Our Verdict

If you’re new to Upside you should also be able to stack it with whatever the current referral bonus is. Keep in mind the referral bonus has been as high as $250 in gift cards for a $400+ travel booking. If you’re new I’d personally wait for a better offer as even with this $100 for Acorns you won’t be able to get close to that spend $400, get $250 back in gift card deal. This deal is better suited to existing Upside customers. If you’re new to Acorns, I’d recommend signing up via a referral found here.
