Re: Penfed giving $200 to open an Access America Checking

Happy thread Resurrection! My $200 bonus was credited yesterday. Keeping the account, Penfed is much better than it used to be, often 1 day ACH transfers and I've had up to 7 external accounts and haven't hit a limit yet. When I closed my previous checking in 2018 it was always 3 day ACH and limit of 5 external accounts, not worth the $500 balance/DDs to avoid a free.

I didn't get mine yet. 

I read your nightmare on UMB btw on DoC. I'm suffering through the same issues with verification.

Maybe they're paying the bonus in the order accounts were approved/opened? I opened my account 5/4 as soon as I saw it on DoC, and since I've been a member since 2017 it was immediately approved.
