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 been using SwagBucks for years and have redeemed several gift cards. There are lots of ways to earn swagbucks. It's fun.

It's the best opinion/survey website I have found yet, and I've tried a LOT.
There is a great variety of tasks, so that it does not become monotonous to earn. I also feel the surveys are much more pre-screened leading to much less "kick-outs" than other websites of it's nature.

OK but needs improvement
September 5, 2017

I enjoy earning points, but surveys here frustrate me to no end. Especially when the qualifying questions are the same as the survey questions and you get 7/8 of the survey complete and it says you don't qualify.

Also, More of what is available on desktop sites should be available on mobile sites.

I love Swagbucks!
September 5, 2017

Swagbucks is legit-- the surveys are fun and easy, and I earned enough points to redeem for a $25 gift card. I chose Land's End because my child's school uniform is through LE, and I ordered a new shirt for him and still had a little left over. So awesome, and I'm now on my way to my second gift card this month! If you shop online, you can rack up even more points without doing anything extra.

I've been a member of Swagbucks for just over a year now. Though I have made some money through the cash-back features from shopping, most of the earnings have come from survey's, video's, and others. It's a great place to earn some extra cash, while also enjoying the company of an amazing Facebook group/community. I've earned just under $800 in my short time of being a member. The longest I have ever waited for my payout is two days. I've only ever cashed out using the PAYPAL option, but I'm sure they are just as quick for giftcards. This is why Swagbucks is (and continues) to be my favorite place to earn money. Nowadays, members are even earning with the Swagbucks trivia app (I've yet to try!).

Easy

It's an easy way to make money, certain things I'm not particularly a fan of simply because I don't get rewarded properly

Easy way to earn money doing various tasks, some of which you might have already planned on doing, such as through shopping.

Easy to do. Worth it.
September 4, 2017

I have done a number of surveys on Swagbucks and I have earned enough to help me get a new tablet. Problem is people expect to get a Gift Card with every single survey, but, surveys do not work that way. The company behind the surveys are usually looking for a specific type of person as well as a certain Demographic and if you do not meet their criteria well, then you are not a match. That is not Swagbucks fault.

The best way to make money on Swagbucks is to buy the stuff you'd buy anyway through their site. You can buy stuff, get cash back and your items will be waiting for you at the store.
The drawback to the site is spending time filling out surveys only to find that you don't qualify.
I like the daily question on Swagbucks, it's a lot of fun.

I like redeeming my swagbucks for gift cards. I use them to help cover grocery expenses, give a treat to my daughter and help cover miscellaneous gifts.

It works.
September 4, 2017

I started using this on a regular basis and was earning quite well for awhile. It was hard to cash out with my rewards because high numbers were needed. I now see that I can redeem with lower numbers and will start it up again.

Awesome way to earn extra money but SB don't always credit which is a bummer. I wish more surveys were available and I feel videos should be worth more
