I had a negative experience with this bank a few years ago. They froze my account when I tried to transfer funds and attempted to force me to go into a branch, the closest of which was 100s of miles away, to have it unfrozen. Took a complaint with the now-neutered CFPB for them to give in.

Quote from pokerfreak07 :
Many of us do these bonuses, but I figured I would post for those unaware or new to the Checking signup game. Deposit $500 through direct deposits and receive $400. Be aware of requirements to avoid monthly fees, one of them is to deposit $1k/month until bonus is paid out. You will receive a 1099 at tax time for it, but new bank accounts do not impact your credit report at all. Enjoy the free money!

From the offer page:

Qualifying direct deposits are regular, periodic automated clearing house (ACH) credits, which may include payroll, salary, pension or government payments (such as Social Security). Deposits that DO NOT QUALIFY are those through the Real-Time Payments (RTP) network, and payments through peer-to-peer networks such as PayPal, Zelle, Venmo or others. These do not qualify as direct deposits. Transfers from another Huntington deposit account also do not qualify.

Probably yes since they always ask about citizenship when opening a new account in the US.

That's usually due to fraud prevention reasons.

I know that they have that in the terms... but I live in Massachusetts and have churned Huntington as Player 1 and Player 2 2x each in the last 4 years without issue on the bonuses. I am not sure how strict they are about enforcing it.
