This account also offers $75 for any fees you MAY incur when transferring $2500 in via ACATS within your first 90 days. In fact the reimbursement form does not actually ask if/what you paid to transfer in.

I was able to successfully transfer in from Fidelity (free) and received the reimbursement within 2 business days after requesting.

Did you transfer stock or cash? Wondering if cash would qualify

Thank you Bockrr It worked and I got the $75 bonus as well.  William Charles easy to do ACAT cash bonus that Bockrr mentioned should be up there as well and maybe reposted. Did 2.5K ACAT partial from Bloom savings last week of Feb and once it posted, waited a couple days and filled the form for the 75 bonus. The bonus posted exactly a week later. I was able to ACH transfer out the 2500 cash from Ally through the previously linked bank account immediately after bonus posted. So at most you lose 15 days of interest in transit on the 2.5K. I did leave the 75 bonus plus a little bit just to be safe.

We try to stick to bonuses of $100+

Understood; this could still be a $175 bonus if it is considered along with the 100 bonus that is what this thread is about. The point is people who are doing the 100 bonus may as well get the extra $75 which is a public offer.

Ah that makes sense, let me look into it!

Just a note to anyone doing this: Not a good idea to ACH the 2500 out soon after ACATing it in. Just do a couple trades SGOVs or something and/or wait a couple months before pulling it out. My account got frozen and after a call to CS and several ID verification questions and some further few days of processing, they let me use it. Agent did say it was frozen due to the immediate pull after ACH of the entire amount.

Still haven’t received my $100 targeted bonus.
It’s been 3 weeks now since I transfered 1k. Might give cxs a call.

Be careful. They will NOT pay if you are not tageted. I tried everything short of a BBB complaint and they wouldn’t budge.

Didn’t either however
“We’ll treat the bonus as interest for tax reporting purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor about potential impacts to your 2024 tax liability.”

I think says it all.

Isn’t there a $100 referral too?

Does that stack?

If so can the mods allow posting of referrals someone? I’d love to try for the $200 total

its $50 for referer and $100 for the referee, so $150 in total. the promo caps at 5 referrals ($250) so it’d be nice to get a new page going on Doc since the last one is 2 years old.

There is no stack, per se. The smart play would be to sign-up for the Ally Savings account for the $100 referral, and then hope to be targeted for the $100 Ally Invest bonus at a later date. YMMV Josh

I just opened the ally savings using the referral offer, fine print on it says it’s the only new account-related bonus I’ll be eligible for through the end of the calendar year. Not sure if they mean banking-side only or if I just won’t be targeted for the invest offer or what.

When you applied for the savings, did it pull Chex/EWS?

Trying to apply for P2 so can be targeted for the $100 ally invest bonus as well

It’s been many years so I don’t recall. I believe Ally pulls Chex and EWS for your first-ever deposit account, but then doesn’t pull again when adding an account. However, could be YMMV. I know they didn’t pull again for adding a no-penalty CD.

They likely pull neither for the Invest account. Brokerages generally do not pull Chex or EWS, although Fidelity pulls EWS, so there are exceptions. I have never opened Ally Invest.

Just completed a $100 targeted bonus:
10/28 Open Ally Invest
10/28 deposited $1005 from Ally accounts (not new money)
11/1 Withdraw $980
11/11 $100 bonus!
I had a closed Ally Invest acct with the account# still showing so the account doesn’t have to be completely “new” to qualify.

I share a joint checking and savings with my p2 and we each have logins, for some reason my email account received the ally invest $100 emails and hers did not. Is it possible to use the link i was given to sign up under her login to also get the promotion or does she need to have rec the email as well?

5/29 auto tx a
6/03 auto tx b
7/01 auto tx c
8/01 auto tx c
8/08 $100 CROSSOVER PROMO

Because of poor planning, had to redo the auto-transfer scheduling 3 seperate times. So, 4 transfers were part of 3 different automated schedules.
