I called the 800# to inquire on this promo. The rep immediately asked me if I was a WI resident explaining that I would have to travel to a branch bank if I wanted to make deposits etc. I told her I was an IL resident and that I would do all my banking online with DD. I asked her if I could apply over the phone and she advised me to apply online by navigating to Choice Checking. Not sure why she specified Choice Checking as there were other options as well. I asked her if there was a promo code I needed to use and she said no, as long as you apply by 2/29 the bonus will automatically be applied. She did ask me who she was speaking to which they may use to activate the promo but I’m guessing calling is not necessary. After applying, they will call you back within a day to finish the application process. At that time I will verify the promo.

I was approved for the account and assured a $150 bonus. The bonus was deposited about 10 days after I pushed $500 from Capital One 360. I also took advantage of the $50 referral bonus by getting my neighbor to apply, who also received the $150 bonus pushing $500 with PayPal. The $50 referral bonus states that both parties would receive $50. I received the $50 6 weeks after neighbor completed terms. However, my neighbor was denied the $50 bonus since he already took advantage of the $150 bonus as explained by the customer service of the referral program.

My apologies. Disregard or remove my last post as I thought this was for Associated Bank. Anchor Bank did approve my application and verified that I would receive all bonus’s after completing terms. I pushed $500 from Chase checking on 3/2 and completed debit card requirements on 3/15. No bonus’s have been posted yet. I may try pushing another $500 out of PayPal.

I’ve spoken with some Anchor Bank (WI) reps as well. One can be a resident of a different state (well, at least MN) and still get the bonus, but the application should be done in-branch. Again, this is per a telephone rep after a lengthy convo. Could work well for those living close to the border.

Summary: You don’t have to living in WI to get the bonus … but if you don’t there, you will likely need to apply in-branch.
