Guru’s Wrap-Up

This Bank of the West $150 bonus is not the best offer they’ve had. Previously there was also a $300 bonus, but it required a larger deposit. Now this bonus is even easier since you only have to complete one of the requirements, a direct deposit of $250 or more OR 10 debit card transactions. It’s also fairly easy to keep the account fee free.
