Our Verdict
Pretty good offer as you can net $21 if you cancel after three months, aside some extra credit card points (best card for charity here) and possibly a tax deduction. Some people don’t like doing offers which are profiting from charity. As always, do what you’re comfortable with.
A few things to keep before doing this offer:
- Charity donation recipients usually spam you a lot with mailers for a long time afterward. In similar situations, I’ve had success emailing them to take me off the mailing list.
- 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.
- Remember to cancel after the third month if you don’t want to continue the donation. Mark it down on your calendar or set yourself a reminder.
