I pushed $500 from CapitalOne 360 checking into Bank of the West and it coded as a “Credit” not Direct Deposit.

Oops, I was wrong, or perhaps they changed it. It says Direct Deposit now as the transaction type.

Please clarify if it was the Paypal or Capital one that went thru as Direct ? Thanks.

Oh come on! Am I the only one who hasn’t gotten the bonus? Is it time to call the bank? I’ve posted 250+ for the first 5 statements in a row

Per the fine print, “Bonus will be credited to the open checking account by 10/31/2019” I would say yes it is time to contact seeing as how any deposit counted on on this one.

Bonus posted on 10/18.

Had been doing ACH pushes from my bank, transferring $250 in on the 10th of every month, then out 1 week later. Always maintained a small balance just in case though.

Anybody know how long we have to keep the account open after the bonus posted?

You only had to keep the account open for 90 days, so if you came this far you can close it immediately after you transfer your money out of there.

But don’t do that. Let it stay there for 1-2 months.

Why do you recommend leaving the money there for 1-2 months?

DP:
– Opened Checking Account in April 2019
– Made $250 Deposits via External Bank Transfer Between April and Oct 2019
– $250 Bonus Arrived on Oct 18 2019

I will keep the checking account open since it’s free as long as I make any deposit. So I plan to make monthly $1 deposits.
