For more accurate info, see this updated post: $150 Tech CU Checking Promotion – Available Nationwide
Just a quick heads up for California residents: There is a $150 bonus available for opening a checking account with Tech Credit Union when receiving a direct deposit and making a bill payment within 90-days. Must use code: moveon during account opening. Offer ends 12/31/15 – that means soon. 🙂
Membership availability details found here.
There may be a hard pull for joining the credit union. There is $1,000 in credit card funding which is nice; no Amex though.

Do you have to use a credit card in your name to do cc funding or can you use a card under someone else’s name?
I have never heard of that working for any bank account (except when it was a joint account, and the name on the cc was the person opening the account with you).
You should get yourself an AU card from that person instead.
Not necessary to be a Cali resident. Join the Financial Fitness Association for $8/yr and you’re eligible. That may be its only value but maybe there are other benefits to joining
….and according to CSR, only a softie
after clicking the direct link i was taken to a page where at the very bottom it says offer ends july 31, 2016, so looks like this offer was extended
Thanks
Doesn’t seem to end today:
“To qualify for offer, a new membership and Tech CU checking account must be opened by July 31, 2016.”
Yup, looks like they just updated it. We’ll repost the original post with the new expiration date at some point.

I applied at that time, received bonus promptly. No hard pull shown on credit karma; other commenter said chexsystem
Ooohh, I didn’t realize we’d posted this one already.
what type of direct deposit did you use?
