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."

Can we push a deposit from another bank (ie Discover Bank) and have that satisfy the DD requirement like it did for the recent Cap One deal? Anyone have success?

Open a checking account on 09/26/2023 and got the bonus on 10/03/2023 with single direct deposit. Much easier than Wells Fargo's $325 bonus.

Did you try a push from Discover Bank or was it a different bank? I see some folks have success pushing money from Fidelity though...

THe $250 incentive just hit for me, 1 week after the first deposit hit. Now the key question, when can i transfer funds out to basically close the account? I think it's as soon as you receive the bonus....

From the terms: "You must keep your account open and in good standing until we award you your welcome Bonus. If your account is closed for any reason prior to such time, including being closed by us, you will not be eligible for the Welcome Bonus. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated the Rewards Checking Account Terms or have engaged in abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with your account, we may determine that you are not eligible for the Welcome Bonus. In such circumstance, we may rescind or decline to award you the Welcome Bonus."
My bonus hit on 10/5 as well. Transferred it to my AMEX Savings on 10/7. Still have my $5 base in checking - will probably leave it open for another month or so.

May I ask what is push from fidelity? I have thr cash mgt account, and I added the new Amex routing and acc number, fidelity needs to verify with trial deposits.

So after the fidelity account is verified, do I just a transfer sending $500 to Amex, is that all I need to do?''yhanks so much

Sounds like you have the right idea Smilie "Push" means to send money via transfer as opposed to a "pull" which withdraws money from the other account

Yes -- use Fidelity's transfer page to push funds from Fidelity to Amex account
