Our Verdict
This is a good deal for those who live in Arizona and are near a MidFirst branch. The only problem with this offer currently are all of the unknowns, for example we don’t know if it’s a hard pull to open the account or not. If you’ve had experience with MidFirst, please let us know if they did a hard pull and if you were able to fund the account with a credit card.
Because of the geographical restrictions and the unknowns this bonus will not be listed on our best bonus page, but we will add it to our complete listing of bank bonuses which can be found here.

Hat tip to regular commentator Ny!
I pushed my mother into this offer. She had to open in person and there was no CC funding and there was no hard pull. She is going to use Bluebird as DD, depending on what that looks like on her online account, I may have her update her payroll to be sure she gets the bonus.
