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.

This is a decent way to get some extra cash, but sometimes it gets absurdly difficult to find any surveys to which you qualify. Actually, it would be more accurate to say most surveys are a legit scam. You end up wasting 30 minutes on a survey that actually turned out to be a "pre-survey" that asked for all of your consumer information, such as recent purchases, travel plans, subscriptions you may have, then give time-consuming insight for every single thing, then surprise! You are "disqualified" and you get 1 penny.

Swagging

I like it and always get problems resolved. I wish it was not always geared to mobile, because no everyone has mobile devices.

It's cool
August 8, 2019

The Swagbucks app is easy enough to use, and free gift cards for a little of my time is worth it.

It's good but...

Takes too long to get SB. It will be better if the surveys catered to me. I'm wasting time on ones I'm not qualified for

Redemption
August 7, 2019

Received the $25 amazon card in 2 days, still waiting for the $50 dollar one. Seems like the higher the value the longer the wait.

I have earned a few rewards, which is better than nothing, but the process seems more difficult than it should be. Some points "earned" don't even register, so that's a waste and so far none of the surveys have been applicable to me so that's a waste of time, as well; however, in spite of all that, I have still earned two small gift cards, which was nice.

I love how easy it is to earn Swagbucks and trade them in for gift cards. I have friends who save them up for holiday shopping. I use mine as I earn them to get myself treats without spending my money.

SwagBucks Review
August 5, 2019

I have been using swagbucks for over two years and while I feel while I still think the site is very good, my opinion is that it has slightly dropped in quality, such as harder to earn swagbucks through ncrave if it's available, mobile watch apps having to many ads and shorter daily earning limits.

I use Swagbucks casually in the way that I run the videos while I am browsing and I clip and print coupons for points. Swagbucks also works as a rebate/earn points site for places I usually shop online at anyway. I get enough points within a couple of weeks just from doing that to get $5-$10 gift cards either for Target, Walmart, or Amazon. It's passive income, and nothing to make a living off of. However, it works pretty well and consistantly pays out for me at least. I would highly recommend Swagbucks if you are looking for a little extra pocket money to spend.
