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.

"Okay "
September 30, 2018

This is an okay site. It allows you to earn extra cash for things you would normally do like: shopping, watching ads, etc. Do not count on it to make any significant $$$. Like other reviewers, I agree, it has gotten worse over the last year.

Great app. Just don't know why you have pending swagbucks for do long. About a month to be exact. And then it take forever to get your gift cards you redeemed

Extra cash
September 29, 2018

This is a good way to earn some extra cash but don't think it will replace a job. I do it occasionally and earn about $25 per month. Its like gas in my car for the week. However it can be frustrating when videos don't work, surveys you don't qualify etc. If something frustrates me, I move on. Customer service doesn't really help even though they appear they want to help. Microsoft Bing does a lot better job in this and that is hard to believe because Microsoft sucks.

We've redeemed our swagbucks for shoes, jewelry, gold, and home appliances. The games are fun & rebates on purchases have been awesome.

Spend money to make money

A fun way to make a little money if you have the extra time. Don't expect big bucks right away unless you spend money

Like it a lot. Easy to use. Saves me much money. Love getting money back on purchases and the gift card discounts. Will try to recruit other members (and love that I can earn commissions on that as well).

Swagbucks is a hoot!
September 29, 2018

I enjoy Swagbucks. I feel as if the surveys are helping somebody, even tho I may not know who. That makes me have a good feeling. These surveys are a positivity for me too because the points add up and I use them for giftcards, which I am currently using to treat myself to go to Disneyland! My daughter is a Disney Castmember, so the teme park tix are free and the resort hotel is deeply discounted. But I have been able to use my travel connections to get free airline tix and I have enough giftcards for all of our meals! Yep, I'd call that a win-win!

Made some money
September 29, 2018

I've been a Swagbucks member for several years and us it casually. I've made some money with it and am happy with that. It is definitely not as good and easy to use as it was before.

Easy money
September 29, 2018

I use Swagbucks for most of my shopping and searching. It's an easy way to rack up points then exchange them for gift cards where you already shop. I don't do the surveys or anything so I'm not getting the most out of it because it's not worth my time.

I would do more surveys and play SwagIQ more often. There just isn't enough time for everything though.

Frustrating
September 28, 2018

Try to take surveys, get half way through and get told I don't qualify, waste of my time. Sometimes I feel the surveys get information but kick you because they don't want to pay you for your survey.

Absolutely love it!
September 27, 2018

I am a regular swagbucks user, since 2015. I order gift cards from the site and online shopped at several stores. I have earned enough swagbucks to redeem giftcards to Nike, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, PayPal, and several other stores. I absolutely love it!

Award Winning
September 27, 2018

The staff is outstanding in many ways. Redeeming my swagbucks for a gift card is rewarding in many ways. I love this community and their staff. The community offers many opportunities to earn and learn. The staff never slacks on answering your questions or updating you with interesting new items around the community. The payouts are always timely and easy to access.

WOOHOO FREE GIFT CARDS
September 27, 2018

I have been using Swagbucks for 10 yrs (give or take). I've had many people say, "there's no way they can give you cards for free." NOT TRUE if you stick with just the watch stuff then not only do you earn cards without it costing a dime you also don't end up with tons of emails from "partners". I have used Swagbucks for everything from covering ALL of Christmas and my daughter's birthdays, all in December by the way, BUT I have also used it for essentials such as dog food or brakes for my car from Amazon, if you have the patience to run the videos it's TOTALLY WORTH IT! As you can see from my pic over the years I have earned more than $1000 in gift cards from them. I LOVE SWAGBUCKS because with them you don't have to live as poor as you actually are

The effective usage of the mobile version for getting amazon gift cards has always been easy, however now that it is slowly becoming harder to do, requireing more time to check on it, and with crashes every few hours, sometimes to the point where the device must be restarted has slowed down the income.
3/5 Would swag again
