Swagbucks Play Games + Surveys Reviews

Before I got SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys, I accused it of being a scam because I doubted that a free money app could afford to give away this much. But I checked my Paypal after redeeming some gift cards and I see that I actually got paid. For a free money app, this is actually very generous. It pays you to do a variety of things, such as playing games, watching videos, answering surveys, etc. I find that answering surveys is the quickest way to make money since you get at least 1 cent for almost every survey you take and you get a few nickels if you actually complete the survey. With these, I am able to earn a few dollars a day. I would not recommend watching the videos though because you would have to wait a long time, sometimes at least 15 minutes, just to get a cent or 2. I was also unable to get paid for the games and offers yet so I do not know how well these work. Obviously though, do not expect to get rich off of SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys or even be able to get minimum wage. No free money app will pay you that much. If you want a decent source of income, you have to get a job. SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys should only be used as a way to get a slight boost to your current income or to get some pocket money if you have no way to get a job right now.

Edit: My activity center has been updated with what seems to be a rectification to the problem. I appreciate the attempt to solve the problem so I am raising my review. I still think that customer service needs some work, but this is the only issue I have had with Swagbucks, so I appreciate at least some semblance of a solution being reached.

Original: Let me start by saying that I love Swagbucks! I have recommended them to friends for years to earn extra spending money. Despite this, I have to leave a one star review. This all started when I opened a Chime checking account through Swagbucks. I was going to use a friend’s referral and get $75, but I saw Swagbucks’ offer and decided to use it instead. I opened the account and got 2 direct deposits from my employer within the allotted timeframe. The problem is that nothing ever showed up in my activity feed. I have contacted customer support multiple times and have not received even an automated response. I am deeply saddened by Swagbucks lack of care for their users. I would love to continue to use Swagbucks, but after this scam I do not think I can trust them.

Does SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys pay? Yes. But there’s too much time involved, along with the tediousness of dealing with surveys that screen you out. When taking surveys in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys, I usually get screened out shortly after answering a couple questions in each. I get that this can happen every once in a while, but in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys it’s overwhelmingly reoccurring. Sometimes surveys will take me to the very end and then Swagbucks won’t credit me the full amount originally promised. The survey time algorithm needs work too. There’s just much better options out there for taking surveys. To give you an idea, I’ve put about 7 hours into SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys doing surveys and have made $12. My opportunity cost would have been working at my job for those hours and earning $105 so it’s really not a good investment of your time. I mean the thing is, is that it works, but it’s too much of a hassle really given there’s other options out there (I won’t disclose here) for taking surveys for cash. And yes there are other features in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys, but unless you shop at stores don’t even bother (referring to cash back). Watching the videos and doing discover are both wastes of time. 16 videos for a penny and discover consistently has issues where I can’t access the content or it doesn’t credit me.

If you have the time read all.. it’s not all meh..
so I’ve had issues with certain surveys that didn’t pay, took much longer than stated and/or gave less than the agreed amount. It can get so aggravating when I kicked out of a survey right before completion and after spending over 20 minutes on it. But customer support has been pretty good with giving me they will award me if successfully completed. Customer care will help you sometimes at a slow pace but you do
Get paid for your time. It’s just a lot of screen shots! You need proof. A lot of time. You need the survey numbers or Id numbers so they know which one you’re talking about. The key is paying attention. Be honest. It could definitely be better in some things but hey, I need to make money somehow in this world. Times are rough for everyone!! They are the best company Ive dealt with so
Far!!!’ Good luck. You’ll need it as well as PATIENCE! Happy holidays.
Oh and another plus I was credited 300 Swagbucks for a survey I totally forgot completed so Swagbucks are good pple. Better than Eureka🤮 you’ll never get what you’re owed 👆🏻👆🏻from them

Swagbucks is definitely designed for those who already have a job, and are simply looking to save a little extra cash. Your chances of earning the most swagbucks is dependent on already spending money on groceries, entertainment, clothing, etc; and therefore being eligible for more surveys and earning swagbucks when you shop for things you needed to shop for anyway. If you understand that and you’re still game, go for it.
As I said in the title, I definitely like SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys better than the website. There are additional ways to earn swagbucks and if you tend to spend more time on your phone anyway, it’s easier to remember to do every day to get the most out of SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys , especially if you turn on notifications.
If you’re like me and you don’t do a lot of shopping, this may be harder to utilize to make extra cash. But give it a go and see for yourself, you never know till you try. It’s better than other cash-back options I’ve come across.

