Coinbase is one of the oldest and most respected cryptocurrency exchanges.
With the recent rise in crypto prices, following the re-election of Donald Trump, Coinbase is looking to expand its userbase with a new promotion. It’s been many years since they’ve offered a promotion (or at least one more than $5) and so if you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, it may be time to jump in.
It’s one of the best crypto bonuses right now.
Coinbase New Account Promotion – $50 BTC
For new users, Coinbase will give you $50 in bitcoin once you open your account with the promo code GET50 and make your first trade (minimum of $1).
$50 BTC (of Bitcoin) will be added to your account within 48 hours. It’s usually there in a few minutes.
You have to use the link below to open your account and qualify, you can’t use a referral link (this offer will not stack with the $20 offer you get for using a referral link) to double up on rewards.
When you open an account, you’ll need to provide identifying information like a driver’s license or passport (you just upload a photo and they verify it that way). Then, you can link up an account (bank or PayPal, I suggest PayPal) and make a transaction.
The transaction will have fees ($0.99 usually) or you can sign up for Coinbase Pro (7 day trial) to pay nothing.
(Offer expires 11/22/2024)
