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.

You get a lot of points when involved in things you have to spend money for, but the other things you can do for points does not pay off good at all.

Ehhh. Could be more prompt. Very slow customer service. Sometimes, or more like many times I don't ever receive credits for the offers and surveys I've completed

I have received some great deals through businesses that i use and benefit from and swagbucks has paid me cash to purchase them. If i had more time in the day i could earn more by doing surveys

The basic principle of any company is to make money. Swagpennies makes money off of you by presenting tons of ads. Defend yourself with adblock. It will save you time and ensure that you aren't taken advantage of.

Always play smart. You can use a special email for the purpose of surveys and other stuff on Swagpennies. Never let your personal email become bombarded with spam and virus mail.

Also make a fake identity that you can willingly use on surveys. Unless if you don't care, don't let marketers get a hold of your real identity and location.

You don't have to keep the Swagpennies addon, just remove it after you install it. Easy 50 Swagpennies.

Don't waste your time by watching videos. The rewards are idiotic.

Act like an opportunistic thief. Snatch any offers you can find. If you don't get rewarded, then move on.

In less than a day, I managed to accumulate a not so whopping 300 Swagpennies.

I've been going Swagbucks for several months. I usually do something at least once a day. I just wish the pay off was better. It takes a long time to build up to any reward worthwhile. Over half the surveys don't work and kick you out after you've already spent time starting them. That needs to be addressed. I prefer a couple other sites, but SB is still better than nothing and something to do to kill some time and get some gift cards.

Good site to earn
July 4, 2018

I like Swagbucks because I am not bombarded with emails or false promises. I have the option of when to go to the site and how to earn Swagbucks. It is easy to navigate and easy to earn points in a variety of ways.

Swagbucks offers the opportunity to earn a little extra each month. Don't think of it as a big opportunity but as a fairly easy way to pick up a little. We use our gift card payments as a means of reducing the price of what we'd normally pay. For that purpose, it meets our needs.

Easy to use, easy to earn, and lots of options to redeem your points. I use the site while having my morning coffee, earning point as I'm gearing up to start my day. Extra gift cards for stocking stuffers... Win win!

I recommend it, but the polls are very long. The should offer shorter surveys to make time more productive.

I have gotten 4 gift cards from this site and am on my way to getting a fifth. Though it takes a lot of time and effort, it's really worth the free stuff!

Great Money Maker
July 4, 2018

I am disabled and had been looking for a way to help my poor financial situation. Swagbucks is the answer. I am only able to work about 6 hours a day, but in those six hours I make at least $3. If you multiple that times five days since I don't work on weekends, then I make at least $15 a week which means I usually can make somewhere between $60 and $70 a month. This pays for a bag of groceries for me, so I am more then ecstatic that I found Swagbucks.

Great app
July 4, 2018

Was thrilled on how fast I was able to earn $50. This is a great app to earn a little extra money. Also, great that you earn money if you're shopping online their website. The survey's are a little time consuming but it's worth it in the end.
