Pretty good experience. Easy way to earn some money on the side for those little things in life. Only problem I've seriously entered so far is this offer for an Android app called World War Rising which promised the equivalent of 20 dollars (2000 SB). Despite waiting for over a month, I've yet to receive a proper response. Still waiting.
I've been with Swagbucks for 4 months so far. They do pay among the quickest and are legitimate. There's some bumps that can be fixed though.
I haven't watched much videos now, since it takes more focused time & requires more 1-on-1 interaction in order to earn sb per 6 videos.
The downloadable games offer far less sb now, so I haven't downloaded anymore in about a month so far.
The iq game requires the new minimum 17 sb to rejoin the game, rejoins used to start at 12 sb :( .
I still do the surveys, search, swag iq, etc. which is pretty cool. You just can't make any mistakes on anything while using this & must be perfection. Or you may get suspended.
I found the site less than a week ago, and I've already earned $40 in gift cards! I've done the surveys with promises of payouts before, and they never did. Swagbucks actually keeps their promise. It has helped me with Christmas a lot, especially since my husband lost his job.
Not only do I earn points for taking surveys but also when I buy stuff via Swagbucks' site. Often wonder, though, if the time spent especially on surveys taken without being rewarded is worth it. Will give it a couple to three more months and then decide whether or not to stay with it. I must say that most surveys are quite informative.
Swagbucks is fun and easy. There are so many different ways to earn Swagbucks. They can be redeemed for PayPal cash or gift cards. There are more gift card options than I've seen on any site so far. Customer service is kinda frustrating if you have an issue. The receipt scan system could use some fine tuning. But other than that, highly recommend. It's also one of the few sites that gives credit if you spend time doing a survey but are kicked off for not fitting into the categories they're looking for. (Most, not all, do. You can see which don't pay and not do them if you choose.) I use about 5 of these types of apps and it's one of my 2 favorites.
I thought all paid surveys were a gimmick until I heard about Swagbucks. I have been doing this for about a month now and have already earned over $150.00! You can redeem your points for gift cards, either virtual or physical, from so many different vendors that you'd usually shop from. They also work sort of like Ebates in that they offer cash back at multiple popular stores online and in-store!
I feel like other sites slow down your options and make it harder for you to cash out. I've cashed out with Swagbucks three times already, making approximately $55. The surveys keep coming and I never feel like they're trying to prevent me from getting more money. Plus the gift cards can be on sale which is really nice.
Swagbucks pays out quickly and offers a lot of surveys every day. Points add up quickly, as opposed to some other sites that take forever to cash in. I use it regularly and have already received several Amazon gift cards.
The surveys have grown in years past. I hope that the point value continues to stay where they are, or possibly increase by 5,10, or 20 points for each one.
However, I was hoping to see a few more gift card options and an easier way to reach customer support. Other similar online survey sites have a much easier method to report errors or when credit is given, but somehow technical problems do not take you back to the landing page. The Discover page definitely needs some easier tasks, because some people cannot pay for experiences that they are not interested in taking part.
Outside of that, Swagbucks has plenty of things to do and is a great site. I would definitely recommend it.
I don't spend a lot of time on Swagbucks, but the points do add up, and every so often I'm able to get an Amazon gift card. It's a good way to support my reading addiction! I just take an occasional poll, watch some videos, and clip coupons for products I would normally buy anyway.
I was able to get almost all my Christmas shopping done with the money I earned through Swagbucks! It's an easy way of making money on your free time, but not a reliable source for income if that's what you're looking for. Still, there's a ton of ways you could make money either by completing surveys or linking it to qualified online purchases for rebates.
This is not something to replace your day job, but it's great if you want to earn a little extra pocket money while stuck in a waiting room or on your lunch break. This is especially good if you are a stay-at-home parent, are currently between jobs (or have a new job lined up but haven't started there yet), and/or have some sort of health issue(s) that keeps you at home part or all of the time. I made $60 in about one month, and I just cashed out $50 of it directly into my PayPal account. It took less than 5 minutes to request the payout two days ago, and the payment has already cleared on my end. I can't give it 5 stars, because there are technical difficulties with some surveys, and sometimes the video player has issues, but I've had a good experience with it overall.
Great way to make a few extra bucks doing what you already do. Excellent customer service except for my last message to them, usually they are right on it, but this one has been weeks waiting for a response.
Swag-bucks has been a fun and interesting way to help me save up for gift cards, I personally use PayPal then I send the money to my bank so I can pay bills, Granted it may not be much but every little bit helps. There are so many thing that you can experience on there site from watching videos to shopping and answering surveys to earn points and get what gift card or pay pal you desire. They are 100% legit. So if you have a few moments out of your day its well worth it.
The only thing I would like is to either make the PayPal an instant transfer, or be able to transfer directly to my linked cards/accounts.
And maybe not hold Swagbucks rewards for 40+++ days after certain tasks?
Even without those details being addressed, it's a fantastic app, as long as you are using it for extra cash-not an income!
There is definitely a time investment of doing surveys, etc. if you want to accrue points faster for giftcards, etc. However, the slower point gain process by just online searching and shopping through SwagBucks is still worth it for me,
Liked being able to get a virtual master card with my money. The app doesn't work very well. But I've found some really cool deals through discover. And watched some good tips and tutorials in the movies.
It would be nice to make more swagbucks per surveys and videos though.
I generally like swagbucks but I have a few issues to address. I've basically given up trying to shop on Amazon through swagbucks because my orders never save and I end up having to write to them to get any points added, it's a big inconvenience. Also, often the surveys are a chore to do because 80% of them kick me off. Often, I'll spend half an hr getting kicked off of surveys and then may find one that gives me a small amount of cents, its hardly worth doing. I've made it to 25$ several times but have had to put myself through samurai like dedication to do it. On other apps like quick thoughts I can easily makes $1 per survey and not get declined nearly as much. So swagbucks is ok but definitely could be better.
Free gift cards by doing nothing extra, just searching! You of course could spend more time doing other activities to earn more, but even if you google once or twice a week, the swag bucks can still add up!
This is a wonderful way to spend spare time creatively making a little cash. Love this. There are so many ways to earn from games to shopping, searching, signing up for deals giving my opinions on surveys. I feel like I'm helping the products of our future and getting paid for it.
