About Swagbucks

Swagbucks is a fairly comprehensive cashback platform. On Swagbucks, you can earn money in a variety of ways, including filling out surveys, watching videos, clicking promotional pages, searching web content, shopping, playing games, and downloading apps. If you’re not familiar with Swagbucks, check out our previous introduction:

If you don’t already have a Swagbucks account, feel free to sign up using the referral link:

Swagbucks has quite a few good bank account opening offers, and here is a quick summary.

Open a SoFi account and get 15000SB back on Swagbucks (worth $150) + up to $250 opening bonus

Opening a SoFi account through Swagbucks gives you 15000SB (worth $150). You can find the offer link by searching for SoFi on the Swagbucks homepage:

After opening the account, deposit at least $50 within 30 days. It does not have to be a direct deposit, so this bonus is very easy to earn. If you don’t already have a SoFi checking account, don’t miss this one.

You can also stack the online account-opening bonus, as follows:

  • Get a $50 bonus for direct deposits of $1,000-$4,999 within 30 days of account opening
  • Get a $250 bonus for direct deposits of $5,000 or more within 30 days of account opening

Open a Chime account and get 23000SB back on Swagbucks (worth $230) + $100 referral bonus

The Chime account has no monthly fee and no minimum deposit requirement. For a detailed introduction to Chime, see our post:

Applying through a link from Swagbucks or Mypoints can get you 23000SB (worth $230) or 39100pts (worth $260):

You can also stack a $100 referral bonus. To do so, you need to make a $200 direct deposit within 45 days after opening the account. First, open the Chime referral link in Google Chrome (although we won’t use this link to apply later):

Then open a new web page in the browser and log in to your Swagbucks or Mypoints account. Search for Chime on your Swagbucks or Mypoints homepage to find the offer, complete the application through that link, and then make at least a $200 direct deposit within 30 days of opening the account. That way, you can trigger both the referral bonus and the portal bonus, and end up with a total of $360 in rewards.

Customers can use a Go2Bank account for everyday banking, including deposits, bill payments, transfers, and purchases with a debit card.

AXOS opening bonus: 15000SB (worth $150) + $100 opening bonus

AXOS accounts have no monthly fee and no minimum deposit requirement. The current opening bonus on Swagbucks is 15000SB (worth $150). To earn the bonus, you only need to deposit $750 after opening the account; it does not need to be a direct deposit, so this bonus is also very easy to earn.
