Got on here to see if anybody knows if the DD requirement has a minimum amount? I had it pretty high to get to the 5k average daily balance as quick as I could, but now would like to reduce it. Description above just says:
“receive one (1) or more qualifying direct deposits in your Account during the statement cycle”
I don’t know if that means you just need one, and as long as all the other requirements are met, that’s all you need – or – if you need one per month. And IF you need one per month, then I don’t know if there’s a minimum?

Been working for me. Two of the three $200 deposits have posted. Much better online banking experience than I was anticipating, and pretty good customer service messaging. Wasn’t expecting much from what I think is a regional bank, but pleasantly surprised.

I’d like to share my unbelievable, crazy experience with this bank.
Frist I tried to apply online and found it needed my chex unfreezing. So I went to the branch at Gunter, TX 75058 to see if I could avoid being inquired on Chex. And it turned out Chex unfreezing was necessary.
And when I mentioned the promotion offer, the banker told me it was only for some certain group of people. (I’m not a native speaker so I didn’t quite understand what kind of group she said, it seemed like a club or company name) She also confirmed with her manager and told me she couldn’t apply the code to my account. But the promotion page didn’t mention that specific eligibility requirement at all, but the banker told me the promotion page was wrong….(really?) So I called twice Simmons bank customer service for verification, the first representative was very indifferent and refused to explained the promotion detail and jut let me listen to the branch banker. The later representative was willing to communicate with the Gunter branch to see the “true” requirements of this promotion offer. After a long waiting time, the manager told me on phone that she gave me an “exception” and applied the code to my account.
After some time, I called and chatted with the customer agents to see if the code was applied. Unexpectedly come representatives said they didn’t have the access to check if my account had applied a code, and the only one who could check it was the branch where I opened my account. And some online agents just let me wait and wait…
After waiting 20 days, I fed up with all these fooling and left an message that I would complain to the CFPB. Finally I got a response the next day notifying that the code had been applied to my account.
I can’t believe I had to go through that. This is the most ragtag bank I‘ve ever seen.

I followed the link to offer, and opened my account today. But, I did not recall there was a step to input the promo code CTN . Did I miss something?

I think it needed to be 5001. That’s what I did and got the first 200 in full. I seen another person that did the same as you and got the 100. Next month you will get the 200 since you will be over 5000.

Average daily balance for the statement cycle needs to be $5000K plus. Sounds like you waited too long to get the money in there and your average daily balance was below the threshold. Gotta be careful with banks that have those requirements.

unfortunately, the only problem was that it starts from day 1. I had $5002 on day 2 but it average out to be $4700. So, you needed similar to $5.5k or $6k for the first few days before lowering it.

oh well.

Simmons is a pain to work with. They’ve shorted me by $100 on one month’s bonus, in violation of their own terms. I’ve contested via secure messaging and with a regional manager both to no avail. Not complaining about $500 in bonuses already received, but still be careful dealing with them.

hello, I didn’t save the promotion page and the link is expired now. According to your dp, making a total of at least $5k direct deposit, and keeping the daily balance above or equal to $5k for three consecutive cycles, can get a $200 bonus from each cycle?
