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 money
September 22, 2019

I love most everything about this app. I wish the gift cards were instant and the surveys paid more. Besides that I'm really happy with everything else. Enjoy making side money for my houseplant addiction.

I've been on Swagbucks just shy of 3 years. The last few months have been the worse I've seen as far as pay out goes. I'm hoping with the holidays coming up things will improve, especially the videos. We'll see. The last few days I have seen an uptick. I like the site overall and would hate for it to become a total waste of time.

Swagbucks is great!

I use Swagbucks whenever I buy anything on line. I have gotten a couple $100 gift cards and the points add up very quickly.

So far, so good
September 22, 2019

I've only been a member for 3 weeks and have received a payout without issue. There are far too many surveys that when completed, you are advised you did not qualify and no points are rewarded, however, most of those can be avoided. If you have money to shop, they do offer some good deals.

Sometime it works but...
September 21, 2019

They have too low rates for everything. This means that in other sites you can get paid more for the same surveys and tasks, Other than that, they have too many crediting problems and their support provides canned answers and you may need to wait for a month until you get a real response, which might not be helpful. There are certainly better places to go.

I enjoy the perks of Swagbucks for sure! But I've found some of the partners questionable and some even downright shady. I don't think there are very many, if any protections in place for SB users.

Some earning opportunities are pretty good; others (like videos) have the WORST time: reward ratio. I do not like that Swagbucks is not transparent about their affiliation to MyPoints and Proedge.

Before I was not a big fan. But with me doing surveys which I love to do and getting my gift cards from Amazon and it didn't take weeks or months to build point! I enjoy the questions and rewards.

Swagbucks is a good survey site that does pay out in the form of numerous gift cards. However, it does take time to build up enough to redeem your points for gc. I'm happy with this site.

I've been using this site since feb 2019 and i've made a few $100. You can take surveys or watch videos. I get a little sketchy on offers, but customer support has been helpful. Also, if you're going to buy something from amazon, macys, other big retailers, why not get some cash back?

Super Coolario!

How cool to get paid for what you are already buying. My only question... "why did it take me so long to figure this out?"

Love Swagbucks!
September 19, 2019

If you have the time to invest, the reward is worth it! It does take time for the points to add up, but over the past year I've redeemed a little over 50,000 ($500 worth) of points, and the one time I didn't get the gift card I ordered they made it right. No complaints!
