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 had to fight with chase to get the $225 checking bonus last year. hours and hours on the phone to mostly foreign cs idiots with different answers. took almost a month of this but i finally won. beware.
so many companies like that now. it's getting sad. I was really counting on that great $900 deal too. Probably best I will get anywhere ese is maybe something like $600 and even then who knows when.

what did you do to get the $900 offer? I've had no success.
I'm sorry to say it was a targeted offer. As far as I know there's nothing you can do to get it except wait and hope.

Any way to push a transfer to code as a DD? I know some bank bonuses let you.

Did anyone get an email saying this account qualifies for the $250 bonus at the time of account creation ? Just thinking in case they don't hold on to the promise, whether I have any proof.

Does anyone know if having any of the Delta Amex cards qualifies you for this offer?

Account created 5 days ago, direct deposit of $500 just landed. Waiting for the bonus now.

We just need one $500 DD right to qualify right? I plan to switch my DD to primary bank after the initial $500

Yes that is correct. After my $500 posted, Amex sent me an email telling me I met the requirements and how long the wait was to expect the bonus.

Any Amex cardholder or only for the regular Amex card? I have a business Amex card, I wonder if that would qualify. Thanks!

Question for existing AMEX Checking users: how's the bill pay feature? Does it automatically fetch bills from other billers?
