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 like Swagbucks
August 11, 2017

Their surveys are easy to do and when you accumulate enough points you get to see the rewards. I don't log on as much but all in all I like what this website offers.

Starbucks is a great site for earning rewards. Playing games reading articles. Watching videos and searching the web. Just a few of the many ways to earn swagbucks which can be turned into cash or gift cards. Love it

You have to watch tons of videos to get such a small compensation. Don't get me wrong. The videos are interesting and full of info, but you get such a small reward for watching up to 20, and some times long, videos for such a small reward. And every time I try taking a survey, I am never a fit for the job. SBs is just ok. :(

Swagbucks is a great way to make some cash in the side, especially for people who are already on their phones.

Swagbucks Review
August 11, 2017

I am a bit upset with Swagbucks because they dropped the all on giving me 1000 swagbucks credit for a purchase that I made. I followed all the instructions on a purchase from Links of London and never received credit.

I love the site, but many offers that purportedly offer samples are simply looking to get your information.

You can participate as actively or passively as you want. Shop, watch videos, complete surveys, play games -- and actively get points. Make it your default search engine, and be credited points on a frequent but surprise basis as you search.

Awesome

I like Swagbucks. I like doing their surveys to earn gift cards or Swagbucks. Their surveys are easy to do, answer daily polls, do web searches to earn points and so many fun contests to enter to earn free gift cards and swagbucks.

I will be using the internet to search anyway and now I can earn rewards for doing things I am already doing. Give Swagbucks a try if you haven't done so already.

I like Swagbucks! There are so many ways to earn rewards, and they add up really quickly. I find myself going there at least once a day, and sometimes more!

Earn extra cash

Swagbucks is great to do in your free time to make extra money. Watch videos, take surveys, and get paid to shop all while your cleaning cooking or doing laundry.

Free money made easy
August 8, 2017

Swagbucks is simple, easy to use, and offers several rewards.The surveys are often lengthy and qualifying for them is a pain, but in the end it is not a bad site to use the Special offers are just about the only quick way to earn points though and i wish that would change. Not everyone has money to spend on things like that

Swagers is the best
August 7, 2017

I really enjoy earning swag bucks it helps me out when the holidays and/or special occasions pop up. I will say lately I have been ordering a lot online and, making sure to activate my order with swag bucks but several of them are not crediting and or counting towards a shop points. I would say that is the only thing lately that is bothersome and frustrating as I have been making it a point to use swag to get extra $ on purchases online.

Legit
August 7, 2017

I'm always skeptical of sites like these but Swagbucks is fully legit. I took surveys, did Swago, redeemed codes, played videos in the back, etc. and racked up for a $25 PayPal gift card. I choose the gift card and it took 4 days to be deposited to my PayPal and there was no fee. The only complaint I have about the site is that the surveys sometimes say "20 min" and end up taking an hour. Also it can sometimes be difficult to qualify and you will be taking a survey and then 10 min in it will say "unfortunately you don't qualify" or "survey filled" and you will either be rewarded 1 swagbuck(or $0.01) Or you will redirect you to another survey through the 3rd party website and you won't be rewarded until you successfully complete a survey(usually takes about 3). I'd say use the website at your own risk and be careful about entering super personal information. Through surveys I would say it usually ask for name, birthday, annual income, marriage status, ages of family memebers, job industry, etc. LAST TIP: IF YOU ANSWER DIFFRENT ANSWERS THROUGH SURVEYS YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED AND WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO TAKE SURVEYS- this happened to me(I'm not quite sure why) so I emailed the company and they opened them back up for me. Now I'm definitely more aware of the answers I submit.
