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've redeemed some awesome deals from Swagbucks but sometimes things don't credit as they should. Luckily the support team is quick to fix the issues and provide the credit but it is an extra hassle. I also wish some of the offers were vetted a little better since some seem like scams or will flood your inbox if you sign-up. All in all though I'd give Swagbucks 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The key to earning is regular activity and participation. If you shop then it makes sense to save money when you shop. Swagbucks is a way to lower costs of buying online. Plus you earn by completing surveys, watching videos, installing apps and more. I have done all these things easily with a computer. It is best to have both a computer and phone with Swagbucks.

If you are phone only, best earnings are with shopping cash back.

Plus take care to avoid online scams and phishing which appear to be the causes of reported lost money. Any offer that appears to be from Swagbucks and asks you do something that the company really does not do, that is phishing and nothing to do with Swagbucks but someone using Swagbucks name and taking advantage of those not informed of online scams. Online security is your responsibility. Be informed and don't respond to shady email offers. Swagbucks does not send you emails to send checks. The company is not "swag bucks llc". Swagbucks is registered as "Prodege LLC".

Swagbucks is a good program that pays those who are most active and smart bargain hunters and shoppers. If you don't like viewing ads or don't have time for tasks, then maybe it's not for you. But there are regular and avid members who do use Swagbucks daily.

I pay less for hotel stays, pay for rewards cards at a discount and save when shopping. Those savings add up to better money management at home.

When I was very low income, I used Swagbucks earnings to redeem for PayPal deposits. I used that money to buy gas and meals when I worked a contract job for 8 weeks. That $25 made such a difference between going to work or not going to work that I thank Swagbucks for helping me back in 2015.

First photo is some of the ways you can redeem your rewards. Sometimes cards are sold at discounts. Last purchase was $100 VISA gift card. Some people are very skilled with these sites and know how to avoid email based scams. I have desktop computer and Android Smartphone. Second photo is view of reward earning history. One is hotel stay reward.

Survey
January 12, 2018

Good extra way of earning but surveys don't pay enough. Late disqualifications. Some occassions answered all questions and didn't get compensated.

Swagbucks is great for getting money back. Especially if used for shopping and search. It can, however, become addictive and time consuming if you get caught up in the advertising and 3rd party things so you must exercise caution.

Swag Bucks Gift Cards
January 12, 2018

I love getting these and I love how fast they come in. I love that I can also use them on most things. Like Amazon, facebook, paypal, and more. Helps out when you are wanting things and if you put the time in you really do get the money as a gift card. I like that swagbucks is not a fake site and yeah it takes time but it is so so so worth it. When you have no job yet just work on the surveys it allows you to make some extra money to get things you want and need. Really good site and i have nothing bad to say about it.

You gotta do this
January 12, 2018

I was skeptical at the idea of getting paid to do what I do online any ways, but one day I decided to just give it a try. It was just as easy as promised and I have earned at least $50 in gift cards in the last year. Maybe not a ton of money, but $50 more than I would have had. I get the Amazon gift cards which are great as I shop there at least 2-4x a month. Seriously, this is a for real deal and you can make a bit of extra spending money easy peasy...

Pretty good
January 12, 2018

I enjoy using Swagbucks, I think some of the videos you watch should be worth more Swagbucks based off the time you have to watch. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever to earn the points.
