The number to call and sign up in the email is 1-800-720-BANK. The link in the email takes you to the same place if you just go to usbank.com and then click on checking to signup. There was nothing verifying this deal was offered. I recommend calling the number to qualify.

I have uploaded an image of the email here: US Bank $125 Bonus

Just fyi: my experience with this bank in the past has been terrible- among other issues, but perhaps most importantly though, their last bonus language stated they would allow monthly recurring deposits to satisfy the bonus requirement. I tried this, and was denied the sign-up bonus as my deposits did not originate from my employer (just set up ach from chkg). So, ymmv. Best of luck to the rest of you!

Holy hannah they offer 0.01% and call it interest checking. Oh, that's on a min balance of 10k. Katie bar the door, the rate chasers are going to stampede.

OP, did your email come with a link you can share?

Will this cost a hard pull also?

My personal experiences with U.S. bank has been extremely poor at best. Although 125 dollars is a very nice sign up bonus, their insanely poor customer serivce doesn't make that amount worth the effort too me. Save yourself the trouble and find a much better place to bank.

I did the $75 bonus offer and got the bonus - might try for this one after the link is posted

Did they make a hard pull on your reports?Yep - they pulled TU (I'm in Chicago)

Old $75 thread

just called they are closed. Has anyone gotten this, I have been waiting to move to them because of their over draft program but not until there is a sign up bonus. Instead I went to Bank of America for their $75 bonus but can't wait to get the hell out of there!

I called the 1-800 number. Representative informed me that currently no promotion is going on for checking account with direct deposit.

He said unless I have recieved promotional offer from US bank in mail.
