Hmmm, no other recent bonuses for them, so no clue on what might or might not trigger as a DD via ACH... Kinda risky if you don't have a legit DD to use.

Do we need to report this to IRS tax? afaik any amount under $600 is not taxable. But If someone getting 2 promotion eg 400 and another 300 from 2 different bank, does it become taxable?

The bank will send you (and IRS) an 1099-int early next year.

Got a message about my account being in review on the website, then an immediate denial email. Guess I'm calling when they open!

Quote from TruongKy :
is 388 their magic lucky number?
Chinese Lunar New Year.

In China...

Number 3 is associated with living
Number 8 is associated wealth

A grouping of 3 items is considered extremely lucky.

So, 388 means live wealthy x2 with luck.

Worked for a medsurg company that had a Chinese director of r&d. Our 888 camera was an incredible seller. He named it that, so found out what all the numbers meant in China.

If the account is closed within 6 months from the account opening date, the bonus may be forfeited or deducted at closing.

This happened to me so I called them to figure out why. Turned out the occupation I chose from the list was the culprit. I just chose Unemployed then everything went fine. Also that 2FA code goes to your email. Nothing came to my phone. I had the almost same experience as you, but I just never gave up.
Has that solved the denial issues for others as well?

Funny that they prefer unemployed over working.

They're a Korean-American bank, so 88 is indeed a lucky number to them. So $388 instead of "unlucky" $400.

Reviews are horrible for this bank although I don't plan on keeping it long term. So do you have to maintain direct deposits for 6 months or just one and done and wait to 6 months to close account?

Interesting. I chose attorney, because that's my job. I guess I'll call them tomorrow. The 2FA code definitely came to my phone via sms. I'm looking at it.

I mean you should be keeping your accounts open for about 6 months if you're in the churning game.

Also got denied by answering with the unemployed that another was advised to use.
