Guru’s Wrap-Up

A better bonus than the $150 they previously had, but there’s more requirement. Now you need to do a direct deposits of $1,000 or more for three consecutive months. Still worth doing in my opinion as the $10 monthly fee can be easily waived.

Bank bonuses are a great way to earn some extra income, often from the comfort of your home. You can take a look at my bank bonus results for 2022 where I made over $6,000. If this bonus is not for you, then you can check our full list of available bank bonuses. And, if you’re new to bank account bonuses, you can learn more about churning bank accounts here.
