Guru’s Wrap-up

A small bonus of only $100, but at least this time it doesn’t require a direct deposit. You need to make 15 debit purchases instead. 1st United Credit Union lets you fund with a credit card, up to $2,000 based on previous data points. So that could be at least another $40. You can also earn 2x rewards with the debit card if you make 30+ purchases a month.
