Avoiding Fees
The account required has no monthly fee to worry about. I wasn’t able to find any mention of any early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
They seem to have a $200 bonus that is still valid as well, so signing up for that makes more sense then this offer. It would be nice if we knew if it was a hard/soft pull but unfortunately we don’t so won’t be adding either offer to our list of the best bonuses.
