SecretBenefits

To sign up to SecretBenefits just complete the form on the home page. You'll need to create a screen name and provide a valid email address and your age. From there, you'll be able to go right into the account area.

Searching

There is a comprehensive search system on SecretBenefits. You can narrow your choice down by any aspect of appearance such as body type, hair color, height, a certain ethnicity, age, and more. This way you can almost create your own perfect date. Going too far does though limit the number of matches.

Helpfully you can filter out profiles that don't have a photo as well as members who haven't been verified. Another useful feature is the recently active button. If you select that option, it removes profiles of people who haven't logged in for a while and who may no longer be active on the site.

To view any profile you just need to click on the picture. From there you can see all of their public photos. If he or she has created a private photo album you can only see those pictures if they give you permission to do so.

Matches

Clicking the matches button will take you to a separate area that shows you your favorites as well as any other member who's favorited your profile. It tells you who's visited your profile and it gives you a list of any private albums you've been given permission to view.

Messaging and Upgrades

As a free member on SecretBenefits you won't be able to contact anyone by sending them messages. While you will be able to browse and create lists of favorites, as soon as you try to message someone, you'll be taken to the payment screen.

SecretBenefits doesn't have any monthly subscriptions. Upgrades work on a credit system. You buy a certain number of credits and these enable you to do things on the site including contacting other members. The credits don't expire. Once you buy credits, you'll be able to use them to unlock any conversations that you have in your mailbox. You also need credits to view private photos and videos.

Verification is optional. If you choose to verify your profile, you will need to send in a picture of yourself holding something that displays the date, and your screen name.

There do not appear to be many verified profiles though because if you choose this setting in the search, the number of matches drops from hundreds down to one or two.