Since it appears my previous review was deleted. I will say SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is not worth the time. I down loaded SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys and SurveyJunkie on the same day. I reached minimum withdrawal amount on both apps around the same time which took about two day. SurveyJunkie withdrawal was in my PayPal account immediately. I finally got the Swagbucks withdrawal today, it took 11 days. I have reached minimum withdrawal on SurveyJunkie twice in that time and cashed out twice since then. I haven’t been able to reach minimum withdrawal for even a second time yet with SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys. Not only do you get rejected for surveys more often on SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys. It will disqualify you from surveys with over a 90% completion rate and 30 minutes over the 15 min estimate given for that particular survey and only award you a couple of points. If you get disqualified from a survey from SurveyJunkie, they have to common decency to disqualify you within the first few minutes so you can move on to another. I’m my previous review the developer boasted of other options to earn points in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys , but what they purposely doesn’t mention that earning points that way, they is even slower than the surveys. Spending 15-20 minutes for videos for 1 compared t 15-20 minutes filling out a survey for 40-60, is not the great alternative.

CONS:
Swagbucks is ok. Just ok. It’s not a great way to make money at all, so definitely DO NOT try and make it a full time job. I’ve made 4 bucks in a week, but that’s because I’ve spent almost 2 hours a day on it. If you use it as a search engine instead of safari or google, you could be making about a dollar a day. I haven’t tried it the search yet, but I’ve heard that it’s not so good quality. Surveys are also not on the good side. Swagbucks doesn’t make most of the surveys. Most of the surveys tell you that you don’t qualify. When you do get a survey going, or is almost always much longer than it said that it was going to be. Some surveys ask you for year and month of birth and race, and some go as far as to ask you EXACT date of birth, full name, and yearly income... Sometimes with these surveys I feel like I’m taking the CENSUS!!!

PROS: Swagbucks isn’t always nightmare though. There is a feature that I like called referring. If you make a referral and the person you referred uses your link, you receive 10% of that person’s money for life. If you own a social media account with a decently large number of followers, you should post your referral link there. If you successfully made like 100 referrals, you could be making like an extra 6 dollars an hour! Nice right?

I'm giving SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys 3 stars because I don't want to discourage anyone from at least trying it for themselves... but it's simply not for me. I don't want to sound paranoid but the first survey was all about asking my income, my profession, my race.. etc. They also asked if they could track my location with the option only to be tracked while using SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys .. or all the time. My choice was the first one but I keep receiving a pop up message saying I'm being tracked all the time regardless of my choices and would I like to go to settings to change this. Well of course I would because it wasn't my choice to begin with! I think I'm just old school and I don't like the idea of someone using my info as a method of saving money.. or getting me to spend it! I feel the same way about social media, if I want my friends and family to know what I had for dinner then I will call and tell them! I feel no need at this point to announce my life (or my dinner choices..LoL) to a bunch of complete strangers... but if these things don't bother you then you might actually like SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys and others just like it.. in which case you should give it a try. As for myself, I will be deleting for now.

I love SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys and website. I’ve made a few good money moves on swagbucks. But as the pandemic started I noticed that it started to go down hill. I have missed out on a bunch of credits. Customer service is super hard to get ahold of. I’m constantly finishing and completely finishing and thoroughly finishing surveys and then being told I was disqualified even tho I have a screenshot proving my completion. I go grocery shopping monthly and I mean multiple times a month and when I submit my receipt via email I receive nothing for my receipt and for letting swagbucks know. I hardly ever use SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys anymore. I come on and maybe do an 30 minute visit. I used to come on for hours and just had a ball now I don’t because I’m scared and I hate that I feel as though I will waste my time. Proceed with SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys with extreme caution. Screenshot everything you do for your proof. Stay in contact with swagbucks customer service and don’t stop like I did when I got frustrated because they had me reaching out almost 5 times daily.

