The Fine Print

  • Must spend $2.98 on shipping and handling to earn SB

Our Verdict

Swagbucks are worth at least one cent per point, and you’ll net $7 on this deal, plus 2 free books. It’s especially worthwhile for someone who is interested in trying out Highlights or someone with kids who will enjoy the books. Might not be worth the hassle otherwise.

Remember to set yourself a reminder to evaluate if you should cancel the subscription before the next one ships. Shipments are “about every three weeks”. You’ll have to call in to cancel; Customer Service number is 1-888-372-6433. Seems like it’s possible to cancel online as well.

Update: I was able to cancel online too. Also, readers note that they charge you for the second subscription in just like 11 days from the first, so cancel fast.

Points posted instantly for me. Just bear in mind that with other Swagbucks deals, some people have had 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 $5 by using a referral link.

Just did this using a prepaid master card (that I got from SB) no credit yet. It’s the middle of the week so I’ll give it by tmrw for it to credit (they charged me $3.24 instantly) and if not I’ll make a ticket with SB since I’m unaware which is the main host for this offer…

Heads up, they charged me for the second order 11 days after the first. I cancelled future shipments online, and I’ll call to see if they can cancel/refund this one.

I logged in and cancelled when I saw the pending charge for the 2nd order, and it never actually posted.

man any site that has the url “order-safely” makes my spidey senses tingle. hella suspect. I really wanna go thru w this but not if its an elaborate phishing scam to get all your CC info.

maybe I’ll use a one-time Citi virtual acct number like suggested above that way they cant abuse my credit card tho I suppose I don’t feel comfortable giving em any personal info for a mere $7. hmm

Many thanks! Points posted instantly for me, too. The books will probably be way too advanced for my 7-month-old, but it’s hard to argue with free.

Tip: If you have a Citi card, use the Virtual Account Number tool (https://www.cardbenefits.citi.com/Products/Virtual-Account-Numbers) to generate a credit card number with a $10 limit. That way if you forget to cancel within the grace period Highlights will have to contact you for payment.

Ordered yesterday afternoon, but didn’t get any confirmation so far, not a single email.

Confirmation came one business day later for me (after I already redeemed for Amazon GCs and redeemed them).
