I've just signed up to Swagbucks via MSE however I'm now second doubting that it's not a scam! Can anyone reassure , give me pointers at all?

TIA

It's not a scam, but it's a lot of effort for what you get. I always seemed to spend a lot of time doing the preliminary questions, then get told I'm the wrong demographic for the survey, so don't get to do the 'paid' for bit.

All you can do is try, I did lots over a week or so (like several hours a day), pluse starting bonus and shopping rewarded for some insurance that was due. This got me a £25 Amazon voucher, which was nice, but probably not worth the effort.

If I was desperate (eg. Kids birthday coming up and nothing in the bank) I'd probably keep at it, but otherwise I wouldn't bother, probably averaged out earning less then £1 an hour.

I have also used this and had vouchers, it used to be easier to make money ‘watching’ videos on your phone but they have stopped a lot of the easier ways to do this.

I've used this, but same as previous posters, I no longer bother with the surveys as they are just too time consuming and I got fed up of spending time on the preliminary questions, to then not be eligible for the survey. I still use it occasionally to get some points by using their search box, or the rare occasion that I can get cashback on a rchase that I don't through topcashback etc. Prolific is much better with regard to surveys, as they don't waste your time to then just be screened out.

One thing that swagbucks do now is earning rewards for playing certain mobile games, but I've not tried that, so not sure if it's worth it.
