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.

Ive used swagbucks for many years, since 2008 or '09 I think. For the most part it is a site directed at making themselves money thru having others view advertising, but you do earn for watching that advertising, or doing surveys, playing a few free games, watching videos, searching the internet for info, or accessing special offers where you pay out of pocket but earn back the same amount or more in swagbucks, thereby getting items for free. Anything i buy instore and send a receipt has been excellent, but I would not recommend the online offers as Ive had an unauthorized charge on my card for an 'auto-renewal'. That was NOT stated in the fine print. (thanks to Paypal for seeing the same offer via my screenshots and taking my side, getting my money back!) ANYWAY, "making sure you have screenshots to back you up" is my advice. It is a decent earning site, altho offers are getting slimmer (we used to earn 2 cents every 30 seconds up to a certain limit- we now earn 2 cents every few minutes, up to a lowered limit). There are many offers that run 'in the background', so you can do other things on your system while you earn. They offer tons of giftcards! Many are different denominations from $5- $250.00. MOST do NOT expire, (the visa cards DO expire, so watch your dates) As for customer service... Ive had good and bad experiences, mostly good. Good luck - heres my link https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/nickelpincher to help you join and make sure you say 'nickelpincher' is your sponsor... if you need help on the site, I'll do my best to answer your questions.

I recently found out about swagbucks after doing some online research and I have to say it's a pretty cool deal. Sometimes the surveys are hard to get into but once you start doing it awhile, you eventually find some good ones. There is also great deals on online shopping. You must read the fine prints and don't expect too much at first.

I enjoy the surveys and the gift cards. I would recommend to everyone I know. I try to do it everyday but my work schedule makes it hard to do that.

Awesome app
February 18, 2019

I love swagbucks because it helps with extra cash in my pocket and it's easy to use. Only problem is the wait for the gift cards. Way to long of a wait. But it's worth it.

A little loot!
February 18, 2019

Swagbucks is a go to survey site. I always get my points redeemed. Surveys are harder to come by the longer you are here, but they allow many other ways to earn points.

Swagbucks Rocks!
February 18, 2019

I love Swagbucks. I am on the web for church related things. I look at bible studies and ladies studies and I constantly rack up swagbucks. I then purchase Amazon giftcards which help me buy presents for my 10 grandchildren! DOES it get any better than that?

I use this almost daily. Anytime I'm shopping online (which is all the time,) I check to see if SB is available. Honestly, it it's not I might look at another retailer to buy the same product with the potential of earning SB. It's simple to use and if there is ever an issue customer service is readily available. I've earned well over $300 in just purchasing items that I wanted to buy! Seriously getting paid to shop- why not!?

Something for everyone
February 18, 2019

I have been a swagernaut for some time now. I have learned what works for me. I like the search engine and the deals I get in the shopping section. I also like earning the swag bucks of course. You have to play around to figure out what works for you. I have never had any problems. All in all I have had a great experience with swag bucks.

Since learning about swagbucks I've fallen in love with it and can't shop online without first seeing if there's a way to earn swag bucks on the site and before I check my swagbucks balance and whether you have gift cards for them

Swagbucks review

It sucks when you spend 20 minutes or more on a survey than says you not qualify for it so basically a big waste of time
