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 way to make extra money while watching tv. Can choose Amazon gift cards or others. Stock pile gift cards to purchase Christmas gifts. Beats just staring at tv

If you are persistent you can earn bucks for purchase discounts. I have even paid swagbucks on my cable bill! My only frustration is getting so far into a survey and being kicked out and receiving 1 point. I am older, single and retired which makes it harder to find surveys. It is still worthwhile.

No what it had been

Before the current owner Swagbucks was a solid 5 stars, but when you own the point game you can jack up what it takes to earn enough points for rewards. Expect more labor and less earnings will follow on both their sites. Sad panda

Almost every time i use swagbucks to order an item, subscribe to a service, complete an offer or gold survey it seems I have to contact customer service to get my swagbucks. I have referred many friends and family but trying to explain that process to them leaves a sour taste in their mouth and they never use swagbucks.

I love Swagbucks! It's fun and easy to take surveys. I've always been one to give my opinions whether requested or not so I might as well be rewarded!

I find it a fun and easy way to make money. Esp while just sitting around playing on the phone. I also actually enjoy doing the surveys and answering the questions...

I found myself spending my free time window shopping on the internet without having the funds to purchase the items, until I discovered Swagbucks, so I put that time and energy into earning points that I could use to purchase gift cards to be able to buy the items I've been pining over while at the same time having my voice heard. It's a win win situation.

Great!
August 9, 2018

So I am always second guessing the apps that say they will pay you in any way, but this one has worked very well so far and I got my first reward! They seem to have some hiccups with the surveys I did a few and got nothing but I emailed them and they seem to be working on it(I will update later if they do) the pay is low for the surveys if you ask me but I always think my time is worth more haha. The videos are interesting and cover a broad variety of areas and I can get some of my (slightly outdated) national news from the apps. Overall I would say they are great!

Swagbucks Awesome
August 8, 2018

I get a gift card faster the more I use swagbucks, by doing tasks, and surveys, searching. The thing I have to wait 5 days to get reward but that's ok with me as long as I get the reward. Does take longer to earn the bucks and videos are only 2 sb which I think should be worth more but beggers can't be choosers. It's great knowing I'm using my time wisely and rewards are great, in many different cashout thresholds.

What's not to love about free money. I don't use it often but occasionally will do surveys, watch videos, play the trivia and I get my 25$ gift card when it's needed.
