BB&T Bank also has great referral bonuses. If you have an account, you should be able to refer friends and family and you will receive a $100 referral bonus. The referree will still receive this same bonus when they sign up and fulfill all the requirements.
If you have an account, you can post your information in the comments below to earn a referral bonus. In return please share the post on Facebook or Twitter and provide a link to the post on the “website” field when you comment. I’m not very strict about this rule, but please give something in return for posting your referrals.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
Good bonuses, but to receive the $400 offer you need to keep $25K in the account for 3-4 months to waive the $30 fee until you get the bonus and then pay the $25 early closing fee.
Bank bonuses are a great way to earn some extra income, often from the comfort of your home. You can take a look at my bank bonus results for 2022 where I made over $6,000. If this bonus is not for you, then you can check our full list of available bank bonuses. You can also access bonuses available in your state by visiting dannydealguru.com/tag/NY-bank-bonus/. Just replace NY with your state or with “nationwide”.
