Applied with chex frozen, instant approval. Chase ink went pending as sale, no indication of cash advance.
Denied… phoned up, was told they don’t track reasons. Tried twice, once on desktop and another on mobile using cellular connection (based off a comment below) No dice on either attempt. Avenge me!
What would qualify as point of sale debit card transactions? Would online bill pays count?
It would mean using your debit card. Online bill pay doesn’t involve your debit card, unless you use it to pay a bill directly.
Unknown. Paying a bill with a debit card is usually a signature transaction. POS is typically in store. Depending on what it shows I the statement, paying bills might not work. CSF
Not sure if chex sensitive but denied to open the account
I had the same thing happen when applying via desktop over Wi-Fi. Same day, I applied via cell phone w/ Wi-Fi off, over cellular, and instantly approved. Jun
Where is the $100 bonus mentioned?
I dont see it either
Shows here on p21 link above. Just scroll down once there.
William Charles Although it says debit card funding, Citi Double Cash worked. Applied Saturday, posted today as a purchase. $1K funding is only available on the initial application. Adding accounts later DOES NOT allow CC funding.
Chex ?
Zynlo didn’t pull Chex. I froze mine just in case, but there is no “Inquiry Viewed Only by You” for Zynlo or PeoplesBank on my Chex, so I don’t believe they even tried. If they had tried, I would have expected to see it listed there. snailrock
🙂 yay
Gadget 🕵️♂️ Bank Bonus Geek 🔗 You froze even all 3 credit bureaus before applying and got approved?
I froze Chex. I did not freeze anything else. It was unnecessary. Doc_Liker
Are non-US citizens eligible to apply?
“An unnatural use of the ZYNG benefit” (page 21). My wife told me something about this
Anyone have dps on what works for direct deposit?
Direct deposit not required, any ACH will do. From the terms:
“A qualifying deposit is an ACH credit ($500 or greater) deposited into your new More Spending Account.”
bonus is ok, but no reason to jump through their hoops to get 5% when you can just go to openbank and get 5% with no hoops.
what hoops? there are no requirements for the 5% savings.
People are getting confused with the round up matching program, which does have hoops. person Peter
There are no hoops at either bank, but AFAIK OpenBank requires a Chex inquiry. Zynlo does not. Peter
