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.

Used to be good...
August 29, 2018

This used to be the best earning site around. Lately things are only getting worse and it is a gamble if you are going to get credit for what you do. Offers take forever to credit, if at all, and other offers don't work anymore. They could spend some time fixing what needs fixed instead of putting all their effort into SwagIQ.

If you don't have time to complete a lot of surveys, just do a few and play the sweepstakes to win gift cards.

I love Swagbucks but I do wish we had more offers that were easier to do and more video offers. Maybe one day.

Love the site but...
August 29, 2018

I love the site but there's many surveys that I've done and not gotten the point recently I did a cherry survey went out and bought the cherries took pictures give a review and was supposed to get 2300 Swagbucks and I have not gotten them and then I was told that I wasn't going to get them even though they told me I would receive them within 10 days and it's been well over 10 days so there are some things that could be fixed within the site that would make it even better but I am a loyal user of your site just wish I would get credit for the things that I've actually done thanks

Love My Swagbucks!
August 29, 2018

Swagbucks is amazing. I have been a member for two years. The first year I used SB we had just moved to a new city. I had no job - my surveys and rebates enabled me to give a very nice Christmas to my children. I am so grateful for that!

August 29, 2018

You can get cash back and save good money

Overall Really Good
August 29, 2018

My favorite survey taking app that pays out. I love it, and use it daily. The ONLY thing I'll say about what I don't like, is the way you receive rewards. Not only would I prefer a physical gift card in the mail over the eGift card way they do it, but it's annoying even though it's a digital gift card, you still have to wait a week to get the email to actually activate it. The one perk to an "electronic" gift card, is that I should be able to redeem my points, then immediately hop online and buy something with it. If I'm gonna wait around for a week, I'd prefer a physical card that I can use in more places.

I like swagbucks. The gift cards are great. It can take time to build up enough for a gift card. Just keep doing serveys and you will get there.

I think Swagbucks is good, but sometimes it takes too much to get points. I can't say how many times I have done a Discover, completed the requirements, and never received the points. Also, I am blocked from Gold Surveys due to inconsistent answers. Yet, very rarely did I get to the completion portion. Many surveys don't have an option that fits, so you are forced to pick the closest answer to what is right, or exit the survey. I understand that you get free Gift Cards, but you spend a lot of time doing the task, watching the videos, and taking the surveys, only to be told you don't qualify, or you are not being honest. So, you are spending time, and that is worth something. I don't spend as much time as I used to because it isn't as much fun as it used to be.

I love taking surveys to earn gift cards to all my favorite shopping and dining locations. I also like that I can earn Swagbucks for purchases I am already planning to make online to help earn gift cards faster.
