US Bank refused to pay my bonus, even after I showed them screenshots I had saved. Never again.

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

Since there is a monthly fee on promo all offered checking account, how soon can you close the account after getting deposit?

Well mine was a credit card opening bonus after a minimum spend. When they found out that I was really only using the card to get the bonus and not putting a significant amount of other spending on it, they refused to give me the bonus. While I understand that they probably have the right to do so, I certainly would not trust them to make good on a promise again.

file a CFPB complaint. I got my money within 48 hours with a diff bank. AN ACTUAL HIGH RANKING executive personally called me to apologize and say they "found an error" and paid out my bonus
Oh hmm that's a good idea. I think it's a bit too late now -- not only have I closed the account but a significant (like 5 years) amount of time has passed since I opened it.

If I'm not working, what exactly could qualify for a direct deposit? I mean, could my husband just transfer money from his Bank of America account onto my US bank one?
No you can't just do bank to bank transfer. Read fine print, it explain what qualify as DD

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

I usually would keep it open a month or two, after receiving the bonus...at least wait till you can withdraw that $400 bonus plus any amount left in the bank, minus maybe $5-10. Then call and ask to close, the worst they can do is jip you off that $5-10!

Not valid if had an account within the last 2 years.
good to know , since I already have a couple of accounts there. It works great for me because it works directly with my Quickbooks and unlike another bank I use, it doesn't deduct the paper check it sends for me until it comes back to them.

Annoying if it's the only way.
This favors those who have higher pay.

Quote from Saboth :
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.
That defeats the purpose of a direct deposit and the real reason: to entice you with the $400 bonus so they can get you to shift your bank deposit account and make the transition back out that much difficult to the point you will stay with US Bank and not others. It's a loss leader.Also, remember you'll have to pay taxes on the $400 bonus.

- does it mean that we should open the account by Sep 2 and the 60-day deposit requirement starts from the opening day, or finish the deposit requirement by Sep 2?
