Thanks OP.

Hard Pull?

So looks like the breakdown for bonus is like this:
1) 20 debit card purchases in 90 days - $50 bonus
2) Direct Deposit of at least $100 within 90 days or sign up for e-statements* - $50 bonus
3) Refer a friend - $25 bonus

* Thanks to the skeer27's post below for catching this.

Perhaps sign up first and then refer spouse or family or friends and get the $25 referral.

Mark

Good catch, I missed that, I think most will opt for e-statements, way easier and hassle free to fullfill.

Yes.

No hard pull per the CSR who set up my account. She also said that you can take advantage of as many $25 referrals as you want.