Swagbucks is a fun and easy way to earn a little extra pocket cash, and with their PayPal payout option, you don’t have to transfer your earnings to a gift card you may not use. The key to making the most of SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is to answer the Daily Poll everyday, submit pictures of every shopping receipt you get from even the simplest things as filling up your gas tank, or buying a few groceries. You can also watch videos and discover content for a few Swagbucks, but this can take quite a while. Swago (their version of Bingo) is a fun way to earn extra Swagbucks too. And don’t forget about playing free games (to make it worth it, you will want to avoid in app purchases) and also their Swagbucks Live trivia game question events they hold on the Swagbucks Live app. It all adds up. I’m sure people can make a living off of SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys alone, but I personally have not figured that out yet. As of right now, it just helps put a little extra cash in my pocket. 👌

Although I knew SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys was safe, I wasn’t expecting much rewarding. Swagbucks is an app that does in fact give you a digital currency that can be exchanged for real money and gift cards, but it costs more time than anything. Most surveys only give you 1-3 Swagbucks, which is about the equivalent of 1-3 cents, and the bigger paying surveys ask a lot of personal questions and take like half an hour to do. I thought I could do it for a little pocket money, but I’d much rather spend my time doing something else. As for magic receipts, if you want to grind up Swagbucks throughout the month scanning receipts for specific items and get maybe a ten dollar gift card, go right ahead. Sometimes you can download a game and complete some tedious goal for a lot of Swagbucks, but I deleted the game I got after it became grueling to progress. And I wasn’t about to spend money on the game to make money on the game. Like I said before it absolutely does what it says, but it requires a lot of time investment.

Sincerely, a bored teenager.

I tried logging into my account via SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys but it kept saying invalid credentials. I didn’t think much of it and clicked on the forgot password link. When I was done resetting my password it took me to my account. I then logged out and tried to use my new password to enter my account but then again I got the same response “invalid credentials”. I thought weird maybe I typed it in wrong and tried a couple more times before hitting the reset password link again. When I got access to my account again via email. I then click on account so I could verify that I had all the right information which I did. So I figured maybe SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is just experiencing some issues and went to google chrome like they suggest and same thing “invalid credentials.” I reported my issue to customer service and it was simply dismissed. Then I decided to try and make a different account and when I was done creating it and tried to log in again I got another invalid credentials pop up. This is ridiculous on another level. I have had this account since 2014. I’m just not impressed with its customer service.

So good app, simple but takes some time to get enough Swagbucks to redeem something. If you plan to make a purchase online try to go through SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys . Recently I did this, I bought somthing off Groupon threw the swag bucks app it advertise 12% cashback and 12 swag bucks for every dollar spent. However it isn’t instant and I haven’t got the rewards yet not sure where the 12% cash back is going to or when the points will be added to my account. It does say wait up to 7 days for the reward so that’s where I’m at Rn on day 2 I will come back and add 5 stars if everything goes smoothly. Tell them I base my stars off comparing it to other money making apps. I have downloaded and used over 30 of these type of apps and this one is in the middle for how long it takes to get those points n the amount of work. The cash back is not an option on a lot tho so that would give it 5 starts as I’ve gone threw n tested everything on SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys just waiting on that one action to give my full review.

Overall, I like SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys more than other survey apps I’ve tried. But Swagbucks has the same issue that the rest of them do, and that is allowing surveys to disqualify you from participation after answering page after page of relevant information and entering in all of your demographic information.

