12 live offers · SIPC-insured platforms, cash + stock rewards

How we rank these. Top picks are ranked by effective APY, which is the bonus plus interest annualized over how long your cash is tied up, and only offers with a deposit of $1,000 or more qualify. Smaller referral offers still appear in the table, because a big percentage on a $60 hold is not a real return. The Easy, Medium and Hard chip is a separate question from the order: it rates how much work the offer asks of you, from the deposit and the hold to the monthly fee and whether you can join at all.

Are brokerage bonuses safe?

The short answer: yes, with caveats

Every brokerage on this page is SIPC-insured up to $500,000 (which includes $250k in cash) — the brokerage equivalent of FDIC. If the firm fails, the SIPC steps in. That covers the major scenarios; it doesn't cover market losses from your own trades.

The main caveat is the hold requirement. To collect the bonus, most platforms need you to keep the transferred assets (cash, stock, or both) at the brokerage for 90 to 365 days. Pull the money early and they claw the bonus back.

Functionally, brokerage cash bonuses are identical to savings bonuses — park cash, hold for X days, collect. Inside Stacks OS they live under the Savings module and get sequenced alongside HYSA bonuses.

Stop tracking bonuses in a spreadsheet

Stacks OS builds a personalized sequence based on your paycheck, tracks every bonus you've done, and tells you exactly what to do next. 273 bonuses, one dashboard.
