Our Verdict
We once saw a $75 bonus on SoFi Invest via referral link, though that one required $1,000 deposit. This is the simplest offer we’ve seen, and could be a nice bonus even for someone who doesn’t want to invest the funds as you can simply signup and do the deposit to get the $75 bonus.
I’d wait 32 days until the reward posts before pulling the funds out, but I don’t see any official requirement of such. The $75 probably won’t get reported on a form 1099, though legally you might have to self-report the bonus. We’ll add this to our list of Best Brokerage Bonuses.
If you’re new to Swagbucks, please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