I’ve had plenty of times where I feel like I’m almost finished with a survey, only to be disqualified. Let’s say a survey says that it should take 15 minutes to complete, and after 10 minutes of answering questions you get booted out; that’s when I feel taken advantage of. The good surveys will DQ you after only a few questions at the very beginning. The bad ones will ask you 20 questions about your knowledge on a subject and how you feel about 10 different people/brands, get all of your demographics, and then DQ you. It’s very frustrating, and typically leads me to close SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys .

I’m so over SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys. I only use it for the product rebates. I go to the store, buy the product and literally half the time never get credited. It can’t find the item on my receipts. So I submit receipt for review and I either get one of 2 messages “the receipt isn’t clear and items aren’t found” I read every single detail under a product to make sure I get the right one and know for a fact it’s the right product and they still say item not found. I take the most clear pictures I know how and they still say it isn’t clear. SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys has cheated me out of so much money. You can’t respond to the emails so you have to keep resubmitting the rebate. I have tried open tickets on about 6 items and the email literally says we will get back to you in 30+ days. I haven’t heard anything and several of them were well over a month ago. You get so frustrated you just give up and lose out on money. After 30 days sometimes you can’t return the product to the store. I’m cashing out and deleting SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys. This is the worst rebate app I’ve ever used.

I really enjoy taking the surveys! I haven’t been doing it long enough to earn anything but I’m certainly giving it a “GO”! The only 2 problems I’ve encountered are the videos/ad section and submitting an electronic receipt. I cannot figure out how to get back out of the ad section once I’m in that section. I end up closing SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys and coming back to it later. And I tried several times to submit an electronic receipt from one of the approved stores but because it was rejected because it didn’t have their name at the top. However, my store app had the name included on the picture I submitted. So now I’m having to get paper receipts, which is a waste. The explanation to remedy that particular issue wasn’t very clear. It said it could be one of several problems but it wasn’t specific. Other than those, all the other areas are good!

After a couple months of downloading almost every coupon and survey app I could find. I then went to Google looking for best and worst of these types of apps. SWAGBUCKS was always on top of the list but I ended up having like 20 downloaded to my phone. Some I knew right away were useless and deleted immediately. I kept a few as some are better for certain things. I use my others for coupons and grocery shopping but I’ve only been a member of SWAGBUCKS for 29 days and I’ve already got my first 25$ visa gift card and almost to my second. It’s an easy to use app as the others were just too difficult or just plain not worth it. Plus there is so many using SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys that they have made members only fb pages where everyone helps each other out! If you haven’t tried it, Do it! You will have fun while making money!!

Great app easy to use God bless you all I leave this prayer with you confess with your mouth and accept and believe with your heart that Jesus Christ died for our sins as a remission of sins and rose from the dead after the 3rd day and was seen alive by over 500 brethren, the seed of David according to the flesh. 🙏🏽💯😎❤️

Salvation prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I turn to you today, I repent of all my sins. I believe that your Son Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins, and was resurrected to life on the third day, and forever more he lives, Father, I ask of you to baptize me with the Holy Spirit right now, Change my heart, and renew my spirit. I forgive myself completely, and I completely forgive others who’ve done wrong against me, and have hurt me.. I invite you Jesus, to enter into my heart; change me, Save me, and be Lord of my life. Right now, in your mighty name I pray, Amen!

I like how you are able to always find something to do on SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys . You have sweepstakes, videos, surverys, fun Codes, and you can redeem your points in more than one place. It DOES take time!! So do it when you have some awkward in between time or when you are bored and the points will add up before you know it. The only disappointment in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is that a lot of the surveys will boot you out of them and you don’t get the opportunity to even take the survey. I honestly don’t mind spending the time on the surveys, but I have to get into one to be able to take it. Another thing about the surveys is that you could be half way through and then be disqualified for it, BUT it will give you a decent amount of points. For example let’s say the survey offers 60 points, you could have done some of your survey already then get booted out but still receive 20 points.

