The Offer
No direct link to offer, shows when logged in
- Affinity Credit Union is offering some existing customers a bonus of $150 when they receive a recurring direct deposit of $1,500 or more for three months
Our Verdict
You can see what has triggered the direct deposit requirement in the past here. Terms of the offer can be found here. Nice little extra bonus for those targeted.
Hat tip to reader Josh
Did anyone get extra monthly cashback? I didn’t use my card, but I got it.Never mind. It was from a charge from 4/30.
Affinity Federal Credit Union, update on DP. The following did NOT work:
Ally
Discover Savings
Marcus
Orange County CU
Wells Fargo
What did work (oddly enough posted as referral bonus):
IRS tax refund (in April 2023)
Like others, I have no bonus posted yet. Affinity is asking for paystubs to confirm real DDs in an internal ticket. If they’re doing that for real DDs, I’d be surprised if regular ACH pushes from other banks will count as DD.
UPDATE: Bonus posted 3 business days after providing paystubs to Affinity.
Sofi pushes did not work, I guess. No bonus for me.
Did three pushes from Discover savings in March, April, May
(“EXT DEP DISCOVER BANK DC FINOUT/FINOUTCR PREARRANGE”)
No bonus yet
Sent secure message, was informed that my Discover Savings deposits did not code as dd.
Transferred all funds back to hub account.
