Swagbucks

I have encountered two recurring problems with Swagbucks recently:
(1) I have been completing surveys that congratulate me for answering all the questions but the activity journal indicates I was disqualified.
I contacted support about these problems but they say it's my fault that surveys are not completing. They give stupid excuses like "you have more than one window open". It's like they don't know the surveys opens in a new Edge window EVERY TIME you click on the landing page list.
(2) Too many surveys take three or four times longer to complete than the amount of time indicated in the description (like 65 minutes instead of 20 or 40 minutes instead of 10!)

I've always known this site was pretty bad about paying you for the things you do there, but it was a couple bucks a month to use on amazon when ordering groceries, a member for over 12 years... but now they have gone way beyond a site I feel safe on... I sent in a support request to be paid for an offer I was owed... Next thing I know they want my driver's license and a photo recognition photo of my face. This information can be used against you some day if its hacked or sold to a facial recognition software company... they try to assure you that its safe but the company they use wants to store this info for 3 years. Umm NO. Why? I would not allow them to have this for minutes let alone 3 years... We have already verified our account threw the postal mail and also threw text on our cell phones. Why are they now wanting to collect our ID and photo... that is just not right and for the 3 dollars Im owed I will not comply to this demand

I have mixed feelings about whether these guys are legit. They advertise promotions that are legit and say that they will honour points after they verify with their third parties. However, when you ask the third party, they deny such an agreement in place. Swagbucks then blames the consumer despite there being a technical error in their website pointed out and you have to point with them to reason with you by demonstrating the proof that they require. They respond back with the same blurb every time without reading your additional proof that the requirements were met. I do not know if I trust these guys. If you follow the instructions and prompts to fulfill your side of the deal and then they do not honour their side, you feel like you have been taken advantage of. That is not something that I would want to have happen to someone else so recommendation... absolutely not.

I've used Swagbucks occasionally for over two months. I had no trouble getting my first two Amazon gift cards. When I had enough points for another they would not send me a pin. There seems to be no customer service at all. Other people have had this problem too I have seen on review sites. It looks like I can still donate my Swagbucks to charity which I will. And then I'm done with them. If you decide to use this site I highly suggest that you cash out each time you earn at the lowest level so that they can't shut your account without you doing tons of low paid work and then not getting paid. The surveys don't pay even close to minimum wage and getting pennies for watching videos is a joke. I'm not sure the videos would even break even with the cost of powering your computer.

Started site years ago, think was 2008 - was member in good standing for many years - then one day - told "did not like taking surveys" and learned was banned from taking Gold surveys - now lucky to make $75 in one year - shows my desperation of financial need - that I stay - though hardly any way to earn - will never understand why this happened and why this cannot be corrected - really don't deserve this treatment - it hurts in multiple ways -

I spent 50 to 60 hours accumulating rewards but then when it came time for them to pay me, they claimed my survey answers were not 100% honest. ( which is a big fat lie) PLUS now my email is getting bombarded with spam emails!
Thanks Swagbucks, for cheating me out of a good chunk of money & for wasting my time, & for filling my inbox with Spam.
PS. Even if they would have paid me for what they owe me, I'd be working for less than $1 per hour. Do U know anyone who will work for that amount? I don't!

For 3 days I am waiting to get paid via paypal. Other sites pay me instantly which is the norm for surveys right now. People who do this need their money immediately and will not work with a site who thinks they can hang onto it for awhile and expect the same people to continue to use their site. I'm owed $10 7/24, $10 7/25, $10 7/27

What a con game this is. Don't get suckered into this cesspool of liars, con artists, and scammers. The turds that run this sideshow should find other jobs! Like following elephants with a shovel! And to these barfbrains I say this: May a toothless yak gnaw on your grandma's wheat thins!

Swagbucks drags their feet paying out rewards. Even PayPal, which I get paid in an hour or less on any other site is a week at best. Many of their questions make me worry about identity theft, who do you bank with, what credit cards do you have, one asked for Vin# for vehicle? Obv skip these surveys but be wary, and prepared once you make about $30 in a week to be kicked out of most surveys you try...SMH

They do not pay well on the surveys. They don't pay you sometimes for taking the survey(glitch?). You get 1 cent for three attempts which is not worth it. After 3 attempts you don't get anything. The surveys constantly put you through monotonous paying attention questions, so if you don't qualify for the survey you wasted lots of your time. Swagbucks sucks.

Go with survey junkey. You always at least get payed for attempts(2-3 cents). Not as much paying attention questions. Many more aspects that are better. More money and quicker. Murk is also better.

I've been using this on and off for a little less than a year and I've already redeemed almost $1,000. Any time my activities didn't show as pending after being completed all I had to do was contact customer service and they usually needed some kind of proof but it would always get sorted out. Highly recommend Swagbucks. Great customer service!
