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.

Time consuming
April 25, 2018

It used to be a lot easier to earn points. Now they make it so hard to earn enough to redeem points. I have also completed a lot of surveys that are really time consuming and then don't get the points for them.

Swagbucks is okay
April 25, 2018

I use Swagbucks at least once a week. I find taking the surveys time-consuming. I can do them while I am watching TV most of the time, though. It is nice to get some extra $$$ now and again. I see lots of complaints about how long it takes to get your gift card. I presume it is younger folks complaining who want their reward instantly. I don't have a problem waiting for a few days... like the good old days... had to wait for your rebate to come in the mail. Now it takes about 3 or 4 days instead of 8 weeks... LOL.

I love swagbucks
April 25, 2018

You spend some time and you get gift cards for free. You have some fun doing surveys and get cash back on your purchases at your favorite store's. I'm averaging $10 a month. Love it.

Worth your time
April 25, 2018

Swagbucks certainly isn't perfect--the surveys could really be optimized to be more convenient for the user, and the Watch section works very poorly, taking incredibly long times just to load up ads or videos that are often only 1-3 minutes long. Still, there are lots of way to earn small amount of Swagbucks that add up over time, and I have little to no difficulty regarding receiving gift cards over time.

Ok if you shop
April 25, 2018

I don't earn through surverys because I never seem to qualify. I only have so much time in a day to spend trying to qualify. I don't have enough time to do video watching. So I earn mostly through shopping.

I was skeptical at first but I made $25 and now I'm almost up to another $50 in 2 months. It's not going to pay your bills but does make extra money

Starbucks
April 25, 2018

I use this to get my Starbucks GCs so I dont pay full price! It might take some time but I let it run while I watch TV and it adds up on its own!

Amazing, spend some time a day and get some good money back. No need to be there all day or all the time just maybe an hour a day and maybe do some offers and you'll be on your way.
