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.

I have been with Swagbucks many years and use it daily. I am a low income senior citizen who is retired. Swagbucks keeps me busy while I earn some gift cards to supplement my social security.

I spend just a few moments per day on Swagbucks and am able to earn around $25 per month in gift cards.

I am a stay at home mom and whenever I have a little down time I take surveys. It does take awhile to earn enough swagbucks to buy a giftcard but I have just redeemed my second and it has really been awesome!

Very good so far
September 6, 2018

I like the process so far. And so far it's been working. I got my gift card and the idea of taking surveys to win free cash is good. So I have no complaints. I'm really glad so far.

Could be better
September 6, 2018

I end up doing activities or surveys that ultimately become a waste of time because I won't get the credit. Swagbucks support has always been good about correcting them when I issue a ticket. But its not worth it to have to contact them, wait, provide proof every time. Defeats the purpose!

Swagbucks is Amazing!
September 6, 2018

Swagbucks is so fun and easy to use and if you link your credit cards and use it when you shop online, you rack up points so fast! I've already gotten $100 in free gift cards and plan to use it enough to get at least a $25 free gift card each month. Once in awhile I find the links to get Swagbucks if you sign up for something or take a survey don't always work and my account sometimes is not credited, but for the most part it works great.

As a long time member of this great rewards site, I was pleased to find out about some recent additions. If you look on the left side bar once you log in, there is now a tab to outright buy Swag bucks, without having to watch, shop, discover, search, or do anything. You can buy 200,500, or 1,000 Swag bucks. This is a huge benefit, in my opinion. Previously I had said that watching videos wasn't the best way to get points, but I have found if the device you are using has very high speed internet, you can watch 20 videos rather quickly. Lastly, if you only have a small daily goal, it's much easier to reach that goal without having to pay a lot of money for shop, or spend endless hours waiting for Swag codes or your 30th search just to get a few points. So I have much love for Swag bucks after discovering these options.

I go to the earnings choices that are concrete, and easily defined, and quick. That would be one time shopping at a reputable company website, playing the free games, answering the poll question daily, search, and using Swag Codes. You are more than welcome to do other choices, but you will be disappointed and frustrated. The surveys, Special Offers, Discover, Encrave, and watching videos won't get you very far as earnings go, and it takes too long to get a tiny bit of points., if you even get any at all. Depending on how much you shop and search, it could take months to reach the $25 gift card level. So sorry, people, you can't quit your job to make money here, it just won't happen that way. However, if you have some extra time in your day, you can get rewarded in a small way. I end up getting about 3 or 4 $25 gift cards per year.

Good website
September 5, 2018

Swagbucks is a good website for earning gift cards. In the last few years they have increased the number of activities required to earn swagbucks; for instance, it used to be watch 10 videos to earn 3 swagbucks. Now it's much, much higher with less payout. Still, free gift cards. :)

Good but issues
September 6, 2018

I like it, but it is very annoying when you get kicked out late. It's time consuming and not benifitatial. Also videos give almost no reward for the time it takes

I appreciate that I get free gift cards, but man, it's a chore sometimes. I rarely qualify for surveys and usually go through the whole damn survey before getting eliminated. Watch is a nightmare this past month. I totally appreciate the idea but sometimes I wonder if it's worth the time and effort. And the malware is an increasing problem!

I would enjoy Swagbucks more if I could take all the surveys. Quite a few months ago I was unable to take any surveys except Peanuts. I contacted you twice and never received an answer.
