I finally got my reward. I opened my account June 14th. I finished meeting the bonus requirements on August 2nd.

I called after the 60 day mark to inquire about the bonus. The first time I called I was told that the promotion was only available to those who live in the Charlotte, NC area. I called again a few days later and was told that I should receive an email with instructions to create the rewards account. Fortunately, I received an email two business days later with info on how to get the $250 gift card.

Drew$$ Kudos to you! A valuable lesson in not listening to the first rep you speak to AT ANY bank. They make up crap to get you off the phone and try to justify what the system did or didn’t do.

I have a friend that had a similar incident at Affinity… he told them to close the account. If you give up… they don’t have to do anything more to help but will gladly listen to your directions to close the account. Yes, you can raise a stink later, but there are usually terms that closed accounts cannot get a bonus.

Do you live in Charlotte, NC area? I met requirements of the bonus but was told I will not receive it since I do not live in Charlotte.

Sounds like a future NCUA complaint to me. Actually, HUCA ONLY IF you have exceeded the promo payout timeframe. Sometimes reps will not have a clue, and you would get the bonus anyway if you let things happen normally. GL!

I think you correct on the reps not knowing. The representative said it was only for Charlotte residents but could not say where it said that. Hopefully this will work out on its own.

 William Charles,

I went here to comment about this before I saw Drew$$’s comment. BTW, the HT should go to BankDeal via this comment: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/best-bank-account-bonuses/#comment-1457589

Got the rewards email today with the subject “Congratulations!”. Amazon GC seems to be the best option. No options for Visa/MC gift cards.

Do you live in the Charlotte, NC area?

I competed all of my requirements for the bonus on August 3rd. I have not received an email with info on how to get the gift card. I called Truliant today. They said that the $250 bonus was for only people who live in Charlotte.

I was approved and have met the requirements. Any idea of where I find the certificate when it has been awarded and how to redeem it?

Terms: “After you satisfy all of the requirements, you will receive an email notification for your reward redemption within 60 days. ”

I haven’t done this bonus but have seen similar programs. They typically will email a link and it will let you choose major retailers like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, WM, etc. Probably no Visa or MC. Probably an instant e-gift card, but could be physical/mailed, or you may get to pick.

Good luck. I have been putting this one off because I am concerned with Chex sensitivity.

Appreciate it! Don’t know how I missed that. You just saved me a lot of time. I just called their customer service number to see how it worked and got what sounded like a 75 year old woman who had no idea what I was referring to and placed me on hold. Your email came through as I had already been on hold for 10 minutes.

Looks like it actually might be a Visa GC, if you click the Gift Card terms here: https://www.truliantfcu.org/agreements-disclosures

That’s slightly better in my opinion… seems like very few made it through to find out.
