Update 1/22/20: Deal is back for $28 this time. In a sense it’s better now since they lowered the amount of time you need to keep the subscription back down to 8 days, so you only need to pay for one month before cancelling – a $22 moneymaker. (Hat tip reader Jonathan)
Update 9/30/19: Deal is back. Hat tip to DDG
Update 9/4/19: Deal is back, doesn’t seem stackable with the 50% off deal on Hulu unfortunately.
Update 8/4/19: Deal is back and 3,500 Swagbucks again
Update 7/22/19: Bonus is now 3,500 Swagbucks. (ht reader Rajuncajun)
Update 7/21/19: Bonus is now 3,000 Swagbucks. Not as good as the previous 3,350 deal. Hat tip to reader Roman M
Update 6/27/19: Bonus is now 3,350 Swagbucks. (Update: there’s also an offer from MyPoints for 6,000 points which is worth a bit more – I think that’s worth around $39.)
Second Update 6/6/19: Now it’s back at 3,000 Swagbucks, increased from a few hours ago. (ht reader Charlie)
Update 6/6/19: Offer is back, this time for 2,500 Swagbucks. (ht reader CR)
Update 2/13/19: Offer is back, this time for 3,000 Swagbucks.
Update 12/17/18: Offer is back, but now for 4,000 swagbucks instead of 3,200.
Update 6/16/18: Offer is back.
The Offer
- Swagbucks is currently offering 3,350 Swagbucks (worth at least $33.5) when signing up for a Hulu streaming subscription.
The Fine Print
- SB will appear as Pending for 32 days.
- Please note: If you cancel your membership within 32 days, your SB may be revoked.
- Offer applies to new and eligible returning subscribers only.
- Must submit valid name, address, credit card and other subscription information to earn SB.
- Offer may only be redeemed once (1) per user.
- If you are not credited within 32 days of offer completion, you have 14 days to contact the Swagbucks Help Center for further investigation. Help Center tickets submitted after the 14 day grace period are not eligible for further investigation and SB.
Our Verdict
Cheapest Hulu subscription is the one with commercials which costs $5.99 per month; the terms used to require just 8 days before cancelling, but the new terms state 32 days, so you’ll end up paying for two months. All in, it’s still $18 moneymaker with 2 free months of Hulu.
A few things to keep in mind:
- If you’ve done the offer in the past, it should error out when clicking through the link. If the click-through works that’s a good sign that you are eligible. (I believe Hulu typically makes you re-eligible for promotions after a year of not being a subscriber, but it may vary based on the promotion. Brand new members are eligible as well, of course.)
- Remember to cancel if 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.
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
If you chat Hulu support, they will refund the monthly charge if you didn’t use your account.
Now down to 1500 SB
Lier. Didn’t get paid
Did you submit a ticket with Swagbucks?
In the SB terms it says “Offer may only be redeemed once (1) per user.” I have been credited for Hulu before on SB but this was years ago. I am not eligible for this offer, correct?
Correct
Scroll through this page and you’ll see that some people have posted that they got points for Hulu offers more than once (spread out over months or years).
“Offer may only be redeemed once (1) per user” likely means you can do the offer once this time around, then again one of the next times it is offered.
I remember several years ago I did that exact thing and SB clawed it back. I argued it was a different Hulu offer but they said each person is only allowed 1 Hulu offer ever. Maybe they relaxed their policy since then.
Did Hulu twice on Swagbuck, didn’t see 3000SB offer but only 800SB Bundle offer
Same here, only the 800 SB offer
Nice offer. This is either the 2nd or 3rd time for me on this deal over the last few yrs. Thanks Doc!
Didnt get the 3500 one but 2800 also works,thanks Doc!!!
MyPoints has a 5000 point ($31-$33) offer for Hulu. I did not see the offer on Swagbucks, but that may just mean I’m not eligible. It appears that if you are not eligible, MyPoints won’t let you click-through to Hulu. Although I did use SMS verification (never done that before, not sure if this means I won’t be able to do the offer again in the future).
Looks like Swagbucks is 2800 ($28), but I can only see it incognito mode.
Thanks. Just signed up using mypoints . Same cancellation language of 8 days however point is pending till 23rd next month
The MyPoints offer doesn’t have Special Terms like the Swagbucks offer. In those terms it says “Offer applies to new and eligible returning subscribers only.” I have used Hulu before so I probably feel safer doing that offer even though it pays less.
1250 in my area
Shows 1250 SB for me!
