Re: Focusing on checking promos

I havent opened as many accounts as some of you guys, but I have done 4 banks for about $2,000 in the last 12 months. I would love to hit Wells Fargo, but I get an error message saying that I am not in their footprint.

Re: Focusing on checking promos

I'm so glad to see this post here! I just opened PenFed, SECU, and DCU savings to app for cc. Then I started seeing all the SUBs  and thought I could make a few bucks by opening a couple bank accounts each quarter based on the SUB deadlines. 

BoA - $300

PNC - $400

Chase - $500

HSBC - $450

 

I haven't seen any others. But I have also been reading the fine print to make sure I can cover the requirements. #winning

Re: Focusing on checking promos

When I set up the dd for BoA a few weeks ago, I missed a digit in my account number, so my first dd didn't go through! 

Now I think I might need to up the amount to meet the SUB requirements....ugh. 

Just wanted to post and remind everyone to be careful when submitting dd change forms.

Copy & Paste is your friend. And for those annoying sites that try to prevent that there's an add-on for several browsers called Don't F*ck With Paste, I have it in my Firefox browser.

@DaveInAZ 😂😂😂 I love it!!! I refuse to let this SUB get away from me. It looks like the first dd will be a little late, I upped the next few to make sure I meet or beat the requirements! Then on to the next one.

Yes I saw it earlier in the day and will go for it. Way better than the Wells Fargo offer!(the one I'm waiting for)

No fees

Also has Zelle and fee free ACH. 
Pre-pandemic, Capital One Cafes were great to work in with their free or discounted coffee and nice spaces.

Wow!! @randomguy1 and @Anonymous What's the catch? I'm going to check and see if there are any cafes around here. I only have on card with them....I think I had a CapitalOne checking in the 90s.

Re: Focusing on checking promos

is that dependant upon traditional DD, or can ACH deposits work?
