I was looking for that, no retention requirement at all?
I can't say for sure but that seems to be the consensus. Somebody said they called a customer service rep and they confirmed no holding period, but you never know I guess.

Man I already have discover bank accounts since very long ago. Is it not available at all for existing customers?

Thanks, probably just going to leave money in there to pay credit card, unless they significantly underperform the market.

Rule #1 of slickdeals, never call.
So, then you wants to call when they dont post the bonus?
Great investment philosophy.

Quote from Boz1 :
Yeah. This is a big problem. I also called, and was told having an IRA does NOT disqualify me from getting the $450 bonus on a new $35,000 savings account! But I don't want to go to the trouble of opening an account if I won't get the $450.

I wish the CSRs knew better what they are talking about, or at the very least don't give different answers to the same questions.
I agree. That's why I opted out. However, most banks offers 2.35% as of today, so if $35k sitting in another bank earning 2.35% APY, then there is no harm transferring into Discover to earn the same 2.35% APY, but based on unclear information from them you may get $450 bonus. Its a gamble.

Account opened 10/24. Pushed $35k from Citi on 10/25, Bonus $450 posted today 10/26. Easiest bonus offer ever.
You're so right. I opened one for spouse, and forgot about it thinking it will take month to post bonus. After seeing your post I logged into our account, and saw that $450 bonus was already posted. Thank you for alerting.

Thanks

Yes you can. If she's not a joint account holder in your existing account.

My account ach cleared on 10/25 from Ally Bank to Doscover

Discover added the bonus $450 on 10-26

I will pull it back to Ally, and then take a swing at another bonus from Discover for my wife.

Maybe make it a double play for $900

Does Discover pull from Equifax only? I need to lift my credit freeze.

I was trying to open a joint account with wife as the primary acct holder. It didn't even give me a choice to do that then asked me to call in. The rep put me on hold then came back and told me I would need to get a document notarized and a copy of her driver license LOL. He said that's what the system told him. I then told the rep to cancel the application.

CaptialOne did ask me for a copy of driver license but none of them have ever asked me to go to a notary and I have accts with Vio Bank, CapitalOne and Amex.

Come to think of it I did apply for a saving acct with Discover a long time ago and something about the process that pissed me off causing me to cancel the application.

Fyi - bonus posted 1 day after my $35k deposit but they emailed saying funds won't be available for withdrawal for 30 days. So while there might not be a holding period requirement for the deal, they'll do a hold probably since it's a new account.

Could you please share this email?
Did you have some other account with Discover prior to opening savings?
Thanks

Yes I had a credit card but not a savings account. It came the day after the $35k hit the account.
