FYI, this was a HP for me (Equifax).
I did earlier offer for $300 and was able to charge $500 opening deposit via Chase Freedom Unlimited. I will keep this account as long as interest rate stays high (5.5% on $25k when you qualify with debits and DD). I like that the app has a tracker to show qualification progress so you know where you stand.
If you would like a referral ($100) use link here: https://linktr.ee/b_squared to contact me and I can also answer any questions.

I called in today to inquire about not receiving the bonus yet and was told that there was “a bit of a delay” in paying out the bonuses, and if it isn’t posted by Monday, I should call back.
We’ll see.

I just chatted with a rep since I met all the requirements, including the weird 26th to 25th dates aspect, but was told I didn’t qualify b/c the account was technically opened on July 1 after applying online over the weekend of June 29-30. In fact, he said all applications received weekend of 29-30 were disqualified, and management has told them no exceptions. Terms did not specify this, and when I applied the bonus page was still active, so seems like CFPB time?

I didn’t realize the timeframe for the deposit was from the 26th of the previous month to the 25th of the following month, so I messed up on the timing for the $300 bonus.

Anyone receive the $100 referral bonus? When I inquired about it, they wanted me to send the name of the person who referred me, which I don’t have. So they’re basically not paying out that bonus either. I received their email confirming that I did sign up with the referral, But I guess that’s not good enough for them. Pretty dumb that they don’t have it tracked on their end. I’ll probably file a CFPB complaint.

Not sure if I’ll the get bonus on this one because I forgot about this account for a little while after opening. However, I do have dps to share.

*Fidelity CMA triggered the $500 dd requirement
*cash app $1 loads triggered the debit transaction(was able to do 3x per day before the bank would decline, so did 3x for 5 days)
