Find your most profitable
bank bonus in 60 seconds.

Banks pay $300–$500 to open an account. Stacks OS tells you exactly which one to do next for your paycheck, tracks every deadline, and adds up your haul — alongside a crew clawing $1,000,000 back from the banks.

Free to track every bonus. Upgrade to Pro ($5/mo) for the personalized queue that ranks checking, savings, and card bonuses and re-sequences as offers change.

Bonuses ranked by valuePro
Stacks OS prioritizes the highest-value bank bonuses available. Recommendations are based on profitability and requirements — not affiliate payouts.

How your bonus plan is built

Every recommendation is calculated — not curated.

1
Profitability
Bonuses are ranked by net payout after deposit requirements, holding periods, and fees. The highest-value opportunities come first.
2
Eligibility
Each bonus is matched to your paycheck amount and frequency. Offers you can't qualify for don't show up in your plan.
3
Sequencing
Cooldown periods are factored in so your next bonus is always ready to start when the current one finishes.

Common questions

Is this legal?
Yes. Bank bonuses are promotional offers banks use to attract new customers. They want you to sign up.
Do I need extra money?
Not usually. In many cases, your deposit only needs to pass through the account. You can often transfer the money back to your main bank after it arrives, as long as the bank requirements are met.
Will this affect my credit score?
Most checking account bonuses don't require a hard credit pull. We flag the ones that do so you can decide.
Will opening these accounts hurt my credit?
Most bank bonuses involve opening checking or savings accounts and do not affect your credit score. Some banks may check your banking history through ChexSystems instead.
How much time does this take?
Opening an account takes 10–15 minutes. After that, you're just checking off steps as they happen. The system tells you when to act.
What if a bonus offer changes?
Stacks OS aggregates publicly available information. We recommend verifying terms with the bank before applying. Offers can change at any time.
Do taxes or fees reduce these bonuses?
Most bank bonuses are treated as taxable income and may be reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-MISC by the bank. Some accounts may also have monthly fees if requirements are not met. Stacks OS highlights common fee-avoidance options for each bonus and helps you track the requirements needed to earn the reward. Always verify the terms directly with the bank before opening an account.
