I logged into our BBVA accounts today 1/27/21 and the 1099-INT forms are available for both BBVA and Simple accounts (select an account, then scroll down until you see Annual Tax Documents in the right-hand column). If you did both the Simple and BBVA deals with two players, and had individual and shared accounts, there will be A LOT of 1099-INT forms to download. We have 9 of them altogether.

Do they only send 1099s by mail, not online?

From what I could find, yes. The 1099s for Simple come from BBVA, and I can’t find anywhere online to see them.

It it okay to ACH pull (initiate an ACH transfer from another bank) directly from the PROTECTED account to an external bank?

Absolutely, I’ve done that many times, directly between my goals account and external ones

09/14/19 Account Opened
10/10/19 pulled in 10k & moved into Savings Goal
01/08/20 Bonus received $150

I was one of the unfortunate ones to sign up just before they raised the bonus to $250 but hey, $150 bonus with ~2% interest was still not a bad deal at all!

Thanks, DoC!

I got my $750 bonus tonight as well ($250 x 3 accounts). I already setup transfers to remove all the money and make each account have $0 in it. There are not any monthly fees or any termination fees so I’m not sure how long I will keep the accounts open for. What is everyone else doing? By the way, good guess Gadget on when the bonus would post.

My bonus of $250 posted this evening as well. I immediately initiated a pull from Marcus to withdraw the money. I simply cannot stand their website. It’s just not worth the fee extra bucks a year I might have earned with their slightly better APR. Plus, I have more churning to do.

I already pulled a total of $15K from 3 accounts a few days ago to fund some other new offers. I’ll pull the rest at the end of January. I want to scrape all the interest earned so far and not leave any residual in the accounts.
