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?

I use one called Screencast-O-Matic but supposedly you can use Windows built in xbox game bar (which I've yet to try) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhW5D-vxOIY

Seems like a scam. A lot of these aren't worth it anymore because of refusal to pay. Have to contact the comptroller of currency

I got targeted credit card offer from us bank, $500 bonus after spending $4500 in 6 months. got my card few weeks ago. Looking at bad reviews here I think I will have to track my reward after spending $4500.

You guys weren't kidding, us bank is garbage haha.
External transfers don't work, even when linking account. Can't link it to my other bank because they require a "customer ID" that doesn't show up anywhere. Mobile deposits limited to $750 per day lmao.

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.
I was surprised how easy it is to switch my DD at the company I work for. (A Large computer corporation.) Yes, moving it to where you really need it stinks. During the pandemic, got bored and focused on free offers, and kept the money separate. Was up $4765 but invested in bitcoin. Still, worth $2017 though. I'll guess I'll do this now.

That's great if you live in one of the states where the offer is available, but 2/3rd's of the US is ineligible.

Quote from HonestMammoth473 :
I opened a US Bank Business account for my sole proprietorship (SP) several months ago when they had the $500 bonus going. First, I couldn't get any money into the account. US Bank wouldn't let me pull and they rejected every push into the account. After nearly a month and several hours on the phone with US Bank - who could only repeatedly tell me that my issue had been escalated to a department that, allegedly, cannot be contacted by anyone for any reason by phone - I was finally able to get money into the account. Unfortunately, I spent the next couple weeks arguing with them again because I couldn't get any money out. Once again, the complaint was escalated to the man behind the curtain. Then came the nastygram from US Bank with an attached IRS form demanding my EIN - something I do not have nor am I required to have for a SP (SS is used). The letter went on to tell me how I could be taxed for any monies in the account and, moreover, if they didn't receive my EIN within X days my assets might be frozen. Attempts to resolve this by phone were futile as I was told I only had 2 options: (1) provide the non-existent EIN (2) have my account and assets frozen. That was the last straw. I closed the account and left the $500 bonus on the table. F US Bank.
You can get EIN over the phone the same day. Your business, but I don't understand why you want to share your SS number, when you could share EIN instead.
