[branch only] Capital One $200 cheching offer in Connecticut, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Texas.

Text

not sure it is hard or soft pull

Not had your morning coffee yet or what?

Che-ching offer sounds good but I am very suspicious - is that a Chinese knock off of Capital One?

T&C said: † The Capital One, N.A., payroll/direct deposit reward promotion is effective for sixty (60) days following the day of a consumer's receipt via U.S. Mail of the required invitation addressed to his/her attention. To qualify for the $200 cash reward, you must present this mailer you received when you open a Capital One Bank branch personal checking account during the promotional period and enroll in payroll/direct deposit within 90 days of account opening. Qualifying individuals will receive a $200 credit to their checking account approximately 6-8 weeks after the first payroll/direct deposit transaction is posted to the account. Limit one reward per customer.

Anyone know if this is true? Pretty nice bonus if I don't need the mailer.

"Bring the mail piece you received and mention promo code RC2"

so, do we need the mailing?

1) Do we need the mailer?
2) Does CapOne count ACH Push as DD?
3) Can someone confirm soft pull?

This is a great offer if they count ACH push. Even if someone signs up today, we won't have confirmation of ACH push working for about 2 months and then the offer may be expired. It's probably best to jump on it and worst case scenario you have a (another) free checking account.

It's funny that I was wondering when CapOne was going to start offering money to open an account. I don't remember them having one before and it's one of the few major banks that I haven't had an account with.

they've offered cash for new accounts since 2007 in my area.

Just opened one in NJ with a printout of the web page. No problems so far. Will report back in 8-10 weeks.

seriously though, they're all over the place in lower NY. i'm surprised that they don't have even 1 remotely near you.

I also got the promo email, but it's only $150.

I'll use promo code RC2 from OP's link and see if they'll give $200.

I read the fine print and didn't see any reference, but are there exclusions for more than one account in a household? I would like to do this for my wife and I.

Any one tried in Texas with the print out? Do we need a real DD to get the $200?

I just did it this afternoon at a branch in San Antonio. I took the printout and mentioned, like the previous poster suggested, that it came with my card statement. The banker didn't verify that I had a card, or even mention anything else about it.

Is it ok to go to branch without having credit card with them with web print out of the offer? is there any limitation per household?

do you have to sign up with direct deposit to qualify or just open up a checking account, in new jersey

much like what hes talking about

kabukicho said: i havent opened a checking in yrs. they give you a starter book of checks right? i wannna pay bills this monthg as it's double no hassle rewards from may to june A lot of banks don't give you free starter book. Someone in this thread reported that they did receive 150 starter checks. On the bright side, most banks have a bill pay service (they print and mail the checks out for you or send them electronically which is super convenient and saves you money on postage).

Per request, here's the link for the RC5 promo.

RC5 $150 Promo

I also opened 2 accounts last month in Dallas area (in 2 different branches) - for me and my wife. In each place we mumbled something about having Capital One credit card in the past
(it was partially true - only one of us did) and receiving e-mail from them with that offer, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, they did not seem to care much. Opened account, promised to get $200
within 6-8 week after 1st direct deposit. Obviously, cannot confirm on that yet.

By the way, don't forget about the points ! Each of us got 5000 bonus points (1000 for opening and 4000 for the first deposit or something). Then we transferred them into one account (they allow that !)
and redeemed 10,000 for $50 cash. Already got the check !

how would i know if the lady who opened my account at bank did put the promotion code,she seemed new and was asking her colleague so many questions while opening my account. I read on FW that in some cases they forget to put the promotion code and then after waiting 5-6 weeks you have to go back and forth to make it correct.

is there anywhere in my online account or may be some other way i can check that she keyed in the promotion code...
