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."

Is there a promo code or anything? I was approved but just clicked the apply button on the offer page. Didn't receive any confirmation that a bonus was applied to my account.
