Got same thing here. Opened it 6/15 Funded it with $1000 with my citi dividend card(someone here mentioned that that's the highest you should go)and it shows up under purchases. Not a bad deal if they pay me the $100.I get the $100 and $10 CashBack for opening an account I probably won't use

No mention of this in the terms so I re-inquired about the payment, but I'm not holding my breath.

what about those who had checking account before but was closed?

I took advantage of this offer the first day it was posted.

Opened a new account online (per offer spec's) with my world points visa for the initial deposit of 50.00... mind you I still had a free checking with a 2.00 balance from the last 100.00 offer about 1 year ago.

I received an email that In order to finalize the transaction I must make the deposit in branch. The teller basically closed my old account and then made the initial cash deposit in the new account.

Surprise Surprise I found the 100.00 bonus posted on my statement for this month! Easy money!

Thanks! I decided to go ahead and open an account yesterday to see what happens. After opening, I called the number that is listed here and confirmed that I will be getting the $100 bonus. I'll see if that happens. Will update.

I hadn't had that happen to me, but I did notice that when signing up for this promo and others on the online application, not only is the MYAccess checked in the box but also a savings(which is listed second)is also automatically checked. I just unchecked the box and had no problems. Just wondering if you noticed that. Maybe that's why a savings was opened also. But certainly if it was in error, the CSR should have closed it like you stated.

So beware of what boxes beside the accounts are automatically checked before submitting application!!!

I received the bonus after having a closed checking account so you should be fine.

I just applied for the checking account.

I already have a Student Checking Account, and BoA Gold Card, and a former MBNA account. It said my application was complete, I did not have any options of funding the account. Here's what it said:

"Congratulations, you have successfully submitted your application.

Once your application has been processed and approved, you will receive your account number and signature card through the U.S Postal Service within 7 – 10 business days. If your new account is approved it will appear in your Online Banking profile within 2 – 4 business days."

As soon as I see it in my online profile I will fund it with the $25.

Edit: I just received this email about funding options.
"Your application will now be processed and if approved, you will receive your account number and signature card through the U.S Postal Service within 7 - 10 business days. If your new account is approved it will appear in your Online Banking profile within 1 - 2 business days.

Once your account has been opened please use one of the options below to make your initial deposit to your new account.
