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 have never had a problem with Swagbucks. You can be an active or a passive earning user. I would be able to recommend this to other people that I know. I wish more offers were made that got you...

Easy!
March 30, 2018

I have never had a problem with Swagbucks. You can be an active or a passive earning user. I was super active with it a few years back and I paid for most of my Christmas gifts by turning my rewards into Amazon gift cards.

This company has a okish customer service branch and they will try to ignore you at first. Still believe some peoples' accounts get disabled for no reason based on who I have spoken too. However, I have been credited for both Hulu and Dollar Shave Club as of now. I just wish they would make an automated system showing that someone has looked at your ticket or has even tried to start investigating. Also, some of these discovers are worthless to try completing. As in they won't give you credit until you jump through a hoop of fire and it still might not credit. I suggest just doing surveys and random free trails, because the tracking system seems to be a 30/70 of you not being tracked (Acorn has a great tracking code). The customer service and tracking system really needs some kind of a upgrade.

I mostly do the surveys. Considering growing up I felt like I never had a say in how programs were run or why things were a certain way the surveys make me feel like I have an input on how products might be advertised, or presented. And Im getting paid for my opinion.

Save free money
March 30, 2018

This is the perfect way to save money for a specific purchase. It can take a lot of effort to get points if you're not using Swagbucks Local or online shopping. However, free is free and if you have the time to save up, why not? I've used it to purchase my centerpieces for my wedding, birthday party supplies, house decor, and other stuff. I love when I'm able to buy something with no money out of my pocket.

Surveys and money!
March 30, 2018

I love being able to take surveys in order to earn gift cards. My only issue is being screened for so many surveys and not being "qualified". But, it pays off if you push through

Love earning SBs for GCs and the swags boards are my favorite. I don't care too much for the survey as I don't get many opportunities to get SBs from these.

I enjoy swagbucks. When kids go to bed, it becomes my fun time. I love earning rewards to use on me. I do earn points slowly, however I do not get to spend much time on it.If you put some effort in to it, you can earn alot more points.
