The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Open a relationship checking account with Pacific Service credit union and receive a bonus of $100 or open a free checking account and receive a bonus of $50. Make sure to use the promo code CHECK100 when opening your account online.

The Fine Print

• Bonus will be deposited by June 10th, 2015
• One bonus per person
• Members who have closed a Pacific Service CU within the past 12 months are not eligible
• Account must be in good standing with a minimum balance of $50 on May 31, 2015 to receive incentive
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Relationship checking account comes with a $10 monthly fee which is waived if you have $25,000 in combined balances with pacific service credit union. The free checking account has no monthly fee.

If you close your account within 90 days, they reserve the right to claw back the $100/$50 bonuses.

Our Verdict

This deal is not worth it considering you need to keep $25,000 invested that does not interest to get the full $100 bonus and the fact we don’t know whether it’s a hard or soft pull. Which is a shame because I love deals with no direct deposit requirement.

I’d recommend doing one of these bank bonuses instead. Alternatively you can have a look through all of the different bonuses currently available.
