What is Swagbucks?

Swagbucks is one of the largest and most established online rewards platforms, offering multiple ways to earn points (called SB). Users can earn SB through paid surveys, cashback shopping at participating retailers, watching videos, playing games, using the Swagbucks search engine (powered by Yahoo), completing daily polls and quizzes, and referring friends. Each 100 SB equals $1, redeemable for gift cards from Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, and many others, or direct PayPal cash. Gift card redemption starts as low as $1, while PayPal cashouts typically require a $25 minimum. The platform has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to its members since launching.

Mission & values

Reward everyday online activities — surveys, shopping, video, search — by sharing brand-marketing dollars back with members as cash and gift cards.

Qualifications

Users must be at least 13 years old. Swagbucks is available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, India, and other countries. Completing profile questions helps match users with relevant surveys. Each survey includes screening questions based on demographics (age, gender, location, interests). Providing truthful and consistent answers is important — surveys include attention-check questions that can lead to disqualification if failed. Availability of earning opportunities varies by country.
