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.

Good side hustle
August 5, 2019

I like that you can earn rewards by taking surveys and shopping with cash back. It is the most legitimate app that I have used. The surveys are short and fun to take. I use the shopping feature quite frequently as well.

I spend a hour, that I would normally spend gaming or browsing, and earn points doing surveys and other offers and turn those points into giftcards.

Spam and junk
August 2, 2019

This is a messy, cluttered, spammy experience. I don't think I'll work toward another gift card. Too many scams, videos that play but don't give me swagbucks, and giving away my email and data for no reward.

Pretty Good!
August 2, 2019

I do like Swagbucks. The best ways to extra money through the site are to take surveys and collect rebates on online purchases through their site. The surveys are for you if you are patient (I always get kicked out of several before qualifying for one) and have extra time on your hands.
If you have the patience, stick with it. Recently, I qualified for a Swagbucks forum that paid out $45.00 for only 90 minutes of my time! You can cash out at $3.00 minimum for an Amazon gift card after taking a handful of surveys.

Just learn to balance your time to avoid burnout and don't be too disappointed when you don't qualify for surveys right away. Other than that, avoid getting sucked up into dumb things, like watching the 2 cents for 12 videos in a row, and you'll do fine with the site!

I would give Swagbucks 5 stars but I've run into a problem with Sam's club inbox offer that they may or may not honor. Normally the customer service deserves an A+ rating. Depending on how they handle this issue my rating could go to 5 stars or down to 3 stars. I will update this review in the future.

I remember the days of earning 1000 to 1500 swagbucks without spending the entire day on it, now with so many members and offers that do not pay out as much, it takes all day to earn your first goal. I do not spend as much time on swagging as I used to. Don't get me wrong, swagbucks is awesome, I have earned a lot of swagbucks thru the years but I just do not have the time to spend all day to earn a dollar. As far as the staff, they have always been awesome the few times I have actually had to submit a ticket and have never been not paid on an offer that I put out money for.
