Banks

Cash bonus offers. If you meet the criteria you can get cash in your bank account when you open it. Cash bonuses are normally around $50–$100 at most.
Cashback. Some accounts let you earn cashback based on money you spend. This is normally limited to 1–2% of what you spend. It may be capped at a set amount or limited to specific types of transaction.
Points. Credit cards often come with reward points based on how much you spend. But sometimes debit cards and even transaction accounts let you earn points.
Introductory savings rates. Savings accounts may come with a special, higher interest rate for the first few months. After that, the account interest rate will be smaller.
Fee waivers. Banks often waive application or annual fees on bank products for a limited time.
Interest-free periods. Balance transfer credit cards typically offer interest-free periods. This means you can move outstanding balances to the new card and get a break from interest charges while you pay it off.
Complimentary travel insurance. Many credit cards have complimentary travel insurance. But sometimes you can get this with a transaction account and debit card too.

Bonus offers are for transaction accounts, not savings accounts

Banks use special offers and deals on transaction accounts and linked credit or debit cards. This is to encourage people to sign up and spend using the accounts.

These offers are much rarer on savings accounts because these accounts are aimed at building up savings over time and earning interest.

Cashback vs cash bonuses

Cash bonuses

A one-off deposit of cash in your account after you open it. This is usually no more than $100.
You have to meet criteria, such as making a certain number of transactions or depositing a certain amount into the account each month.
You may need to keep the account open for a few months before you get the cash.

Cashback

A bank account cashback is more of an ongoing perk than a one-off payment.
You can earn a percentage of your spending back, usually 1–2%.
Cashback applies to a specific type of spending. For example, a 1% cashback on your utility bills or 2% for every purchase you make via tap and pay.

What other special offers can I get from a bank?

Credit card offers

Plenty of banks have introductory credit card offers. This includes $0 annual fees, long interest-free periods and the ability to earn bonus points.

Home loan cashback

Some lenders offer generous cashback to entice borrowers to refinance their home loans. You can get up to $4,000 with a home loan cashback. This can offset any switching fees. You need to open a bank account with the same bank or lender to qualify.

Frequently asked questions

No, high interest savings accounts rarely offer cash bonus or cashback deals to new customers. However, they do offer something else instead: more interest. These accounts are called introductory saver accounts (or honeymoon savers).
These accounts offer a higher, special interest rate to new customers for a certain amount of time, usually 3–5 months, as an incentive to switch and open an account.
You can open as many bank accounts as you like. Or rather, as many as each bank will let you open. There are no real limits with a bank account, unlike with credit cards and loans.
But if you're planning to open multiple transaction accounts to take advantage of cash bonuses or other special offers the banks are way ahead of you. These offers always limit the number of bonuses available per customer.
