Swagbucks is a website where you can earn rewards by doing activities you normally do, such as shopping, searching the web, watching videos, playing games, printing coupons, and taking surveys.

Every time you complete one of these activities, you can earn points called SBs, which are redeemable for cash and gift cards.

Becoming a member of Swagbucks is very simple. Start by joining their website or downloading their mobile app (available on both Android and iOS). You can then collect points (known as SB's) by participating in a variety of different activates including taking surveys, shopping online, watching videos, and more. You can then exchange your SB's for gift cards or PayPal cash.

Joining is free (and new members even get the $5 joining bonus!), and is available to residents of the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, India, Australia, and Ireland.

After logging in to their website (or in the app), you will see links to Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Answer, Discover.

• Online Shopping

  Receive “cashback” for making purchases from major online stores through Swagbucks. These include Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and more. Simply log in to the Swagbucks shopping page and click on the online retailer you wish to make a purchase from. Swagbucks earns a commission from your purchases, but will return a portion of it back to you in the form of SBs which will be earned for every dollar spent.

• Searching

  Swagbucks has a search engine called 'Swagbucks Search'. You can use it just like a regular search engine to earn bucks. If you conduct a lot of internet searches in any given day, this can be a great way to easily earn SB's. You can install the Swagbucks browser extension for Chrome which can make it easier to get into the habit of using the Swagbucks Search over Google, Bing, etc.

• Watching Videos

  Using Swagbucks watch, you can watch videos about music, news, entertainment, pets, travel, and more, to earn credits to your account. The earning potential for this is on the low side, but it's still a method of collecting SBs if you're looking for some entertainment.

• Answering Surveys

  Access Swagbucks Answer to take surveys and earn points. Swagbucks lists a ton of different online surveys that can be answered for rewards. Each survey will list the estimated time it'll take to complete, the topic of the study, as well as the number of SBs you will earn. Product testing opportunities occasionally become available. Expect to earn approximately 40 - 200 SB points per survey (100 SB = $1), with earning potential up to $50 (5000 SB) for longer and hard to qualify for surveys.

• Discovering

  The Swagbucks 'Discover' section is one of the fastest ways of earning SB points. You can earn a significant number of points for signing up for product and service trials (things like TIDAL music streaming, audiobook trials, gambling website trials, etc.) or for opening new credit card accounts or bank accounts. If you're currently looking to switch credit cards, banks, or try a new financial product (such as a new type of investment account), log in to your Swagbucks account before signing up! You might be able to earn thousands of SBs just for clicking through to the service provider via your Swagbucks account.

• Printing Grocery Coupons

  Under the 'Shop' section of Swagbucks (depending on your country of residence), you can find printable coupons for things like cleaning products, diapers, toothpaste, candy, etc. Each time you print a coupon, you will earn 1 SB. It will take a few weeks after the redemption for the SB to show in your account, however without the added bonus of receiving SB points, the printable coupons offered on this part of the website are generally for products that you probably already purchase and from big brands such as Swiffer, Mr. Clean, Febreze, Pampers, Crest, Becel, etc.

• Referring Friends

  If you have friends who would be good candidates for Swagbucks, make sure you refer them so that you can earn 10% of what they earn (as they remain active). For instance, if your referral earns 5,000 SB ($50) in their first month, you will receive a $5 bonus (500 SB) credited to your account. Simply log in to your Swagbucks account to get your unique sign up link which you can then share with friends, extended family, on your blog, etc.

• Entering Swag Codes

  Swag Codes are promotional codes that can be entered into the Swagbucks website which give you free SBs (Swagbucks). Find out where to find swag codes that can help boost your earnings.

Millions in Rewards Awarded

You can redeem your SB's for two main reward options: cash, or e-gift cards. One SB is worth approximately 1 cent, so 2500 SBs = $25.00. To date, Swagbucks has awarded over 800 million dollars to their members!

PayPal Payments

If you're a fan of cold, hard cash, you can exchange your SBs for money by requesting a PayPal payment to your PayPal account. Payments take approximately 10-14 days to process and are issued in US dollars, regardless of where you live. If you are outside of the USA, PayPal can automatically convert these USD into your local currency, or you can keep a separate USD balance in your account if you wish. You can request a PayPal payment in the following denominations: $25, $50, $100, and $250.

Tons of e-Gift Card Options

If you choose to redeem your SBs for a gift card versus a PayPal payment, you'll find that you can receive it with a lower balance. Denominations for gift cards vary and depending on the retailer, but they can be as low as $1 and as high as $100. E-gift cards are issued within 10 days of request are available to a wide variety or retailers including Amazon, Home Depot, Starbucks, Facebook, iTunes, a huge variety of restaurants, hotels, and more. Denominations of as low as $1 - $100 are available.

You may also donate your SB's to charities such as Unicef, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, etc. Donation amounts start at only 5 SB’s ($0.05).

Bonuses

Swagbucks offers daily goal points where you can receive bonus SB's if you reach the daily goal by the end of the day. Simply log in to your account to see what that day's daily goal is. Receive another bonus when you reach the daily goal 7 days in a row. Bonuses are paid on or around the first day of the following month.

Now that Swagbucks has become so popular, they will cut corners and be as cheap as possible thinking that their “loyal” customers won’t leave them. I used to be a fan of their service, but now that they removed SwagIt, I have no intention of using Swagbucks anymore. SwagIt was what made Swagbucks stand out from its competitors. I read their blog saying they removed SwagIt to replace it with………basically nothing. They just wrote some b.s. excuse saying they apologize and there are evolving. This company is becoming a joke, and I’m leaving this service.

I joined Swagbucks about 4 months ago and have really enjoyed earning points by doing surveys and signing up to various offers. I’ve withdrawn more than £300 worth of vouchers in that time.
By far the best survey site around in my opinion.
I’ve had to contact Customer Service a few times for various reasons and they have excelled themselves with their timely and helpful responses.
They look after the customers that show them respect by providing genuine, thoughtful survey responses. Mess them about and they may not be so nice!
I’ve knocked off half a star because no-one is perfect, however, Swagbucks is closer to perfection than any other survey site I’ve used.
Keep it up, Swagbucks! :-)

It's a terrible thing when a company loses all sense of ethics and fairness and just decides to arbitrarily rip you off and not pay you what you've earned. Yet this is what Swagbucks has done to me (and I suspect many others).
I had been a member of Swagbucks since 2019 and have always been a good contributer. This past month though, I suddenly found one day while trying to log in that my account had been deactivated and I was unable to access the site. I contacted Swagbucks about this and after about a week they finally bothered to reply and basically just gave me a bit of vague garbage as an explanation for why I was without warning kicked off the site. I have tried to contact them numerous times since then and have been greeted either with silence or insulting and abusive communications from Swagbucks. Seriously I can't believe a purportedly professional company would behave in such an outrageous and sick manner. I had over $50 in earned points which I am now unable to cash out and Swagbucks either ignores or insults me when I try to resolve this.
Please avoid using Swagbucks. If this can happen to me after being a loyal member for years then it can definitely happen to you. There are much better survey sites out there. No need to waste your valuable time with brands like this that exist solely to exploit their workers. It's only a matter of time before they're out of business with any luck.
