Avoiding Fees

There is no monthly fee when you open an account with Beth Page, there is also no early account termination fee.

Referral Program

BethPage has a referral program, you can receive $25. You should be able to stack this with the $100 sign up bonus, as it looks like you submit the referral form after they have already signed up. More information can be found here.

Our Verdict

Unfortunately at the moment not much is known about this offer. For example, we don’t know whether it’s a hard or soft pull – whether you can fund it via credit card and what counts as a direct deposit other than an employer payment or government benefit.

Because the bonus is only $100 we’d recommend avoiding this bonus until more information is known. The expiration date still isn’t for awhile, so you’ve got plenty of time. We will update this post as more information comes to hand.
