Update 10/17/23: Swagbucks is at $50 now; MyPoints is similar at 8,500 points
Update 3/24/23: The Swagbucks bonus is now expired. The others are still available.

The Offer
Swagbucks offer | $10 offer | $50 offer | $100 existing customer offer
There appears to be four separate Plynk bonus offers which can result in a new member getting $260 in bonuses:
- Signup via the Swagbucks offer page and get 10,000 SB ($100) when you open an account, link your bank, and fund your account with $25 or more. Swagbucks will pend for 32 days.
- Update: I’m seeing $100 on Swagbucks and a reader sent that in as well. However, most readers are seeing $25, $50, or $75.
- There’s a standard $10 signup bonus which can be seen on their homepage and on their bonus page. No requirements other than signing up for a new account. (This should stack on top of the Swagbucks bonus.)
- The Swagbucks page and the Plynk promotion page both mention a separate $50 bonus from Plynk after you link a bank and deposit $25 into your new account.
- There’s a separate existing customer bonus to get up to $100 when you have two recurring deposits.
- I imagine there’s a dedicated ‘Recurring Deposit’ option within the Plynk app which you use to set up automated recurring deposits. Let us know if you have more information.
Our Verdict
The $100 Swagbucks offer and $50 from Plynk are clearly showing together on the Swagbucks offer page. I’m pretty sure that the standard $10 Plynk signup bonus will be added as well. The $100 matching bonus is for existing customers, and we’ve written about it before; I don’t see why a new customer couldn’t do that bonus as well.
Altogether, it should be relatively easy to get $260 in bonuses for new customers:
- Sign up using the Swagbucks instructions (special care for iOS users to follow the Swagbucks instructions)
- During signup, link your bank and fund your account with $25
- Make two recurring deposits of $100 each before June 23, 2023 (I imagine there’s a ‘Recurring Investment’ option somewhere in the app)
- Leave the funds in Plynk for 30 days after the second recurring investment
- Get $100 in Swagbucks bonus and $160 from Plynk
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
Swagbucks just went to $75, Mypoints about $86.
Finally able to withdraw the last bonus funds. I had to message before they were made available.
Has anyone closed their account yet? if so, is it easy to do?
Very easy — click through on app.
I opened my account March 23 with $25. I had 3 $100 deposits and received $100 match today. My account shows $485 balance (includes $10, $50, $100 bonuses).
Did anybody actually receive the recurring deposit bonus who wasn’t targeted? My third one just went through and nadda (30 days has passed since 2nd processed). Received the initial deposit and the swagbucks right away however.
Thanks for the reminder. My 2nd “recurring” deposit (only two were required) went thru 4/26… but they have 30 days to pay. I have a feeling it’s going to be a fight, stating that I already got $100 in March for the initial deposit match.
The $100 recurring match was paid out today… 4 days after my 3rd recurring deposit. I didn’t think I should stop the recurring transfer until the bonus was paid out.
Matt
I received it for both P1 and P2, but I needed to send them a PM. Paid out in under 24 hours both times.
Me, but I asked to be included
I made no requests to be “added”. Just went off what Chuck had promoted in the above post.
Expect to wait three months to get your bonus. I had the $100 bonus deposited to my account on Feb. 1. I tried to circumvent the 90-day waiting period to withdraw by buying stocks — I held the first one for four days before selling and still couldn’t withdraw. Then, I tried again with another stock that I held seven days before selling and I still couldn’t withdraw.
The 90-day mark passed this week, and it still showed in my account that I didn’t have any money available to withdraw. I had to submit a ticket through the “Contact Us” section of the app and got a very quick response that the money would be available tomorrow, May 4. Fingers crossed it is!
Did it show up, my money still can’t be withdrawn
3/23 Opened account with 30 and 25 separate funds –

I just got a targeted email for the recurring deposit bonus (up to $100 match during the second month recurring deposit). Mine is set now for $100 deposit on 24th of the month, starting next week, so I should get mine May 24th. If I remember I’ll update data point.
So far got 6000 Mypoints, $10 opening bonus, $100 matching bonus, waiting on the $100 recurring deposit match.
Has anyone received the recurring deposits bonus yet? My second consecutive $100 recurring deposit posted on 4/14, nothing yet.
Did you ever end up getting it?
Nope, still nothing
My second recurring deposit was also on 4/14, but no $100 bonus yet (as of 5/16). It should come through this week!
Update – Plynk support told me that my $100 bonus would be posted by the end of this week.
where is the recurring deposit bonus promotion showing up for people? I cannot find it in the app
I already mentioned that you won’t see that offer in the app, it’s only listed on the promo page, so you have to have faith that they are going to honor it.
