Capital One is offering $400 bonus when you open a new checking account with promo code BONUS400

To receive the bonus you must make at least 2 direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more to your 360 Checking account within 60 days of account opening

Full Details:

Capital One reserves the right to withdraw this offer, with or without notice, in its sole discretion if it is determined that fraud or any other factor beyond its control is impacting the integrity of the offer and campaign.

Here's the full scoop on how to earn your $400 bonus:
  1. Open a 360 Checking account between 12:00 a.m. ET on November 9, 2020, and 11:59 p.m. ET on January 26, 2021. When you open your account, enter your promotional code—BONUS400.
  2. Receive at least 2 direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more to your 360 Checking account within 60 days of account opening. A qualifying direct deposit is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit, which may include payroll, pension or government payments (such as Social Security) by your employer or an outside institution.
  3. This account is subject to approval. This offer cannot be combined with any other 360 Checking account opening offers. Only one promotional code is accepted. Bonus is only valid for one new 360 Checking account.
Mobile deposits are available only in the U.S. and U.S. territories.

When will I get my bonus?

Your bonus will be deposited into your new 360 Checking account by the date stated below:

Just opened it. I can see why people missing the bonus code, it's on the external transfer account page instead of the main page. so whether you plan to add a bank account to not just visit the page and make sure the code is auto-populated if not enter/copy-paste manually. you should see a banner on the final page if code is entered. Btw I already have a capital one account so I didn't receive any alert from credit monitoring that inquiry was posted or there was a hard pull. Most of my information was auto-filled and when I clicked next it displayed - doing necessary checks, doing govt mandated checks, and verifying records and finally displayed - good to go. Thanks
Nope. When you click I will fund later, you can still see the code applied and it gives a green tick mark. Also, you can see later pages showing that.


And just to confirm, I had called the CSR after opening the account and they had confirmed that I used the promo code.

The $600 IRS (1099 MISC) minimum reporting requirement is for vendors that provide services to companies. Bank 1099-INT reporting has always been done differently. By law, you are still required to report any and all income regardless whether the company sent you a 1099. I get a few 1099-INT forms from banks for as little as $10.00. Almost all banks issue 1099-INT forms for interest income earned from account opening promotions. One year I got a $200 1099 for an Ipod from Bank of the West. In recent years, I average between $1500 and $3000 in bank bonus interest annually and there has only been a couple of times that I can recall not getting a 1099-INT for a bank bonus.
thats very odd, since i never get a 1099 for earning rewards cash deposited into my bank account with chase.

Will opening or eventually closing this checking account cause any impact to credit score?

Rewards cash are treated differently as well. They are "reimbursements" and therefore are not taxable.

Too many questions, very little proven facts. Guys, this offer barely started a few days ago, no way anyone can tell you which methods/banks work or don't work for sure. It take a few days to even verify external accounts.

BUT the most common facts I've gathered:

Checking Accounts DONT hardpull your Credit (worst case is a soft pull, checking has its own point system)

Definitely need more than 1 qualifying deposit - 2,3,4,5 deposits totaling more than $1000

You dont have to keep 1000 in there (according to ppl speaking to reps), but personally ill always keep minimum $1k there to be safe.

For qualifying deposits:

Paypal, Venmo, Cash DONT work (99% sure from previous data from other banks AND Cap1 itself)
Other popular banks - Chase, BoA, WellsFargo, Discover DONT work anymore (99% fail chance)
Less popular banks - may or may not work, no clue, roll your dice
Broker accounts - may or may not work, but higher success rate than banks, roll your dice
Payroll, Government benefits deposits - YES, these are listed on the terms, what the offer aimed for.

Additional info: your bank transfers should be a PUSH from other accounts into CapOne to have a chance to qualify as ACH Direct Deposit. Should also try as scheduled/repeated transfer (can cancel the scheduling after transfer completed) for better success rate.

Currently don't know of any confirmation from CapOne even if we have completed the requirements or not, yet. Give it a few weeks, hopefully ppl get good news and provide some data point.

Your ONLY concern right now should be applying code BONUS400 while signing up, AND try your best it sticks...It's very tricky, different from cases to cases. Sadly no way to be sure.

I would say don't fret over if the code sticks or not. There seem to be no guarantee as there is no 100% confirmation in the end.
Calling the customer support to confirm is of no help as they don't give you anything in writing. So there is a scope for denial.
So, just do what you have to do to open, make those applicable deposits and sit tight.
The fight (if at all) will begin after the month of March 2021.
Then if you don't get the bonus, you have lost nothing. Just take the money out if you already didn't and go with your life with a lesson learned.

Btw, with so many people wondering what counts as a valid DD, why doesn't someone ASK them? Then we'd know. Then again companies have such bad CS now, they probably won't know what they are talking about, anyway.

The problem is it's probably not goof to keep opening a ton of checking accounts, so it's keeping people from maybe choosing some other bank to do one of these for.

We should have screenshotted the success page I guess..

Anyway, my problem isn't the code, it's that I may not be able to get the first DD in there, so then would be stuck with only one and nobody knowing an easy way to do one.

Don't you think if I sell an item on amazon, once they enter my funds into an account, that would qualify? I may sell one of my items for cheaper than normal to get it done quickly and get them to thus deposit.

Assuming amazon selling is how it used to be, they put it in your account on THEIR schedule, so it's them doing it, which seems to me it would be considered direct deposit for business.

I have a Capital One 360 Performance Savings account, it's not same as 360 checking account, so I am still eligible for this offer, correct?

If your work paycheck is direct deposited change it to the 360 checking account.
Don't have either that option or SS. Am I out of luck?

No one knows.

People are trying to trigger it by making deposits from Paypal, other banks, or brokerages, but no one knows if it will trigger the reward.

The only "for sure" way that we know of right now is SS or payroll.

Warriorsfan's post above sums it up.
