 William Charles Looks like this is back, would be nice to see some DP on the county requirements for this time. I’m in NE Kansas but not one of the counties listed.

What counts as a direct deposit?
I got a letter that the offer is $200

DD is easy – start your own business and process your own payroll. 😀

They have a $200.00 checking account offer now. I went in and one banking rep told me I didn’t qualify because I’ve had a checking account in the past and this offer (though it doesn’t say it on the flyer I was mailed) isn’t available to past customers.

Thanks for the info. I guess I’d better close my accounts now and get my $2 back so maybe I can qualify for a bonus in the future.

Only if you get a Delorean going 88MPH and change the fact you are a past customer. 🙂

I had a neighbor with a Delorean a few years ago. I’ll ask him how fast it goes. 😀

If it works, new bank bonuses for everyone!

Just a heads up, this Credit Union only allows you to close the account in branch or they will mail you the paperwork to do so, but it must be notarized.

Update on experiences. I don’t like this credit union very much. I scheduled a bunch of transfers out of my account (max $2500 per xfer) and they cancelled all but one due to exceeding the transfer limit.

The website is down more often than up.

If you open an additional account, you have to fill out the signature card and go through their questions every single time, which seems redundant and a hassle.

If I can’t access my account online half the time, it’s not worth having the account. I’ll check to see if there are any early closing fees then close out this account.

The CC funding is nice but everything else is a hassle.

7/26: Opened account, funded $5k each savings and checking with Merrill Lynch card. Posted as purchase

8/20: 20 debits, Amazon 50 cent reloads
8/23: direct deposit posted (actual payroll)
8/24: $123 bonus posted to savings

Also funded money market a couple of weeks after initial account opening for another $5k, so $15k spend @ 2% = another $300 in value. 😀

Thanks DoC!

Opened account a week ago. Funded checking and savings for $5k each on Merrill Lynch card. Posted as purchases.

Got a phone call from a rep a few days later, had to answer basic questions about use of account. Looks like it’s ready to go. E-Signed some docs, but still can’t get online access to account. Will have to call branch to figure out why.

I am not a Federal employee, but live in the required service area.

Hey Curmudgeon, Curmudgeon

Couple questions for you:

(1) Did you fund both at the same time or in separate instances?
(2) Did you get any indication that they would take anything besides Visa cards?

Thanks!

I funded both at the same time. For card type, I never really looked at it – just put in my card number and didn’t think about it.

I went back to the Mazuma site and opened a money market account, to see if it would let me fund with a card again.

Was able to fund $5000 on my Merrill Lynch card for the MM account. 😀

Also noted, just for you, that they take Visa/MC/Discover for funding.

Between savings, checking and money market accounts, they offer about 10 different types. I’m tempted to open one of each type just for the card funding. 🙂

Have you been banned from them yet? They won’t let me open an account online. I’m going to try to open one today ($200 account bonus) in branch. Hopefully I can open a money market online after that to get the $5000 cc funding.

Why would I be banned? I never did much with the accounts after I opened them – in fact I think I have less than $5 total there now. I never did go back an open another 10 accounts, so maybe if I had done that they’d ban me.

Sounds like they banned you though – what did you do?

I’m not aware of another $200 bonus though. Have you sent that info to Will for a new post?

I opened the account and closed the account about three times after using it to MS cards. :-/
Every time I try to open an account online with $4000 – $5000 it never opens my account and I have to call in. It happened three times in the last 9 months. My buddy told me he’s banned too. haha.
I need to send it to Will.

Three times? Ha! That’s hilarious. So you’re saying I could close my accounts and reopen them all at least one more time, maybe twice before being banned? That would be worth it actually for the minimum $15,000 credit card spend each time – way better than the current $200 bonus. 😀

It’s been kind of a pain trying to get access to online banking. You have to “apply” for online access even after being approved and given a member number, and I’ve been denied 3 times already. Called in and the CSR advised that, when asked to provide my member number in the application (which was given as 0000######), to drop all the preceding zeros and possibly the last digit, too, if you have more than 6. Said it like it was the most natural thing in the world to have a computer system that can’t recognize the ID they gave me… geez.

Finally chased down the following DP: *only* Federal employees living in Missouri or Kansas are eligible for CU membership. After a long run-around, I was denied (I am a Federal employee residing in another state). CSR admitted that this was a recent policy change and that their website and documentation do not yet reflect it, and further that their online application software is run by a third party, so that any initial approval & assignment of a membership number is still tentative until the CU makes a final decision.

$5K pending on BOA AK Business card. Wouldn’t accept Citi AA Business card with cash advance line well below $5K limit. Verified with Citi that it wasn’t blocked on Citi’s end.

Clint ,

When your Citi card was rejected did it immediately reject it and allow you to input a different card, or did you get notified of it afterwards?
Thanks!

Clint ,

When your card was rejected did it allow you to try another card or did you find out later via email? Thanks!
