Our Verdict
Earlier in the year they offered a $100 bonus with the same requirements. Unfortunately they seem to be extremely ChexSystems sensitive so most people won’t be eligible. I’ll still be adding this to our list of the best checking bonuses.

Applied and denied on 3/25 with about 6 new accounts in 12 months due to Chex
Applied to this bank today and was declined for Chex sensitivity. Probably opened 7-10 banks this past twelve months so I should have seen it coming. And oh yeah the promotion is back for $200 if you can actually get approved.
This $200 Bonus deal is back, until April 14, 2020. They’re sensitive to Chex system. Got denied because I opened about 12 new accounts in last 12 months. My wife got approved last year because she had only 6.

10/11/19 Opened account online with $100 deposit from a debit card of another bank.
10/17/19 Pushed $500 from Discover Savings. Recorded as scheduled PPD.
10/17/19 to 10/31/19 Made 16 purchases with debit card (12 required).
12/09/19 $200 Bonus received.
Applied early yesterday, got approval email this morning, and got debit card in the mail today. This is only my fourth account in last 12 months.
How could you get the debit card so fast? My wife applied on Wed Oct 9, got the approval email on the 10th, saying the debit card will arrive in 5-7 business days. Emprise’s HQ is in Wichita, I’m in Topeka, about 120 miles away.
I’m really not sure, but I am in Wichita so I guess that helps!
Applied last night, got denied today due to Chex. Probably about 6-8 new bank accounts in past year.
Very sensitive denied 4/4
There’s an early termination fee. Their fee schedule says “Closing Fee: $25.00 (applies to all checking & savings accounts if closed within 180 days)”.
Tried this when it was $100 a few months ago, denied! seem quite Chex Sensitive, maybe 6-8 apps in last 12 months or so
They are ChexSystems sensitive. I was 13/24 when I applied. After submitting the application, they requested DL and utility bill. After I sent the documents, they sent me the denial email.
P2’s application also got denied. She was 9/12 so evidently you need fewer apps than 9. This is the first bank that has been this sensitive over $100 bonus for me and $200 bonus for P2.
