Swagbucks/MP: Get $150 + $100 For Opening Axos Checking Account

Update 1/30/23: The $150 Swagbucks part is still around. The Axos part of the bonus is down to $100 now.

Update 1/6/22: The $150 offer from Axos has been extended through 1/11/23. We don’t know the expiration on the Swabucks part.

Update 12/26/22: The Swagbucks to $150. Looks like there’s also $150 from Axos with 3 months of $1,000 direct deposits when you use promo code HOLIDAY. That makes $300 total possible.

Update 9/8/22: There’s now 12,000 (around $75-$80) on MyPoints, $65 on Swagbucks, and $80 on Rebatesme. This stacks nicely with the $300 bonus for $380 total bonus.

The Offer

  • Swagbucks is offering 15,000 ($150) for opening a new Axos checking account and deposing $750.

Avoiding Fees

This checking account does not have any monthly fees.

Our Verdict

We have seen Axos at $300 before so this isn’t the best ever, but the combination of $150 SB and $150 from Axos could still be a nice deal.

These Swagbucks won’t get a Form 1099 and may or may not be taxable (please consult your tax advisor on this), in which case its value would be higher. There are no fees and there are no requirements other than the $750 deposit for the Swagbucks side of the deal.

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

  • It says the two bonuses cannot be stacked together in the SB description. Besides, the $300 bonus is not a great one anyway as it requires a $5000 deposit per month for 7 months.

  • Bonus seems to be up to $300 now. Possible to stack with SB $150..? Potential $450 bonus.
    Edit: My bad. I see that is already posted as a new post. Pls ignore

  • 8/8/23 Opened Axos Checking account with a referral code and stacked with Swagbucks 15000 SBs.
    8/10/23 15000 SBs pending. Expected payout date 9/9/23.
    8/16/23 Pushed $1,555 from Cap360 Checking to Axos.
    8/31/23 $100 bonus received.
    9/9/23 15000 SBs credited.

    • What promo code did you use? The one I see currently (SunnyBonus) has much higher DD and longer (7mos!) continued deposits required…granted its a $300 bonus, but I’d happily take the one you had for much less headache!

  • DP
    Super quick and easy.
    7/24/23 Opened
    7/27/23 $751 deposit from Ally - swagbucks tracked (orange circle)
    7/29/23 15000 swagbucks went pending for 8/22 payout
    7/31/23 $751 deposit from Ally
    7/31/23 $100 cashback from Axos posted

    Bottom line Ally still works as a fake direct deposit

  • MyPoints is at $200 now.
    I successfully opened a new axos account from the my points link (then downloaded app and found the bonus pending).
    I sent a message to axos through the app to make sure the promo code was applied to the account since I previously was denied the bonus because the code was not applied (see comment downthread).
    I first tried to apply for a new account through the Swagbucks link but it would not work, possibly because I did successfully receive the SB on my previous attempt at the axos bonus.

      • Ok, thanks, I just signed up for MP and assumed their points were structured similar to Swagbucks.
        I did the SB already successfully but didn't get the Axos bonus (full comment is downthread) so I'm trying again with Axos since I'm a glutton for punishment, I guess.

  • Super easy to close account, I submitted a secure message but then realized this can also be done with their chatbot once logged in. Confirmation I received is below:

    "Please be aware that an Axos Bank team member may reach out to confirm how you'd like any remaining funds to be issued. It typically takes 2 to 3 business days to close an account. Any remaining funds will be sent by check to your mailing address. It may take a week or more for the check to arrive by mail and there will be a $10 check fee.

    Alternatively, you may withdraw funds directly from your account via an external transfer if your account type permits it."

  • Was able to successfully churn this on SB and MP. Also received Axos bonus twice.

    • I did SB link back in 2021, and tried to do MP this time, however when I filled the app, it says it seems like you're an existing customer, please log in...
      How do you override this, or you just log in using your old user?

  • Hi there. Does anyone know if it is possible to double dip with Swagbucks and Rakuten on this offer?

  • Thank you for your interest in Axos Bank. Unfortunately, your application has been declined due to information received from ChexSystems, a customer reporting agency.
