Update: Some people are reporting accounts being closed for no reason.
Update 5/1/23: This is now $125. Better than the $100 referral bonus if you’re not being referred by a friend/family member.
Update 9/28/22: Available again. Hat tip to reader TDD

The Offer
Available on Swagbucks
- Swagbucks is offering 8,000 Swagbucks (worth $80) when you sign up for Go2Bank and receive a direct deposit of $100+
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about as long as you maintain the direct deposit.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find any mention of any EATF.
Our Verdict
Sometimes we see Swagbucks/the bank increase the offer over time, so it might be worth waiting for a better version of this to come along. In saying that sometimes the offer disappears never to be seen again. I generally recommend sticking to bank bonuses that are $100+, but up to each individual.
