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 but time consuming
November 4, 2018

I like Swagbucks but often do a very lengthy survey then told I don't qualify. Frustrating. That's all I have to say

Cool
November 4, 2018

Good sight. Not a full time job, but can earn you 5 or 10 dollars a week without spending any money.

This is a great site for kids 12 - 16 years old

I use Swagbucks all the time for web searches and get points! Also do short surveys and do online purchasing to get points! It's easy and you can then get gift cards to use for your points.

I've been using a few different apps to save up gift cards, and Swag Bucks has been the fastest means. I would give it a 5 if not for the glitches and inconsistent customer service. I didn't receive the 2200SB I was supposed to get for signing up with Dollar Shave Club; I sent in a complaint/ request for help, and never heard back. However when there was a glitch with their surveys that was booting me without even opening them, they responded within a few days and gave me some credits for the issue. The most glitches occur with their surveys, which is the fastest way to get credits without spending money. Most of the time the site works fine though, so it's not always a waste of time.

It is so pleasant and respectable to see character, and validity from a site such as Swagbucks in reciprocated tasks and rewards that I look forward to choosing and completing. Thank you!

Works for me!
November 4, 2018

Been using for about 7 months and have redeemed my SB for over $500 in gift cards. It took a minute to figure it out but once I got the hang of it, I just do a little bit most mornings (15-30 minutes about 5 days a week) and click through their site when I'm gonna shop online or book travel online. Usually buy my gift cards through them as well.

Worth the effort!

Swagbucks is a legit site! I've been a member for years now. Easy tasks earn rewards that pretty much equal free money. Instead of surfing aimlessly around the net reading hollywood gossip or looking at yet another cat meme try swagbucks and earn yourself some loot for free!

I like Swagbucks and I use it daily unless something comes up and I am not near my computer. I enjoy it immensely and the rewards are good.

Too many changes have been made. Makes it more difficult to earn SwagBucks. I used to be able to find Christmas but this year is looking pretty sparse.

Easy way to make some extra money! I've never had a problem with them at all. The surveys are easy to do and you can watch videos and shop at your usual stores for extra points!

The amount of ncraves fluctuates and they keep lowering the amount you earn for watching videos. Still, it's the most consistent earning site I've found.

I am constantly having problems with Swagbucks. It seems like every offer I complete through the "Discover" section, i never get credit for it. Sometimes the visit is tracked, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it shows I made a purchase but I don't get the points, sometimes it doesn't show I made a purchase at all. It just happened to me again, twice. In the same day! Because of this and having to constantly reach out to customer support, it makes me not as interested in participating as I'd like to be. It's very unfortunate because I could see myself really getting into SwagBucks if I didn't have these issues.

Swagbucks is a great website if you want to earn some extra money in your spare time. There are many ways to earn points, and there is a wide variety of giftcards that can be bought with points earned. However, Swagbucks has been making it increasingly hard to earn points, which is why I did not give it a rating of 5.

I love swagbucks but i think some of the surveys dont pay out as they should. I like watching the videos and doing the daily polls they are really fun to do.

If you can think long term it is a way to get money for little effort. It's not going to be a main source of income but you can pick up some gift cards.
