Swagbucks Reviews Summary

Swagbucks presents a mixed reputation among its users, with some customers appreciating the variety of ways to earn rewards, such as surveys and games. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding account deactivations, unresponsive customer service, and delayed payouts. Many users report frustration over not receiving compensation for completed surveys and feeling misled about earning potential. The overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, with a notable number of users warning others against investing time in the platform due to perceived scams and inadequate support. This suggests a pressing need for the company to enhance its customer service and reliability.

It can work
October 12, 2019

It's not quick and easy but it does pay out - If spend an hour a day every 2 or 3 days I get about 25 bucks in gift cards

Fun, more than playing games. Learn about new things and products. Earn money on things you use and buy already. Interesting surveys. Oodles of offers. New things and companies added all the time.

I've been using this site for a few years, and while it takes a while to hit cashout if you only do surveys, rather than promotional deals that require spending money, it has been the difference between making rent and not in more than one month. My only other criticism is that a lot of the paid offers, if you do them, take 32 days to credit, which means you actually end up losing money because you have to stay subscribed until it credits in most cases.

Love Swagbucks!

Easy way to pickup a few extra dollars! Was a whole lot easier to earn more, but money is money and it is still easy!

Would definitely recommend to young teens, teens, adults, even older people, it works for everyone. It is so easy and simple to use anyone can do it, the surveys are also very interesting and almost makes you think about your life and the things you like to do. Not only do I think this is a good way to earn some extra cash, but I think it's also relaxing to just sit and take surveys about myself helping me to know myself better.

Swagbucks is something that I'll always use more than 5 times a week, I love it. You get free money from doing simple surveys and you get gift cards from all types of places. There should be more apps like swagbucks

Make money in your spare time and fairly easy to navigate:-) Seems like lately I have had a few incidents where they would not honor deals I paid memberships for stating they couldn't track it. I say work from a desktop, keep screen shots, and try to complete deals where you don't spend money:-/

Easy to get rewards
October 8, 2019

Although I love this app and use it daily, I don't like that I get 90 percent of the way done with a survey and I accidentally hot the shop button and my survey ends itself and I lose all points.

I use this often enough instead of video games to earn gift cards in my spare time. It's a great way to earn some extra benefits while being online as well. Even if you just take a few surveys, the savings rack up quickly.

Love Swagbucks BUT...
October 7, 2019

I love Swagbucks but I wish the videos would
Play like they used too. It's really hard to earn even enough to get a $25 gift cards a month like I used to because the videos always freeze and I hardly ever qualify for surveys

I like the app, but the rate of accepted surveys stinks sometimes. And it has stopped working 15+ minutes into a survey, losing the ability to complete or collect. Also, if you change your answer it questions your credibility even if it was an actual change of opinion or lifestyle

I wish that surveys would disqualify you (if needed) within 3 minutes instead of waiting until AFTER you have invested 20 minutes of time!

Wow, Swagbucks is just Wow. It's 100% legit. I already redeemed 3 $25 dollars giftcard and used it to buy the Gold Pass in one of my favorite game Clash of Clans.
Swagbucks is super rewarding.

I have a member for a while now. Swagbucks offers an excellent variety of surveys. Even when you are disqualified, you usually end up getting a few points. This is a pretty cool way to earn a few extra dollars when you a few free minutes.

Haven't used the gift card yet. I was hoping the gift card would be printable. I am not very tech savvy & hoping I can figure out how to use it
