Just wanted to chime in here I pulled my Chex report to see if CIT was watching what I was doing and I found out popular has been in my soft inquires 8 times since they closed my account back in February. I recently was denied for key point and the police credit union and popular again in soft inquires. That’s wild I don’t even have an account there they closed it lol

You seemed to bury the lead. What did you discover about CIT?

Tried to downgrade the checking to the Easy Access checking, but got a message asking me to go the branch coz there is discrepancies in my information. Has anyone seen this?

Does the 8k in savings count to avoid the fee?

I’ve also did real DD, but it was later in January. Two real DDs each month and over 12 debit card transactions. Still no bonus.

I got the $500 Checking bonus yesterday. I ended up not doing the Savings bonus after seeing the reports of account shutdowns. Here is my DP:

12/10 – account opened
1/24 & 2/7 – $2500+ real DDs
2/5-2/10 – 12 $1.0x EZ Pass payments using debit card
3/24 – $500 bonus posted

I will try to downgrade the checking account to Easy Access ($250 monthly DD to avoid $3 fee) and keep it open for another 3 months to avoid the ETF. Although I very well might get shut down before then as I plan to apply for a bunch of accounts that pull Chex that I’ve been holding off on.

Nice, looks like they paid out about 2 weeks earlier than they needed to. Thanks for the detailed DP. Please let us know if you get shutdown after your new applications. Who knows? Maybe they are not sensitive to it after your account has aged one or two months. Bertrand

According to my DP here, Valley stopped monitoring my Chex sometime between 2 and 3 months from opening. Of course I have no idea if Popular does the same: #2000640 .
