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 not great...
October 29, 2018

I don't spend a lot of time on this survey site or take part in many of the activities because they are very time consuming for very small rewards. There's a lot of ads and promotional related offers that I pass up. I've earned enough to get a couple of $25 gift cards, but it takes a while to do so with the surveys. Like most sites, they prefer certain demographics and those that fit get the best offers for surveys.

I saw Swagbucks while I was on my Facebook news feed and decided to create a free account. Once I started, I found the surveys to be very interesting. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on various topics, and after a couple of days, I qualified for a $5 gift card! Just like that. I will continue to take the surveys and also discover the other features Swagbucks has, watching videos, shopping online and even playing games. Swagbucks is a credible business and I'm always happy to use it.

My two go-to rewards sites where I take surveys to earn giftcards are eRewards and Swagbucks. I find that with eRewards, I qualify for the surveys much more often so I earn rewards faster, and I get a bigger payout for surveys taken so I have to take fewer of them to earn a giftcard (but their rewards options are kind of dumb). With Swagbucks, they have tons of great rewards options (i. E., gifcards to stores that I really like and I frequently shop at, like Express and Target and Amazon), but it takes FOREVER to earn a reward because I rarely qualify to take their surveys and when I do, I don't get very many "points" for it. With eRewards, when I qualify for a giftcard and order one, I get it instantly and can spend it right away. With Swagbucks, it took several days for the reward to go through after ordering, which I thought was pretty pointless.

Swagbucks is awesome! I've earned almost $50 in gift cards in about a week! They have quick and simple ways to earn legitimate rewards! I would highly recommend Swagbucks and I will most definitely continue using it!

Rip off
October 27, 2018

Very poor. You can spends hours answering questions without earning a single point. Far too many questionnairres where you get near the end and then told you don't qualify. Rip off.

Repetitive
October 28, 2018

Too many surveys ask the same questions before you get to the survey. Why don't you keep that with the person taking the survey then we wouldn't be doing pre-surveys that make us ineligible for the survey.

Money
October 28, 2018

I'm very happy with swagbucks. I am on their site everyday for about 5 hours. I have made extra money that goes for bills and groceries. The extra money comes in very handy when you are on a limited income.

October 28, 2018

Easy to use platform to receive points that can be redeemed for gift cards or cash. There is very minimal delay upon cash out and I've never experienced any missing payments. Offers a wide variety of earning options. Very satisfied with the process.

So far so good
October 28, 2018

I like Swagbucks and have been using it for a week and a half now to make some extra money for the holidays. Of course some things are time consuming and and I wish you got more swagbucks for watching videos but it is what it is. Honestly how much you make will be determined by how much effort you put into it. Took my first gift card 4 days to get to me which was ok but I wish it was sooner. I made $25 in a week by the way and opted for the Wal-Mart gift card

Swagbucks Rating
October 28, 2018

I like Swagbucks for the most part. I understand that the recent communication issue is most likely due to COVID 19. However, I mainly have issues with the surveys, as I am disqualified from most of them. I especially like mCrave, and the rewards from shopping. Finally, I like the new system of getting SB for shopping online and submitting receipts. I also appreciate how quickly gift cards are disbursed.
