To avoid the monthly fee, it says, "No fee with $1,000 in total monthly deposits." So can I do the deposit and then transfer the money out a day or two later?

I'm not sure about Huntington but I just finished a US Bank promo and would Zelle the funds out as soon as they hit. I would only keep $5 in there and had no problem with the waived monthly fee.

Thanks. I assumed it would be fine, but wasn't sure.

My work is pathetic and doesn't offer direct deposit - paper checks only. Anyone know a way to "fake it"? They specifically say paypal/venmo/etc won't count.

Each bank has its own rules, I didn't look through these yet, pls consider reading through fine print (small font bank jargon) to avoid surprises.

Some promos allow ACH credits from other banks, uncertain of this one
Which means you could push from your other bank to Huntington and it could potentially be eligible

I just completed this bonus with Huntington. I set WorkDay to elect $1K of my paycheque to the Huntington account and after it posted I would have it transferred via Chase external accounts leaving a 0$ balance. Huntington will email you daily (unless you opt out) of the balance being at 0$ - no biggie. After I received the $400 bonus in my account I had that transferred out. After all that cleared I called Huntington and directed the account to be closed which takes 7-10 business days. Finally I went back into WorkDay and removed the payment election. This is all a very simple process for a free $400.

If you have a 401(k) and can take out a small loan that works, but you'd have to do it for three straight months and that would be aggravating. My 401(k) is through Fidelity and I can take out a loan of as little as $1k. If I pay it back within 30 days (which I would do for this instance if I needed to) then there are no fees and the rate of return is so low right now the $400 is a better deal.
