Same thing happened to me with a CC. I won't do business with them again.
I will say that I've dealt with them as a professional banker, and at least with the one time this rep didn't know what they're doing.

I did this earlier in the year and did get the bonus, but found US Bank to have the worst checking account I've used. They capped transfers at $1000 at a time - and to clarify, you could literally not start another until the first had cleared + an extra day or two - each took about a week. So it took close to the whole month to be permitted to transfer what I desired to my other account/brokerage each month. It also would not let me do any transfers via their app, where I'm accustomed to these things now - I had to go to my computer to do any banking. They couldn't fix any of these things when calling support or in the branch. I closed that account as soon as the bonus was safe!

I always see these but never do them as switching over my paycheck at work, then having to either transfer money to my main bank account to pay bills or switch over all my bill pay accounts to a new account just seems like too much work. If they just allowed you to move money from one account to another and count it as "direct deposit", it would be more tempting.

Did you ask him to say the magic word first? :-)

I have taken advantage of such bonuses a few times with Citi, WF, Regions, BOA etc. Luckily never had any issues besides waiting for the 2-3 months timeframe to get the bonus. I have a CC with US Bank, will def try this out.

I actually missed the call and it went to voicemail. I called back and left a message saying "Do not call back unless it is to tell me you're paying me" - got a call back soon after saying "We apologize and credited you"

This. 100% this.

Did any bank really learn NOT to open fake accounts that their customers didn't request after wells fargo? I think not.

Always screen record when doing things like this. Same with cashback sites. I haven't had to use the recordings often, only once or twice, but worth it.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

FYI, they will try to screw you out of your promo bonus, by claiming the account was not opened with promo code included.

since usually any promo will require you to wait from 90 days all the way to 6 months (perhaps more), they can easily get away with it.

not even showing the evidence will help.

just beware

I got my $400 earlier this w/o an problems and very quickly also. Like a week after the $4000 total was directly deposited. Also did a bonus deal from them 5yrs ago w/o any problems. Not sure why others are having problems. I've never had problems with banks paying their bonus offers except Provident Credit Union and even then 1 email solve everything
