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.

Easy way to earn gift cards
September 27, 2019

Swagbucks is the reward site I have stuck with. There are so many different ways to earn Swagbucks and once I redeem them, I receive my gift card code instantly! Swagbucks offers many different prize choices, but the one that keeps me using the site is that they offer Amazon gift cards. It doesn't take me long to earn one either. I mostly earn my Swagbucks through internet searches and shopping through their links, but sometimes I answer polls, watch a series of videos, or answer surveys.

Used to be a big fan
September 27, 2019

I used to love using Swagbucks but it gets worse and worse. More is required to earn less it seems... that is if they even honor the agreement set forth. Several times I will complete an offer and no sb's are given.

It is a fun and easy way to earn small amount gift cards by taking surveys etc... But sometimes you don't receive what you are owed.

If you have a lot of free time to devote to the site you can earn a decent amount of swag Bucks but it can be frustrating. Sometimes it seems as if I try 10-15 surveys before I actually find one I can complete.

Swagbucks has helped over the years. I think I began using back in 2011/2012. My bucks added up and I used to treat me son to date nights, now he is grown and married and just use to help out family budget.

Swagbucks is an absolutely greedy website. The 2500 SB requirement to pay out for $25 is far too high. Having 100 SB equal $1 is too much. It equates to it taking far too long to earn any sizable amount of money. I am a very poor person desperately struggling to make even the smallest amounts of money, and the fact they make it that hard is absolutely evil. I need money, and this is a just waste of time. Just like everything else I've tried to get income from. It reminds me that life hates me and does not want me, nay out right refuses to ever let me accomplish me. What's the point even trying? Overall, I say this site deserves nothing but 1 star reviews. They need to make it so that 1 SB = $1, and make more FREE, as in ACTUALLY Free offers. Many of their free offers still require you to spend money registering or signing up for something. And that's just straight up unjust. If they simply made it easier and quicker to pay out, we would have less poverty and the world would be a better place, and they would also have a lot more traffic. But instead they make you struggle to even get a few hundred SB.

How can you beat free money
September 27, 2019

Easy to use and fun to save. I use Swagbucks and the swagbucks button whenever I'm shopping online to save a few dollars and then use my sb to get gift cards to my favorite stores. It's simple and easy, I love it!

If you spend a little time on here, you can earn swagbucks pretty easily, especially with the Swagbucks live trivia game. If you shop online regularly you can get points shopping thru the site, as well.

Patience Patience Patience

It takes a lot of patience to earn some funds. If you're expecting fast money, it won't happen. Customer service could be better. However, you will eventually get paid.

Swagbucks is a good
September 26, 2019

I like the survives. They are fun to do and a fair about the amount of time to take. I wish that it would let you know sooner if you don't qualify to take a survey.

I like that when I shop online I could get Swagbucks, a nice little something extra for a couple extra clicks. But I don't visit for anything else. They have too low rates for everything. I've been a member for many years (shortly after its launch) and have seen actions such as watching videos decline substantially, to the point that it is not worth the electricity to watch their videos. I used to watch videos A LOT and actually be able to complete surveys but haven't for several years.

Even a casual user of Swagbucks can earn $3 to $5 a month. Many people earn more. The ways to earn are numerous and not hard. I've been using it for years. Check out the site.
