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.

Good experience
August 12, 2018

I like taking the survey and getting the rewards. If you have times on your hands this a good way to use it and be rewarded for your time. The surveys that I have taking are good ones so far. I have received my first card without any problem, thank you for sending it on time. It does take patience to take the surveys, but it is worth your time for the extra cash.

Use it everyday
August 12, 2018

I use Swagbucks everyday. Sometimes I only go take the daily survey for one point but I always log on. I love it.

So far I've probably earned several hundred dollars worth of Swagbucks that I have redeemed for Amazon gift cards. I just got another $40 in Amazon gift cards yesterday. Most of mine are shop and earn rewards, though I've earned a little watching videos and doing surveys. I'm not sure if I've actually completed any surveys, as I seem to be ineligible for those that I've tried. Those usually give 1 or 2 SB as a consolation prize of sorts. It all adds up.

At the beginning, I could earn more, but lately it is a lot of work and viewing of a lot of videos to earn Swagbucks. I still like it, and Swagbucks has been very good at verifying when Help is required. But still, you have to do more to get less Swagbucks.

I made 25 bucks which went to PayPal. I also went to world winner via Swagbucks. I made a cash deposit to worldwinner but did not click the promotion tab first so I did not get the 1500 SB I was supposed to and now it's too late because it was for a first-time deposit which I have now already done. Still, if you have the patience for the surveys you can make some extra cash.

Neat
August 10, 2018

I find it pretty useful and enjoyable, most of the surveys I answered were pretty fast and I received my gift card after 4 days prior to the 10 days I was told I had to wait

I like printing coupons from the Swagbucks site because I earn points for something I'd be doing regardless.

I'm enjoying Swagbucks
August 10, 2018

It's been fun, watching videos... I've just had surgery so what a great way to recover... watching videos and answering questions on surveys. I will continue even as I'm going about my busy schedule

An easy program where you can earn rewards for just my online shopping and doing surveys! Some rewards do take longer then expected but i have always been able to redeem them easily.

Some things we do to get swagbucks need higher swagbucks assigned to them. The daily poll for instance is only 1 swagbuck. That's pitiful. Then there's the videos... watch several for only a few swagbucks?! C'mon guys. It should be at least 1 per video. Get rid of the swagbutton or always have an alternative instead of just that. We have lives and they don't require us to carry a laptop everywhere.

I read a lot of complaints about Swagbucks on social media, and I guess there are frustrating things like if you don't get your points. But I haven't had trouble, except for having to update my Flash settings to watch videos. There are so many ways to earn gift cards which have helped me to buy some extras. I shop through Swagbucks, watch videos and use all the apps I can. I have earned SBs through dining at SB Local places, playing games, and taking surveys. When I got serious about it, I earned an average of $100 every 2-3 months. It may not seem like much, but if you're a home, or disabled, or a senior on limited income, this could be useful to you.
