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.

Every Penny Counts
September 8, 2018

I like the fact that I earn points for doing things I already do, and it is a great way to earn extra cash to supplement fun spending. I wish the app was more versatile and mirrored more of the functionality of the website which is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. May I also add that the support staff are very responsive and helpful.

Swagbucks has been a great website for so many things to earn points for gift cards and even actual prepaid Visa cards. Not only do they have what seems to be endless surveys, they have games to play, videos to watch, even a game show that you can play dailh for your chance at a g and prize or shared grand prize. They offer so many different other opportunities go earn what are called Swagbucks with earning points for every dollar spent when shopping online at so many different companies I can't even start naming them all. They offer points for purchasing certain products that I am sure most everyone uses anyway so why not get paid for buying stuff you already do. There are free trials for every age group it seems like that they offer swagbucks to utilize free trials for services and on top of that they offer even more swagbucks for staying with the company if after the trial you realize the service is beneficial for you and your family to keep the service. It is such an exciting website, I am signed up for at least 5+ other survey sites and most if not all of my time is spent on Swagbucks and with very good reason so take my word and well I your probably thinking you do not k the w me so why take my advice but you sign up and let them speak for tnemselves, in a matter of no time you'll be thinking wow that Joshua guy was so right!

This site is great for helping earn a little extra to supplement income and help with getting things you need. There are plenty of ways to earn, even if you only have a little spare time on your hands. You can watch videos, do sign-ups, discount offers and my favorite (and most lucrative IMO) do surveys. I'd highly recommend checking it out, it's of no cost to you and only takes an email and some basic info to sign up.

Don't get me wrong, I love Swagbucks and use it daily. Over the years, though, it has become harder and more time-consuming to earn swagbucks. What used to take me a couple of hours now takes me most of the day.

Extra money for grandsons
September 6, 2018

This site allows me to buy the things my grandsons need, helped to buy school clothes this year, I have noticed this past year though that quite a few of the surveys you complete at the end page it states " you did not qualify" totally unfair to get the answers they are looking for and not cough up the paltry SB's. Or the 4000 SB's to try a product, you complete the surveys they send and they stiff you for the SB's and close the email so you can't complain.
Thanks Keurig for stiffing me the 4000 and leaving me with a defective machine, I guess that was my prize. Or surprise LOL

No reason not to give Swagbucks a try! There are ways to earn money simply by shopping for stuff you were going to buy anyways, and other ways like surveys, videos etc. This site is very versatile to fit your busy schedule and needs.

Love earning free gift cards and PayPal cash! Tons of options. The apps are useful too! Surveys are my thing. But the discovery offers are the high paying!

Plus, its fun!

Super good
September 6, 2018

I think that it is very good and it is real so you can actually get real money from it by just doing survey so in really recommend it for people especially kids because now you could make your own money online

I love Swagbucks, but...
September 6, 2018

I still love Swagbucks but it seems our earning opportunities have been cut way back. I tell friends and family about the site but it's so hard to get most things to credit (most of my people use their phones as their main earning source) so my referrals don't even bother anymore. I have 3 people at work that want to join but I know they will get discouraged and quit so I tell them to wait until things pick up but it never does. It gets worse... and Swagbucks communication is horrible. I wish there was some organization and communication within their site but hopefully one of these days... Oh also I don't do any offers where I have to spend my own money because I'm afraid things won't credit. Also customer service acts like I'm lying when you turn in a ticket, so I usually don't bother even though some people get credit right away.

I love swagbucks
September 6, 2018

I have been doing Swagbucks since 2014 and just love it. The gift cards never expire. I use them mostly for presents for my family throughout the year.

I really like swagbucks and they are responsive to issues. They need a little push at being better, hence the four not five stars. But they are close and well worth the effort right now.

It's really good for getting money back on purchases you already make online. But as far as everything else it slowly gets worse. I use to use the searching and watch videos but now they are more of an inconvenience. The daily games kind of help but you honestly would waste points trying to stay in the game.

Tedious
September 6, 2018

I've been earning through swagbucks for 4 or 5 years now. It has gotten significantly more tedious to earn. I used to easily be able to earn $90 in giftcards a month. Now I struggle to earn $25. Search rewards have gone down as have survey rewards. It is also much more difficult to qualify for a survey. Video rewards have gone down and watching them bog up your computer. I don't recommend SBs as nearly as often as I use to.

Although you get very little for what you do... there is payment for viewing videos, doing surveys, and shopping. It is better to get a kickback than nothing at all. To me this is entertainment that I do not pay. Worthwhile.
