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 love Swagbucks
March 14, 2020

I have tried using other rewards programs over the years but none of them are like Swagbucks. Sometimes I get frustrated with the surveys, especially after taking one for 15 minutes only to be told that I don't qualify... but other than that it is very easy to earn points and redeem them. When I redeem my points I usually get my prize within 3-4 days. Never have an issue! I refer Swagbucks to anyone who will listen.

I like Swagbucks so far they have enough surveys for me to answer and they give the rewards they promise in a timely fashion.

I am new to Swagbucks and love the little daily poll's. Only when my store receipts are short do they ever actually upload even though I add multiple segments. Not very user friendly but I have been able to receive a $3 Amazon gift card.

I have used Swagbucks for several years now and I like it. Easy to use. Works great and helps me put a little spending money in my pocket. Sometimes I don't get the SB I thought I should, but that is not the norm. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes you get way into a survey before being kicked off. I think there should be a limited number of questions they can ask before they kick you off.

All you have to do it's fill in surveys and earn a certain amount of points to get gift cards. Some surveys do take a bit of time but in the end it's worth it.

I have been a Swagbucks user for many years now. I very much enjoy using it as a search engine, shopping discount site, and survey site! I have earned sb towards gift cards and shopping experiences. I also enjoy their apps that are connected to the site.

I've been on Swagbucks for several years. You do have to be careful about the various points offers and read the requirements and use common sense. The surveys are variable, but worth trying to do at least a few each day. Most of the time you will start a survey or get partway through and then get a message that you don't qualify. But you will qualify and be able to complete a survey often enough that the effort is worth it. Swagbucks carries a huge variety of well-known stores in their online shopping list, and I try to shop through Swagbucks when I can to earn points. I've never had a problem. Points don't credit instantly, but you do get an email confirming the number of points you've earned, and you'll see the points added in a week or two. The newer feature is the in-store purchase offers, and I have done several of those. Be sure you purchase from one of the required stores, and I have learned that I need to buy from a store that prints receipts with the UPCs on them. I take a photo of the receipt with my camera, but I need to then resize the image downward (I use Pixresizer), or Swagbucks doesn't recognize the submission. Redeeming points is fast and easy, and the points cost of gift cards is fair. I just turned in points for a Lowe's printable $25 gift card, confirmed my purchase through the email sent to me, and a few hours later I had the link to the card in my in-box. I could either print the gift card or use the code to shop online. I choose to print so I have a record of the gift card, and then I can either use it online or use it in-store. I've never had a problem using a gift card earned through Swagbucks.

There's nothing like it anywhere else. Swagbucks is the only website that works and adds more points than other providers. I'm a new user and already redeemed 2 $10 Amazon gift cards in 2 days. You just need to put in your info and keep checking your email for details on your card. It's as easy as 123!

Swagbucks is one of those things that you need to look at as an aggregate. You will be surprised how much you earn over time, and can redeem for free gift cards. Plus you can earn them as you do something else if you are a multi-tasker. Great source of Christmas gift money.

I did not believe that it was a legitimate site and I am very pleased to find out that it is. Sure, there are some hiccups from time to time but I can easily make an extra $100 per month. I am very happy that I found Swagbucks
