How Does This Bonus Compare?
The bonus is easy to accomplish, especially if you go the debit card transaction route, but the amount is relatively low. Also, the limited geographic footprint makes this a bit more challenging.
$50 and $100 are nice to have bonuses (though you do have to pay a $10 membership fee) if you already planned on getting an account there but otherwise these may be better offers:
U.S. Bank – up to $450
Earn up to $450 when you open a new U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking account and complete qualifying activities. Subject to certain terms and limitations. Offer valid through December 31, 2024. Member FDIC.
Offer may not be available if you live outside of the U.S. Bank footprint or are not an existing client of U.S. Bank or State Farm.
BMO Checking – $300
