The Offer
- LGE Community Credit Union is offering a bonus of $150 when you open a new checking account and complete the following requirements:
- Use promo code HRC19
- Receive an ACH deposit
The Fine Print
- Offers valid 07/01/19 – 10/31/19 (“promotional period”) but may be withdrawn at any time. Membership eligibility and $5 minimum balance required to maintain base savings account. Fees could reduce earnings on accounts. Bonuses may be taxable. Terms and conditions apply. Offers may not be combined with similar product offers.
- Offer is only valid for new or existing members who open a new High Rewards Checking (HRC) account with an ACH deposit. ACH deposit must be received within 30 days of account opening. Qualified accounts will receive a $150 deposit into the checking account within 10 days after the initial ACH deposit is received.
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fee to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule, so I’m unsure if there is an early account termination fee
Our Verdict
Looks like the most recent datapoints suggest it’s a hard pull instead of soft pull to open. Because of that I wouldn’t recommend opening this account and won’t be adding this to our list of the best checking account bonuses.
