulated points for rewards. Content is hardly interesting and should maybe pay for watching Hollywood movies or live TV instead of the videos shown on the website.

It can be slow going with the surveys but small amounts add up. If you say your search engine to swagbucks on both your computer and smartphone each search gives you a chance at earning money. I feel in charge of my finances again!

I love swagbucks. Originally saw it on a morning show about saving money. Signed up which was easy and put a bookmark to the stores I usually order from Amazon, Walmart, Ebay. Would clk on those links before doing my purchases. Started accumulating points as well as using the search on swagbucks. Soon a few times a year would purchase gift cards with my accumulated points. It's not millions BUT in this economy every little bit helps and it takes no time from the task at hand. Try it especially if you are a coupon user or a thrifty person! The image shows proof of using it just this year, Last week checked on something I thought should have been rewarded. Immediately with the proof I provided I was awarded 300+ points. That was the 1st time checking on a reward once again very satisfied with SWAGBUCKS. (Oh yeah I rarely write reviews!)

Amazing!
December 28, 2017

I am on the internet and online shopping many times a day, this website makes doing what I do normally PAY me! You're not going to be rich or anything, but can easily reward yourself with mini gifts throughout the year.

I started on swagbucks around Christmas and have already redeemed 23$ in amazon gift cards and waiting for 3 more right now. Its fairly easy compared to other sites with offers and surveys. Love it so far.

Fun
June 15, 2018

Fun, Multitasking form of earning gift cards. Keeps reward opportunities coming longer than most similar sites. Though it would be nice to have "same day" or "next day" Rewards for loyal users. Would spend much more time on Swagbucks if they did.

This is a better gift card earning website than others that I have tried. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks and I already have $25 with not a ton of effort. The surveys are disappointing, because they don't always work or award correctly. However there are other no cost ways to earn money. Overall I like Swagbucks and will continue to use.

I've been using Swagbucks now for several years and have made several thousands of dollars! It's a great way to earn extra cash while trying out new products or games, giving your opinion, and much more! Definitely the best rewards site out there!

I've been so frustrated, especially with the surveys, that I've given up and only do the daily poll and some company clicks. Nothing is more frustrating to go through all the questions on the survey and then be told they have enough of my profile, or I'm not eligible, etc. Watching videos also takes more time than they are worth. I think Swagbucks is a good concept but something went wrong.

There are lots of surveys available... but many kick you out after sometime just a few questions but often after spending 5 or more mins. Which gets frustrating. But the rewards were real, I redeemed and used my target gift card.

Swagbucks did get me $65 US dollars in Amazon gift cards. But it took me a little under 13 hours of survey time to get it. That's $5 an hour folks. I enjoy surveys, I enjoyed the rewards for my opinion. Just dont assume you can make any good money off this company. They are in it for their own profit, just like any other business and are not looking out for your interests.

Bad customer service
August 19, 2017

I've used Swagbucks occasionally for over two months. I had no trouble getting my first two Amazon gift cards. When I had enough points for another they would not send me a pin. There seems to be no customer service at all. Other people have had this problem too I have seen on review sites. It looks like I can still donate my Swagbucks to charity which I will. And then I'm done with them. If you decide to use this site I highly suggest that you cash out each time you earn at the lowest level so that they can't shut your account without you doing tons of low paid work and then not getting paid. The surveys don't pay even close to minimum wage and getting pennies for watching videos is a joke. I'm not sure the videos would even break even with the cost of powering your computer.

Hi Diane, did you reach out to our Compliance team for help with the Pin verification. If so, please send us a message with your Ticket ID and we will pass it along to them for follow-up. As a reminder, our Customer Service and Compliance teams are two separate departments. Customer Service does not handle verification issues. Compliance tickets do have a 10 business day turnaround time. We do apologize for the confusion!

Several attempts to sign up, then the stupid program does not let me log in. When I try to get another password app indicates it sends me a reset code but never works. KARMA is working for me not letting me access a useless application that just steals your time. Find other options. This garbage sucks

Great app!
July 18, 2017

Great app to pass time and make money. 100% legit, many gift cards & rewards to choose from. Earn swagbucks from doing normal every day things like searching or shopping, or show initiative and do some surveys. I have made over $450 using swagbucks in the past few years. Definitely worth it.

This business is good for us the customers. I have earned a lot of gift cards through this website. Sometimes you do need to purchase or download something, but the purchase price is much less than the gift card offered. There are many other options in which you can get points such as survey, watch advertisements, even buying stuffs online.

I read a lot of complaints about Swagbucks on social media, and I guess there are frustrating things like if you don't get your points. But I haven't had trouble, except for having to update my Flash settings to watch videos. There are so many ways to earn gift cards which have helped me to buy some extras. I shop through Swagbucks, watch videos and use all the apps I can. I have earned SBs through dining at SB Local places, playing games, and taking surveys. When I got serious about it, I earned an average of $100 every 2-3 months. It may not seem like much, but if you're a home, or disabled, or a senior on limited income, this could be useful to you.

Great site for making a few extra bucks. It definetley gets frustrating at times when it keeps disqualifying me from surveys, and I wish there were more higher paying ones I could do, but overall pretty happy with it.
