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."

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
Has anyone tried to "send money" with chases checking account successfully for this bonus?

As a data point, I made my direct deposit on Monday 9/25 and I just got the email today 10/3 that I can expect the welcome bonus in 8-12 weeks.
What did your deposit code as for those that received the email of successful bonus?

Can anyone else confirm data point what else makes up for DD requirement? Like a zelle transfer? I read someone mention on DoC forum that rewards from citi cards to this account would constiute as one?

I thought I read amex checking is not in the zelle network. Fidelity transfer apparently work. So far I know robinhood is not available. I am testing ebay/amazon.

So it says under the terms and conditions wire transfer out of Amex checking will incur $20 fees. So does that mean if I transfer money out of Amex to a different bank, I need to pay the $20 fee?

If you use "wire transfer" service -- don't use wire transfer to avoid fee

For those who did DD and got the bonus, did your DD transaction show up as "Online Transfer / Payment: Credit"?
