You should be able to call 1-888-464-0727 (press 2) to check if you are targeted. A customer service representative may also be able to pull up different offers for you.

Our Verdict
Recently there have been targeted offers of $400+, but the last big public offers were in 2014 (apart from this brief public $100 offer). If you’re targeted, this is a very good bonus due to its easy requirements. Do note that these bonuses are once per lifetime! You can’t take advantage of this one if you’re gunning for a $400 offer.

Hat tip to u/_here_ on r/churning.
I got the same offer but the promo code is different.
just called but not targeted! never had a chkg acct before
I got that offer when I logged into my CapOne cc account. I thought it was just another offer so left it at that.
Why do I need to call? I see the offer on the “direct link”. Thanks.
Because the direct link is visible to the general public, despite being targeted. If you aren’t targeted by their database, you will not receive the bonus (and can then never receive a bonus on a CapitalOne checking account).
Interesting. Thanks.
“and can then never receive a bonus on a CapitalOne checking account” WOW! what? who said it?
All CapOne checking offers include the following language: “To qualify for the bonus, you must be the primary account holder, and this has to be your first 360 Checking account (this includes former Electric Orange accounts, too).”
If I call and am told that I am targeted, can I then apply online, or I need to do it on that phone call?
Should be able to do online I think
Should be able to do it online, just make sure to confirm that the promo code you are entering is correct (per Credit above, there may be different promo codes for the same offer).
Thanks.
Is this the same like the High yield checking?
What do you mean?
Ben, No. The High Yield Checking Account is different from this, 360 Checking Account; and is different from Essential Checking Account.
DOC – When I applied, I called that number and spoke a lady. She told the offer has 2 $250 DD. If I complete that I will get $200 into my account. Ever hear of this option?
I haven’t, but it’s possible. Did you ask if there was an online link?
No I didn’t. I gave her the code that I used from here and she came back with the info.
Hey Sam, I can add here that although I didn’t call, I just logged onto my capitalone credit cards and saw a link to the $200 checking offer. WHen i opened, I got this message as requiremehnts for meeting the $200 bonus
OFFER IS STRICTLY NON-TRANSFERABLE AND ONLY AVAILABLE TO YOU.
To qualify for the bonus, you must be the primary account holder, and this has to be your first 360 Checking account (this includes former Electric Orange accounts, too).
To earn the $200 bonus, you must open a 360 Checking Account between October 27, 2016, and January 31, 2017, 11:59p.m. ET, and receive 2 direct deposits of $250 or more each within 60 days of your acceptance of account terms and conditions. You will receive the $200 credit to your checking account about 90 days after your acceptance of account terms and conditions. This offer cannot be combined with any other Capital One Bank new account opening offer.
Direct deposits must be an electronic deposit of one of the following: your paycheck from your employer, Social Security/pension or other government benefits. Direct deposit is subject to employer or other payor options.
So it appears perhaps thre are different offers depending on which offer you sign up for, albeit for the same quantity
Thank you Johnny — I had seen an offer on my Capital One before I closed so I didn’t see the details. But from the call it seems like this is what I got as well. I wonder if Alliant will trigger a DD on that bonus.
Doc — Any way to trigger CapitalOne 360 DD bonus? Alliant still alive and kicking?
All the DP we have are here: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/knowledge-base/list-methods-banks-count-direct-deposits/#Capital_One_360
I received the 2×250 DD offer shortly before the New Year.
Hesitant to apply as I hear there is a $400 bonus offer with the same requirements.
Over the last 10+ years i had only one checking account and its with BOA which is kinda like the 360 (its called an electronic checking account, they dont offer it anynore) its free but if i use a teller i get charged $12.
For whatever reason i stayed away from opening new bank accounts for bonuses. (Other then the Citi Gold briefly for the AA 50K)
But this Capital one 360 caught my eye.
I just did it and i can honestly say this will be the quickest and easiest $200 i have ever gotten.
It took 3min to fill out my info and boom account is up and running and $200 should be on the way soon.
Plus Capital one has more convienient locations here in Brooklyn then greedy BOA.
I must say Doctor of credit is more then a doctor they actually make us money 😘
Were you targeted?
No
I just opened the account and typed in the code.
After reading here and on that reddit thread I’m not gonna chance it. Looks like in the past people have tried to do this and been denied the bonus at the end. If it wasn’t once in a lifetime I’d give it a shot but I’d rather wait for a sure thing from Cap 1 under these rules…
I guess i didnt read this properly and i thought if this is your first time 360 checking account and i type in the code DCC200 and meet the minimum requirements Im gonna get $200.
So i was wrong.
I called up and asked and they said DCC200 is an amazon $50 gift card and has to be targeted as well in an email.
So i guess i just opened a 360 checking account for nothing 😉
Not the worst thing though ☺️
” Earn a $200 bonus. Use promo code DCC200.” cannot be $50 Amazon gift card!
This is the amazon GC offer: http://amzn.to/2iFeSo1, promo code is AMZ50
Here is a link to the $400 offer
https://www.capitalone.com/bonus400/
But remember it has to be targeted
Dont fool yourself like i did 😜
DP: I opened the 360 checking account on 1/12 using the promo code, and received the $200 bonus today (1/18). I completed requirements by writing two checks to myself and depositing via mobile deposit.
I took a chance and opened this account on 1/11/17 with the DCC200 promo code. As soon as account opened, downloaded mobile app, deposited two checks made out to myself ($10 and $5). These show deposited as of 1/12.
1/18/17: Cha-Ching! New Account Bonus $200
I have no reason to believe I was targeted, but I do have Cap One credit cards.
Did you check if you were targeted before signing up?
I don’t know how to do that. I guess you need to speak to a customer service rep?
It was usually showing for people when they logged into their account.
DP: Opened account on Jan 9th with the DCC200 promo code. Was told by CSR I wasn’t targeted for any CO offer. Don’t have any Capital One (CO) products.
Made 4 transactions (few $1Amazon GC and sent $1 cash app to friends) and saw $200 with message “Cha-Ching! Your bonus is now posted” posted on Jan 18th.
Again, I was not targeted. YMMV
I would like to risk it but I dont see place holder to enter promo code.. can you pls tell me which page we need to enter the code ?
Should be a input box called “reference code” when signing up, call and before finishing, its right before funding page.
