Called the CA after many attempts to fund with Chase card failed. The CA confirmed only Mastercard can be used for credit card funding.

seems like Chase card cant be used to do cc funding. I tried CSP and CIU, both got “unable to process payment request”

Same over here – CSP didnt work. Did you manage to fund with other credit card and how much?

What is the promo code for this offer? I see an option to enter a promo code in the application, but the promo page doesn’t have anything as far as a code.

Also, is there a limit to how many accounts you can CC fund at once? I saw the application will let you add up to 4 additional savings accounts, so could you really do 6 x $2,500 in funding?

SA You’re the only one that I can see in the comments that’s received this bonus. When you opened your accounts, did you have to enter any promo code in the application? Also, did you have to change your DD through their deposit tool?

I applied OOS in November 2023 and was denied. Chex stats were:
1/1, 5/3, 14/6, and 28/12.

David C got approved from in state app with
Chex of 4/1, 8/3, 14/6, and 19/12.

I’m guessing it’s either due to OOS app since Gadget - Bank Bonus Geek 🔗 thinks it may not be nationwide. Otherwise the only criteria would be from having more inquiries in 12 months than David did. I’d like to try again but it may be a waste at this point. P2 may try as another OOS data point when stats are cleaner.

Lefty Another DP for you. I’m in state but out of footprint and was denied in late December with Chex stats 0/1, 3/3, 4/6, 12/12. The adverse action letter mentioned Chex.

Well that makes it seem that they care more about footprint then stats if you got denied with better stats than David.

Nope. I think it would be a waste of a Chex hit. Just because these credit unions come up with a tax-sheltered foundation doesn’t make it nationwide to bank bonus miners.
