Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the website, encountering issues like error codes and a general feeling of sketchiness. Customers frequently report problems with the pricing structure, finding the site extremely expensive due to the credit system required for every interaction. Additionally, the payment process itself was a source of frustration, with unexpected charges and difficulties purchasing credits. Reviewers also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the response time from the company, often receiving no replies to their inquiries. However, some customers also noted that they had met genuine individuals through the site and believed some profiles were real. A few other people also felt that the site still had genuine members, and some had even made good connections, though they acknowledged that the percentage of real profiles seemed to be decreasing.

Strong smell of fraud here

Strong smell of fraud here. they could give us a 3 day low introductory membership, instead of your $60 cash grab for 50 credits, if it was legit.
WE ALL KNOW THE GOOD REVIEWS HERE ARE FROM GUERILLA MARKETING. It was due to a FAKE CONVERSATION by the marketing dept ---posing as reedit members that led to me finding it. The fee structure is similiar to ASHLEY MADISON. Women reach out to you--doesn't happen in real life dating sites. MANY MANY women have face pics you can see--ALSO doesn't happen on a site of this nature.
The layout and cost are nearly identical to Ashley FAKE Madison, probably another site run by them. It's already been established they have bots and employees impersonating women. Seeing a few women who I have also seen on tinder. ONE I actually met off of match.com years ago. The SB profile doesn't match her age and height.
Wonder where they found all the "VERIFIED " women. Assume you answer an advertisement somewhere.

HAPPY TO UPLOAD PICTURES OF RUSSIAN MODELS WHO APPEAR AS MEMBERS IN LA.

Fraud, Fraud, Fraud!

This website is definitely all fake and the organization is acting in a fraudulent way by leading users to believe that they will get a response to their emails. I have belonged to this site for well over a year without being a paying member and each day I get 5 - 8 emails from young women - sometimes 2 letters from the same person. So I decided to join and pay to contact some of these women. Within 3 to 5 seconds after the SB screen showed that my payment was received I got hit with 12 - 15 emails all at once from women who's profile I had viewed in the past couple of days. Now they weren't all sitting there waiting for me to pay for membership to contact me - this is a programming feature of the SB website and a poor one at that because it released too many emails all at once for it to be believable. Anyway, I contacted a couple of women and got a generic one liner response like "Hey baby, how are you doing". They never responded to any of the questions I asked in my message to them and a second email from me went unanswered in both cases. Now that I'm a paying member I get about 1 or 2 emails a week. If this isn't fraud I don't know what is. You'll have better luck finding someone at the grocery store.

THE SITE IS STEALING MY IDENTITY

I tried to create an account last Friday but gave up after being notified that my phone number was "invalid." Since then, I have received several emails saying that my profile was liked and messaged by multiple accounts??? This is concerning to me, especially as I never actually went through with completing an account.

Since failing to get into contact with anyone in customer service (they will not reply to me regardless of the number of emails I send), I did my research and now understand that this is a common experience with this scam operation!! SBs sign up for an account but cannot access their profiles, and the actual SDs on the website are frustrated, thinking the women don't want to respond to their messages. Little do they know they legitimately cannot reply to their messages, and they are wasting their money trying to start a conversation!!! I can't even access my account to permanently delete my profiles, which is both disgusting and borderline identity theft, seeing as I never officially consented to my information being out there.

-0/10 would recommend. Don’t waste your time or money, they’re just going to steal your information and scam you out of your money.

One needs to be very careful when using Secret Benefits (SB). For those that are researching whether or not they should join SB, males need to buy tokens. Tokens are used to initiate messaging with a woman, respond to a woman that emailed you first, get access to a woman's private photos, and get access to a woman's private answers. From my understanding the woman on SB do not receive any portion on the tokens someone spends to communicate with them.

