Guru’s Wrap-up
This bonus has been $300 in the past, but it is still a decent amount of cash even at $250. However there’s some issues with it. First the bank is Chex sensitive, so if you’ve had too many new bank account recently, they could close your account even after approving you. Then the bonus takes 240 calendar days to post and you still need to keep the account open for 365 calendar days in order to keep the bonus. Those reasons will probably turn most people away, as you also need to keep $2,500 in the account to avoid a $10 fee.
