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 originally joined swagbucks with a 10 dollar incentive I imagined it meant 10 real dollars. That was not the case. After working randomly for three days and accumulating 420 swagbucks I was not able to purchase a 5 dollar gift card. A complete waste of time. Not a option in any world.

Phenomenal Experience!
January 19, 2021

My experience with swagbucks has been beyond phenomenal! I just shop and earn, along with surveys I was rewarded a $50 gift card! I even accessed my gift card immediately and had no issues. This is such a genius idea and I can't thank them enough for their gratitude!

This is such a great website to earn gift card completely for free. Members can do offers in the discover section, watch videos, shop to earn points, play Swagbucks Live (trivia game), complete their to-do list, search, and play games to earn points called SB (or Swagbucks). 500 SB gets you $5 and so on. Be careful to follow their terms and conditions or you will be banned.

Legitimate website
January 16, 2021

I use swagbucks more as a hobby. I complete surveys and cash them in for gift cards but I'm not using this as a full time job. I have earned enough points to cash them in for $50 worth of visa gift cards, which I have received and successfully used. So I say they are 100% legit.

I received an offer from Swagbucks, to play Rise of Kingdoms and reach City Hall level 18 within 21 days and I would receive 5000 SB. They even suggested paying to play to get to Level 18 faster. I paid, and completed this offer. They refused to pay out after. I have had other offers I've done with them where the same thing happened. They don't honor the offers they put out. Now I'm out 15 bucks because they are crooks! Disgusting. I'm going to contact the BBB. Don't get ripped off by Swagbucks like I did. Try another site.

I use this site fairly regularly for side money I save up toward vacations. Specifically the gift cards and shopping rewards are competitive with other sites like Rakuten and Retailmenot so I always check Swagbucks when shopping. I have their browser add-on enabled for the same reason. Many of their coupons and Discover links can be very worthwhile. If you have spare time the surveys and gaming rewards can add up. I do wish some of the linked Discover sites were more carefully vetted as they end up just being junk or don't work at all. Chances are if they are super cheap they aren't worth it.

Pretty good
January 19, 2021

I thought it was just another scam app, but it wasn't. You just have to get some points and those giftcards are all yours. My one complaint is you have to wait so long for the gift card.

Yeah it works, $165 total made
January 9, 2021

SwagBucks is pretty cool if you're willing to put in some time. You can take surveys or watch videos for a few "swagbucks" at a time. 1 SwagBuck = 1 penny.

The real way to earn a decent amount is to use the Discover section, sign up and play the mobile games. You'll have to play a mobile game and reach a certain level, which is usually pretty high, but it will pay out like $25 and you're literally just playing one of those idle mobile games where you click a few buttons to start an auto-battle or auto-build a building that takes 5 hours to complete, etc.

I might spend a week playing a game to reach the level requirement, but some of the games are entertaining enough that I'm willing to play anyway. AFK Arena was a cool one. There was a Final Fantasy one based on FF15. They're free games usually.

Once you get some SwagBucks you can buy gift cards for Amazon, Bestbuy, or just get a PayPal card to get the actual cash. I've made $165 over maybe two years of using the site off and on. I got a $5 Amazon gift card recently because I was ordering a digital drawing tablet and was trying to scrounge up some cash to bring the price down.

So the site definitely works. You don't have to give them your bank info or anything because you just get a gift card code emailed to you whenever you want to cash out.

Swagbucks is great for earning rewards. There are many different of getting points. I prefer taking surveys, but it is also possible to earn rewards for shopping, playing games, signing up for services, and making donations to charities.

This is an amazing site. This site is for 13 year olds and up (if you dont believe me just remember that I am only 15 years old) I have gone here for getting some gift cards. I have purchased about 5 or 6 gift cards. Swagbucks is not a scam, it truly works and is amazing. Sure you have some questions that are the same throughout multiple surveys, but either way this is not a scam website. I love it. They even have multiple gift card optins for Walmart, Amazon, Grubhub & hundreds more.

No Accountability
January 2, 2021

Over 9/10 of the cashback, offers and tasks I completed, I did not receive credit for. If you complete a task on the "board", you have to contact one person. If you are requesting an investigation, you have to submit an individual request for each task, offer, etc. After 60 days I received credit for 3 items. Mind you I joined everything from Home Chef to Walmart to BoxyCharm, etc. over 30 offers and got credit for 3. The consumer should not have to keep track of it nor have to go through the hassle of filing an individual investigation for each one. Too much trouble!
