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 making pennies!
January 30, 2020

I read lots of reviews about how swagbucks is not worth it and it doesn't pay anything, but they don't have to give you anything, if you know what your doing, and patient, you can make more than 10 bucks a day! From offers to surveys and the rev u double penny surveys are awesome! Totally recommend giving Swagbucks a shot!

I like Swagbucks, because I already do a lot of my shopping online. By doing it through Swagbucks, I get credit for my shopping that I cash in for gift cards for more shopping. It's a nice reward. I also earn extra points playing fun trivia games, answering surveys, etc. It's pretty easy, and I've earned a pretty good amount of gift card $!

Swagbucks review
January 27, 2020

I enjoy doing the surveys, even though I don't always qualify to complete many of them. I sure wish I could do more, but it isn't always possible.

Good in class but recently they are terminating users without any reason, that's why I'm also awaiting to see what happen with me next. Hope they continue their good services.

Aint what she used to be
January 26, 2020

I have been doing Swagbucks for at least five years. I have found that it is much more difficult than it was when I started. I mostly do the surveys and get eliminated from many because I am too old for their target group. It is very frustrating to get most of the way through a survey and then be disqualified. Sometimes they do give you a point or two for trying. But I keep on trucking and still manage to earn gift cards, even though it is much harder than it used to be.

Screening surveys
January 26, 2020

I love using Swagbucks rather casually. It is not my favorite survey website ONLY because I feel like I do not qualify for so many surveys I attempt to complete. I wish that the surveys presented to me were screened better, as I have answered plenty of "about me" questions. Also, 2/5 times I get through most of the survey and, even though you are supposed to receive a small amount of points, none are awarded at all or there is a glitch and the survey freezes after 30 minutes. Otherwise, I am a long time Swagbucks user and I do not see that changing.

I use a couple money maker sites when I shop online, but Swagbucks provides more non-shopping activities to help accumulate gift cards more often.

It's okay...
January 25, 2020

It takes so long to get any points, and then half the time you're submitting a ticket for what you did complete. Most of this needs to be done on a desktop, the mobile is a joke.

Everyone can always use a little extra bucks and thanks to Swagbucks it has made several possibilities. So far, I have been able to save money for gifts and to pay bills! It helps to be consistent with it, I mostly depend on videos and try to complete one survey a day if possible.
