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?

Also another way to avoid the fee is to get the Altitude Reserve, which is a fantastic card if you are willing to use Apple Pay. That's what I did

The good news is that if you open one account, they might open 2 or 3 more for you!

I understand that the terms don't specifically include them, but I'd be interested to hear from anyone who successfully gets the bonus with a P2P or interbank transfer. I'm currently in school and don't have income or benefits that met the listed DD terms.

What will happen if I close the account after getting $400 ?
They go to your grandmother's house and push her down the stairs. Then they knock up your sister. After you've met the terms of the deal, you are under no obligation to stay.



Quote from SliQdick :
Doubt it. Highly doubt this to be true. If you have documentary evidence to support your claim and presented it to the bank and they still declined your claim, then that means 1 of 2 things: 1) UDAAP violation, or 2) you did it wrong.

Trust me, I work at a bank in risk and deal with complaints compliance daily. US Bank is a giant who is frequently audited and constantly under regulatory scrutiny, they won't not pay a promo if you met the criteria.
As I'm genuinely curious, I usually ask for people to post redacted emails of rejections for things like this after explaining and showing proof and then never hear from them again.

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.
What app do you use for screen recording ?

How long of a gap is needed to get the reward again ?

It's because they don't have the proof! Like I said, 99% of the time it's user error but if it's proven bank error, they make it right because o
If they don't and it gets escalated to the CFPB and there's evidence of wrong doing, well you know the rest 👍

They declined my application for some reason. Not sure why. I haven't opened/closed any Checking accounts in the past year.
Have any charge offs either credit related or deposit account over $50? Check the adverse action letter when you get it in the mail.

I did it for July and only got $300 out of the $400. Not sure why, but not going to open a case and have them take it back for some made up reason. Taking the $300 and closing it.
Hopefully you know how long the account needs to remain open before you can close, otherwise they reserve the right to recoup their losses.

Anyone in NY got approved? I believe if you reside in certain states it does not let you open.

The negative posts, crazy transfer limits/restrictions and fact that there are no physical branches anywhere near me or surrounding states have my spidey senses buzzing.

A no go for me but good luck to those who are comfortable with the risk.
Meh, I've made about 7k in bank bonuses this year alone and have another 2.5k currently pending. Opened with most of the major banks, a few smaller fintech startups, and a couple of credit unions. Never had any issues with getting paid out.

You'll find that people have something negative to say about EVERY bank in existence. That's just the nature of what happens when you deal with an extremely high volume of customers in a service oriented market. It's just that the people with negative experiences are significantly more vocal than the overwhelming amount of people with positive experiences. Don't let human nature of gravitating to fear cloud your judgement. Scared money don't make money.
