[Targeted - NC & VA] Langley Federal Credit Union $300 Checking & $250 Savings Bonus

Note: The terms say ‘Offer available only to eligible recipients who receive this promotion directly from Langley through the new member acquisition direct mail campaign’ so if you didn’t receive a mailer there is a good chance you’ll be denied the bonus. Some people want an account for the card that earns 10% ($100 cashback per month limit) so are happy to risk it.

To qualify for the $300 checking reward, new and existing members who receive the promotional email directly from Langley must open a Langley Checking account within 30 days of membership open date, receive qualifying deposits of at least $1,000 each month for three consecutive months, and keep the account open and in good standing through the reward payout date. Reward will be deposited into the member’s Langley savings account after the third consecutive month of qualification and after all requirements have been verified.

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Neither account has any monthly fees

Early Account Termination Fee

Wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.

Our Verdict

The savings account earns 3.6% APY when you’re enrolled in eStatements and don’t make more than one withdrawal per month. That makes the savings bonus worth doing (just) as the bonus makes it an extra 2% APY for the $50 and $250 bonuses and 3% for the $150 bonus. Others will prefer to stick to their favorite high yield savings account. The checking bonus is better than the previous referral bonus, although keep in mind the targeted language. Because of that targeted language we won’t add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
