🪙 Kraken - $50-$75 Referral + Capital One Shopping $250 or Rakuten $50–$150 or TopCashBack $202 🔥🔥🔥

Referral availability: Nationwide (excluding ME, WA, NY) · No Expiration Date
Portal cashback: likely still works in excluded states (referral bonus may not)

A very strong stack is available right now: combine Kraken’s referral bonus ($50 or $75 BTC) with either Capital One Shopping’s targeted $250 offer or Rakuten’s $50–$150 offer.

By signing up and completing $500 in cumulative crypto trades, you can earn $100-$300 total depending on which portal offer you use.

💰 Stack Summary

Capital One Shopping: $250 cashback (targeted, YMMV) or Rakuten: $50–$150 cashback (varies by promotion) or TopCashBack: $202 cashback + Kraken referral: $50 in BTC

➡️ Total: $100-$300

Note: Trade volume is cumulative, and a buy + sell round trip counts double.

Example: A $250 buy + $250 sell = $500 trade volume

Step 1 – Choose Your Portal (Capital One or Rakuten)

Either portal works — pick one depending on which offer you can access. The rest of the process is the same.

🧩 Option A – Capital One Shopping ($250 targeted offer)

  1. Install the Capital One Shopping browser extension.
  2. Visit Kraken.com once with the extension enabled and signed in. You might first see a smaller offer ($25 or $75).
  3. Within a few days, Capital One Shopping should email you an elevated $250 offer.
  4. Open the email → click “Unlock Your Offer” → activate it in the extension before signing up for Kraken.
  5. If you’re new to Capital One Shopping, you can also get their $80 signup bonus here:
    🔗 Capital One Shopping Referral Link: capitaloneshopping.com/r/9456ade4-5111-436e-bc35-a4643ace36d0

🧩 Option B – Rakuten ($50–$150 offer)

  1. Log into Rakuten (or create an account).
  2. Search “Kraken” and click Shop Now to start tracking.
  3. This will open Kraken.com — begin your signup immediately to ensure tracking remains active.
    (Rakuten offers vary: standard $50, occasionally $100, $125 or $150.)
  4. If you’re new to Rakuten, you can also get their $50 signup bonus here:
    🔗 Rakuten Referral Link: rakuten.com/r/FAVONI8

Rakuten $50 signup bonus requirements: Make a purchase of at least $50 within 90 days:
Requirements section

Step 2 – Kraken Referral Signup ($50 bonus in BTC)

During signup, expand the “Invite code (optional)” field, enter a referral code, and click Apply.

If you start your application through a shopping portal (Rakuten or Capital One Shopping), manually apply the referral code during signup. The referral links below are provided for reference only — unless you’re applying directly without stacking with a portal offer.

Option 1: $50 Referral Bonus:

Option 2: 2-Tiered Referral Bonus (up to $75 total):

  • $75 Referral code: 53hgksrt

  • Bonus tiers:

    • Create and verify account (KYC)
    • Deposit at least $500
    • Trade at least $250, earn $25
    • Trade at least $1,000, earn $50 (=$75 total)

Trade volume is cumulative, and buy/sell counts double:

  • A $250 buy + $250 sell = $500 volume

🔗 Referral terms FYI: https://www.kraken.com/referrals

Step 3 – Deposit and Complete the Trade (⚠️ Should be in the app)

Kraken’s terms state that the qualifying trade must be done in the app. Some DPs say website trades still triggered the bonus, but the safest approach is the app.

  1. Download the Kraken mobile app.
  2. Deposit the required amount as in the promo terms (recommend ACH: no fee, funds available instantly).
  3. Trade the required cumulative volume of a non-stablecoin (BTC, ETH, etc.).
  4. Stablecoins (USDT/USDC) do not count

⚠️ Important Tips to Avoid Trading Fee and Slippage

1️⃣ Start the free Kraken+ trial (waives the 1% fee)

  • Waives the 1% trading fee
  • Cancel immediately; free month remains active
  • Saves $5 on a $500 trade

2️⃣ Use Limit Orders — NOT Instant Buy

Instant Buy = market order → typically 1%–2% spread.

How to place limit orders in the Kraken app:

  • Tap Custom (top right)
  • Switch Instant → Custom price
  • Enter your desired price (limit order)

Tips:

  • Pick a price near the lower end of the last 1–2 minutes of movement.
  • If it doesn’t fill, adjust slightly.
  • After the buy fills, immediately Custom Sell at or near the buy price.

⏱ Bonus Timeline

  • Capital One Shopping $250 cashback: usually pending in ~3 days.
  • Rakuten $50–$150 cashback: usually pending in ~3 days (sometimes longer).
  • Kraken $50- $75 BTC bonus: tracker updates instantly after trade; officially posts within 21 days.

🔔 eToro — Up to $500 Crypto Bonus + $30 Referral

Nationwide excluding NY, NV, and HI · One account per person/household · Expires 01/31/2026

Referral link: https://etoro.tw/4bKaOxA

Bonus Overview (New Users)

New users may earn up to $530 total: - $500 crypto bonus for depositing $5,000+ - $30 referral bonus for making a first-time deposit of at least $100 within 30 days of account opening
(If you deposit $5,000 for the $500 crypto bonus, this automatically satisfies the referral requirement.)

Important: the $5,000 deposit must be one single transaction. Splitting deposits has produced lower-tier payouts in multiple user reports.

Deposit Tiers (Crypto Bonus)

Deposit Amount Crypto Bonus
$200–$499 $10
$500–$2,499 $30
$2,500–$4,999 $200

$500 Crypto Bonus Details

  • You choose which crypto you want as the bonus when prompted.
  • Options reported by users include: BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, DOGE, XLM (may vary).
  • You can typically sell the bonus crypto immediately once received and hold cash, as long as the original deposit stays for 90 days.
  • Some users park funds in low-risk ETFs (e.g., BIL, SHV) during the 90-day hold period.

Bonus Timing

$500 Crypto Bonus

  • Often credited very quickly after the qualifying deposit (many reports show within minutes).
  • Per T&C, eToro has up to 7 days to credit the bonus, so short delays can still be normal.
  • No manual claim required; the bonus is auto-credited once eligible.

$30 Referral Bonus

  • Not instant.
  • Typically posts within ~14 days after the referred user completes the qualifying deposit.
  • Once credited, eToro sends an email like “You just received $30!”, and it appears in the cash balance.

How to Get the Full $500 Cypto + $30 Referral Bonus (Simple Steps)

  1. Sign up using referral link https://etoro.tw/4qoJGcA
  2. Complete identity verification.
  3. Make one single deposit of $5,000 or more during the promo window.
  4. Select your crypto for the bonus when prompted.
  5. Keep the $5000 deposited funds in the account for 90 days.

  • First deposit only counts for tier determination (multiple deposits are not combined).
  • Bank linking (Plaid) can be inconsistent for some banks.
  • PayPal, debit card, or ACH may work depending on the account.
  • No trading requirement for the $500 crypto bonus.

Existing Users

  • Trade must be completed within 30 days of signup
  • Referral status updates in 1–3 days
  • Bonus is processed after day 32
  • Payout usually appears around day 34–35

💸 Fees

  • Standard trading fees apply
  • Using ActiveTrader mode significantly lowers fees (recommended)
