What cookiebonus.com claims

The landing page I located shows an offer that says something like: “Student Offer: Get a $100 Crumbl Cookies Gift Card | Crumbl invites students to take a short survey about their favorite cookies. As a thank you, you’ll receive a $100 gift-card — valid for cookies…” (cookiebonus.com)
So the site positions itself as a “bonus” or “gift card” promotion tied to Crumbl Cookies (which is a bonafide cookie company).

What raises concern

  1. Affiliation is unclear: There’s no obvious indication that Crumbl Cookies is officially involved in this website. The site claims “student offer” and “survey” but I couldn’t easily verify from the corporate site of Crumbl that this is a legally sanctioned promotion by them.

  2. Reddit feedback: On the Reddit forum for Crumbl Cookies, someone posted:

    “They get a commission for people that use the code/ put in their info on the websites they put in the middle slides. It’s a scam.” (Reddit)
    That suggests at least one person treats this type of offer as dubious.

  3. Standard scam markers: Asking for personal info in exchange for a “free” high-value gift card or bonus is a common tactic in many scams. The “survey → big gift card” format is classic.

  4. No trust signals: I didn’t find publicly (at least in the sources I reviewed) independent validation that cookiebonus.com is backed by Crumbl or that the gift cards are guaranteed. Without verification, the risk of mis-use of your data or being led into additional “offers” is real.

What to do if you’re considering it

  • Verify directly with Crumbl Cookies: Contact Crumbl’s customer support or check their official site to see if they list the “$100 student gift card” promotion.

  • Check domain history: Use tools like WHOIS lookup to see how long cookiebonus.com has been around, ownership details, etc. Short registration time + private registration = more red flag.

  • Avoid giving sensitive data: If the site asks for full SSNs, payment info, or extremely personal data in order to “unlock” the gift card, stop. Legitimate promotions don’t require that.

  • Look for reviews: Search for “cookiebonus.com scam” or “cookiebonus.com review” to see what others’ experiences have been.

  • Use cautious email / login credentials: If you decide to engage, don’t give your main email or password used elsewhere; treat it as higher risk.

  • Watch for hidden costs: Some “free offers” ask you to pay shipping, sign up for subscriptions, or complete many hidden steps — those can turn into unwanted commitments.

My assessment

Given the info, I lean toward cookiebonus.com being not reliable. It might be a case of “enter your data → big reward promised” but with unclear delivery, potential upsells, or data harvesting. I wouldn’t trust it blindly as “free $100 gift card” until I found solid proof that the promotion is officially backed by Crumbl.

Key takeaways

  • The site claims a $100 gift card for a survey, tied to Crumbl Cookies.

  • There’s no clear proof the promotion is legitimate or officially endorsed by Crumbl.

  • One Reddit user alleges it could be a scam (commission/referral angle).

  • Proceed with caution: verify, avoid giving sensitive info, look out for hidden conditions.

FAQ

Q: Is the gift card guaranteed if I do the survey?
A: Not proven. The site promises a reward, but I found no independent verification that the reward will be delivered.

Q: Could this be a phishing or data-collection trap?
A: Possibly yes. Promises of “free money/gift cards” in exchange for data are common phishing or shady-marketing tactics.

Q: What happens if I already gave my info?
A: Monitor your email/online accounts for unusual activity. Consider changing passwords or enabling two-factor authentication. Be alert for offers to “unlock” the card by sharing more info or paying a fee — that’s a strong warning sign.

Q: How can I check if it’s real?
A: Contact Crumbl Cookies directly. Search for this promotion on their official site. Check domain registration details for cookiebonus.com. Look for other users’ experiences.

Q: Is there any scenario where this is safe?
A: Possibly if you treat it as a low-risk trial: use a throwaway email, don’t commit to anything, and don’t provide valuable personal details. But even then the benefit is uncertain.
