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.

So the first day was wonderful, I made the equivalent of $16. I really wanted to make at least $25. I’m on day three now and I still have about $16. The first day you are completely loaded up with surveys and points. The days after that you aren’t credited points you rightfully earned, you’re disqualified from almost every survey, and you only get a chance to take maybe five surveys a day. Not really worth your time. The first day is great because they want to suck you in. They don’t actually intend on rewarding you.

Swagbucks is a very dishonest company. It states only one member per house hold may join. It says you can not complete and offer more than once and they never have any new offers just the same old offers. The gold surveys tell you that you are lying so they won't have to credit you. Very dissatisfied Swagbucks customer used them for a long time but I deleted my account and do not recommend them anymore. They are the worst survey company ever. Not worth your time!

Update: After being a member for over two years they banned me from taking Gold Surveys. I got tired of submitting support tickets for missing credit on surveys and online shopping. I never really cared for Swago or the offers so I was limited to the Daily Poll, Search button, and Peanut Labs. I can barely get a balance up for a $3 Amazon & have just about given up.

I have been on Swagbucks for only a month and so far I have cashed out $80 in gift cards. It took a lot of trial and error to become familiar with best offers and surveys. It can be overwhelming at first. I have narrowed it down to just doing certain surveys, answering the daily poll, clipping coupons, and playing Swagasaurus.

Occasionally, I will take advantage of purchasing through one of their partners, if it's a website I tend to frequent for online shopping. The free trials and sample offers just junk up your email inbox and ask for too much personal info.

The redemption process is pretty straightforward. Just make sure to always click on the validation emails. I usually receive my e-gift cards within a week. There is nothing more gratifying than to go to a store, i.e. Walmart, and hear the scanner beep and accept the printed out gift card. It makes it worth the effort. I redeemed a couple of gas e-gift cards and even the cashier was like, "Where are you getting these? I could do that!"

So, if you have at least a few hours to spare a day this is a good way to bring in some supplemental income. My goal is about 150 SB a day and I am able to reach 1000 SB in about a week. I snag mostly $10 Walmart gift cards. They really come in handy for everyday essentials.

Some days on Swagbucks are better than others. I DO go through dry spells, but just remain persistent. You never know when a really good offer will pop up or if you'll get mega SB points for just looking up something specific on their search engine. Good luck!

survey time does not include the time they take to see if you 'qualify' for the survey. over half the time you will complete a survey (link states 5 minutes... actual time invested will be closer to 15 minutes) and then with 1% more to complete they will kick you out and you will not be rewarded anything, or rewarded 1sb... multiply that by 5 times in order to get your goal and you will be out and hour and fifteen minutes of your life and have NOTHING to show for it.
