[Expired] NASA Federal Credit Union $300 ePremier Checking Bonus

Update 1/2/24: Looks like you need to manually request the debit card in at least some instances. You can check under ‘manage cards’ and if it shows ‘No cards were found, please contact your financial institution for information on applying for a card’ then you’ll need to request one.

Avoiding Fees

ePremier Checking Account $8 Monthly Fee

The monthly fee on this account is waived if you have a direct deposit or 3 active online BillPay+ with eStatements.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find any early account termination fee in their fee schedule.

Our Verdict

Terms say that it’s not transferable, so I assume it’s a targeted offer. As this seems to be open to everybody and much better than the previous $125 bonus I’d recommend doing this offer. I expect it to be popular so I’d probably sign up sooner rather than later to avoid the offer being pulled. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
