Account opened: March 2019

Got my 11th DD late March 2020, and was denied bonus.

Filed a CFPB complaint, only to find that APB is not in their database LOL

Got my first $150 six months to the day of opening the account (used real DD).

Anyone had any success on alternate DD methods for these guys?

Anyone else having trouble setting up DD? I opened my account on 2/2 and haven’t received anything from them that shows my routing or account number. Sent a secure message on their joke of a website last week asking for them and haven’t heard back yet.

I had no issues opening the account. I had to upload my DL and signed documents. I also called them to make sure they had everything they needed to open account. Did you call the bank yet?

The account was opened fine, I just can’t find my account number to setup direct deposits. Haven’t called the bank yet, was hoping someone found an easier path.

Thanks, I was able to find that, just can’t find my account number. I’ve opened the account and received my debit card, but can’t find the account number anywhere on their site or anything I’ve received from them.

For safer side, I set it up for $200/pay cycle as I can add up to 3 checking accounts.

DP – Spoke to the banker over the phone and opened the account online successfully. Soft Pull (Chex systems), no CC funding (only ACH transfer from other banks). They will ask you to sign a document and will ask your DL for verification before approving your account. No monthly maintenance fee but if you’re opening 3% APY for up to $10k – then you need to enroll in to estatements, make 12 debit transactions and have any amount ACH transfer within the statement period.

I looked at the direct link to the offer. What the heck is item 2 in boldface at the bottom of the offer???? A minimum balance of $25,000 is required for the entire 6 and 12 month periods to be eligible for the bonus?? Is this something new that was recently added to the offer? If so, forget it !!

Thanks! That is kind of what I thought had happened. One of their branches is less than 5 miles from where I live, but I absolutely HATE banks that will bait and switch and change their conditions to trick customers. By the way, your site is GREAT ! You have made me several thousand dollars over the past four years!!

That part looks like it refers to a “personal money market account bonus offer” not the “personal checking account bonus offer” listed above.

Can’t find any info on their site about the money market account but it doesn’t read like it is a requirement for the checking account bonus IMHO.

for god’s sake, I’ve received the Bonus requirement document from the banker and it DOESN’T have any $25,000 requirement. Below is what I’ve received….

Truth In Savings Addendum Bonus

Does anyone know about CC funding yet?

I am always on the lookout for a bank bonus that permits substantial CC funding ($1000 or more) and codes as a purchase. Opening that bank account then pairs beautifully with opening a credit card (helps to meet the minimum spend on the card).

I work hard to keep my spending very low, so it becomes a challenge for me to meet the typical 3k MSR for a new card. CC funding for a paired bank bonus becomes a huge help.

I’d be grateful for whatever anyone discovers…. thanks!

ACH from another bank, or transfer from your existing American Pride account only. No cc/dc, sorry!

@Michael E do you know if it is a hard or soft pull?

Check out DoC’s resource page. You’ll find loadful of banks accepting cc funding.

Don’t forget to close it after bonus posts: “Dormant Account Fee Charge (per month) … $5 Account is considered dormant if for 12 months no withdrawals or deposits, other than credited interest, have been made to the account and we have received no communication from you about the account.”

Also I couldn’t find a minimum amount for direct deposit. I’m going to have my employer put $100/pay period in.
