  • Gave it a Try

    I gave Swagbucks a try as a fun way to earn gift cards. I earned one $25 gift card pretty quickly but only because I downloaded, played and made a purchase in a recommended game. Otherwise, it takes forever to earn enough to get anything with your points. I also downloaded, played and made a purchase on a few games only to find that I wasn’t getting credit from Swagbucks. You have to allow tracking to get credit, which I did, however I couldn’t find any acknowledgement of downloading and playing the game in Swagbucks. In addition, it takes WAY too long to get some earned points through Swagbucks. When I earn points, I don’t want to wait 30 days to get my rewards. There has to be a a quicker way. One last comment, once you finally qualify for a survey and start taking the survey, sometimes it will end the survey giving you 1 - 6 SW even though you are 10 minutes into the survey. It’s also seems difficult to find a survey you qualify for. If you have extra time to take surveys and play games, this will be good for you.

  • Don’t download this app!!!!!!!!!!

    Swagbucks is like the worst app and website ever. It is just a complete waste of time. I tried 37 surveys, but I never qualify for any survey. Even though I fill in my personal information, it never filters the surveys that I won’t qualify for. Swagbucks is just wasting my time by making me to try and answer those survey questions one by one, and it will tell you that you do not qualify for it. For the app, it didn’t let me sign in, but who wants to use this terrible app? No one. I personally give up on swagbucks, and I hope others won’t waste their time like I did.

  • AMAZING!!!!

    Okay, so at first I was skeptical because I’ve tried multiple survey apps and could not even make $5. I decided to give SwagBucks a try and I am COMPLETELY blown away by how amazing, fun, and rewarding it is. I have been playing for about 4 days now, and I’m already over $100 and keep grinding it! You just have to be open and honest about the answers you choose, and do not fly through surveys selecting random answers. I mean come on, they’re not asking for a lot and if you don’t have the time be courteous to them for this phenomenal, easy, and rewarding app. Don’t give up on certain surveys. I’ve been turned down from quite a bit but that didn’t stop me, I kept trying and trying and now I’ve earned $100 in less than a week. Thank you doesn't even come close to expressing my gratitude towards SwagBucks. I’m going through a very rough time right now and have been homeless for the last month.. all I have is my car and I’m behind on every bill I have. So believe me when I say how beholden I am for this opportunity. You guys really helped saving me. Keep up the remarkable work!

  • Is legit

    They could offer a little more value for surveys and show more free offers
  • .

    i’ve only downloaded the app today and have attempted to work around the app for about two hours until i gave up (i honestly shouldn’t have spent so much of my time on this app). the surveys don’t work and boot me out of the survey mid question. everytime i answer honestly i think the survey thinks i’m being “dishonest” which is quite a bad feature to have ‘cause it will raise false red flags. the games also don’t work as everytime it directs me to a browser link and i try to accept to all the terms and conditions, the button to actually start the game doesn’t even work. it’s a broken app and there are wayyy better apps that are survey/money based that have a better UI and will not randomly ban you for answering the questions ‘cause of you seeming “dishonest”.

  • I would give zero but one is as low as it goes

    I tried this for two days. In that time I spent approx 3.5 hours. I’d get through about 5-7 pages and get rejected on all but 4 surveys out of about 25 or so that I started. I understand they are looking for certain demographics but 7 pages in!?! You ask that stuff on first page!! I was expecting an experience like YouGov where they send you stuff that you’re in the demographic for. This thing is hit and miss, mostly miss. Deleted it. Waste of time for return!!!

  • Keep Looking For Something Else

    I started off happy with the app at first, played games and earned gift cards. As soon as I completed required levels, I would receive a text saying your credit is on the way. Fast forward a few months and I stopped receiving credit for levels completed, reached out for help getting my credit and the first time with about a week turn around time they were helpful, the second time they tried saying I was credited when I actually wasn’t and had proof I wasn’t. With that being said I tried a different game and again no credit given after completion of required levels so it’s time to delete my account. Also the surveys are basically non existent I would go through five minutes of questions to suddenly be booted out saying I wasn’t a fit or qualified for that particular survey and no credit given- despite the fact I practically completed the whole survey prior to being kicked out. Coincidence? No- this happened every single survey I attempted over months: not once did it allow me to complete a single survey. Coming from a survey standpoint I recommend mturk for better survey and payout. Don’t waste your time downloading this app because it’s only a matter of time before they stop crediting you for the work completed. Disappointed to say the least because I enjoyed the random games and rewards.

  • Waste of Time

    Devs can’t figure out how to hide surveys you don’t qualify for until after you’ve completed them. Likely so they can harvest data and not pay out rewards. A lot of the surveys it actually leads to are scammy virus websites that also don’t pay out rewards.
  • Great way to make a little extra but may deactivate your account

    Swagbucks has a Lotof different ways that you can make a little extra money. How are you? Do you have to put a little bit of time and effort and some other things I would say it’s worth it in most cases. My favorite thing to do is to play the games that they offer because a lot of them are games that I would play anyways on my phone and it gives the extra little incentive to play a little bit further. The only thing stopping for my five star review is that they recently deactivated my wife’s account, and did not really give a specific reason why stating that she win against the terms and conditions of one of their partners but she legitimately follow the prompts that were given. She had a little over dollars worth of Swagbucks waiting to be anything with which gives me a little bit of anxiety thinking that they may do that with my account at any given notice as well. They have been really good about fixing any issues that I have personally had but it seems that they were not willing to work with my wife.
