Our Verdict
I’m guessing that people that were eligible for the earlier 10% deal won’t be eligible for this one. It’s obviously a good offer but Aspiration makes these needlessly complicated with the initial $50 spend requirement and 10 debit card purchases requirement, seems like they are trying to catch out people not reading the promotion carefully. A lot of readers have Aspiration accounts from the $100 checking bonus, might be worth keeping them open for these sorts of offers.
