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.

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.

Review of Swag Bucks
January 23, 2020

I think Swag Bucks is okay. Fairly easy to understand need more money to shop to earn more points and cash back incentives. Wanted more choices of stores for things listed I bought as in store purchases to scan the receipt.

I used to use this daily but haven't been as dedicated lately. It's a good way to earn free gift cards over time just for answering questions and surveys. Wish it was easier to earn points though. It's gotten harder over the years.

Easy Redemption Finally
January 23, 2020

There was a time where I was frustrated with Swagbucks, not anymore. They have made it easier to redeem your points as opposed to how they had it before, where you had to wait on a card to come to through the mail to confirm it was me trying to redeem them. Hold up what? Thanks Swagbucks for using the easier method of verifying through email!

Wish it was a little easier to get cash out Mounts. But it is a fun way to consume some time whenever you are bored.

It took me about a 3 days to get an actual reward! And I did not put that much time into the surveys in the 3 days. This is by far one of the best survey sites out there

Where are my Swagbucks
January 20, 2020

Swagbucks is an online survey company where you see the rewards sooner than later. Most company's rewards seem to be almost unobtainable but with Swagbucks you can see the rewards almost instantly. Swagbucks also provides many opportunities to obtain your rewards. They also make earning them fun and enjoyable. I'm glad I found Swagbucks!

Daily goal
January 20, 2020

I use Swagbucks everyday
I wish the daily goal was a lower amount as sometimes it is hard to reach it.

I love using swagbucks. I've made over $900 in about 2 years. It can be tedious with the surveys but I'm saving for Disney so it's worth it.

Unfair disqualifications
January 20, 2020

I get very frustrated when I spend a great deal of time on a survey, only to be disqualified close to the very end, and receive only one to no points for my time. That is time I could have been completing another survey for which I would qualify for.

Consistant
January 19, 2020

I have been trying differen survey companies for a while now and swagbucks has been the only one that i have found to be consistant. I dont make thousands but i have made over 600 during a 1 year period. There is the ocassional survey that fails and im not properly credited for but for the most part swagbucks team has resopnded to any issues i have had and they try to make it right. My best advise is be patient, it doesnt seem like a lot 50 cents here or there but it adds up. Be honest and consistant in your answers as well, dont try to lie ur way through it, thats what makes things harder for those of us who are genuinely intrested in taking surveys.

I started a couple of years ago and have earned quite a bit of GC and PayPal cash. It's great for stay at home moms or retirees, like me. I love it!

I use swagbucks to earn points so I can get Starbucks gift cards. I like Starbucks every once in awhile but hate how expensive it is. Thanks swagbucks for making me feel no longer guilty about going there!

Aggravating at times
January 19, 2020

I enjoy earning rewards From putting my opinion out there. I am honest when it comes to taking the surveys, but it sometimes gets aggravating when I'm continuously denied and awarded with one swagbuck for My time. I don't understand how it's seemingly gauges surveys for me and other times I'll start 10 or 15 different ones and not be able to complete one. I find myself quitting a lot of times when I still have time to take surveys. I do like taking them when the time is right but sometimes I just have to throw in the towel. Thanks Swagbucks for my $. I really would like to know what if anything I can do different to maybe change some things.

Used to get search wins multiple times a day now its once a month. Only way to get swag bucks anymore is surveys and shopping-if everything credits properly. If it doesn't credit you have to try to get a hold of customer service which is almost impossible
