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've been using swag bucks for probably over a year now. Ive definitely benefited from the service and am still using it weekly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get some benefits or incentives from shopping online.

I have been using SwagBucks for several years now and use it every day in some way. I try to meet my daily goals each day. They are there in CS to help you when issues arise as sometimes happens (like everywhere). Give it a try, what have you got to lose? You might find it worth your time like me.

Swagbucks is Awesome!
December 10, 2020

Everything About swagbucks is Great!
I also regularly use the Swagbucks search to type in the name of a site that I already know, just to get Swagbucks. It takes a couple of extra seconds, but it's worth it.

I like Swagbucks and visit it every day for at least 1 hour each day. I enter sweepstakes, do lots of surveys, get coupons, and check out other things on the site that is of interest. There is plenty to look at.

Extra money!

I have been a member of Swagbucks for several years. It is easy to use, offers many opportunities to obtain Swagbucks, and has helped every holiday season. Like a cash cushion.

Great for gift cards!
December 7, 2020

I use Swagbucks often to earn gift cards in my spare time. There are usually lots of surveys to try, but the weekends can be kind of slim pickings.

Its pretty good but
December 7, 2020

I do like the site and i have received a $10 gift card but getting to that was difficult, not very easy to get good surveys as you would have to have a job and a vehicle. The questions they give don't always go perfect and would say you don't qualify, it does get annoying but it is possible.

Swag Bucks Ripoff Scam
December 5, 2020

My son had an account with SwagBucks.com for over a year with no "violations" from participation in their offers. He always made sure to follow the guidelines so as not to be banned from any activity that looked fraudulent.
But as the number of victims grows, it looks like Swagbucks.com certainly knows how to be fraudulent.

Black Friday Weekend sweepstakes they gave lots of offers - seeing they promote themselves as "The Web's Premier Destination for Free Rewards" - and with those offers you purchase items and receive SB credits that can be turned into cards or cash or other means.
The Sweepstakes, in collaboration with a third party named REVu, offered an incentive prize if you spent enough on offers thus earned enough SB.
My son spent roughly $1000 in purchases for the many offers that weekend - some products, some services, some actual gamer games to participate in. Swagbucks.com blocked/deactivated his account right as he achieved the top 5 making him eligible for the sweepstakes prize and plenty of accrued SB credits.

They gave no explanation for the "violation" and stated he would not have access to any of the SB earned or the sweepstakes grand prize. This makes them a scam luring people in as "The Web's Premier Destination for Free Rewards" to make purchases in order to gain cash back (SB credits) then switching on the participants to deny them any of what was promoted/gained.
Contesting their action to lock his account and deny him lands on deaf ears - no arbitration - no explaination - no opportunity to discuss or defend.

Does the job as far as making offers and paying out ok. Apps and other discover things are better than surveys
