Our Verdict

Swagbucks was originally offering 2,500 then 3,000 then 5,000, 7,500 and now 30,000. I didn’t think the bonus was worth doing at the lower levels, but at $300 this is definitely worth doing and will be adding it our best bank account bonuses.

If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.

  • NorthOne recently offered a targeted incentive/bonus of $100, by depositing $1,000. No other restrictions.

    Decent gift for existing account holders.

  • Keeping my account open because free offers such as $20 off $20 for lunch or w/e or $5 off $5 for coffee. Thanks

  • I previously signed up for NorthOne through SwagBucks for points, in August. At beginning September I closed my account. Today, December 22, I used a friend's referral link to try to sign up using a different email and phone number for a referral bonus, and it worked! The application finished in 10 minutes, funded $50 right away, and the $75 bonus credited instantly.

    So if you've closed your account after getting your SwagBucks but haven't gotten a referral bonus, I would at least try :)

  • There is a new referral promotion for northone, deposit $50 and get $75. Right now the swagbucks offer looks like a better deal though @will @chucksithe
