Still awaiting my bonus… Getting anxious. Did initial direct deposit in April and subsequent months but still no bonus.

You might need to manually submit a ticket like I did to get the bonus.. Seems they are having an IT issue.

“Then continue to receive a monthly direct deposit of at least $500 for 4 months”

Does it need to be a single >$500 DD per month for 4 months?
Or can it be two >$250 DD per month, totaling >$500 per month, except for the 1st one which seems to need to be a single >$500 DD to meet “Receive a direct deposit of $500+ within 60 days of account opening” ?

I received a $200 bonus in 2022 and cannot find a 1099 from Sandy Spring Bank. Did anyone receive a 1099 for account opening bonuses received prior to 2023?

Is this the best the bonus has ever been? If they ever offered bonus?

Edit: Looks like the highest ever was $300 back in 2018.

I wasn’t given an option for credit card funding – might have something to do with their new application.

If you want a headache..open this account online and have them later freeze it (without telling you they’ve done so), say ppl will call u, who never do, later find out they demand you go to branch over an hour away to unfreeze. Ended up cfpbing just to get original deposit back. Huge time suck.

Had the same happen to me a year ago. Probably avoid this bank if you’re not comfortable driving to a branch.

Stan F Daniel Wu I’m having the same issue. Did either of you ever get it to work?

The terms and condition do not mention any prior/closed account. So I guess this is churnable?

Yeah looks like you just have to wait 90 days after closing an account to qualify. I got this bonus in 2022 so might close and try in 90 days (if this offer sticks around or a new one shows up).
