  • This offer may only be redeemed (1) one time per user.

Our Verdict

2500 Swagbucks is worth at least $25. This Hulu/Swag offer goes up and down between 1,500 and 2,800 point.

We’ve posted about this offer before, but now lots of people are signing up for free Hulu due to a generous $50 off $50 Amex Offer which basically gives it to us for free for a number of months.

Well, moneymaker is better than free! Why not make $25 along the way by signing up through Swagbucks.

Note: The Amex terms state that you have to signup through a dedicated page athulu.com/start/amex, but I’m confident that won’t matter and any ordinary Hulu subcription charge will trigger the offer, as has been the case in the past.

If you did the Swagbucks offer in the past, you probably won’t be able to do it again. I’ve done it in the past, and when I click through from Swagbucks it errors out.

You might also be able to earn bonus Plenti points by signing up for Hulu or by watching movies. I don’t see anything right now in my Plenti account, but there have been some deals in the past.

 

If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $5 by using a referral link.

This is from Amex offers page, indicates that cumulative charges will count for $50 sum:


OFFER TERMS

Note that if you sign up for Hulu’s service at hulu.com/start/amex, your Hulu account will not be eligible for a free trial period and a $7.99 (Limited Commercials plan) or $11.99 (No Commercials plan) monthly subscription fee, plus applicable taxes, will apply after sign-up. Offer valid online only at hulu.com or hulu.com/start/amex. Eligible purchases applied towards this offer must be completed by 5/23/18. Offer is non-transferable.

so, 4 month x12 = 48 not enough to trigger

5 month x12 = 60 so – 50 end up paying 10?

How do you get the full $25? The cheapest plan is $7.99. I don’t have the Amex offer.

doc, thanks for letting us know about this deal. Yet serious question, how exactly does one pay for more than one month? I started via my swagbucks account, then from there, it goes over to the new Hulu account sign-up — saw the options for the three different types of Hulu Accounts; clicked for the $11.99/mo option — entered my cc info, then ….. it signed me up??? I never saw an option to change # of months. Instead, my amex card has already been billed the 11.99. Called up a friendly rep. who had no idea how to pay for more than one month at a time???

Interestingly, the swagbucks bonus did quickly post.

But how do we get it pay for $50 at a time?

To hazard an answer to my own query, from within your original thread, I gather than the promo will kick in cumulatively…. and apparently the amex offer will trigger once the $50 threshold is passed (after multiple monthly charges). Please correct me if I surmise incorrectly.

same question? anyone previously got the credit from amex in the past on cumulative total?

Dan, The slickdeals threat for the amex/hulu offer appears to have multiple reports to this effect, of the credit kicking in after the similar past promo totals reached.

Chuck, is/was this your understanding too?

For those who don’t use SB like me, may consider Plenti instead (1000 pts). Well much less than SB, but better than nothing

Just used your referral link and signed up using my Amex offer. Thanks! Glad I didn’t sign up a few hours ago and decided to wait until after lunch.

The points are in my account. I’ve never used SB before, how long before I can cash them out?

correct. My own swagbucks for this deal posted almost instantly. (and is available for use now. Did see the print/warning that if I’d cancel account within 8 days, they could retract it.)
