The Offer
- Crypto.com is offering $25 of CRO when you set up direct deposit for the first time and complete one or more direct deposits totaling at least USD 400
Our Verdict
I guess this might be worth doing if you already have a crypto.com account and can easily change your direct deposit. There are of course much better bank account bonuses out there that require direct deposit.
Hat tip to reader AS
There’s a new signup deal with Swagbucks: Make a purchase of $15 crypto and get $30 SB. I received this promo in my swagbucks inbox, but I don’t know if it’s targeted. Usually, you can get $25 CRO through referral bonus, while the swagbucks deal is $5 more.
The cheapest way I found is to deposit $20 through instant deposit from your bank (linked via Plaid) and use the $20 deposit to buy $20 USDC. (Minimum deposit through instant deposit is $20.) I received $30 swagbucks in a few minutes after the purchase. There is no fee to convert USDC back to USD, and it’s also free to withdraw USD back to your bank account.

Wise did NOT count as a qualifying direct deposit, even with the reference field trick
Treasury Direct push did not count as DD but as “USD Deposit (via ACH)”. Sent in a request to see if they will consider it as a DD. Also, this offer ends on 3/16
Hmmm on 4/11 got 61.37 CRO as a competition reward. I guess that’s this bonus?
FYI even though you can deposit to the crypto.com account via another bank, you can’t withdraw from the crypto.com account via another bank. Reading the terms, you can only initiate withdrawals from crypto.com
ETFCU push did not count as DD but as “USD Deposit (via ACH)”
For those who are considering signing up, please be aware that this platform was hacked very recently, especially if you plan to put a decent amount of funds on here. User beware.
Seems they are missing a 0. No way would I open a crypto account for a measly $25
when you spend all your money on the staples center, i guess you can’t afford growth marketing LOL
I guess it depends on if it’s a direct deposit or a “direct deposit” that’s required here whether it’s worth it or not.
Been waiting for a crypto.com deal that didn’t require staking a bunch of money in a volatile coin. Looks like there is a 1000 SB offer on Swagbucks for something (via the Swagbutton) but I can’t find it anywhere on the website. Hope it stacks
I see. I clicked a few times on the link before and a few times after opening so we’ll see if it works.
Bigger deal in my opinion is the 10% APY on stablecoins.
