Overview

Swagbucks, owned by Prodege, is one of the most established and widely recognized consumer loyalty platforms on the internet, having distributed hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards since its launch in 2008. Members collect Swagbucks points (SB) through diverse micro-activities including cash back online shopping at thousands of retail partners, taking consumer opinion surveys, playing promotional mobile games, scanning grocery receipts through Magic Receipts, and discovering special promotional trials. Every 100 SB equals 1.00 USD in real value. Points can be redeemed for PayPal cash, direct bank deposits, Amazon gift cards, and retailer e-vouchers, with discounted gift cards featured every month for extra savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

100 SB is equivalent to 1.00 USD. A 5.00 USD gift card requires 500 SB, and a 25.00 USD card requires 2500 SB.

You can redeem points for PayPal cash, direct bank deposit, prepaid Visa cards, or electronic gift cards for retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target.
