Swagbucks = Giftcards
February 10, 2019

I mainly use Swagbucks to buy giftcards at MyGiftCardsPlus. Buying them gets me swagbucks points that I use to mainly buy Amazon gift cards.

I would not recommend Swagbucks to anyone based on the way it is today (November 2019).
When you set up an account with Swagbucks, it asks you some (not a lot) of personal information questions. You're going to be doing surveys, you assume that information is going to be used to match you up with surveys from their clients because no one wants to waste their time. However, not enough information is requested by the Swagbucks system and the information they do have clearly isn't relayed to the survey database.
I have spent an entire evening filling out QUALIFYING QUESTIONS an never actually got to complete a survey for points. And you see the exact same set of qualifying questions over and over which clearly have nothing to do with the actual survey because when you do get to a real survey, it's a completely different website and design! Clearly they're not connected.
I'm so fed up with repeatedly putting in my date of birth (and it says they'll use this to "find me a survey" you should already have a survey you want me to do!) My age and / or my exact Date Of Birth. My sex. My zip code and then they'll ask what state and / or county I live in. My zip code should tell you! But again, the survey should have already been filtered through my account to be a proper match for me BEFORE it even showed up in my list! Let's continue My salary. Relationship status. How many people live in my house?. My Etnhicity followed by the Hispanic question god I hate getting that one I'm white!. The amount of my investments (why is this important?). How many people work at my company (why is this important?). Do I have any pets. What is my political affiliation? (seriously if it's not a survey about politics why do you need this?) what kind of car do I drive when will I be buying a new car The survey system should already know all of those things about the user but it obviously doesn't so you spend 20 minutes doing qualifying questions and never get to the real survey because you get kicked out and you don't know why and you got no points for your time.
And when you do get to run through an entire survey, they'll "close" or end abruptly without telling you it's complete and how many points you're getting.
I've told them that somebody needs to reinvent this system because it's horribly annoying and not a productive use of my time (and I really do want it to be because I like doing most of the surveys!) and it's for all those reasons all those annoying reasons that I would not at this time recommend Swagbucks to anyone else.

I was a member for a month before their harassment started!
I first tried the surveys - but after spending 30 minutes, on surveys that said 10 minutes, then having them stall or just end without any payment, I just gave up on the surveys as their online chat monkeys were useless!
I tried their free email signup stuff (25SB or 40SB for giving a company my email address), half the time they did not credit my account, and again the Sb monkeys were useless!
So I started the paid trials/offers, and racked up a lot of SB quickly, with a few larger amounts pending for 30 days. Once I tried to to contact them for my pending SB they cancelled my account as they said it was a multiple of my brother's account?
I contacted them a dozen times about it, providing more information each time, proving my identity, but they had already decided they would rather keep my 7200SB!
I complained to the BBB, and after six months, their head swagbucks helper monkey contacted me asking for photo ID, which I provided (after erasing all sensitive data), and the next day they replied said that my account was closed for good as they deemed it was a fake account!

HOW is it possible for them to prove, or even suspect, a fake account if they didn't ask for both persons' IDs? This company makes more money from people spending their time on garbage (like the surveys that SB gets paid for, even when SB doesn't pay out to their customers) or signing up their emails for offers that barely pay out, so it is easy for them to cancel higher value accounts as they have my money and know that I only fulfilled high-paying offers onetime.

In short, you could pay a few dollars from them, maybe, but if you try to fast for too much, they'll steal from you & call you a fraud for their unethical theft!
