How does Swagbucks pay its users?
Turning your SB points into rewards is very straightforward and can be done in a variety of ways:
- PayPal credit: If you want to turn your points into straight cash, you can withdraw them via PayPal. However, you’ll have to put the work in, as Swagbucks’ minimum threshold for PayPal withdrawals is 2500 SB, the equivalent to $25.
- Gift cards: With a minimum threshold of 300 SB ($3.00), gift cards are a very popular method of redeeming rewards. If you choose this route, you will have to choose a single store in which you’d like to spend your earnings.
- Amazon gift cards: While this is similar to the option above, you can cash out Amazon gift cards for as little as 100 SB ($1.00). It’s the quickest way to see the fruits of your labor, but of course, won’t save you a great deal on a purchase.
- Coupons: As you may have guessed, Swagbucks is very gift card oriented. The platform allows you to save up to 13% on more expensive $25 gift cards should you wish to do so.
These methods of payment aren’t as versatile as Swagbucks would lead you to believe, as they are very gift card centric. While it’s great to receive discounts for certain brands, it does feel as though Swagbucks and its partners are the real winners with every transaction.
