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 had for less than a month and already earned $50. A lot of points takes months to be credited so be patient I aim for 100 swag bucks a day doing surveys only. The videos lag to much.

I know what your thinking... cause I think the same thing whenever I sign up for one of these sites... there's no way someone is going to pay me real money just for answering some questions. But this is one of the few sites that I have found that really dose pay... weather its gift cards or a visa card that can be used anywhere. And answering surveys isn't the only way to earn Swagbucks, they have tons of different ways to earn and tons of different things to redeem them for. Truly one of the best sites out there.

They ended up banning me from doing surveys for some lame reason. I am signed up with MULTIPLE survey panels and have been for over a year, and I have NEVER been banned from surveys. So obviously I'm doing something right and SwagBucks did something wrong. They don't even tell you why they ban you. All I know is, I was being a BEAST making money with SwagBucks. Then they ban me out of the blue. Never been banned before. LOL. What a joke.

Entertaining
July 15, 2017

Swag bucks is a good way to kill time and earn a few bucks at my own pace. I use the gift cards for things I wouldn't normally buy just to try them out.

Fun extra income
July 15, 2017

Swagbucks offers an entertaining way for someone like me to pick up a little extra income in a convenient and interesting way. Spend a few minutes at the computer doing simple and often entertaining tasks, such as filling out surveys or watching videos and earn some extra pocket money or samples of products you would have to buy.

Sometime worth it
July 15, 2017

With some of the activities it is worth the time. The surveys mostly are not. They go through about 20 questions and the they say you do not qualify. The watching videos and using the search is a good way to earn points slowly

Best Site Ever
July 15, 2017

I have been on Swagbucks for almost two months now and I absolitely love it! I stay answering surveys or watching videos to earn SB every single day! There is no limit to how much you can earn here and so many different options to redeem your SB's! I just cashed out for a $25 Amazon gift card and it only took 3 business days to get in my inbox! I promise you won't be dissappointed! There is something for everyone here!

Nice Survey Page
July 15, 2017

Swagbucks is very legit, they offer many ways to redeem points. I put 4 stars because they take a little long to pay

The website is legit, but it takes longer than expected to earn points. Times listed are not true.

For example, you can watch a set of trailers/videos that is listed as "10 minutes", but that time doesn't include commercials, so it ends up being almost double the time.
Second example: the survey times are ridiculous. If you don't qualify for one survey, it strings you along and tries to find you another survey and on and on until the website decides there's no hope and you only get 1 point for all of that trouble.

The search function is easy, though. And using their website to earn points by shopping through affiliates is also easy (very similar to ebates).

So, if you have tons of free time and don't mind that the times listed aren't true, then it totally works. If you're like me and get easily frustrated over it, then Swagbucks is not for you.

Pretty Cool!
July 15, 2017

Some times takes a while to gather up all the points but it's been worth it in the long run, I have a $100 Master Card gift card and I'm working my way to a $50 Amazon! And I've only had the account for a few months!

Love It
July 15, 2017

I have only been using the site for a few weeks, but I have already redeemed a reward and I am half way to another. I love that you get rewards for doing things that you already do.

It was okay. Took me a very long time to earn the swagbucks. Sometimes they wouldn't load in, and it takes very long to build up a decent amount.
