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!

In my experience, it's not 100% but pretty much like 98% that you will get a 1099. I did a $400 sign up bonus with PNC last year and they didn't send me one and I couldn't log into my account to see...
