Our Verdict
Swagbucks are worth at least 1¢ each making this a $7 moneymaker. The deal especially makes sense for someone who finds their product interesting to try out. You can also stay subscribed for two paid months and get 800 SB, but that will cost $25+ for those two months and only makes sense if you want the service.
Looks like they physically ship something out too, aside from the digital access, so using a fake address with Privacy.com might not work well. Hopefully, they don’t spam mail you afterward, I don’t know.
A couple things to keep in mind:
- Remember to cancel before the second charge in November if you don’t want the service to continue. Sounds like you can disable the auto-renew online without having to call in. Use a virtual account number if you want added assurance.
- 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.
