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.

Swagbucks is cool
July 30, 2017

Swagbucks is cool, fun I enjoy completing surveys, but is does take too long to earn, The surveys need to be better, it will say 10mins but actually much longer and if you spend 20 mins on a survey they should just give you 3SB for wasting your time, if your disqualified or it goes over the said time.

Swagbucks is user friendly. I enjoy using it. I wish there were more ways to earn though. I can only seem to make about 40 bucks a month and I'd like to be making much more. Overall a wonderful experience.

So easy to make extra money even if it is just

Okay
July 30, 2017

I've been a long time user and like swagbucks well enough for the most part but get frustrated when I spend my time on tasks that don't credit and used to get much more resolution than I do now.

I've tried all the sites and never got anywhere until Swagbucks. I casually swag just when I want extra cash for things I can't usually afford and in 2 years I've easily made over $500. Just don't give up til you get the hang of it.

Overall I'm happy with the site, but I have the following legitimate complaints: I completed the Neverwinter offer for 300SB, but never received my SB. I wish I had known that my SB Local offer on the Swago card wouldn't reimburse in time, but I didn't see the little "i" with the guidelines until middle of the week -- even though I searched the SB Local app for any pitfalls I should be aware of (none found). One of my referrals has been making SB on valid offers that I should be making a percentage of for over a week now, but I've ONLY EARNED 1SB through them -- Is there a delay? I can't find info on this in the FAQ/help section! I can't even submit help desk tickets because apparently my email address has been suspended from submitting help tickets. And lastly, you post surveys that suggest times that (regardless of the possible lucky responses or survey hacks) are impossible to achieve!

It is extremely easy to earn cash doing what I usually do anyway. From searching for my usual questions, to doing surveys, random offers, and even surveys, it's extremely easy to earn.

There are so many ways to make a decent amount of change add up. The biggest being spend money to make money, honestly. When it's within your regular buying needs it's a nice bonus. Some of the SB deals, such as Dollar Shave Club worked out very well for me. Videos & Daily Crave do have some cool stuff, although I prefer the mobile for the movie trailers. A few of the app a day items are pretty awful, so I can't recommend those. Mobile game apps can be worth it if you are willing to play a few levels.The Gold surveys can be very time consuming & the estimated time is not accurate. Be prepared to get well into the survey process and not finish because they've reached the limit. Peanut Lab surveys are usually good though. Swag codes, email SB, Sb for web searches can add up nicely. The redeeming process takes a few steps, but it's not bad considering you can opt for PayPal and other useful payouts. I've had a pretty good experience so far, especially considered the other types of sites I've looked into.

I love swagbucks. I enjoy the gift card rewards very much! I do get frustrated because I don't qualify for many of the surveys. I really wish only the ones I qualify for would be offered to me. Thanks for the opportunity to earn gift cards!
