I've been an Amex Savings customer for many years now and have had zero problems with it.
Just logged into my Amex account, applied and was accepted for the checking account. Thank you!

They definitely will. Most banks send 1099's for SUB and Amex did when I did this in 2023.

You might be thinking 1099-K for eBay sales with the $600 threshold. For bank bonuses you WILL get a 1099-INT no matter the amount.