I think SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is a nice way to get money, especially for a 15 year old like me. However, I have some problems with it. First, I get a forced add that won’t pay me after every single payed video that I watch. I know the creator has to make money to pay for all the users and stuff, but it just feels like too much. It’s like those stupid games or websites that are too laggy to work because they’re loading adds on the side of the screen and you know your gonna get hit with an add that you can’t skip at any second. Also, more than half of the surveys I do knock me out of them before I can finish them. Most of them knock me out right at the beginning for some “technical error” but the ones that kick me out of the survey at the end are just infuriating. I should get payed more than 1 Swagbuck if I get kicked out of the survey. I take my time to do the survey, I should get payed if I’m knocked out. I didn’t choose to leave the survey.

I’m used to doing surveys online, they always take a long time for little payout but I’ve redeemed quite a few gift cards over the years. My issue isn’t with Swagbucks, but SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys itself. At times the surveys don’t load completely so after spending 25 minutes on a super detailed survey, I can’t continue because the buttons or options don’t load enough for me to answer or click “Next,” so I lose out on all that time and a couple extra dollars. Also, if my finger happens to slip and click one of the tabs in SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys (which you can’t get rid of and are always present at the bottom of the screen), then I lose all my progress and I get kicked from the survey altogether. Just a few things I’d like to see fixed and would make the user experience much more satisfying.

SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys has a lot of bugs. Some surveys do not load properly and do not align on the screen so you have to just tap and figure out how where it ends up. Some are so bad that I get most of the way through and can not complete the survey so I do not get the points. Some days it is extremely hard to qualify for surveys and some days it is much easier. It is also extremely frustrating when you are 15 minutes into a 20 minute survey and then suddenly do not qualify for that survey. The times that are listed off to the side of the survey are also very misleading. I do use my account on the website and do much better. I have done this for about two months and do not even have 1500 Swagbucks so patience is the key. I usually just do the surveys while watching tv. I have yet to redeem and can update my review when I do that. One thing that is nice- you can have a small amount of swagbucks and still redeem for gift cards.

If you have the time and patience to be on SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys or on your computer to answer and/or watch videos all day it may pay off. I’ve been doing this for a couple years now. Got “banned” from answering questions once because I felt like they kept asking the same questions every single time. I switched it up and got “banned” or “blocked” from doing questionnaires lol I sent them a quick email and it was resolved. Since then I haven’t really done much on here. Like I said, you need a lot of time and a bunch of patience. Does it really pay off? I mean if you save for the big buck gift card, maybe. It takes TIME. If you do this a couple times a week for a few months you may be able to get a $25 gift card.

I have literally spent HOURS doing surveys. HOOOUUURSSS. Maybe 3 gave the points it said it would. Instead you subject yourself to a ton of questions only to receive the message, “Not every survey is a winner. Here’s ONE POINT for trying” or something close to that. An enormous waste of time. Still cannot even get close to the minimum amount of points to receive the advertised bonus. Yes, I’m reading all the questions and answering honestly. I’m not just clicking anything and being dismissed. But it seems after answering so many questions, nothing about my answers qualifies me to get points. It also does not track, notate or remove the ones you have already completed. So I have also wasted a ton of time doing the “qualifying” questions before the actual questions, only for it to tell me I already did this survey. Poorly organized. Poor consumer experience. Appears only to be for data mining as it is near impossible to get enough points to actually get a reward card.

I haven’t had SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys for long but honestly find it is probably more worth it than other survey apps. The high point to SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is not only can you take surveys for points but you can watch videos, answer polls, and search the net for points. It’s diverse and I’m well underway to a great reward without breaking my thumbs clicking in order to earn 5 cents an hour. I recommend everyone at least try it. You could earn a little cash instead of playing that Candy Crush level you’ve been stuck on for two years but are too stubborn to pay to skip.

This company is so unethical I’m ashamed to say I ever worked with them. If you bring up a problem on their Facebook page because they won’t answer your swag ticket they will delete your post, any comments you made, and block you from their page. I have tried to ask many times why they shut my account down and cannot get any answer whatsoever except the same computer generated response. I have deleted SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys and will never be using swagbucks again. The customer service is not only terrible and they don’t value their users but they are also doing things unethically. I’ve seen many others say their accounts were shut down and they never received an explanation (those comments were also deleted very quickly). Don’t get involved with this scam company. Something is very fishy about them. I bet they paid for the good reviews on SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys .

