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.

Swagbucks is the best. It's the only online money maker that I can get to consistently work for me. The rewards are small but fair. I spend alot of time on YouTube, so I really appreciate their watch section. Sometimes a video may even be funny or really interesting. As long as nothing changes, I'll stay loyal for a long time to come. My only suggestion would be that it would be nice if the processing time on cards wasn't like four days, but again that's still faster than anywhere else so I can't complain.

Actually pretty cool
March 10, 2019

I thought it was a scam but since I have a lot of down time at work I thought meh what could it hurt. In one week I made $25 in giftcards, but I was still skeptical, what if the gfcs are fake? But just redeemed my wal mart one yesterday and it worked! So overall I'm really happy

Everything went good. It just sucks that it takes a few days unlike a lot of other sites you get them with in a few minutes.

One of the best if not the best web sites for earning money. You have so many ways to earn money that it would take all day just to explain.

I have been using Swagbucks and sites like it for many years now and I can say it is the best site of it's type. The site has a easy to use interface and even has an extension you can install that helps you earn more from them. There are many ways to earn money using this site, everything from surveys, to registering for trial products, to getting cashback from purchases, to playing games and watching videos, not to mention their bonus games. But easily the best part, Swagbucks always pays, I can proudly say I have not had issue with them skimping a payment or retracting my earned credits for whatever reason they come up with on the fly as I have experienced with others. Personally, I love Swagbucks and hope it stays around for a long time.

I like Swagbucks I wish it wasn't limited and you could get more faster tho. I mean other than the ads that pops up and make you have to go back and exit them out the videos have worked well no problem I just want more points or cash from it.

I have been a member since Swagbucks has first started and just like everything else, change is not always a good thing. Swag bucks used to be awesome, but in the past year, it has gotten harder and harder to achieve swagbucks. The codes are not as generous or as easy for some to redeem, like the mobile phone app, the notifications hardly actually notify, the surveys are a scam especially when you spend 20 minutes of a 20 minute survey only to be told that the survey has reached the number of occupants needed or you get disqualified WHEN you go to submit for your swagbucks. And forget trying to fight with swagbucks help staff when you inquire about either said survey OR missing swagbbucks as they are absolutely NOT friendly like they used to be. I think that they actually argue with you so that you end up giving up on the fight and lose your swagbucks that you worked so hard for. Yes, after all is said, Swagbucks IS free money so we are told that we shouldn't complain, but really, the free money isn't even worth all of my time and aggravation anymore!

Thank you for feedback. The Survey disqualifications are something we are working with the panels to provide a better experience. Be on the lookout for some new feature in the coming months. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

I'm retired and enjoy the extra money Starbucks provides! SO far I've earned a $25 Amazon card! It can be time consuming, but I focus on the reward!

I find SB easy to use and if you're going to make a purchase or do a trial anyway, you might as well get compensated. I'm a long-term user and have made a fair amount of money from it.

Some task are super easy and earn a few pennies. Some task take a bit more time, but can earn a few dollars. Surveys and shopping points are my favorite way to earn cause the amount can add up quickly. Shopping points are really great cause I earn simply for using the Swagbucks link before I shop at most of my favorite stores and many new stores I have found. There are some earning opportunities that pay $10-$25 or more, but those have specific details that must be completed to get the points. On those I would read the details thoroughly. I've never considered the site a scam because no business is going to give me something for doing nothing. I may spend 5 hours a month interacting with the website and usually earn $100-$200 a year in gift cards. One way to extend the points is also to take advantage of the discounted gift cards they offer each month that saves points off the regular price of the gift card.

Love Swagbucks

I love Swagbucks. When you take the surveys they still give you points even if you don't qualify for the survey. I've gotten a lot of free gift cards from them. I recommend Swagbucks. They're legit

In Swagbucks you have surveys, videos, games, and many other ways to earn points. You have a daily to do list which helps you get points at the end of the month with a goal. You are not obligated in anyway to do a survey everyday. It is a good way of earning gift cards for many different stores to choose from. I get gift cards for home depot as I have been remodeling my home and also use them for my yard. If is fun to do.

I've been using Swagbucks multiple times a week for 10+ years and love the concept! I have the App on my iPhone and the Extension on my browser. Recently I redeemed nearly 100,000 Swagbucks for gift cards that will profoundly assist my family daily. I can't say enough about SB and when the App had the question and answer show my husband and I showed up daily to learn and earn!

We are BIG fans of Swagbucks and tell our friends every chance we get. People just don't know what they are missing!
