How it works
We ask about your monthly spend capacity, direct deposit access, state, and the cards and bank accounts you already have. No SSN, no bank login, no credit card numbers.
Your plan shows each bonus ranked by real dollar value, the spend or deposit needed to earn it, and which one to open first based on timing and issuer rules.
Your plan tells you exactly when to apply, how long you have to hit the spend or deposit requirement, and when to expect the bonus — so you never miss a deadline.
Why The Stack Is Different
Every bonus is shown as a cash value after fees — no inflated point valuations or guesswork.
Your monthly spend capacity, direct deposit access, state, and current accounts determine which bonuses show up — so every recommendation is one you can realistically complete.

“I already knew the cards I wanted. What surprised me was the order — it flagged a Chase 5/24 conflict I hadn't considered.”
FAQ
Yes, the site, the Bonus Planner, and the comparison tools are free to use. You can run the quiz, review your results, and explore the site without paying a fee.
About 2 minutes for most people. We ask enough to make the recommendations useful without turning it into a long intake form.
Yes. The full Bonus Planner can include both card bonuses and bank account bonuses when they fit your profile and timing.
Not necessarily. Many bank bonuses do not depend on card approval at all, and the card-only path is there when you want a tighter screen around your credit profile.
We use the bonus value, annual fee, and practical assumptions around benefits, effort, and timing so the ranking is more grounded than a raw points headline.
New applications can create a small temporary dip, so the Bonus Planner is best used by people who already pay on time and are comfortable opening accounts deliberately to earn sign-up bonuses and reward points.
No. We built The Stack specifically to kill the manual spreadsheet. We handle the tracking, the rules, and the deadlines so you can focus on the profit.
