Our Verdict
We’ve written about a similar Public investing offer from Swagbucks, and they’ve now added the bundle deal which makes it more lucrative. Note: it’s possible doing the Savvy insurance quote will result in some spam; consider using a backup email address and Google Voice number, etc. Opening a new investment app might also mean an additional tax form to deal with at tax time.
Reader YTHO notes that there’s also an offer from Chime to get $20 if you fund your Public account with the Chime debit card.

Somehow after clicking on the link, it’d redirect and take me back to the same page, no matter how many times I do it?
Click the links higher on the page
Did you ever get this to work? I’m getting the same thing as you when I click ‘Continue’ and I’m not sure where the link higher on the page is (as referenced below)? TIA!
Yes, what
mothman69 69 said! And do note as well that Savvy only works with select insurance partners that allow Savvy to login to your account and retrieve the information that way. Otherwise, it won’t track.
Fyi the in app SUB and learn to earn are locked for a year. Also I believe you should be able to get $50 in learn and earn, that’s what I got
Shiiit did not realize it was a whole year. That’s annoying.
Treat it as a one year loan with $4.99 monthly payments. Hopefully you can buy a stock that can beat that
There’s a pay by trade version without the $4.99 monthly fee. That’s what I’m on.
How did you change to that one?
Cool I’ll try that out
Cool! I asked them so quickly I never had the first post. So weird a brokerage in 2021 charges monthly fees.
Completed this 8/28. 3k bonus just posted.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine posted as well today.
Did this through MP on 8/24. 1700pts for Savvy and 6000pts for Public went pending immediately on 8/24. Today, I submitted ticket for missing 5,300 bonus points for doing both offers. They responded with posting the 5,300pts for Public+Savvy bonus. plus a second 6000pts for Public. ?? Not complaining on this one. They did miss to pay for the Sunbasket + Stash offer back in June. Got the Stash points, but they never paid for Sunbasket and the bonus of that offer.
Anyone else not receive the 3,000 SB bonus yet? It said it should have posted by 8/27/2021. Both the Savvy and the Public offers show as pending, but still no bonus points.
No. Still waiting for 3000 SB bonus
Does anyone get the bonus points for completing these offers on Mypoints? As far as I remember they said they would award in August.
I did not. SB fine print said it would post by 9/3. I submitted a ticket today.
Can’t find it on MP, link goes to an error page. Did it on SB, both offers went pending immediately.
If you do not have a current car insurance, can you still do the Savvy?
Savvy requires your current insurance account log in, if you manually select to match, mypoints would not track. It seems that registration to Savvy means you giving your insurance account ID and password to Savvy, is it true to who already did this offer?
Savvy pended immediately. 2 hours later, still nothing from Public
Oddly enough I had the exact opposite thing!
Same here. Savvy, I think, will only work for those insurance providers that it partners with. I am with State Auto and it’s not in their list of insurance partners that allows Savvy to login and retrieve the insurance information automatically.
Last time I did Savvy on Mypoints it didn’t track and today I tried it again this time with my phone and like someone mentioned I received an email from Mypoints for pending bonus as soon as I linked my Geico account. Public offer is not pending yet though.
You actually need a policy
I currently have an auto insurance with Geico and I don’t know if you can sign up without a poilcy.
