Hi, first time posting.

Not familiar with Bank of the West, but it beats the recent BBVA-USA's $200 bonus for $500 Direct Deposit https://slickdeals.net/f/14814073-200-bonus-on-bbva-free-checking-account-with-500-direct-deposit-by-4-30-21-select-states?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1 in terms of total bonus, but much higher minimum. So, not that slick in hindsight.

Got this email in my promotional folder of Gmail. Might be targeted with the promo code, but opening the URL in an incognito tab shows the "Your promo code will be applied automatically." message

https://www.bankofthewest.com/cam...bonus.html

Get $250 when you open an
Any Deposit Checking account.
Open by 4/02/2021 and make qualifying deposits.1

Any Deposit Checking account must be opened by 04/16/2021. This offer can be applied to any other new consumer checking account (minimum $100 to open), except UCB Student Checking and Bank of the West Premier Checking accounts.

One or more separate direct deposits in a single calendar month that add up to $1,000 qualify. Fulfillment of the offer requirements is based on calendar months which may not coincide with statement cycles.

  • A qualifying direct deposit must be payroll, Social Security, pension or other government benefits.

Thanks, OP.

This worked out great for me.

Just an FYI, there was chatter online about this bank occasionally offering the same bonus, but without

the direct deposit requirement, for those who cannot jump through that hoop.
