I signed up for this in March 2024. I do not believe I saw an expiration of 12-31-23, but I definitely see it now. If someone has a screenshot of the top of the page without the 12-31-23 expiration, please let me know!

Currently being denied bonus, which might actually be fair, but I could have sworn I did not see an expiration.

I think it expired at the beginning of 2024, at least I saw it in January 2024:

ShawntheShawn Thank you. It looks like you called it out as being expired on the page as early as January. I took a ton of screenshots of the page, but I can’t exactly prove that it wasn’t there so this might be a learning opportunity for me haha.

I know this is expired, but it seems like a lot of the credit unions that say [state only] are actually nationwide with some kind of donation. Should I just start clicking on everything?

Yep, click on everything, and look for “OOS”. Or just be the DP you want to see. Dirk

DoC doesn’t list everything as nationwide because the flood of applications would kill it before it even started. Plus, there is always a chance an account is closed after getting approve when opening from out of state, and until that bonus posts, nothing is guaranteed.

I will let you in on a little secret…

Almost every credit union is NATIONWIDE

IF, you are an immediate family member of an existing member, for example.

Sometimes, the family member just needs to live in the right area and not even be a member. (seen that in some Wisconsin CU’s)

Some have charities you can join, for the low, low price of $5 or $10. But, they can quickly stop honoring that for those outside their normal footprint.

My original post was marked as spam after I edited it too many times, attempting this again.

DP for Fidelity CMA as DD, YMMV

9/26/23: applied for checking and savings account with promo code BONUS
10/4/23: accounts opened with $500 in savings account from Citi Double Cash coded as purchase
10/13/23: $260 transfer from Fidelity CMA
10/16/23: $260 transfer from Fidelity CMA
10/25/23: $1515 transfer from Fidelity CMA (for money market account)
10/30/23: 5x $5 Amazon reloads
3/14/24: sent message asking about debit card transaction and DD bonuses
3/15/24: 2x $100 bonuses received

I sent an innocuous message on 3/14/24 mentioning I opened my accounts in Oct 2023 with the promo code BONUS and that I thought I had met the terms of the debit card transaction and DD bonuses. The CSR replied that it was being escalated to their marketing team, then I received 2x $100 bonuses today on 3/15/23 without sending any more information.

I also opened the money market account on 11/1/23 with $2K and still have a couple months before I will meet the terms for the final $100 bonus I attempted.

Got my 1099-INT, they only reported the interest earned for the funds in the money maker acct for part of the bonus… only $10 and change in box 1.

Anyone else?

Same here, only have interest from the accounts, no bonus amount listed on the 1099-INT. I asked for a correction and they stated they will not correct. Guess I will just fix it myself…

I called 800-374-2758 on 01/02/24 at 3:17pm and asked is there an expiration date to enroll using the promo code ‘BONUS’ to Earn Up To $500?

I spoke to Tiffany and she said said no, the promotion is ongoing.

Offer expired as of 12/31/2023” is highlighted on the promotion page. I trust what is written down more than what is said by a CSR. Many CSRs do not have the knowledge or up-to-date information and often bs.

Not sure when they added this. But if you have screenshots showing otherwise when you applied (assuming you did it), you can fight if they deny you the bonus.

Use the USSFCU code when joining the ACC… The cert you get will say Virginia.

I am an existing member. I checked my inbox and I got nothing about that particular promo, even though they are not shy about emailing.. And, no end date on the promo page.
