Hey folks, welcome to another edition of Triple Threat, where just like in my previous editions, I’ll highlight three deals that will help you make relatively quick and easy returns, this time totaling up to $395 dollars. I’m not sure if it’s just a liquidity grab for companies going into Q4, but man are there a lot of free money offers out there. Let’s break down each one:
Alliant: $75 via Swagbucks
In order get access to this deal you need to get a Swagbucks account, a free cashback program that I’ve written about numerous times before. Once you log into your Swagbucks account, all you have to do is type “alliant” in the search field, and you should see an advert pop-up:
Although I think $75 bucks is nice, it’s a bit on the low-end compared to other offers that I would normally post about, however this one requires no deposit or direct deposit, and according to the T&C’s, you should be able to get the 7500 SB ($75) credited to your account within just 7 days.
After the SB (also simply known as Swagbucks) credit into your account, you can easily redeem them at a rate of 1SB to 1 cent in the form of gift cards or just straight up cash if you have a paypal account. Once a month you can also get even better than 1:1 redemptions if you get a gift card that’s on sale:
I myself routinely go for the $25 dollar Amazon gift cards for 2,200 SB (equivalent to $22 dollars).
Upgrade: $120
Even despite the signup bonus, Upgrade offers a pretty solid interest rate, making it a viable option if you want to keep your fiat in an FDIC-insured space:
This offer which is also available on Swagbucks, will earn you $120 after you open up a new account with Upgrade and setup a direct deposit of $200 or more. I’ve written about Upgrade before, and this is significantly higher than offers I’ve seen in the past.
Ally Bank: $200
Out of this article’s 3 offers, the Ally Bank offer is the most lucrative but it also requires the most capital. Essentially you have to open a new checking account and have $1500 worth of direct deposits within 90 days. If you get paid on a monthly basis, this is $500 a month or $250 if you get paid bi-weekly. I’ve also seen offers for Ally Bank in the past, and $200 is pretty far up there.
To be completely honest given their current interest rates, I’m not sure how long I would keep funds in this one after the bonus posts:
0.10~0.25% are pretty god-awful, especially considering that there are so many other places (including Upgrade) that will give you nearly 50x’s better interest rates for your parked money.
Conclusion:
Free money is always awesome, especially when it comes with minimal risk. All of these deals are FDIC/SIPC insured, which means essentially that your funds are backed by the Federal government for at least up to $250,000. I think the biggest pain is just making sure that your offer tracks on Swagbucks — I’ve had more than a 90% success rate for all the different Swagbucks offers I’ve done over the years, but even if the money for some reason didn’t track, after going through customer service I’ve always ended up getting the bonus as long as I’ve properly completed the Terms & Conditions. That being said, I’ve been using Swagbucks for 8 years now and I’ve been able to earn $1000’s of dollars over that time. If you’re new to Swagbucks, please consider supporting this blog and using my referral link to earn $13 dollars worth of SB and open a free account: https://www.swagbucks.com/register?rb=10826501&cmp=72&cxid=1200-twitter.
