The Offer
- MemberSource Credit Union is offering a $250 bonus when an existing member refers you (don’t think they get anything?) and you complete the following requirements:
- Receive a direct deposit of $500+
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
reSource checking seems to be the best option at $2 per month and that is waived with 10 debit card purchases.
Early Account Termination Fee
$10 if closed within 120 days according to this fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Feel free to share your referrals in the comments below, but I don’t think you get anything for referring others? Also let us know if hard or soft pull.
