I finally got the bonus on this one after filing a cfcb complaint on them about them not properly statingthe terms which required DD of $1000 a month for however many months. Got a letter from someone stating I was eligible and they paid it out on 2/3. Probably was a pity bonus payout but will take it. Have since zero’d the balance and closed the account. #NeverSkyOneAgain Will never really look their way for an account bonus again…

“Could not verify identity” from every correct answer to Chex and the usual personal information and drivers license. The stuff that real banks and credit unions use in one application to approve me essentially automatically. Like who’s been living at the same address for almost 20 years now? This was a HARD PULL which damages credit uselessly for years.

I joined last month only to be shut down a day or so later with no explanation (but assume Chex).

Sounds like they’re the new Teachers

Almost exactly like Teachers. I’m still getting emails (marketing stuff) from both of them despite them closing the accounts.

All datapoints from the recent offer seem to suggest extreme Chex sensitivity. Less than a handful of people out of dozens in the comments got approved, and half of those people had their accounts closed shortly after opening.

Recent application “Declined due to too many inquires”.

How many inquires do you have recently? e.g. in the last 3, 6, 12 months?

“To receive the $100 bonus, you must open an Advantage Checking account and setup direct deposit through our Direct Deposit Wizard portal”. Using their portal to set up DD can be the deal breaker part.

Yeah, this “Wizard portal” sounds both magical and problematic.

Edit: “…pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”

That’s right. Even if you have real DD.
What if the wizard portal doesn’t support your company?
For example, if your employers don’t use the big payroll system such as Oracle but Gusto or Government/Social Security?

Point taken. But I never had any intention of using a real direct deposit 🙂
