That's pretty cool. I would like to highlight one thing from the terms:
Direct deposit can be from an employer or governmental source and must be directed into your eChecking account at Meadows. PayPal, CashEdge and other non-employment direct transfers do not qualify.
Even then, it's not a bad promo... I wonder how flexible my company's payroll department is?
It's a good question - we'll need to find out. So far the only bank that did a credit pull when I was opening an account, was the Citibank.

I think $2500 min is to earn interest, otherwise there is no minimum requiurement to avoid fee - you just need DD.

I have this account for about 2 years now and there is no minimum balance requirement, but of course things could've changed so call to make sure.

Has anyone been rejected for being out of state? That would make the description of the field of membership pretty misleading.

Yes, you can join this credit union if you have a valid email address, but only can get the 125 credit if your are a resident of Illinois.
$125 award will be paid by electronic deposit into your eChecking account in $25 increments for 5 consecutive months, beginning only after eChecking account is opened, direct deposit is started, and account is in good standing. If at any time, direct deposit is stopped, that month's award, and all subsequent award payments are forfeited. $125 Reward is only valid on standard eChecking accounts. Illinois residents only. For questions concerning the promotion rules, please contact the Meadows Credit Union Marketing Department.
The IL residents only is newly added. I have a screenshot of the terms from before it was there. I can post it if someone is willing to host it. For me it is not worth arguing about so I am not going to pursue it but if anyone wants it I am happy to oblige