From my previous experience on SB and this last experience it would seem that many of the women that are on SB are fake. The reason I say this is that a woman, verified or not, will view my profile and send me a message. I will spend 10 tokens to read their message, which is usually a generic message, write them back, and maybe get a response 5% of the time. This from "women" that have viewed my profile and initiated contact. This does not include the countless number of "women" that just favorite me and/or send a message without viewing my profile. Previous experience in replying to these messages have a much less respond rate than messages from "women" that have viewed my profile. These I suspect are bots created by SB in order to have the male members spend and buy tokens.

If you are planning on joining SB I have a few recommendations to help save tokens. Instead of sending a message to a woman favorite her instead and see if she views your profile. Don't open a message from anyone that has not viewed your profile.

Final not is the SB has another site called SugarDaddy.com. This site has all of the same profiles as SB does.

Minimum credits you can buy is 200 (20 messages), which is $89 USD. It used to be 100 credits. They even pretend that it's because they care about you finding a match (and needing all these messages to do it). Such bleeding hearts. Hilarious.

Scam

What a scam they use old profiles and some how the old profiles say they are online,I've spent hundreds of dollars messaged up to 50+ girls and Maybe 3 answered me.
These so called girls will message you then you have to use your credits to open the message up you respond to them and don't answer back,this site should be shut down total SCAM!!

Seems to be full of fake messages, & with fewer features than other sites

This site has fewer features, costs more to use actively, and has more apparent fraudulent female members & messages than other online dating sites I have tried, including the sugar dating site that used to be abbreviated SA and now just S. (I dislike that site a lot, but Secret Benefits is significantly worse.) I have chatted with several women who seem to be nice and attractive. But those have been rare exceptions: Most women send a meaningless message, which I suspect is generated by the website rather than by real women, since many of the messages are identical, something like: "Hi. Get to know me." To read that, one had to spend 10 points. And I have read over a dozen of those and got no further communication once I wrote back (with some uncontroversial statement about myself and no requests or demands). The problem is, the man has to spend 10 points to read this worthless, likely machine-generated message. Same with access to secret photos, as other reviewers have mentioned -- frequently, I've spent 10 points to see photos similar to (and sometimes identical to) the public ones. Often, that means the secret photos don't show her face, either. The shortcomings of the interface for this site are also manifest: There's no indication on profiles whether the woman has children or not or her marital status, which are important considerations for many men, and many of the profiles don't even have basic information like height or body type. The site has a very limited word-count for the descriptions of yourself and what you're seeking, making it hard to provide a full description of either. And on the flip side, there's no minimum word count for the descriptions, unlike on some other sites, and so many of the women's profiles don't even have any words that they've chosen to describe themselves or what they're seeking. There are no time-stamps on messages, so you don't know when she wrote you, or when you replied. There's no way to make notes about a member, unlike on other sites. There's no way to indicate you're not interested in a profile (and so save yourself the time of looking at it again at some point and seeing it in searches over and over again) other than permanently blocking the person. The site is not advertised as having women only from the U.S., but I have not been able to enter any city in the Search form that is not in the U.S. The most dysfunctional aspect of the site is that, when you are looking at a woman's profile (e.g., because she's on your list of women whom you have "Favorited," or on the list of women who've requested to see your private photos, there's no indication whether she has written you before. No indication that she has "Favorited" you, either. As far as I can tell, the only way to determine whether she's already written you is to go back to the Inbox and search through the messages (which are not in an order I can decipher, and definitely don't have all the active conversations at the top), which of course there are dozens or hundreds of, due to the plethora of meaningless, one-line messages. I never thought I'd say this, but the SA site, now just S, although expensive for men is a better deal, with a way more effective interface and with many more real women who are interested in talking and meeting, in my experience.

No response to my emails from this company!!!

I have been on this site best part of two years and met a lot of girls. It has been good. However recently I tried to buy more credits and my card was declined I tried another card same thing happened. I’m not sure why. I have sent a number of messages to their contact helpdesk but not had any reply to any of them. What’s going on???? There used to be occasional messages sent out from them that has stopped. Has something happened to this company ?????????

