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 love to get free money, which I view Swagbucks as free money. I have used it to buy groceries, clothes, and restaurant gift cards (great food and beer). Can't beat that. :)

I love, love love Swagbucks. You can earn more bucks for shopping via gift cards! This is one of the few companies that does not require you to spend a ton of money just to earn very few Swagbucks. There are tons of ways to earn them for free!

Because of Swagbucks, I was able to get my 2 children's school supplies for less than $2.00. After paying for those supplies, I realized they had a couple of offers that I can use for my business and save money while doing so. Overall, I give this company 5 stars and definitely tell friends and family about it frequently.

Swagbucks is a high quality page where we have the possibility to claim our gift cards and that also has a great capacity to send surveys to our profiles and the one that is doing surveys can get a gift card in less than a week

I redeemed a visa card havent used it yet so not sure if it really works but it was easy to redeem. Wish I didnt have to wait as long to redeem the swagbucks from the purchases though. But overall a nice way to earn quick gift cards through taking surveys.

50/50 experience. Some offers credit instantly. Some late. Some you'll have to contact SB for when they never credit. Gift cards do come fast and points systems are easy enough to gain them quicker. If you have the patience, it works well.

Was sceptical at first but this site is legitimate and you really do receive money for taking surveys and completing free trials etc.

Interesting.
July 22, 2018

Overall I really love swagbucks. I especially enjoy the nightly trivia games. I never win but its fun. I enjoy using the search engine for shopping and help with the NYT crossword puzzle. Lol. I think the surveys are repetitive, cant you just stipulate my sex, DOB, etc? Also I had a lot of trouble redeeming my points for gift cards. It wanted to verify who I was, which is great, but it would only verify by text. I hadnt given you my phone number and there was nowhere to add it. So I submitted a help request. Or thought I had. Waited nearly two weeks, no answer. Tried again, quickly got an answer back saying no way to add number but if I emailed a pic of my drivers license with its number blacked out, that would work. Are you kidding me? When I questioned the safety, and frankly, sanity of that, I get an email back saying I had already verified and to request the gift cards again. I did and it worked fine. A little work with that I feel is in order. I do several things online like yours, but so far you are my favorite. Its the most fun and interesting. One other thing - the trivia game. Start on time and please tell the hosts to tone it down a few notches. There is happy and enthusiastic and then there is manic. They are skirting the edge.
