Bonuses have increased again, so reposting. Previously first month was 5,000, it’s now 7,500. Hat tip to reader Andrew H.
The Offer
- Donate $33/month to ChildFund International and get 7,500 SB the first month
- Get 4,000 SB the second and third month if you continue your monthly donation
- Get 1,000 SB each of the next three months and 2,000 SB the seventh month if you continue
First month you’ll net $42 and the next two months you’ll net $7 each since SB are worth at least 1 penny each. Subsequent months there’ll be a cost for continuing to donate.

Our Verdict
Remember to use your SB email for the donation. Also bear in mind they might send you solicitation mailers in the future.
You might also get tax-deductible benefits by doing this deal aside from the $54 net. I think the first month’s donation is triggering instant SB, future month might go pending first for 45 days according to the fine print.
Some people are not comfortable with these deals since it might be the charity is losing on them. We think it’s worth giving readers the information and letting them make an informed decision.
A couple things to keep in mind:
- Remember to cancel when you no longer want to donate. Contact Child Fund to cancel.
- 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. In this case, it might be possible to just cancel the order quickly if the Swagbucks don’t post.
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.
