Upgrade Rewards Checking, Get $500 Bonus With Line Of Credit

Upgrade has a $500 bonus available for new Rewards Checking accounts. To get this bonus you also need to open a personal credit line, which means a hard pull. But for a $500 bonus it should be worth it, if you’re not worrying about Chase 5/24. This offer is only available through Credit Karma. Check out the details of this Upgrade $500 bonus below.

Offer

Get your own personal credit line and a $500 bonus when you open a Rewards Checking account and make 3 debit card transactions.

To qualify for the welcome bonus, you must open and fund a new Rewards Checking account and make 3 qualifying debit card transactions from your Rewards Checking account within 60 days of the date the Upgrade Card account is opened. To qualify, debit card transactions must have settled and exclude ATM transactions. Your Upgrade Card and Rewards Checking account must be open and in good standing to receive a bonus. 

The bonus will be applied to your Rewards Checking account as a one-time payout credit within 60 days after the 3rd qualifying card purchase.

Eligibility

• This offer is available nationwide.
• If you have previously opened a Rewards Checking account or do not open one as part of this application process, you are not eligible for this welcome bonus offer.

Fees

There are no account fees, overdraft fees, annual fees, or transfer fees associated with Rewards Checking accounts.

I’m not sure if there’s an early closing fee for this account.

Guru’s Wrap-up

This is a good bonus if you don’t mind an extra hard pull on your credit report. You just need to open the accounts and make three transactions.

Upgrade Rewards Checking customers also get 2% cash back on common everyday expenses at convenience stores, drugstores, restaurants and bars – including deliveries – and gas stations, as well as recurring payments on utilities and monthly subscriptions including phone, cable, TV and other streaming services, and 1% cash back on all other debit card charges. 2% cash back is limited to $500 in rewards per calendar year.
