Last year people said that the golden age of credit card bonuses was over (something I don’t really agree with, but that’s another post). I noticed a lot of people wished that they’d gotten into credit card sign up “hobby” earlier to take advantage of all the great deals.
Well I’m here to tell you that we are currently experiencing the golden age of bank account bonuses and you should get involved before the good times end. At the moment it seems like we’ve hit a nice mix of having lots of people interested in these bonuses (meaning more people are looking for them and providing useful information about different bonuses and banks/credit unions), without hitting that critical mass that causes the good times to end.
If you’re new to bank account bonuses, then I’ve made things pretty easy for you. Start by reading through our beginners guide to these bonuses found here. If you’re still hesitant, then read our post on common misconceptions. Once you’ve done that pick one of the best bonuses listed here and read through our post carefully (as well as any comments in the post).
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect to earn $1,000-$2,000+ in your first year of doing these bonuses. In addition it’s often possible to initially fund an account with a credit card, meaning you can hit credit card minimum spend requirements or just earn some extra rewards.
Remember to also contribute your data points to make signing up for bonuses easier for everybody involved, we have dedicated pages for this below:
- Bank Accounts That Can Be Funded With A Credit Card
- List Of Methods Banks Count As Direct Deposits
- Is Opening A Bank Account A Soft Or Hard Pull?
- Banks & Credit Unions That Are ChexSystems Inquiry Sensitive
- What Banks & Credit Unions Do/Don’t Pull ChexSystems?
- Complete List Of Ways To Close Bank Accounts At Each Bank
- Banks That Allow/Don’t Allow Out Of State Checking Applications
Also just a friendly reminder that we don’t use bank account affiliate links. In fact whenever possible we try to convince financial institutions to give our readers a better deal rather trying to pay us. You can say thank you to this site by helping us find more bank bonuses to share with everybody, you can read more about how to do that here.
