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.

Very fast and easy service. I got my gift card sooner than expected for $3 less than retail value. I love Swagbucks!

Swagbucks gives the best discounts for any online shopping retailer. You are rewarded with points that build up very quickly and can be redeemed in Paypal, Virtual Visa, and countless retail gift cards. This website is not a scam. Below are 3 screenshots of my redemptions only in the past 2 1/2 years. I've been a Swagbucker for over 10 years. These negative reviews are false. This is legit and wonderful. Thank you Swagbucks for all the rewards. Sincerely, James Jenicek

I am overall happy with SB, they do work with you on problems you are having especially with Shop and Earn. Easy to add up extra money here. I recommend it if you have the time and patience to do it. Like all sites they have no control over some aspects of earning like surveys that don't credit and some that don't pay no matter what you do.
I am not a fan of Swag IQ, but hey you don't have to participate in that, and every no and then I get frustrated but overall I love it I am on the SB site off and on during the day and have a schedule I try to do daily and have had good results. Also use the mobile apps. Give it a try you don't have anything to lose

I have earned hundreds of dollars worth of Amazon gift cards over the last 4 or 5 years just from using the search&earn function. Their special offers are the highest paying ones compared to Mypoints and Inboxdollars. Most of them I'm not eligible for because they require paying for something that i have absolutely no use for or interest in but not always. Hefty reselable bags at Target spent $20 on 4 packs of them and got $15 cashback. Customer service -- during occasions where I don't receive credit for an offer -- is usually a breeze to work with although not always. Not using Swagbucks is like throwing $10 into the wishing well each month.

Easy money
January 31, 2019

It is not a huge money maker for me but every little bit helps. There are days I don't qualify for surveys and other days I get 3 or 4 in a day.

I love Swagbucks so much! I've been compensated fairly for the time I've spent on the site completing tasks. I've never had any difficulty collecting rewards and it's actually fun!

I'm a super happy Swaggernaut. I've adapted to making most, if not ALL my online purchases using Swagbucks. My most recent purchases landed me $135 in gift cards. I book my seasonal vacations, order electronics, and purchase odds and ends for my apartment using Swagbucks. The wait time on gift cards is really no wait at all. It's really like waiting for standard shipping 5-7 days. I couldn't be happier zero complaints here and keep up the great work Swagbucks!

Swagbucks is FOR REAL
January 28, 2019

I typically find Survey sites to be a pain in the $#*!, often bogus, and pay out hardly what they claim to. Swagbucks, I have found, is easy to use, has real surveys, and PAYS!

Mostly positive
January 26, 2019

I've been a member of SwagBucks for a few years now. I ONLY participate in surveys. I've had surveys close on me or just don't work. I've had them get all the way to the end and not give me points. BUT I've also gotten a lot of FREE MONEY (via Amazon gift cards & shopping at retailers on their points list) so I'm overall happy with SwagBucks.

At first I thought it was a scam, however it really is a great app for earning money or gift cards for doing what you already do everyday.

Decent app
January 26, 2019

Of course you don't get a ton of surveys unless your from a more diverse background, but you still get points for attempting. It's a lot easier to get SB than other survey apps or sites. I have already reedeemed several gift cards and though you may not be rolling in money it's kept my Amazon account comfortable for me lol. The biggest downside I'd say is that a lot of surveys will have you go through the survey and say your not eligible right before you finish. I'd like to answer questions on eligibility and then spend time on a survey instead of spending time in the survey only to lean I'm not eligible. But like I say you still get at least some SB even if you don't qualify for it.
