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.

The surveys don't work.
October 24, 2019

Of course this site helps a lot but it seems like the surveys don't work the videos aren't rewarding enough for the time spent watching them, I don't want to pay to play games and I don't want to pay to earn swag bucks but it seems that's the only way to actually achieve any sb over a feasible amount of time

Easy way to earn a little extra income in the form of gift cards. Bonus is that the site is fun to use and also adds learning experiences.

I returned to the site to do surveys after being away from it for at least a year. Verification process is quick and simple, and so is earning and redeeming gift cards. I give the site a 4/5 because receiving the rewards after redemption takes a bit of time and you're more likely to fail surveys even if you initially matched up than you are to get points for them. There's also the issue with not getting rewarded for things at all regarding some methods you use to earn points but that seems to be an issue with most survey websites. It's annoying regardless as someone that doesn't like to waste too much time without a reward making it worth it. I would regardless recommend the website as earning points can be rather quick if you're lucky. I earned $40 in at least two days time which is good money.

Easy to earn gift cards
October 22, 2019

It's one of the best apps to earn gift cards and do surveys. You can get Visa gift cards if you don't want store ones and it's the one that I'm matched to surveys so well that I don't get denied nearly as often as other apps/websites. The only thing I don't like is you can't get your SBs converted to cash and sent to PayPal.

So far so good!
October 22, 2019

I am new to Swagbucks. Just cashed in for $25.00 Walmart card. Haven't got it yet, so I will see how long it takes. A lot of the surveys have the same questions. That is a little tiring. Overall, I am pleased to be a part of it.

I feel like when I first began using this app it was better than now. Swagbucks are real work to earn unless you're spending money. For many people this is fine, great even but for me and many that I know, we just don't have the time or energy to put in.so it winds up being a decent app to be used only a couple times a week

I have been using Swagbucks for years and have redeemed points for many Amazon cards! I love the live Swag IQ trivia because it is super fun, you learn new facts, and you can also earn a little bit of change in the virtual piggy bank. It is only a tiny bit but it is cumulative and adds up. You can earn more extra money from Swagbucks every month than you would with most Savings accounts by doing every day activities like shopping online or using the search engine and also extra activities like taking advantage of offers on the Swagbucks site, playing Swag IQ, watching videos, and completing surveys. If you want to do surveys, I recommend the app.

I dont like that you only get 1 sb per survey; which happens to me a lot, to reach a goal. However, I love to get to do the ones I do and be rewarded higher and easy rewards also.

Better then others
October 19, 2019

Swagbuks is what I always do on the bus or subway to pass time. Some of the topics are interesting others seem repeatedly pointless. However I've redeemed points into gift cards and saved some money shopping.

Surveys too repetetive
October 18, 2019

Great app with real rewards but the only way to get a lot of Swagbucks is to actually buy stuff or take surveys. The surveys are probably more convenient so you don't waste money but they are very repetitive and way longer to take than indicated even for a small amount of sb.
