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 absolutely LOVE Swagbucks! There are so many wonderful deals with products I already use or places I already shop at, now I get money back from doing what I already was. Ive also been introduced to some fantastic products and opportunities as well. It does take much time at all, I am a full time mommy, secondary teacher, and grad student, anyone can do it!

Great for earning gift cards. Takes alot of time and patience. Start at least 10 surveys and waste around 30 to 45 min before I actually qualify for 1. Wish the pay out was higher per survey. Might actually make my time worth it. There are worse sure though.

Actually pays
April 23, 2018

I'm satisfied with this company. Is one of the few that actually pays the only draw back is the high rate of disqualification from surveys but that varied based on your geographics and demographics.

Earn gift cards
April 23, 2018

I love SB and earning free gift cards. My only complaint would be that sometimes certain elements of the website don't always work and the surveys do not always reward you

Ive dabbled in surveys and coupon programs for years. Its nice to actually get something for giving valuable time and information. Other programs make it very difficult to achieve anything worth it, and just leaves one feeling frustrated and stupid! The only negative comment i have, is the crashing of a survey after putting in 15-20 minutes, and not receiving awards.

Swagbucks is a quick easy and fun way to earn money. I truly love it. It fills time for me when I am bored. It is really something I can fall back on.

I was involved with Swagbucks several years ago, moved on, and forgot all about it. I was bored, and while looking for something for Xmas, my search lead me back to Swagbucks. I found it is reliable, does not take much time out of my day, and it has definitely steered me back in the direction of things I had forgotten to consider. Any negatives I find in the partners links etc. are no greater in occurance I experienced several years ago. The fail and glitch rate are about the same. All my interactions have been handled in a fair if not, prompt amount of time.

It's legit
April 22, 2018

It's a good way to get money as a 15 year old, I'm not old enough for a job but I can get gift cards through this. The annoying thing is once I got 900 SB from a survey and I did not receive it, I contacted support and they refused to give me my points, I had wasted my time. Also I get kicked out of a lot of surveys but in general I'm enjoying the opportunity

I like the site. Wish some of the surveys paid more. Would pay off a lot more if I shopped online more. Will definitely keep it around for Christmas time.

At first it was okay, since SB using peanut labs got bad, so I slowed down on visiting the site. We more surveys.

It's not terribly hard to earn rewards, but you do have to be willing to do a lot of work for it. Lots of watching videos, if you find that you're not able to do many surveys. It's better for you if you already have money to spare in the swag shop, then it's a good way to get some extra bang for your buck.
