I went to a branch in Florida, and they said that it’s a targeted offer. The banker actually took my address and checked against some system (over the phone). It’s supposedly only available to people who received an ad in the mail.

They told me the same, signed up anyway, calling their bluff because I told them I received but lost a flyer in the mail and asked them to check my address in the database they said they couldn’t do that…

Just completed 5 debit card purchases and online e-statements

We shall see….screenshots ready in hand

So I just spent half an hour in a Whitney Bank branch here in Texas. The banker wasn’t aware of the promotion and I had to give him the url to pull up on his computer. He called a few people and finally got someone who said the promo was only for the Florida and Louisiana markets, so no dice.

Not related to this post but haven’t received your newsletter since Oct. 16. Not shown up in spam either. What’s up?

Hmmm, there is a branch less than a mile from my house and they’re open for another couple hours. No more CC churning for a while while my score recovers a bit… may need to scratch that itch with a new bank bonus. That would be $600 in a couple months with two banks one the Discover $300 comes through.

Turns out I’d misread the times on their site and they’re not open on the weekend. I’ll have to see when I can make time to stop by this week. It’s a five minute drive from my house so it should be possible.

I’ll report on whether it’s a hard pull or not- the thought hadn’t even occurred to me. Makes me pause to consider if I should freeze my EX report.

I went to a branch in Louisiana, seems it is targeted.

damn, finally a regional bank offer that includes TX… but bad timing as I’m currently traveling & out of the country — the one time I finally redeem miles & travel, after being grounded all year. ahh catch 22, but hopefully this one comes back since its an easy $200.

even have a full-service branch nearby my house.

(2) “Offer is non-transferable and cannot be combined with other offers.”

Does this means it’s a targeted offer?

Am I eligible for this offer if I already have a checking account at Whitney?
