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.

Adds Up To Fun
November 2, 2018

It might take a little while to add sb's up but it doesn't take much to redeem. So meant ways to earn points. You'll be receiving your gift cards in no time. I just started 2 weeks ago and I've already received a $15 dominos, $5 Starbucks, and a $15 Amazon!

THANKS!

Sitting around? Doing nothing? Time to kill? Sit through that same time doing something on Swagbucks. It pays. Do something with it or do nothing with it, there's still something in it; even just using it for searches or watching a few videos; or just do the daily To-Do List. It adds up. Better than doing nothing just sitting around killing time for nothing.

Swagbucks is a fun, easy way to earn gift cards. You can do surveys, play games, or purchase specific products to earn points. The points aren't much at a time, but every little bit adds up and before you know it you've earned a $25 gift card!

I love Swagbucks! This is the second time I've cashed in within 2 1/2 to 3 months time at $25 each time via PayPal. That's $50 I desperately needed yall! I would recommend Swagbucks to anyone, and if yall and can definitely show proof. Please use my link anyone: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/eck*******. I've been with Swagbucks a long time, and they've never let me down. For pic of proof, go to Swagbucks app on Facebook.

Swagbucks is pretty nice
November 2, 2018

It's convenient to help my son out with free AGCs since, by his own words, I'm a selfish geezer more concerned about funding my retirement than helping him out.

Swagbucks does need to fix the surveys. My son's experience is sometimes you get almost to the end, then it disqualifies you. Unacceptable: surveys must either qualify or disqualify you at start. Any company failing to ensure this is lazy and incompetent and should stay the hell out of surveys until fix this.

Also, swagbucks needs to fix the tendency of their advertisers to leave the nCrave full of troll offers. They should *only* be valid and workable any day of the week. Kick out any business that doesn't meet this standard!

Excellent

Didn't think it would work, was skeptical. Proved me wrong! It's pretty easy to make points. All you need to do is complete tasks or shop

It is a nice site but after a while there are very few rewarding ways to make any points. It might take a long while but if you have the time you can eventually make some money.

I think swagbucks is great, I mean you can earn all those rewards for having fun, doing surveys and signing up for awesome things. I have already told everyone I know about it and have advised them to definitely sign up.

I just redeemed points for a $20 gift card. I love that! It's not too terribly hard to earn points but stuff like watching videos takes too long for very minimal points. To get the most points you usually have to sign up for something and of course, you can cancel before the introductory/trial period is over to keep from getting charged and still get your SBs, but then that requires you to stay on top of it especially if you did this for more than one offer. But honestly, the part that bothers me most is spending 20 minutes on a survey to all of a sudden be told I don't qualify. Why did it take so many questions to figure that out? Why do I have to keep answering all my demographic questions for each survey? I wish there was a way to streamline the process to avoid this but I know a lot of surveys are third party and that's hard to do. Either way, I don't kill myself spending hours a day on here just to get some extra cash. I hope no one does. If you do, than if you can, just get a part time job. This is good for random spending money, not income.
