Deal Scenarios
- The optimal deal scenario is to sign up for the 3500 Live TV offer, pay the $39.99 + tax for one month, then downgrade to a standard $7.99 monthly plan. With tax, you should end up just over the $50 Amex threshold.
- Another scenario could be to do the 3000 SB deal and pay with a Bank of America card if you have an offer to get $7.99 back and net the free Swagbucks. Or pay with an Amex and keep the plan for a few months to meet the $50 threshold (use add-ons or whatnot to pump your numbers up)
Our Verdict
This could be an excellent moneymaker if played well. It should work even for those who did previous Hulu deals on Swagbucks (so long as you aren’t currently a subscriber) since this Live TV deal is probably considered a new deal. (Usually Swagbucks lets you know when you can do a deal when you click through.)
A couple things to keep in mind:
- Remember to cancel when you no longer want the Hulu subscription. Put it on your calendar, whatever.
- Bear in mind that some people end up having problems either with the portal tracking or with Swagbucks deactivating their account for reasons which aren’t clear, so keep the risks in mind.
