This is an easy $250, but the ACH deposit needing to be from employer or government kind of sucks. My employer only allows for my entire check to be moved through a direct deposit request and not just a portion
Should highlight that this is only for existing Amex card holders,
Having trouble changing my DD to this account with my employer. "Routing number does not exist in the system."

I'm wondering if just the deposit of $500 is enough to get the bonus, or if I could deposit the $500, then transfer it out to where I need it, and just keep the account open (with little balance) until the bonus is added
Can supplementary card holder quality for this $250?
My brother (who is a supplementary card holder but doesn't have an AmEx card of his own) got a message saying he wasn't qualified for the offer when he tried.
Does NOT work for the Amazon Pay w/ Points promos. I learned the hard way when they first launched the Amex checking account lol. I closed the account month ago. This account can only use the account reimbursement points redemption (unless you also have an Amex MR credit card) from what I recall.
I wonder if I'm eligible for the bonus now if I open a new account (terms don't state anything about previously having the account). It still shows on my Amex app but as closed, which is very annoying to still see.

They almost always say this, and it's almost always BS. Haven't tried this one myself but just a guess. No harm in trying PayPal Robinhood Venmo etc.