I qualified for 2 special surveys and they never paid me. I made sure to click the link at the right time, fully participate, and wait the time they asked, so they could still never credit my account. I spent 2 hours on a survey that was supposed to credit 5000 swagbucks. I made a ticket and still no change and it’s been like 2 weeks later. I was hoping to make money to buy stuff for my kids before this ones due, but it’s starting to become more of a let down and waste of time. I also did the offer of getting my command center to level 12 and today is day two, so not holding my breath that they will credit me for that either. Mean it’s sad because as a stay at home mom I was hoping it would actually work to help with expenses and what my kids need.

Every store you click on has a list of non-eligible items that's like a page long and it's pretty much everything in the store! For example, at Walmart you can't get cash back on any clothes or accessories, no food, no sports stuff, no home stuff, no baby stuff, no personal care stuff. All you can get is basically electronics and that's it. It's like that for pretty much every store. And the surveys are not quick so don't be fooled thinking you'll spend a few minutes and earn some cash. No, you'll be sitting for hours sometimes for such small amounts of points so be prepared. A lot of the surveys will end up only giving you 1 point if you didn’t answer how they wanted you to. Like.. that’s not how a survey is supposed to work. It's worth it to some people i suppose but not me.

I started using Swagbucks as a form of entertainment an a way to earn some cash on the side in my free time. After awhile of using it I’ve come to really enjoy SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys . I’ve earned a fair chunk of change while simply answering questions. Then I started to get in home product testing an man those are the best. I have started to feel like my option really makes a difference. The only down side is sometimes being honest really screws you out of some great rewards. Especially since I’m beyond honest. I give a complete an thorough answer to all questions an more often than not it disqualifies me. But all in all Swagbucks is so worth the time

My mother sent me a link a couple months ago when I tried it the first month was really easy but I think that’s because they want you to keep being a member I’ve noticed that last month was much harder and now this month I noticed that the videos Used to be one two or three swag bucks for watching a reasonable amount of time sometime between five minutes and 25 minutes now it’s down to one and two and you’ll have to spend 42 minutes watching a video for three swag bucks which equals three cents. Are usually get my points from shopping ordering things to be picked up in the store like Walmart or Menards or Home Depot all in all it’s not a bad site to use if you’re bored

Well, SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys has been pestering me to rate it, so here it is: SwagbucksPlayGamesSurveys is barely worth using. More often than not, the “Watch” section will try to play advertisements that either refuse to load outright, or freeze after playing and refuse to load the video. As for the surveys, more often than not (at least on my phone, might not be an issue on tablets) I’ll get surveys where the “Next” button is hidden behind the refresh button, so trying to advance kicks me out to the survey panel with no compensation. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll get surveys asking me to rotate my screen to landscape, but the survey itself remains locked to portrait, which again locks out any progress. You’re better off just using the main website.

I find I qualify and make money easily on this particular app. I do wish the button on top left that exits the survey were not there during surveys (or have an option to get back to where I left off after hitting it accidentally. I have accidentally touched it in the middle of a long survey and lost my whole survey. But overall it is a great app because I make more than 1 disqualification point for most tries. That motivates me to keep trying. I’ve gotten 2, 5, even 20 points for just trying to qualify. That’s awesome!
Thanks Swagbucks!

I’ve had a few that I never got points for. If you have to complain, they need the survey number which I don’t record on each survey. There are quite a few surveys that when they might say takes 10 minutes, and when you answer more than standard questions for up to 5 or more minutes, they say you don’t qualify. Hey they survey already got all the answers!!! I just now finished one that took almost 25 minutes about NAR. Realtors. Finished it completely, the progress bar showed 100%. And guess what!?!?! No points!!! This is getting ridiculous.
