Our Verdict

Might be able to find other links for other markets, previous offers have been for AR, IL, KS, MO, OK, TN, TX. Bonus definitely looks worth doing and is better than the $600 bonus previously offered. There is also a $50 referral bonus that might stack, please do not share your referrals in the comments until we confirm it does stack.

  • Finished round 3 today for the full $900 bonus for MO & KS using Chase Business checking.

  • After manual review $900 was posted to my account today. Apparently the code did not track on all accounts. Fidelity CMA transfers

  • First two cycles (of 4) were a success using Chase Bix. Attempting Discover savings next cycle. If it doesn't register, I'll still have 4th cycle, to hit my 3rd $300 bonus.

  • 12/31 - opened new account in TX with $50 deposit
    1/7 - transferred $5k from external acct (not as DD but just to satisfy $5000 minimum average balance requirement for promo)
    1/17 - statement closes
    1/30 - $3000 real DD
    2/4 - $100 relationship bonus credited

    I was expecting a $200 bonus, but they are saying since my ADB was <$5000 I only qualify for the $100. It seems I'm being penalized for the one week it took me to transfer funds in after account opening. But also their terms state they will credit 3 bonuses for the first 4 statement cycles. I would rather them give me nothing for this first one but then give $200 for each of the next 3, for a total of $600. It seems the best I can do now is $600. Anyone else run into this problem?

  • Will be doing Fidelity CMA and WF transfer this month. Since its known Fidelity works if I don't get it I guess I will do my first CFPB, any tips for that? Thank you
