What do you guys mean when you says “push”? I want to go for a Santander bonus. I read that Chase counts. What exactly do you do? Do you go into your Chase account and do a bank to bank transfer or what. I really don’t understand. Explain like I’m 5 ^_^

Push is pushing from another bank as standard ach ( not real time transfers). So yes , ach transfer from chase

Just got the $225 bonus with $1001 DD

12/25/2020 Opened account
12/31/2020 $1001 Venmo Deposit
1/15/2021 $1001 Real DD
1/19/2021 $1000 withdrawal
Bi-weekly $1 real DD to keep account free
3/30/2021 $225 received “Bonus Payment”

Will keep account open for another 30 days then close. Not sure if venmo actually worked so I used a real DD to be sure.

Unrelated but I will note that I got a call from my local branch more than once a month “checking in on me” and seeing if I needed anything. Considerate but got annoying after the second time

Anyone here received $171 bonus? Account opened 9/28 and $1000 transferred from Chase on 10/06. Bonus posted on 12/29 but only $171. So weird.

Anyone know the best way to close account? Just got the $400 bonus posted but it is literally impossible for me to visit a branch as I’d have to drive a couple hundred miles

Using a digital wallet like Venmo, PayPal or easiest ApplePay, link Acct for transfers via router & Acct #s (ck YouTube for how to videos) can transfer instantly with fees up to 3% or wait 3-5 business days for Free standard ACH* (mines post as DD using ApplePay or could post as “cash payment” for other wallets)..
You can also link your new debit card and Add Cash to your digital wallet, will post as a Purchase and not cash advance.
*You will be able to send “push” funds to your new Acct, can update bank info when needed for future accts.

odd data point re: WF “DD” Opened 3 accts 5 months ago. Wife/son/me. We used WF checking as DD, exactly the same transfer for all 3 accts. One acct got bonus. It coded as WF DD. Other 2 did not. Coded as transfer on the other 2. Exactly same deposits. called to inquire and was told we did not meet DD requirements. Wrote letter to close accts. Xferred funds back to WF. Waste of time.

Did you use your new accts as transfers or a Hub Acct linked so you send it back to the Hub Acct and Not directly to each other’s New WF accts?
had you opened all 3 at same time? Maybe if waited couple wks in between to not raise suspicion?

Always best to try digital wallets to transfer funds, takes standard 3-5 business days for free ACH or upto 3% instantly.

I like to use ApplePay as it always posts as DD.

Wells Fargo is hit or miss for DD. Opened 2 accts for the 225.00 bonus in July. Opened 1 acct 8/10. Called in this AM..no bonus on accts opened in July due to “did not meet DD requirements”. Rep was very nice. The WF entries state “Transfer”. So I missed out. So we always have to check the coding on these “DD”. However, the WF deposit for the 8/10 acct coded as DDA..IFI etc. These always work. Don’t know what they changed but all 3 WF deposits were made the same way via online transfer and from each named acct for each person. So check the WF “DD” with Santander.
