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.

Swag bucks has been working out for me pretty well. It takes patience, but it's worth it! I definitely reconsider swag bucks to everyone.

I like it but you really have to take hours completing so many surveys and many of them says your unqualified for this survey after you answered many questions. I am happy with my gift card but I spend literally three weeks doing multiple surveys for so many hours sitting down and I ended up hurting my neck and back. But I still appreciate this website

Swagbucks

I like this website because it is simple to just go on every once in a while and earn points and then just get some extra money for it. It works, I have used it and gotten 2 gift cards which were valid. To earn extra points you can use this link to sign up. http://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=*******

I recently started using swagbucks about 2 weeks ago and I have already redeemed my first $25 gift card and i'm on the way to another one! The website is super simple to operate and you have a ton of options to choose from. I also like that this website offers you rewards on purchases you are already planning on buying. There is an abundance of useful information on the website as well. I am telling all of my family and friends about this site and plan on using it in the for the foreseeable future.

I work 3rd shift so I need something to keep me awake. The basic idea of this site is take surveys. Each survey you take is worth so many swag bucks that is kinda like real money but in the form of gift cards. Example: 5,000 swagbucks =$50 Gift Card. Each survey is looking for certain ages, family with kids, certain areas you live in that kinda thing. Some are fairly easy and quick 10-15 minutes others up to an hour. Depends on how hard you work at it to accumulate points. They have a lot of Brand name stores to choose from for the gift cards or you can get a Visa or MasterCard money card. I chose Walmart $50 Gift Card got a Keurig coffee maker only paid $9 which I thought was pretty good. You can shop online or an actual store. First they send a email then you confirm your account it will generate an instant code or send you a postcard via snail mail. Which takes about a week to get depending on where you live. I live in Kentucky it comes from The west coast so I got it in 3-5 days. Card arrived followed instructions code was sent to my email to give me the virtual gift card. Went to Walmart that same day used it, showed cashier she scanned my phone done. Patience is the key with this but, I know we live in an instant world now days but I think it's worth the time and effort to get it. Smartphone, tablet, laptop or regular desktop computer needed. Just a warning some surveys won't work on a Smartphone best to use other 3. Sorry this is long just wanted to give as much information as possible.

Easy to accumilate SB's however the 7day wait period to redeem rewards is a bit inconvenient but all gift cards have worked without any problems

Swagbucks truly is awesome. It's a way to get rewarded for what you're already buying and also finding great deals on things you didn't know you needed. I will say that I forget to use it a lot, but that is more on me and my bad memory than Swagbucks.

SWAGBUCKS RIP OFF
May 25, 2018

Just took another SWAGBUCKS surveys did not pay after completion. Spent 20 minutes rating wines for Sonoma and they summarily dismissed me at the end. This is not the only time that this has happened. The company's customer service sucks! Also, they change the verification process on a whim, making it impossible to get your gift card. They scam a lot--definitely wasting a lot of time on this Rip-off site!

Is a nice way to save money/ make a bit of extra money. It can become addicting and time-consuming though. Be careful.
