The Offer

Direct link to offer

Excite Credit Union is offering bonuses of up to $100 when you use promo code 100BUCKS:
- $50 when you open a GO savings account
- $50 when you open a GO checking account

The Fine Print

Please allow 3- 6 weeks for bonus to be deposited into your Excite account
All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Neither of these accounts has a monthly fee to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if an EATF is charged or not

Our Verdict

Doesn’t look like there are any requirements to trigger either bonus. Not sure if it’s a hard/soft pull and if you can fund with a credit card or not. Go savings account also earns 5% APY, but looks like it has a number of requirements to earn that rate.
