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!
November 1, 2019

I love swagbucks! It's an easy way to earn free money. It takes a while to get enough points because you don't qualify for all surveys you take, maybe like 20% for me I usually qualify kr less, but is definitely worth it if you have any free time.

I'm enjoying SB
November 1, 2019

So far so good. I've not had a real problem yet and my gift cards arrive sooner than advertised. The site can be daunting at first with so many things to do and so many menus to go through. But to those who are new or those who haven't done much with swag bucks yet, hang in there and keep trying. I've only just started really trying almost a week ago after signing up back in June. The site was soo confusing to me at first. But only a week into it of really trying I am at almost $20 I think. I'm taking advantage of everything I've learned and know how to use and still learning more.

Not Worth the Effort
October 29, 2019

Swagbucks sucks, I keep getting locked out of my account. Supposedly, I am doing something to violate their terms, even though I have read the terms and am not. My guess is that it is from "speeding through surveys ". Which means that I don't take forever thinking about each answer. I have not had one survey get done in less time than the estimate given before starting. Getting very tired of the customer service that won't tell me why this is happening. Seems like I am permanently deactivated now, so just making the rounds online leaving poor reviews. The worst part is, I spent at least 20 hours accumulating 1500 SB that they stole from me the last time I got locked out for good. Don't be deceived, everyone has a good experience at the start, which is where all the good reviews come from. They know how to artificially keep the rating high.

I like the apps
October 31, 2019

The apps and the website are laid out well and not complicated. I really like the SB Live trivia games. The hosts are hilarious and they do a great job.

Fun Pass Time
October 30, 2019

If you are looking to get rich, this is not the site for you. If you want to have fun watching clips, playing games, shopping, and learning about interesting items, Swagbucks is your answer. Some people have stated that Swagbucks is not like it used to be or it takes too much time to earn points. What I have to say to that is, you are getting items or gift cards to do things that you would do anyway (shopping, watching TV, playing games, surfing the web, and reading). This means one gets rewarded to do things that one would be doing for free... and it is fun to do tasks on Swagbucks. If one likes completing surveys, one can do that too and earn points. Even if you don't qualify for a survey, you still get a point. Swagbucks is not a source of income, it is a source of fun, kind of like a hobby that gives rewards. There are so many things to do on Swagbucks and if one does not like an activity, there are many other activities that one can do. I like the trivia game, shopping, watching clips, and searching the web. I have earned thousands of points which I have used to play the sweepstakes, purchase gift cards, and order items from the swag store. I would recommend Swagbucks to a friend.

Rewarding
October 30, 2019

It's enjoyable easy way to earn extra money and learn a lot about new products. I also like that my child has been able to participate on the surveys. I also like that the surveys are always different

It's a good way to earn a little extra but almost all of the surveys I didn't qualify for. Just takes awhile to earn points to cash out.

I've made 11 dollars in one month. That is the fastest I've ever earned money online. There are numerous ways to get SBs. Watching videos, making online searches, and even answering server questions (if you don't qualify for the survey, you still get one or two SBs). I love this app and plan on using this for a long, long time.

Twice in October
October 29, 2019

I cashed out $25 October 10 with Paypal, then another $25 on October 24. This is the 1st time I cashed out twice in a month. I'm on my way to my next goal. It is fun & very easy to answer questions truthfully and get paid while doing it. ***I have read some bad reviews on Swagbucks, I was one of them! But now I understand 'how to' redeem my points. It did take me months & months to learn how. Please keep at it, & good luck!

Decent
October 29, 2019

Overall, the Swagbucks is a decent service. Some good things, some not so good. I've never been able to have much success on the surveys to earn swag. Just waste hours being told "not this time but here are 2 Swagbucks anyway" and the videos are mind numbing. Somehow my account has been flagged so I'm unable to use the NCrave option. I've earned most of my Swagbucks from purchases and that has worked fine. The gift card redemption was very easy and quick to process.
