My checking account was officially opened on 7/21 (6 days and one verification phone call after I began the process on 7/15). I immediately set up bill pay and made more than two bill payments to other credit cards. I received the $125 "Adjusted Interest" bonus on 8/7. Was the extra $25 for setting up the savings or money market account??
No... that was the bonus.
Maximum bonus amount: $125
Requirements: Direct deposits totaling $500 or two bill payments
Credit card funding: Upto $500. (Thats how i met my requirement but i also did the two bill payments as well.)
Expiration date: August 10th, 2015
When you get Gold or Silver Checking, then you are eligible for S.T.A.R.T for another free $100 bonus on top of the $125 for opening a Silver or Gold checking. Totaling $225.
The U.S. Bank (S.T.A.R.T) program $100 in Rewards Cards is a financial incentive for savers and rewards customers obtaining and maintaining a $1,000 savings account balance. After reaching a balance of $1,000 in your savings account, they will award you a $50 U.S. Bank Rewards Visa Card. Keep a balance of $1,000 or more for a year and earn another $50 Rewards Card.
I didnt go for the extra $100 opening a savings account. I just did the $125 opening a checking account.
