did my 5/3 in TN the other day, too, and spent entirely too long in there (30min). still worth it for $200, but wow that was annoying.

Were you offered an official Predators jersey if you signed up for their credit card? 🙂

Any idea if this can be funded with a credit card?

Quick question.
My Discover ACH is recorded as ”Discover Bank Prearrange” on my 5/3 checking account. Does “Prearrange” counts as DD? Thx!

This inroudtces a pleasingly rational point of view.

Opened my 5/3rd account in TN this morning. It went smoothly, but had to spend a lot of time in the branch office listening to the up-sell spiel, including the free Predators hockey jersey if I’d apply for a new credit card.

Opening the SunTrust account online (for the same $200 bonus) was so much easier.

Yeah, in branch bonuses are quite annoying. But that up selling is precisely the reason they want people to go in branch.

I opened a new bonus eligible Fifth Third account in PA today. Still need to implement DD source – will do this tomorrow with bank transfer or Serve. Is one better for this purpose than the other? Time is of the essence since PA branches acquired by First National and transition expected approx. April.

Hello and happy 2016 – Per today’s newsletter on bank bonuses, I spoke this PM
to a PA branch of Fifth Third Bank to confirm they
accept transfer funds as DD from another bank where I have
an account. The account rep said FTB is
not offering any new account bonuses right now. The acquisition by First
National may be reason. Rep said check back in 3 months when new systems
are in place. Is this PA-specific or do I need to speak to someone else at
FTB? Thanks for input – MJM

Never ask if a bank transfer counts as a direct deposit, it’s a work around and not part of the terms. This offer is still live, so not sure why the rep said that.

Hi,

I had a 53rd account open a while back…but don’t have the exact date. Is there any way to find out if it was closed in the prior 12 month period or before that?

Thanks

yes, you should be able to call or go in branch and they can tell you.
