For those who received the bonus in the tax year 2022, have you received your 1099-INT forms? I closed my account in 2022 and have not received it yet in the mail nor can I access my account online.

Dev Type in “Affinity” in the search bar in the comments. You may have to call them and have them email it to you since you can’t get it with your old login.

P2 got a targeted email for new round of DD offers, $150 for 3 months with a $1500 DD (single shot)
First one must hit by 3/31, payout by 6/30
nothing for P1, neither got the offer last year….seems like only real DDs worked for this?

I see this 150 (3x DDs of 1500 or more) offer when I log into my account. P2 does not. P2 never got the SUB last time. We used Capital one, wells fargo, chase, amex business checking, sofi. None of them triggered a bonus for P2. P1 used real DD. Bonus was received for P1. There are DPs of some institutions triggering the bonus, but it did not work for P2.

I did not get an email. Do not see anything when I sign in. Seems to be targeted I guess?

Was about to close this account out and noticed Chase DD did not work for me.

Chase didn’t work for the extra $50

Schwab Brokerage is what got me the initial $150. Probably could have used that one again, but thought the system might not have picked it up the second time around.

FWIW, P2 had to contact them to get the $50 Direct Deposit bonus, using real (P1’s) DD’s. P2 sent an SM Monday night (8/1), and the bonus posted Tuesday night (8/2) after they responded.

P1 never received the targeted $50 emails, so I am not going to bother contacting them. I did put a couple of random fake DD’s on the account to see if what would happen. I got my answer: NOTHING.

Closed account with SM. They made ACH deposit to an external bank instead of mailing the small remaining balances.
