Our Verdict
I don’t see any holding terms, so looks like you just need to deposit the money. Although it’s possible more detailed terms will be added before 9/1/25. Will be added to the best bank bonuses depending on that.

This is awesome. The people of DOC broke the promo offer while still in the womb! That’s gotta be a new one!
Anything? Link is no good.
so there is nothing even today is 09/03/2025
It was an April Fools joke in August
I asked CS about the promo. Agent said she has no info on it.

Link not working today also on 9/2. Was supposed to start 9/1
ah, the ol’ DoC switcheraoo
It is now 9/1/25. Can’t find a working link…
Probably due the today being a holiday?
Then why start the promo today if they weren’t gonna kick it off?
I don’t work for the bank. I can’t answer this.
it was somewhat rhetorical
Do the accounts pay any interest?

Not competitive rates, no. So, we need to know the terms, that were not shown, on the holding period. More than likely they will want a 3-6 month commitment, if not longer, but it’s just my speculation. They can change the terms and bonus amounts before release, since the promo wasn’t even active yet.
