Thank you for the post. That’d be a very good offer if it was not hard pull.
Was not a hard pull for me.
Got bonus, no hard pull ever
My DPs are few years old, but FWIW:
1. I opened from very far OOS.
2. They pull EQ.
What did you use as your membership eligibility? It doesn’t appear that any of the eligible associations can be joined by anyone not in their industry.
Why is a HP not good? Does it affect 5/24 status?
No, but can make it more difficult to get approved for other cards.
I’d love to hear a bit more about this. Is the belief that certain CC issuers have a separate metric purely for inquiries, independent of the applicant’s FICO score? For example, if you have more than 15 EQ inquiries (say) then the issuer would decline the app, even if the person had an 800 score? Or is the worry simply that inquiries can lower your general score?
Inquiries do affect FICO scores, but not by much, especially since they are often spread over three different bureaus (excepting outliers like Cap One and mortgage inquiries).
Definitely not being argumentative — interested in learning more about what the concern might be.
Yes, some issuers will deny based on too many recent applications for credit (hard inquiries). Less of an issue now with all the other card issuer imposed rules.
I don’t mind the HP, this is absolutely worth $200 to me
Instant approval, NO CC funding
No hard pull for me, at least not yet, account opened last friday. I opted out of overdraft coverage as I’ve seen that result in a hard pull in the past
My opening deposit hasn’t posted yet so maybe they are just VERY slow with things
Any update on your opening deposit?
Did your deposit post and did you end up with a hard pull?
Deposit posted (had to confirm the external account first which was not clear).
No hard pull either!
Online application was approved, but no contact from bank after that, so called after waiting seven days. Agent said they pulled Equifax and now need me to provide copy of my license, copy of pay stub, social security card, and birth certificate.
That is an identity thief starter kit, so told them no thanks and withdrew application.
Has anyone received their bonus yet?
I’ve only had the 500 balance for 30 days now. I will report back on the bonus after I have met the 60 day requirement.
Well I’m past the 60 days. Finally called them and they are going to look into it and call me back.
Haven’t gotten mine yet either, past 60 days, sending SM
I haven’t received mine and I was supposed to get a call back over a week ago. I’m going to a branch tomorrow with an ultimatum.
I just went an closed the account, I wasn’t greeted they didn’t ask why or anything. I’ll never do business with them again.
No reply to my SM. Sent it 5 business days ago. I’m not closing just yet. Putting some pressure on them before I give up
It seems the way the terms read that you need to have the deposit there for 60 days and do the debits in that timeframe, THEN within the next 60 days the bonus posts. I think it takes 4 months from open to get the bonus.
SM reply ” I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay in our response. I have forwarded a request to our marketing department for additional research in order to provide the Welcome Bonus. Resolution may take up to 10 business days. I must apologize again for the inconvenience. We truly value your membership and look forward to assisting you further. Have a wonderful day!”
ill update then
got the bonus today
Was a soft pull for me. Was frozen when applied, dropped in branch unlocked eq and they opened account. No HP ever popped up.
There is also a referral bonus of $50 for this bank.
Increased to $100 for person referring, but remains $50 for person referred. Does not appear to stack with $200 offer.
Opened DCCU acct 08/28/2019 requirements met withing the first week. Recieved bonus today 11/25/2019 AFTER sending an SM a few days ago about the status of bonus. Deposit posted as “Deposit / SOURCELINK200”
@Brandon Appreciate your diligence in reporting progress from application to bonus. Based on your ultimate success, I decided to apply for this too!
I’m having trouble getting the bonus too. Fulfilled all the requirements Dec 3rd. Had to give them a call and the CSR had no idea what I’m talking about. Tried to tell me that I had to keep $500 in Checking all that time. After I read to her that it can be aggregate between all the accounts, she opened a ticket for their Marketing Dept. We’ll see how that goes.
Feb 21 and it is still unresolved. Secure message went unanswered as well. Credit Unions are not what they used to be.
Offer description needs updating to reflect multiple data points, including now mine, that this is only soft pull on Equifax. They also check EWS, although I don’t have enough history to test sensitivity.
Given easy requirements, probably deserves call out as a best bonus (state specific).
I opened it today and I confirm its a soft pull.
They do not care about ChexSystems.
My Chex is frozen and still got approved.
They do soft-pull Equifax and it has to be unlocked.
My Equifax is also frozen
Offer has been extended to Jan 31, 2020. Link remains the same.
Any non GA residents able to open an account?
Eligibility extends to A LOT of businesses and associations: https://www.deltacommunitycu.com/personal/eligibility.aspx
It even extends to Delta employees who aren’t US citizens and live overseas. If you don’t work for/aren’t retired from one of the companies listed, you do have to live or work in a metro ATL county to open an account.
don’t think there is way to fund with CC.
One of the two criteria is to maintain a $500 average balance for the 60 days after the account is opened. Since many of us will have a zero balance for the first few days, I am assuming that means we’ll need to raise up our balance to $550 (say) early on, rather than having a balance of exactly $500 (and no more).
Any thoughts?
i was also thinking about this.the formula would be
30000/(60 – # of days with zero balance)
I deposited $550 for 60 days, but I don’t know if that is required. It worked for me, I got the bonus.
does it need to be debit card purchase (pin based, not signature) to qualify?
I did Amazon Gift card reloads for the debit card purchases. Got the Bonus.
I got the $200 New member bonus after a long wait and had to ask about it through secure message twice, but I did get it- it was just slow to pay out.
I got an email for additional $10 bonus for using debit Visa 10 times online or in-store. I did Amazon reloads, got the bonus 5 weeks later.
Just got another email for additional $10 bonus for 2 bill pays – minimum $10 each. Bill pays must be transacted between 1/15 and 3/15 to qualify. Bonus pays after the promotion ends (3/15/20).
Thanks a lot for datapoints!
Applied from OOS. Selected the live/work option. Checked out the list of companies/organizations but my employer wasn’t listed and all but one org required a high fee or was very specialized. After a few days they sent SM asking for verification since I was OOS. Sent them proof of my employer whose HQ is in service area. 5 days later was approved. Def seems iffy for OOS to just skate in. May take some creativity. I’ll get SO in now with the family member relationship but I think the bonus expired 1/31. I’m sure theyll rerun or update. So far so good.
