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.

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.

September 12, 2018

Not as big as a similar site but definitely worth making Swagbucks part of my normal hustling routine :)

Point system could be revised to hit goals faster. Would keep interest if rewarded more frequently. But over all it's worth the time spent.

Swagbucks is very time consuming as far as 40 min surveys for only 20 cents type stuff. But when you really need extra cash it is worth it.

I like this website for earning gift cards. In the beginning there are a lot of surveys you can do to earn but after the first month or so it's harder to earn points unless you buy from one of the offers. If it weren't for the buying into the offers I would have given 5 star.

After startup it is slow earning so far. As with other sites for me it is hard to qualify for a survey. Perhaps because I am elderly I am rejected or dumped during survey over 90% of the time. Some sites don't credit your account immediately. If you do reach a level for payout you usually don't get credited for some days. There is a hold. This is only to earn a little change...

Great but could be improved
September 12, 2018

The prizes and products are great. However too many times I go through a complete survey to have it fail on submit or say too bad.

Easy Gift Cards
September 12, 2018

Decent site if you have time to spend on watching ads or checking out offers. Be careful in the "shop" area though if you are counting on credits - only certain purchased items are eligible.

I like swag bucks. But I hate when you take 15 minutes to do a survey to find out you don't qualify for it.

Great way to earn!
September 12, 2018

Great way to earn some extra cash or a gift card, just for taking some pretty simple surveys!
I've gotten four different gift cards so far, and love it!

Almost a perfect website
September 12, 2018

This website would be the best site around, with the right crew in charge. If they would screen the offers before just posting them in order to get more. 7 out of 10 offers are just click bait. But overall it's pretty good if you take advantage of some of the offers that do work.

Hit or Miss
September 12, 2018

I have been a member for some time. It was fantastic and easy to use long ago. Now it has become harder to earn the pennies. Surveys are hit or miss. You may not qualify on SB but you may get the same exact survey from another site and it will qualify you.
Watching videos was great until they stuffed them full of ads. Sometimes it take two mins of ads just for one video. Rinse, repeat...
If I decide to do any offers that require you to pay something. I always take screenshots of everything. This way if it does not credit I can send proof that I completed it.
In the end, if you put some effort in it you can earn cash. Just do not try to become dependent on it.
