-Mar, opened/completed Wells Fargo and received in 3 mts (June) the $325 Bonus.
-Apr, opened/completed Chase and received the $225 bonus immediately (same month) after direct deposit was made.
-Today, opened US Bank and setup direct deposit to receive the $400 bonus after 2 or more deposits totaling $4,000 or more.
I am now researching BMO Harris and their $500 cash bonus when you have a total of at least $7,500 in qualifying direct deposits within the first 90 days.

I checked with them. They dont offer money account anymore. So no option to open just checking account. Both checking and saving accounts will be open with an application.
Why you guys just want to open checking only? I am curious

1. Direct Deposit Bonus: It will take up to 2 weeks plus 25 days to receive this bonus.
2. Referral Bonus: Because I created my online profile before clicking the referral link to open my accounts, I do not quality for the referral bonus.
3. Transfer Bonus: The transfer fund bonus requires a maintenance period thru Nov. 30. So we will receive the transfer fund bonus after November.
==============================
For direct deposit, their is a 25 day evaluation period from the first date of direct deposit and then a 2 week payout.
For the balance promotional reward = Transfer (aka Balance Growth) Period: Bonuses are determined by account balance growth between 8/31 - 9/30
Maintenance Period: The Balance Growth is to be maintained in the account between 10/1 - 11/30
Payout Period: All Members who meet the requirements will be paid between 12/1 - 12/14
Can someone confirm this is a hard credit pull?

Evaluation Period: The Evaluation Period begins when SoFi receives a Qualifying Direct Deposit (within the Promotion Period) and ends 25 days later (the "Evaluation Period"). The bonus amount will vary based on the total amount of Qualifying Direct Deposits received during the Evaluation Period. Once the Evaluation Period has elapsed, we will determine if you have met the offer requirements and will deposit any earned bonus into your checking account within 7 business days. For example, if SoFi receives between $1,000.00 and $4,999.99 in Qualifying Direct Deposits during the Evaluation Period, you will receive a cash bonus of $50. A member may only qualify for one bonus tier and will not be eligible for future bonus payments if inflows subsequently increase after the Evaluation Period.
