Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Checking account has no monthly fee to worry about. Money market account has a $10 monthly fee, this is waived with a minimum balance of $5,000.
Early Account Termination Fee
There is a $10 fee if the account is closed within 90 days.
Our Verdict
Credit card bonus isn’t worth considering as it’s only for $25 and will result in a hard pull. The checking bonus is worth doing as the requirements are fairly easy to meet. The money market account earns 0.5% APY on balances of $10,000+. This with the $100 bonus basically means you’d be earning 4.5% APY during the 90 day period, good but not great. Probably not worth it for most people, but will vary based on what high interest accounts you have. I’ll add these to our lists of the best bank account bonuses.

Anyone get a 2020 1099-INT from Incredible ye? I did the $175 checking promo.
I did on 1/25.
Closed account by sending them a message in the morning and they closed it within 2 hours.
Got the bonus with legit DD (Oct, Nov & Dec.), withdrew everything, they sent me a snail mail saying my account is going to get shut in 15 days, well, thank you for saving me the hassle of chat lol
Serious Fail: I never downloaded the new app. I had the old app on my phone. No bonus for me.
Details, details, details! dangit!
MoreSun Holy crap, I would have never thought they would have even really checked that. I guess that’s a lesson learned about this bonus.
Had real DDs. Missed the app requirement. Denied bonus. 🤦🏼♂️
Nice to know I’m not alone
That reminds me of a Suntrust bonus I missed out on several years ago. I did everything right but missed a small detail similar to this and they refused to budge.
This makes me feel a little better about missing the deadline for this offer. It’s possible I would have made the same mistake you did as I didn’t even know that was part of the requirements.
I did not download the app still got the bonus. Did you try to get them reconsider the bonus payout?
They refused. Cited that I didn’t download the app so I didn’t qualify for the bonus. Glad they didn’t catch you!
I had $300 real DD for Oct&Nov. $200 real DD for Dec. No bonus. Do we need $300 on all the months?
September Opened account
October $300 transfer from Wells Fargo
November $300 from WF
Jan 6th, 2020: $175 Promotional Bonus
$175 Bonus posted on 01/06.
I used Schwab brokerage to do DD in October, November, and December.
I closed my account on 01/07 through the online chat.
Withdrew all money out before closing or they sending a check?.
I withdrew all the money before closing.
Bonus posted 01/06
Chase DD in Oct and Nov
$175 bonus posted yesterday. I did Chase ACH in Oct, Nov & Dec.
So just to confirm – we are fair to close our account once the bonus has hit, correct?
