【2019.6 Update】You can now sign up for Hulu through Swagbucks and earn 3000SB (worth $30+). This offer has changed a bit: the 3000SB will pend for 32 days, and you cannot cancel your Hulu membership within those 32 days or the SB will be clawed back. So now you need to pay the first and second month’s $5.99 membership fee, which is one extra month compared to before, but you can still come out about $18 ahead. If you also have a Hulu BofA Deal or an AMEX Offer ($5 off $5), you can make even more. Detailed steps are below:
Note: Some people did this deal last year and found that it worked again when they clicked through this time. You may want to give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you may need to contact Hulu for a refund, so please weigh the risk yourself.

About This Deal
If you click through Swagbucks (a website where you earn points online) and subscribe to Hulu.com, you can earn 1300-3000 Swagbucks (worth $13-$30) while only paying one month of membership fees.
The best redemption option for SB is usually 2200SB for a $25 Amazon, Walmart, or Target gift card. 2500SB can also be redeemed directly for $25 in PayPal Credit.
A Hulu.com membership lets you watch a variety of TV shows. If you don’t need it anymore, be sure to cancel before next month’s billing date.
Each SB account can only get the Hulu.com deal once. These are usually limited-time deals, and once they expire, they’re gone.
How to Get It
The exact price and SB amount depend on the current promotion. The screenshots are only meant to show the process.

- Enjoy your Hulu membership and free SB
Stack with a Credit Card Deal
If you have a BofA credit card, it’s worth checking whether you have a Hulu BofA Deal for $7.99 back. If so, stacking it with this SB Hulu offer lets you come out another $7.99 ahead.
How to Cancel
You can cancel Hulu anytime. Just click this link:
- Hulu cancel account link (If you cancel within 8 days, the SB reward will be clawed back; canceling after about a month is recommended.)
Personally, I canceled a little over a month later (back when it was a 2-month free offer), and Swagbucks did not claw back the reward. In any case, according to the terms, just don’t cancel within 8 days.
Things to Keep in Mind
- If you cancel within 8 days, the SB reward will be clawed back; canceling after about a month is recommended
- You must click through from the Swagbucks link to Hulu.com and complete the subscription
- If Swagbucks does not track successfully, see: What to do if your Swagbucks reward doesn’t post
- The best-value redemption is saving up 2200SB for a $25 Amazon, Walmart, or Target gift card.
