What online transaction?

If it is an online purchase using the debit card, yes.

Any other online transaction, no.

I went to that offer website and logged into it and saw that they approved my deposit as a direct deposit with a check mark on it. That is the hardest part to fulfill this offer. Purchasing is a piece of cake to do.

According to Doctor of Credit, Truist accepts some, but not all bank transfers as direct deposits. However, this may not be 100% reliable: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/kn...ts/#Truist [doctorofcredit.com]

The only sure-fire way is to have it taken from your paycheck. ADP and most other paycheck companies will allow you to add a second bank and transfer an exact amount. Do that for one paycheck to transfer the $500. Once that is done, fix ADP settings and move the $500 wherever you want it to be.
I used my Fidelity brokerage account to deposit $500 and it worked. I got confirmation the day after my deposit cleared. Didn't need to use my paycheck. I also tried using Robinhood first to make the deposit, but that didn't work for some reason.

Online transfer won't work, so ACH transfer will not work. Here is the description of the requirement for direct deposit:

*The definition of a qualifying Direct Deposit is an electronic credit (greater than $0.00) of your salary, pension,
Social Security or other regular monthly income deposited into your new checking account by your employer or
outside agency. Transfers made from one account to another, or deposits made via a branch, ATM, online transfer,
mobile device, debit/prepaid card number or the mail are not eligible direct deposits.
ACH transfer worked for me. I used my Fidelity brokerage account to make the deposit.

I made two deposits to make sure and one from Charles Schwab & one from eBay (selling income). I also completed at least 15 purchases already. Now they let me know on the Truist offer website that $400 will be deposited within 10 days.

I asked most of these questions already. Both of my humans signed up to harvest the fees, so I should have $800 worth of tuna in a few weeks!

- Yes. One or more direct deposits totaling $500. My humans haven't made those yet. I am transferring one cent each from their next paycheck, just to make sure I have the routing numbers are right before sending $500.

- The account has a minimum balance of $500 to avoid fees.

- Self-checkout at the grocery store or gas pump. Scan one thing (or pump half a gallon), pay, repeat fifteen times. My humans will do this at Kroger with 2L bottles of soda.

- You can close after receiving and transferring out the balance (subject to funds availability policy). You aren't required the hold past that.

- You can close the account anytime without penalty (but do it too soon and you won't get the bonus). There is a $30 fee for closing a charged off checking account, but if you behave yourself and don't create a negative balance, that won't happen. Be a financially responsible human.

- You should get the bonus within 4 weeks of meeting all the criteria.

Also a neat thing Truist does is they give you a separate login/website to track your progress on getting the bonus. It will tell you if you have made the required transactions, and when. That's kinda nice.
Thanks, this is helpful. Now I just need the debit card to arrive.

Check your email. Truist has a bonus tracker website, and you should have gotten details about it in email. Register, and you can see if your deposit counted towards the bonus or not.

If the deposit you made qualified as a direct deposit, you should find out in a business day or 2 when they send you an email about it. I did an online ACH transfer from Fidelity, and that worked for me. Now I just need to do the debit card transactions.

I have a question which is not related to Truist and I apologize for that. Chase is offering bonus on their checking account too, but they required direct deposit too. Will an ACH transfer from eBay or brokerage account, Charles Schwab work?

Amazon gift card balance reloads should count as transactions, right?

Edit:

should be good:

"Qualifying Debit Card purchases include purchase transactions, including PIN Point of Sale (POS), recurring transactions, transactions made via tap or through a digital wallet, and signature-based purchases."

Doesn't work with my debit account login and I don't see a way to create a specific one for this site?