If I could give this site zero stars ai would! SB is the only app I know that saves all your email address and phone numbers so you can never use them to sign up again. The selection of men on there you find on POF, Hinge or Tinder hell maybe even facebook dating just broke trying to get laid. I called the company out for storing peoples personal data and information for forever! I told them no other dating sites do this but you ..they didn’t reply back the company needs to be investigated just for that purpose.

Worth a shot

I think that it is a great dating service and the women are beautiful with hot bodies. Credits instead of monthly fee is an interesting idea. It seems once you start a convo that it stays open, so for those that like to chat a while before meeting will appreciate that.

I signed up because I appreciate older and accomplished guys but I don’t get as much attention as I want because many are telling me they don’t like my goth look but I have met a few guys that are still wanting to meet.

User friendly and practical dating site

I was admittingly a bit sceptical when i first joined the site. Not knowing what to expect but then over the next few days was amazed how easy it was to chat with some very beautiful babes who messaged me back and have started up some amazing chats with them. Will meet up tonight with my first match tonight so pretty nervous for things to go well.

Don't do it!

£2.70 (at today's exchange rate) to read a message, £2.70 to see if its been read. £2.70 to "boost" the message and £2.70 to see extra pictures - nothing special. What do you get for that? A couple of pictures and "Hello, hru?". You may get a couple more replies a day or so later but then they stop.

As Graham said, most positive reviews on here are from "Ladies". I guess they're trying to appeal to women so that they can build up a decent user base and don't have to rely on administrators to do the work?
Buyer Beware!

Fake scammer site.

I've been a male member on SB under different profiles and different emails for a number of years.... with a goal to identify scammer sites. Despite spending almost £500, not once have I been able to meet anyone, I am a successful, attractive guy, making 6 figures doing what I do, so here is my report on the site.

Girls have multiple profiles.
Photos are often AI generated.
Photos are stolen.
'Verified' profiles claiming to be in the UK are usually American.
A lot of profiles are prostitutes / escorts.
Those that do respond stop responding very quickly even when offering holidays, shopping or trips.
Mobile numbers given are often of scammers or 'business' WhatsApp accounts.

All in all this site is a scam and needs to be shut down.

Additionally, if you notice a lot of reviews for this site are 'girls' claiming to be site members, I can almost guarantee they are fake accounts designed to keep the site ratings on trust pilot high.

traditional, but not traditional.

I’m honestly still getting used to the ins and outs of this type of dating. It is fun but can be very confusing with the guys on here sometimes. It’s supposed to be upfront with what you are looking for but it seems like a LOT of the guys I’m dating from this site have caught feelings beyond the agreement of our relationship very quickly. I get that I’m younger and prettier than many are used to, but it’s kind of a turnoff when they start confessing their love after like a month, haha.

I believe that Secret Benefits is a…scam

I believe that Secret Benefits is a scam. There is no way in the world that all of the girls on the search pages are online all of the time. I believe the girls are bots. I do not believe the girls are real. Or if they are real they are getting paid to have short message conversations with men so the men pay for more coins. I would definitely not recommend that anyone use Secret Benefits. it is a waste of time and a waste of money.

A scam

A scam.

I signed up a couple of months ago.

Every day, attractive women making contact.

To date 180 women. Access granted to their secret photos.

Last night I paid for 500 credits. Previous attempts, the bank blocked payment. Flagged as dodgy website. At least I was warned. I foolishly authorised payment.

This morning, 500 credits already gone. Had I used 500 credits? This I doubt.

10 credits to read and respond to a message. 10 credits to access secret photos.

The messages, trivia, like how are you?

The secret photos, no different to the public photos.

And the responses, once paid the credits? None. OK, a couple responded, then nothing.

The 5* rating on Trust Pilot, appears to be part of the scam.

Be warned, don't pay for any credits.
