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?

Any credit pull for the account?

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.

Looks like the minimum is $2,500:
rate APY min. balance
0.65% 0.65% $2,500 .

For me the loss in interest would negate a lot of the $125 bonus.

Well, $125 on $2,500 is 1-year APY of 5%. You have to keep account open for probably 5 to 6 months...

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.

If there is no min balance it may be worth it.

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

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
