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.
