  • For people that got the bonus, how long did it take to post?

    I have not seen anything in my account yet. I looked at my Sept statement and I met the requirements for the Big Deal interest rate, which, as far as I can tell, are the same as the bonus. Getting worried as I opened the account in middle of August so, my 60 days are up now. I only had one statement month (Sept) to meet the requirements.

  • What the heck is an "automatic payment"?? Push bill pay? Pull bill pay? Something else? Need to figure this out by end of next week.

    • I tried to make a card payment by pulling from Citi. Kept failing on the Plaid connection after selecting the account to link. I did enroll in bill pay on the Frontier side. Setup a payment from the Frontier side. Hopefully that counts as an "automatic payment."

    • Also, I keep getting logged out and then I can't log back in. I have to use a different browser. "For security reasons, your session has ended. Log in again."

    • I'm not seeing it either. Assuming expired but that was particularly fast for "No end date listed"

  • What does "automatic payment" mean?
    Whether ACH withdraw money from other bank will count?
    Many thanks!

  • Keep the records of all the qualifications you've met. I had these guys last winter and they failed to answer emails and give me the bonus. I kept all records and they said they never offered the deal. I failed to keep a screenshot of their name w the offer snd I just decided it wasn't worth a fight and closed the account. Debating on if I should do this again or if I'm able.
